+
+== MediaWiki 1.16 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.16 ===
+
+* (bug 18222) $wgMinimalPasswordLength default is now 1
+* $wgSessionHandler can be used to configure session.save_handler
+* $wgLocalFileRepo/$wgForeignFileRepos now have a 'fileMode' parameter to
+ be used when uploading/moving files
+* (bug 18761) $wgHiddenPrefs is a new array for specifying preferences not
+ to be shown to users
+* $wgAllowRealName and $wgAllowUserSkin were deprecated in favor of
+ $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'realname', but the former are still retained
+ for backwards-compatibility
+* (bug 9257) $wgRCMaxAge now defaults to three months
+* $wgDevelopmentWarnings can be set to true to show warnings about deprecated
+ functions and other potential errors when developing.
+* Subpages are now enabled in the MediaWiki namespace by default. This is
+ mainly a cosmetic change, and does not in any way affect the MessageCache,
+ which was already effectively treating the namespace as if it had subpages.
+* Oracle: maintenance/ora/user.sql script for creating DB user on oracle with
+ appropriate privileges. Creating this user with web-install page requires
+ oci8.privileged_connect set to On in php.ini.
+* Removed UserrightsChangeableGroups hook introduced in 1.14
+* Added $wgCacheDirectory, to replace $wgFileCacheDirectory,
+ $wgLocalMessageCache, and any other local caches which need a place to put
+ files.
+* $wgFileCacheDirectory is no longer set to anything by default, and so either
+ needs to be set explicitly, or $wgCacheDirectory needs to be set instead.
+* $wgLocalMessageCache has been removed. Instead, set $wgUseLocalMessageCache
+ to true
+* Removed $wgEnableSerializedMessages and $wgCheckSerialized. Similar
+ functionality is now available via $wgLocalisationCacheConf.
+* $wgMessageCache->addMessages() is deprecated. Messages added via this
+ interface will not appear in Special:AllMessages.
+* $wgRegisterInternalExternals can be used to record external links pointing
+ to same server
+* (bug 19907) $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains and $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomainExceptions added
+ to control which external domains may access the API via cross-site AJAX.
+* $wgMaintenanceScripts for extensions to add their scripts to the default list
+* $wgMemoryLimit has been added, default value '50M'
+* $wgExtraRandompageSQL is deprecated, the SpecialRandomGetRandomTitle hook
+ should be used instead
+* (bug 20489) $wgIllegalFileChars added to override the default list of illegal
+ characters in file names.
+* (bug 19646) $wgImgAuthDetails added to display reason access to uploaded file
+ was denied to users(img_auth only)
+* (bug 19646) $wgImgAuthPublicTest added to test to see if img_auth set up
+ correctly (img_auth only)
+* $wgUploadMaintenance added to disable file deletions and restorations during
+ maintenance
+* $wgCapitalLinkOverrides added to configure per-namespace capitalization
+* (bug 21172) $wgSorbsUrl can now be an array with multiple DNSBL and renamed
+ to $wgDnsBlacklistUrls (backward compatibility kept)
+* $wgEnableHtmlDiff has been removed
+* (bug 3340) $wgBlockCIDRLimit added (default: 16) to configure the low end of
+ CIDR ranges for blocking
+* $wgUseInstantCommons added for quick and easy enabling of Commons as a remote
+ file repository
+* $wgDBAhandler added to choose a DBA handler when using CACHE_DBA
+* $wgPreviewOnOpenNamespaces for extensions that create namespaces that behave
+ similarly to the category namespace.
+* $wgEnableSorbs renamed to $wgDnsBlacklistUrls ($wgEnableSorbs kept for
+ backward compatibility)
+* $wgUploadNavigationUrl now also affects images inline images that do not
+ exist. In that case the URL will get (?|&)wpDestFile=<filename> appended to
+ it as appropriate.
+* If $wgLocaltimezone is null, use the server's timezone as the default for
+ signatures. This was always the behaviour documented in DefaultSettings.php
+ but has not been the actual behaviour for some time: instead, UTC was used
+ by default.
+* Added $wgExtensionAssetsPath, to decouple assets serving from $wgScriptPath.
+ If not specified it will default to $wgScriptPath/extensions
+* Added $wgCountTotalSearchHits to make search UI display total number of hits
+ with some search engines.
+* Added $wgAdvertisedFeedTypes to decide what feed types (RSS, Atom, both, or
+ neither) MediaWiki advertises. Default is array( 'atom' ), so RSS is no
+ longer advertised by default (but it still works).
+* Added $wgMemCachedTimeout, controls how long to wait for data from the
+ memcached servers.
+* New configuration variables $wgDebugTimestamps and $wgDebugPrintHttpHeaders
+ for controlling debug output.
+* New $wgBlockDisablesLogin when set to true disallows blocked users from
+ logging in.

