+
+=== Database changes ===
+"linkscc" table added. If upgrading manually (rather than with
+{{manual|update.php}}), run maintenance/archives/patch-linkscc.sql to create
+the table. Older releases were dated snapshots from the old 'stable' branch:
+
+= pre-MediaWiki 1.1.0 =
+
+== Mediawiki-20031118 ==
+* Image deletion fixed.
+* Deletion of image old revisions now restricted to sysops (this is an
+irreversible action and not well logged)
+* Fixed maintenance scripts broken by last release's security fix
+* Many errors in {{manual|rebuildlinks.php|rebuildlinks}} script fixed.
+
+== Mediawiki-20031117 ==
+* SECURITY FIX: stricter checking of include path
+* Fixed user contributions next/prev bug
+* Login cookies now have the database name prefixed to allow wikis to coexist
+in the same domain. This will invalidate any old saved password cookies.
+* Update cache timestamp when talk pages are created
+* Saving the login form in Mozilla no longer blanks password in prefs.
+* Check existence of source page before performing a move.
+* Detect invalid titles in Special:Allpages
+* Q-encode headers on outgoing inter-user e-mail
+* Updates to some translations.
+* Added table of contents border/bg to Cologne Blue, Nostalgia skins
+* Protected pages no longer appear unprotected when visited via redirect
+* Swapped old Wikipedia logo for the MediaWiki sunflower logo
+* install.php, update.php print warning on old PHP versions, added
+compatibility functions that might or might not help No database changes since
+20031107; upgrading should be clean.
+
+== Mediawiki-20031107 ==
+* Fixed various bugs!
+* Some speed improvements from tweaks to the table indexes
+* Limited support for memcached (see below)
+* New translations (see below)
+* Interwiki link data now kept in database for flexibility
+* Friendlier read-only source view if asked to edit a page when the db is
+locked or the page is protected.
+* Normal IP blocks auto-expire after 24 hours
+* Optional support for blocking usernames
+* Uploads disabled by default (see below)
+
+== Mediawiki-20030829 ==
+First release under MediaWiki name.
+
+=== Security note ===
+Uploads are now disabled by default. If you've set up a secure configuration
+you can reenable uploads by putting: $wgDisableUploads = false;
+into LocalSettings.php. Earlier versions of MediaWiki included a bug that
+potentially allows logged- in users to delete arbitrary files in directories
+writable by the web server user by manually feeding false form data; this is
+now fixed. As a reminder, disable PHP script execution in the upload directory!
+You may also wish to serve HTML pages as plaintext to prevent cookie- stealing
+JavaScript attacks. Example Apache config fragment:
+
+
+ # Ignore .htaccess files
+ AllowOverride None
+
+ # Serve HTML as plaintext
+ AddType text/plain .html .htm .shtml
+
+ # Don't run arbitrary PHP code.
+ php_admin_flag engine off
+
+ # If you've other scripting languages, disable them too.
+
+
+
+=== Database updates ===
+If you're using {{manual|update.php}}, the necessary database changes should be
+made automatically. To manually upgrade your database from the 2003-08-29
+release, run the following SQL scripts from the maintenance subdirectory:
+archives/patch-ipblocks.sql archives/patch-interwiki.sql
+archives/patch-indexes.sql interwiki.sql To copy in the Wikipedia
+language-prefix interwikis as well, add: wikipedia-interwiki.sql
+
+=== Translations ===
+New interface localization files are included for:
+*fy - Frisian
+*ro - Romanian
+*sl - Slovene
+*sq - Albanian
+*sr - Serbian
+
+=== Memcached ===
+Memcached is a distributed cache system. See http://www.danga.com/memcached/
+MediaWiki can optionally use memcached to store some data between calls to
+reduce load on the database. Currently this is limited to user and talk page
+notification data, interwiki prefix/URL matches, and the UTF-8 conversion
+tables. MediaWiki includes version 1.0.10 of the (GPL'd) PHP memcached client
+by Ryan Gilfether; if memcached is disabled it acts as a dummy object with
+minimal overhead. To use memcached you'll need PHP installed with sockets
+support (this is not in the default configure options). See docs/memcached for
+some more details. Additionally, you can store login session data in memcached
+instead of the local filesystem, which can help to enable load-balancing by
+letting login sessions transparently work on multiple front-end web servers.
+(The primary other issue is with uploads, which requires some care in
+handling.) To enable this, set $wgSessionsInMemcached = true; and set
+$wgCookieDomain appropriately if exposing multiple hostnames. This system is
+new and may be volatile; login sessions will fail dramatically if memcached is
+unavailable when this option is turned on.
+
+=== Online documentation ===
+Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is currently being
+built up on Meta-Wikipedia, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation
+License: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide
+
+=== Mailing list ===
+A MediaWiki-l mailing list has been set up distinct from the Wikipedia
+wikitech-l list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
+
+=== UseModWiki import script ===
+A stripped-down UseModWiki import script is available in the maintenance
+subdirectory. It is incomplete and requires a lot of manual clean-up, but does
+function for the brave and pure of heart.
+
+=== Test suite removed ===
+The unmaintained Java-based test suite has been removed from the tarball
+release. If you really want it you can check it out from CVS.
