The new 'MonoBook' skin is not compatible with PHP 5 due to bugs in the underlying PHPTAL library.

However this software is provided with NO +WARRANTY of fitness for any purpose; there may be some interesting bugs, it may +eat all your data, and documentation may not be up to date. New features in 1.2: +* In-place web-based installation [experimental!] Note that maintenance +functions are not yet available through the web install script. +* 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! +* Should work out of the box on MySQL 3.2.x again. On 4.x set +{{wg|EnablePersistentLC}} = true; to turn on the link cache table +for a slight rendering speed boost. +* Should work on PHP 5.0 beta (not thoroughly tested) +* Works with short tags disabled. +* rebuildMessages.php can now selectively update new messages, or overwrite +everything. +* Some layout fixes for RTL languages. +* Now includes arrow icons for enhanced recent changes. +* Various bug fixes. + +=== 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 ({{manual|patch-ipb_expiry.sql}} for manual updaters). +The links tables have slightly stricter indexes. ('links' and 'brokenlinks' are +not changed on existing installations.) + +=== Known problems === +The version 1.1.0 LocalSettings.sample file included the setting +{{wg|CategoryMagic}} = true; this setting is for an experimental +feature that _does not work correctly_. If you have it left over, turn it off +or you'll see mysterious problems with vanishing links. There may be problems +with session handling on some systems. Checking the "remember my password" box +may help as a temporary workaround. If you receive "Cannot load input file" +errors when trying to get at the wiki after installation, make the following +changes: + in LocalSettings.php change the line something like this: + {{wg|ArticlePath}} = "/wiki/index.php/$1"; + to: + {{wg|ArticlePath}} = "/wiki/index.php?title=$1"; + in index.php, remove these lines: + if( isset( $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] ) ) { + $title = substr( $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], 1 ); + } else { + $title = $_REQUEST['title']; + } + = MediaWiki 1.1 = == MediaWiki 1.1.0, 2003-12-08 ==
