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 1.5 beta 3 ==
-
-July 7, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release
-series, with a security update over beta 2.
-
-Incorrect escaping of a parameter in the page move template could
-be used to inject JavaScript code by getting a victim to visit a
-maliciously constructed URL. Users of vulnerable releases are
-recommended to upgrade to this release.
-
-Vulnerable versions:
-* 1.5 preview series: n <= 1.5beta2 vulnerable, fixed in 1.5beta3
-* 1.4 stable series: 1.4beta6 <= n <= 1.4.5 vulnerable, fixed in 1.4.6
-* 1.3 legacy series: not vulnerable
-
-This release also includes several bug fixes and localization updates.
-See the changelog at the end of this file for a detailed list.
-
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 ==
-
-July 5, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
-While most exciting new bugs should have been ironed out at this point,
-third-party wiki operators should probably not run this beta release
-on a public site without closely following additional development.
-
-Anyone who _has_ been running beta 1 is very very strongly advised to
-upgrade to beta 2, as it fixes many bugs from the previous beta including
-a couple of HTML and SQL injections.
-
-This release should be followed by one or two release candidates and
-a 1.5.0 final within the next few weeks.
-
-Beta upgraders, note there are some minor database changes. For upgrades
-from 1.4, see the file UPGRADE for details on significant database and
-configuration file changes.
-
-Beta 2 includes a preliminary command-line XML wiki dump importer tool,
-maintenance/importDump.php, paired with maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
-These use the same format as Special:Export and Special:Import, able
-to package a wiki's entire page set independent of the backend database
-and compression format.
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 ==
-
-June 26, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 is a preview release, pretty much feature complete,
-of the new 1.5 release series. There are several known and likely a number
-of unknown bugs; it is not recommended to use this release in a production
-environment but would be recommended for testing in mind of an upcoming
-deployment.
-
-A number of significant changes have been made since the alpha releases,
-including database changes and a reworking of the user permissions settings.
-See the file UPGRADE for details of upgrading and changing your prior
-configuration settings for the new system.
-
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 ==
-
-June 3, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 includes a lot of bug fixes, feature merges,
-and a security update.
-
-Incorrect handling of page template inclusions made it possible to
-inject JavaScript code into HTML attributes, which could lead to
-cross-site scripting attacks on a publicly editable wiki.
-
-Vulnerable releases and fix:
-* 1.5 prerelease: fixed in 1.5alpha2
-* 1.4 stable series: fixed in 1.4.5
-* 1.3 legacy series: fixed in 1.3.13
-* 1.2 series no longer supported; upgrade to 1.4.5 strongly recommended
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 1 ==
-
-May 3, 2005
-
-This is a testing preview release, being put out mainly to aid testers in
-finding installation bugs and other major problems. It is strongly recommended
-NOT to run a live production web site on this alpha release.

-
-=== Big changes ===
-
-Schema:
- The core table schema has changed significantly. This should make better
- use of the database's cache and disk I/O, and make significantly speed up
- rename and delete operations on pages with very long edit histories.
-
- Unfortunately this does mean upgrading a wiki of size from 1.4 will require
- some downtime for the schema restructuring, but future storage backend
- changes should be able to integrate into the new system more easily.
-
-Permalinks:
- The current revision of a page now has a permanent 'oldid' number assigned
- immediately, and the id numbers are now preserved across deletion/undeletion.
- A permanent reference to the current revision of a page is now just a matter
- of going to the 'history' tab and copying the first link in the list.
-
-Page move log:
- Renames of pages are now recorded in Special:Log and the page history.
- A handy revert link is available from the log for sysops.
-
-Editing diff:
- Ever lost track of what you'd done so far during an edit? A 'Show diff'
- button on the edit page now makes it easy to remember.
-
-Uploads:
- It's now possible to specify the final filename of an upload distinct
- from the original filename on your disk.
-
- An image link for a missing file will now take you straight to the upload page.
-
- More metadata is pre-extracted from uploaded images, which will ease pressure
- on disk or NFS volumes used to store images. EXIF metadata is displayed on
- the image description page if PHP is configured with the necessary module.
-
-User accounts:
- There are some changes to the user permissions system, with assignable
- groups. This is still somewhat in flux; do not rely on the present system
- that you see in this alpha to still be there.
-
-E-mail:
- User-to-user e-mail can now be restricted to require a mail-back confirmation
- first to reduce potential for abuse with false addresses.
-
- Updates to user talk pages and watchlist entries can optionally send e-mail
- notifications.
-
-External hooks:
- A somewhat experimental interface for hooking in an external editor
- application is included. This may not be on by default in final release,
- depending on support.
-
-And...
- A bunch of stuff we forgot to mention.
-
-
-=== What's gone? ===
-
-Latin-1:
- Wikis must now be encoded in Unicode UTF-8; this has been the default for
- some time, but some languages could optionally be installed in Latin-1 mode.
- This is no longer supported.
-
-MySQL 3.x:
- Some optimization hacks for MySQL 3.x have been removed as part of the schema
- clean-up (specifically, the inverse_timestamp fields). MediaWiki 1.5 should
- still run, but wikis of significant size should very seriously consider
- upgrading to a more modern release. MySQL 3.x support will probably be
- entirely dropped in the next major release later this year.
-
-Special:Maintenance
- These tools were, ironically enough, not really maintained. This special
- page has been removed; insofar as some of its pieces were useful and haven't
- already been supplanted by other special pages they should be rewritten in
- an efficient and safe manner in the future.
-
-
-=== What's still waiting? ===
-
-These things should be fixed by the time 1.5.0 final is released:
-
-Upgrade:
- Wikis in Latin-1 encoding are no longer supported; only Unicode UTF-8.
- A new option $wgLegacyEncoding is provided to allow on-the-fly recoding of
- old page text entries, but other metadata fields (titles, comments etc) need
- to be pre-converted. The upgrade process does not yet fully automate this.
-
- In general the upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 schema has not been tested for all
- cases, and there may be problems.
-
-Backups:
- The text entries of deleted pages are no longer removed from the main
- text table on deletion. If you provide public backup dumps of your databases,
- you will probably want to use the new XML-format dump generator... but
- this hasn't been finished yet.
-
-PostgreSQL:
- The table definitions for PostgreSQL install are out of date, and patches
- to support PostgreSQL from the main installer are still pending.
-
-MySQL 4.1+:
- Proper charset encoding / collation configuration for installs on MySQL 4.1
- and higher still needs to be fiddled with. Some bits may fail on the UTF-8
- setting due to some long field keys.
-
-Authentication plugin fixes:
- The AuthPlugin interface needs some improvements to work better with LDAP,
- HTTP basic auth, and other such environments. Some patches are pending.
-
-
-=== Smaller changes ===
-
-Various bugfixes, small features, and a few experimental things:

-* (bug 2151) The delete summary now includes editor name, if only one has edited the article.