+ have these rights stripped from them.
+* Added a PHP port of CDB (constant database), for improved local caching when
+ the DBA extension is not available.
+* Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around
+ fast fetches of individual messages, minimising memory overhead and startup
+ time in the typical case. The database backend will be used by default, but
+ set $wgCacheDirectory to get a faster CDB-based implementation.
+* Expanded the number of variables which can be set in the extension messages
+ files.
+* Added a feature to allow per-article process pool size control for the parsing
+ task, to limit resource usage when the cache for a heavily-viewed article is
+ invalidated. Requires an external daemon.
+* (bug 19576) Moved the id attribues from the anchors accompanying section

+ use
+* The default output format is now HTML 5 instead of XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
+ This can be disabled by setting $wgHtml5 = false;. Specific features enabled

+changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
+

+
+== MediaWiki 1.14 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.14 ===
+
+* $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl is an array of namespaces to be exempt from
+ the effect of the new __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words. (Default: null, ex-
+ empt all content namespaces.)
+* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4
+ has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
+* (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either
+ $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent
+ Changes feed that appears on all pages.
+* $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for
+ SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from
+ $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki.
+* $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like
+ $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified
+ group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves.
+ Backwards compatibility is maintained.
+* $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic
+ word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This
+ is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title.
+* $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions.
+* $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead.
+* Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people
+ with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection
+ is not required.
+* $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings.
+* Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image
+ whitelist on or off.
+* Added $wgRenderHashAppend to append some string to the parser cache and the
+ sitenotice cache keys.
+* $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold is now a positive integer by default,
+* (bug 16006) $wgEnableWriteAPI is now true by default. Authorized can perform
+ write actions using the API.
+* Added $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix which adds an interwiki prefix
+ ($wgLocalInterwiki) onto the page names in the UDP feed.
+* Added $wgAllowUserSkin to let the wiki's owner disable user selectable skins
+ on the wiki. If it's set to false, then the skin used will *always* be
+ $wgDefaultSkin.
+* Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based
+ on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username)
+* Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in
+ ForeignAPIRepo)
+* (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File.
+ For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may
+ need to be updated.
+* The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and
+ NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility,
+ and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older.
+* MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by
+ using $wgUsePrivateIPs.
+* The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in
+ Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions
+ to customize the watchlist database query.
+
+=== Migrated extensions ===
+The following extensions are migrated into MediaWiki 1.14:
+
+* Special:DeletedContributions to show deleted user contributions (was
+ extension DeletedContributions)
+* Special:Log/newusers recording new users (was extension Newuserlog)
+* Special:LinkSearch to search for external links (was extension LinkSearch)
+* RenderHash
+* NoMoveUserPages
+* UniversalEditButton
+
+=== New features in 1.14 ===
+
+* New URL syntaxes for Special:ListUsers - 'Special:ListUsers/USER' and
+ 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP/USER', in addition to the older syntax
+ 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP' where GROUP is a valid group name.
+* Configurable per-namespace and per-page notices for the edit form,
+ respectively MediaWiki:Editnotice-# where # is the namespace number, and
+ MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-PAGENAME where # is the page's namespace number and
+ PAGENAME is the page name minus the namespace prefix.
+* (bug 8068) New __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ magic words allow user control of
+ search engine indexing on a per-article basis.
+* Handheld stylesheet options
+* Added 'DoEditSectionLink' hook as a cleaner unified version of the old
+ 'EditSectionLink' and 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hooks. Note that the
+ 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is
+ run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work
+ if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain).
+* Signature (~~~~) "cleaning", i.e. template removal, can be disabled with
+ $wgCleanSignatures=false
+* Extensions can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook to modify the content of the
+ sidebar and add custom portlets to it
+* Added 'MakeGlobalVariablesScript' hook for extensions to be able to add vari-
+ ables into into the output of Skin::makeVariablesScript

+ the wiki
+* Added 'noconvertlink' toggle that can be set per user preferences, also
+ added 'convertlink=no|yes' on GET requests whether have the link titles
+ being converted or not
+* (bug 14921) Special:Contributions/: add user name to <title>
+ Patch by Emufarmers
+* Unescape more "safe" characters when producing URLs, for added prettiness
+* Introduced a new hook 'SkinAfterContent' that allows extensions to add text
+ after the page content and article metadata. Updated all skins and skin
+ templates to work with that hook.
+* (bug 14929) removeUnusedAccounts.php now supports 'ignore-touched' and
+ 'ignore-groups'. Patch by Louperivois
+* (bug 15127) Work around minor display glitch in Opera.
+* By default, reject file uploads that look like ZIP files, to avoid the
+ so-called GIFAR vulnerability.
+* (bug 15141) Give ability to only list protected pages with the cascading
+ option enabled on Special:ProtectedPages
+* (bug 15157) Special:Watchlist has the same options as Special:Watchlist:

+* Added hook 'UserrightsChangeableGroups' to allow modification of what
+ groups may be added or removed via the Special:UserRights interface.

