+=== PHP 5.2 now required ==
+In 1.18, the lowest supported version of MediaWiki is now 5.2.x. Please upgrade
+PHP if you have not done so prior to upgrading MediaWiki.

=== Configuration changes in 1.18 ===
* The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with
WantedPages::getQueryInfo . This may break older extensions.
-* $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined login / create account
- link in the personal bar, or to output separate login and create account links
-* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in $wgValidSkinNames but now
- the value. This means for $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin
- loader will no longer try loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook.
-* The parser now attempts to output markers for editsection tokens and defer the rendering
- of them so skin and language specific markup does not need to be saved inside the parser cache
- note that this changes the cache key making all old entries in the parser cache invalid you
- can set $wgUseEditSectionTokens to false to disable this and keep your old parser cache entries.
