Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
|
||
setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
|
||
|
||
== MediaWiki 1.13 ==
|
||
|
||
THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
|
||
|
||
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 developments
|
||
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 ==
|
||
|
||
MediaWiki 1.13 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
MySQL 3.23.x is no longer supported; some older hosts may need to upgrade.
|
||
At this time we still recommend 4.0, but 4.1/5.0 will work fine in most cases.
|
||
|
||
|
||
== Upgrading ==
|
||
|
||
1.13 has several database changes since 1.12, and will not work without schema
|
||
updates.
|
||
|
||
If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
|
||
new database fields are filled with data.
|
||
|
||
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!
|
||
|
||
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.)
|
||
|
||
For notes on 1.12.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
|
||
|
||
|
||
=== Online documentation ===
|
||
|
||
Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is currently being
|
||
built up on MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation
|
||
License (except for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in
|
||
the public domain) :
|
||
|
||
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation
|
||
|
||
|
||
=== Mailing list ===
|
||
|
||
A MediaWiki-l mailing list has been set up distinct from the Wikipedia
|
||
wikitech-l list:
|
||
|
||
http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
|
||
|
||
A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
|
||
|
||
http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
|
||
|
||
It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
|
||
going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
=== IRC help ===
|
||
|
||
There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net
