+* Note about $wgUploadSizeWarning using byte
+* (bug 6592) Add most viewed pages summary to Special:Statistics

+ behavior is now a non-invasive check as with namespaceDupes.php
+* (bug 6660) Fix behaviour of EditPage::blockedPage() when the article does
+ not exist; now doesn't show the source box if the user hasn't provided it
+ (blocked mid-edit) and the page doesn't exist
+* Improve default value of "blockedtext"
+* (bug 6680) Added localisation for Dutch bookstore list (nl)

+* Merged LanguageUtf8 with Language. Removed LanguageUtf8.php.

-MediaWiki 1.7 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
+MediaWiki 1.8 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
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.
