+=== Caveats ===
+
+Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
+produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
+set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
+cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
+MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)

+
+New features in 1.2:

+
+Fixes and tweaks:
+* Now works with register_globals off!
+* Works with short tags disabled.

+* Documentation more out of date than ever before!
+
+=== Behavior changes ===

+ The old names are provided too for compatibility, but make sure they don't
+ conflict if you've been putting other files in your wiki.
+* Uploaded filenames are more strictly checked than before. See bits in
+ DefaultSettings.php to tweak this behavior to your needs.
+* Database messages are now enabled by default, so the interface messages can
+ be tweaked through the wiki with a sysop account. Disable this if you
+ don't want the performance hit.
+
+=== Database changes ===
+
+An index was added to recentchanges table to speed up Newpages
+(patch-rc-newindex.sql for manual updaters).
+
+Expiration date field has been added to ipblocks table
+(patch-ipb_expiry.sql for manual updaters).
