-== Overview of changes from mediawiki-20031117 release: ==
+== Version 1.3.0pre-alpha ==
+
+Various things will be happening for 1.3.0...
+* More advanced parser
+* New schema...
+* Magic goodies!
+* Included PHPTAL 0.7.0 from http://phptal.sourceforge.net/
+* stuff
+
+== Version 1.2.0 ==
+
+New features in 1.2:
+* Image resizing/thumbnail generation
+* Stricter upload file extension blacklist and whitelist options
+* More flexible blocking system; time period may be set
+* Handier sysop account management. An account marked "bureaucrat"
+ may assign sysop access to other accounts via Special:Makesysop.
+ (The exact details of this may change in the future)
+* Support for a squid cache with explicit purging of cached anon pages
+* Optional compression of old revision text (requires zlib support)
+* Fuzzy title search (experimental, requires memcached)
+* Page rendering cache (experimental)
+* Editing toolbar to demonstrate wiki syntax to newbies
+ (off by default in user preferences)
+* Support for authenticated SMTP outgoing e-mail (experimental)
+* It's now possible to assign sysop accounts from within the wiki.
+ An account with this ability must be labeled with the "bureaucrat"
+ privilege, such as the 'Developer' account created by the install.
+
+Fixes and tweaks:
+* Now works with register_globals off!
+* Works with short tags disabled.
+* Should work out of the box on MySQL 3.2.x again. On 4.x set
+ $wgEnablePersistentLC = true; to turn on the link cache table
+ for a slight rendering speed boost.
+* rebuildMessages.php can now selectively update new messages, or
+ overwrite everything.
+* Various bug fixes.
+* Other stuff we forgot.
+* Documentation more out of date than ever before!
+
+=== Behavior changes ===
+
+* wiki.phtml and redirect.phtml are now renamed to index.php and redirect.php
+ 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).
+
+
