+Change notes from older releases. For current info see RELEASE-NOTES.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.11 ==
+
+This is the Summer 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
+
+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
+
+== Configuration changes since 1.10 ==
+
+* $wgThumbUpright - Adjust width of upright images when parameter 'upright' is
+ used
+* $wgAddGroups, $wgRemoveGroups - Finer control over who can assign which
+ usergroups
+* $wgEnotifImpersonal, $wgEnotifUseJobQ - Bulk mail options for large sites
+* $wgShowHostnames - Expose server host names through the API and HTML comments

+ images to a fix value which makes views for anon unproportional and user
+ preferences useless

+== MediaWiki 1.10 ==
+
+This is the Spring 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
+
+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
+
+== Configuration changes ==
+
+* A new switch $wgCommandLineDarkBg used by maintenance scripts (parserTests.php).
+ It lets you specify if your terminal use a dark background, the colorized
+ output will be made lighter making things easier to read.
+* The minimum permissions needed to edit a page in each namespace can now be
+ customized via the $wgNamespaceProtection array. By default, editing pages in
+ the MediaWiki namespace requires "editinterface" permission, as before.
+* Allow restriction of autoconfirmed permission by edit count. New global setting
+ $wgAutoConfirmCount (defaulting to zero, naturally).
+* Added rate limiter for Special:Emailuser
+* Private logs can now be created using $wgLogRestrictions
+* (Bug 8590) limited HTML is now always enabled ($wgUserHtml = true).

+ into a page protected with this option enabled

+ overridden by adding diffonly=1 or diffonly=0 to the URL of the diff page

+ format as block expiry dates. Existing protections are assumed to be infinite,
+ as are protections made with the new field left blank.

+ keywords
+* (bug 6987) Allow perrow, widths, and heights attributes for <gallery>

+ MediaWiki:Disclaimers; Also means that if any of the footer links are
+ disabled in the wiki's default language (by setting to "-"), they'll also
+ be disabled in other languages too (e.g. if the user specifies uselang=fr).
+* Sort log types in Special:Log
+* Added a classname ("mw-toolbar-editbutton") and unique IDs to the edit
+ toolbar buttons
+* Hide irrelevant block options in Special:Blockip based on whether an

+
+== Compatibility ==
+
+MediaWiki 1.10 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 ==
+
+1.10 has several database changes since 1.9, 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 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.