+* Show thumbnails in the file history list, patch by User:Agbad
+* Added support of piped wikilinks using double-width brackets

+* An XSS vulnerability affecting all MediaWiki installations between 1.13.0 and
+ 1.13.2. [CVE-2008-5249]
+* A local script injection vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer clients for
+ all MediaWiki installations with uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250]
+* A local script injection vulnerability affecting clients with SVG scripting
+ capability (such as Firefox 1.5+), for all MediaWiki installations with SVG
+ uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250]
+* A CSRF vulnerability affecting the Special:Import feature, for all MediaWiki
+ installations since the feature was introduced in 1.3.0. [CVE-2008-5252]
+
+XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to steal an
+authorised user's login session, and to act as that user on the wiki. The
+authorised user must visit a web page controlled by the attacker in order to
+activate the attack. Intranet wikis are vulnerable if the attacker can
+determine the intranet URL.
+
+Local script injection vulnerabilities are like XSS vulnerabilities, except
+that the attacker must have an account on the local wiki, and there is no
+external site involved. The attacker uploads a script to the wiki, which another
+user is tricked into executing, with the effect that the attacker is able to act
+as the privileged user.
+
+CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to act as an authorised user on the wiki,
+but unlike an XSS vulnerability, the attacker can only act as the user in a
+specific and restricted way. The present CSRF vulnerability allows pages to be
+edited, with forged revision histories. Like an XSS vulnerability, the
+authorised user must visit the malicious web page to activate the attack.
+
+These four vulnerabilities are all fixed in this release.
+
+David Remahl also reminded us of some security-related configuration issues:
+
+* By default, MediaWiki stores a backup of deleted images in the images/deleted
+ directory. If you do not want these images to be publically accessible, make
+ sure this directory is not accessible from the web. MediaWiki takes some steps
+ to avoid leaking these images, but these measures are not perfect.
+* Set display_errors=off in your php.ini to avoid path disclosure via PHP fatal
+ errors. This is the default on most shared web hosts.
+* Enabling MediaWiki's debugging features, such as $wgShowExceptionDetails, may
+ lead to path disclosure.
+
+Other changes in this release:
+
+* Avoid fatal error in profileinfo.php when not configured.
+* Add a .htaccess to deleted images directory for additional protection against
+ exposure of deleted files with known SHA-1 hashes on default installations.
+* Avoid streaming uploaded files to the user via index.php. This allows
+ security-conscious users to serve uploaded files via a different domain, and
+ thus client-side scripts executed from that domain cannot access the login
+ cookies. Affects Special:Undelete, img_auth.php and thumb.php.
+* When streaming files via index.php, use the MIME type detected from the
+ file extension, not from the data. This reduces the XSS attack surface.
+* Blacklist redirects via Special:Filepath. Such redirects exacerbate any
+ XSS vulnerabilities involving uploads of files containing scripts.
+* Internationalisation updates.
+
+== Changes since 1.13.1 ==
+
+* Security: Work around misconfiguration by requiring strict comparisons for

+* Added magic word __STATICREDIRECT__ to suppress the redirect fixer
+* (bug 15035) Revert English linkTrail to /^([a-z]+)(.*)$/sD, as it was before

+ both bundled with PHP and packaged with distros such as RHEL.

+
+== MediaWiki 1.12 ==
+
+This is the Winter 2007 quarterly release.
+
+MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
+quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
+"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
+
+Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
+from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
+will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
+
+Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
+it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.12 ===
+* Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the
+ markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used.
+ This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group.
+* MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration
+ variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e.
+ to not check and assume they are always up to date)
+* The rollback permission can now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism.
+* New configuration variable $wgExtraLanguageNames
+* Behaviour of $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups changed. New behaviour:
+* * Granting the userrights privilege allows arbitrary changing of rights.
+* * Without the userrights privilege, a user will be able to add and/or
+ remove the groups specified in $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups for
+ any groups they are in.
+* New permission userrights-interwiki for changing user rights on foreign wikis.
+* $wgImplicitGroups for groups that are hidden from Special:Listusers, etc.
+* $wgAutopromote: automatically promote users who match specified criteria
+* $wgGroupsAddToSelf, $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf: allow users to add or remove
+ themselves from specified groups via Special:Userrights.
+* When $wgUseTidy has been enabled, PHP's Tidy module is now used if it is
+ present, in preference to an external Tidy executable which may or may not
+ be present. To force use of external Tidy even when the PHP module is
+ available, set $wgTidyInternal to false.
+
+
+=== New features in 1.12 ===
+* (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload
+* Add {{filepath:}} parser function to get full path to an uploaded file,
+ complementing {{fullurl:}} for pages.

