MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for IBM
DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
The supported versions are:
* MySQL 4.0 or later
* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
* SQLite 3

If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
due to database schema changes.

If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
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!

* Reformatted several text documents to be a hybrid between wikitext and plain text, so that they look nicer in the new installer. * Removed the specialised getFileContents() functions, they are unnecessary now that I have reformatted COPYING into wikitext. In WebInstaller_Document::formatTextFile(): * Introduced new tab-indented syntax, which is equivalent to colon indents in ordinary wikitext. This was useful for reformatting the GPL. * Removed the special case for spaces preceding URLs, used tabs instead, with the above feature. * Removed the "numbers in square brackets" feature. The place where this was used, in README, was an unfortunate case where the square brackets originally indicated a footnote and its reference. Then another two "footnotes" were added with no corresponding reference, they just talked about random license-related stuff that happened to be similar to the footnote. It was never actually meant to be a numbered list. Fixed in README. * Convert from DOS line endings to UNIX early on, to simplify the regexes.

going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
