great, but it should work to extract over the old files too. This may
be easier if you have images etc in place and don't want to move them
around, but remember to back up first!

== IMPORTANT: Upgrading to 1.5 ==
Among other changes, note that Latin-1 encoding (ISO-8859-1) is
no longer supported. Latin-1 wikis will need to be upgraded to
-UTF-8, however the updater has not yet been updated to support
-this automatically.
+UTF-8; an experimental command-line upgrade helper script,
+'upgrade1_5.php', can do this -- run it prior to 'update.php' or
+the web upgrader.
+
+If you absolutely cannot make the UTF-8 upgrade work, you can try
+doing it by hand: dump your old database, convert the dump file
+using iconv as described here:
+http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/jbartsh_utf-8.html
+and then reimport it. You can also convert filenames using convmv,
+but note that the old directory hashes will no longer be valid,
+so you will also have to move them to new destinations.
Message changes:
* A number of additional UI messages have been chagned from HTML to
set:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
-If $wgWhitelistRead is set, things need to be funked around. This needs work.
+$wgWhitelistEdit has been replaced by the 'edit' permission key.
+To emulate the old effect of setting:
+ $wgWhitelistEdit = true;
+set:
+ $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
+
+If $wgWhitelistRead is set, you must also disable the 'read' permission
+for it to take affect on anonymous users:
+ $wgWhitelistRead = array( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin" );
+ $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
+
+Note that you can disable/enable several other permissions by modifying
+this configuration array in your LocalSettings.php; see DefaultSettings.php
+for the complete default permission set.
-bla bla bla
+If using Memcached, you must enabled it differently now:
+ $wgUseMemCached = true;
+should be replaced with:
+ $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED;
