MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
|
|
|
|
|
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
|
|
|
|
|
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.

|
|
|
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
|
|
|
|
|
from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature development happen
|
|
|
|
|
will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
|
|
|
|
|
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN

== Compatibility ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-10-10 22:05:24 +00:00
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.9 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
|
2006-04-05 01:38:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-11-11 16:59:32 +00:00
|
|
|
PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
|
|
|
|
|
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrade affected systems to PHP 5.1 or higher.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-05-02 19:09:51 +00:00
|
|
|
MySQL 3.23.x is no longer supported; some older hosts may need to upgrade.
|
2006-04-05 01:38:50 +00:00
|
|
|
At this time we still recommend 4.0, but 4.1/5.0 will work fine in most cases.

== Upgrading ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-10-10 21:43:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Some minor database changes have been made since 1.7:
|
|
|
|
|
* new fields and indexes on ipblocks
|
|
|
|
|
* index change on recentchanges
|
2006-04-04 07:50:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-10-10 21:43:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Several changes from 1.5 and 1.6 do require updates to be run on upgrade.
|
2006-04-04 07:50:19 +00:00
|
|
|
To ensure that these tables are filled with data, run refreshLinks.php after
|
|
|
|
|
the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
|
2006-04-05 01:38:50 +00:00
|
|
|
changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
|
|
|
|
|
break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
|
2006-04-04 07:50:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.

=== 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.)