+* isValidEmailAddr hook added to User method of that name, to allow, e.g., re-
+ stricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain
+* Removed "Clear" link in watchlist editor tools, as people were afraid to
+ click it. Existing clear links will fall back to the raw editor, which is
+ very easy to clear your watchlist with.
+* (bug 1405) Add wgUseNPPatrol option to control patroling for new articles
+ on Special:Newpages
+* LogLine hook added to allow formatting custom entries in Special:Log.

+ fails
+ because it is part of a blocked range.
+* (bug 3973) Use a separate message for the email content when an account is
+ created by another user

+ cleanly if database connections fail unpleasantly.

+ makes no sense, and there should be no "Return to [[Page]]" link.

+* (bug 9939) Special:Search now sets focus to search input box when no existing
+ search is active
+* For Special:Userrights, use GET instead of POST to search for users.
+* Allow subpage syntax for Special:Userrights, i.e., Special:Userrights/Name.

+* (bug 11897) Add alias [[Special:CreateAccount]] & [[Special:Userlogin/signup]]
+ for Special:Userlogin?type=signup
+* (bug 12214) Add a predefined list of delete reasons to the file deletion form
+* Merged backends for OpenSearch suggestions and AJAX search.

+ and the backend part can be overridden by the PrefixSearchBackend hook.
+* (bug 10365) Localization of Special:Version
+* When installing using Postgres, the Pl/Pgsql language is now checked for

+
+== Parser changes in 1.12 ==
+
+For help with migration to the MediaWiki 1.12 parser, please visit:
+
+http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_to_the_new_preprocessor
+
+The parser pass order has changed from
+
+ * Extension tag strip and render
+ * HTML normalisation and security
+ * Template expansion
+ * Main section...
+
+to
+
+ * Template and extension tag parse to intermediate representation
+ * Template expansion and extension rendering
+ * HTML normalisation and security
+ * Main section...
+
+The main effect of this for the user is that the rules for uncovered syntax
+have changed.
+
+Uncovered main-pass syntax, such as HTML tags, are now generally valid, whereas
+previously in some cases they were escaped. For example, you could have "<ta" in
+one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a
+valid <table> tag. Previously the result would have been "<table>".
+
+Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you
+have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be
+converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This
+was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in
+the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion
+will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template
+expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security
+pass.
+
+Bug 5678 has been fixed. This has a number of user-visible effects related to
+the removal of this double-parse. Please see the wiki page for examples.
+
+Message transformation mode has been removed, and replaced with "preprocess"
+mode. This means that some MediaWiki namespace messages may need to be updated,
+especially ones which took advantage of the terribly counterintuitive behaviour
+of the former message mode.
+
+The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section
+edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a
+whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by
+template expansion will still be rendered into a heading tag, and will get an
+entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link. HTML-style headings
+will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext headings present in the
+template source text will get a template section edit link. This is a major
+break from previous behaviour, but I believe the effects are almost entirely
+beneficial.
+
+The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass
+preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed
+#switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a
+significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from
+Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement
+by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration.
+
+The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient
+way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance
+anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default
+limit.
+
+The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so
+extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes.
+
+The new preprocessor syntax has been documented in Backus-Naur Form at:
+
+http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF
+
+The ExpandTemplates extension now has the ability to generate an XML parse
+tree from wikitext source. This parse tree corresponds closely to the grammar
+documented on that page.

+== MediaWiki 1.11 ==
+
+This is the Summer 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
+
+MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
+quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
+"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
+
+Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
+from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
+will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
+
+Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
+it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
+
+== Configuration changes since 1.10 ==

+ used
+* $wgAddGroups, $wgRemoveGroups - Finer control over who can assign which
+ usergroups
+* $wgEnotifImpersonal, $wgEnotifUseJobQ - Bulk mail options for large sites
+* $wgShowHostnames - Expose server host names through the API and HTML comments
+* $wgSaveDeletedFiles has been removed, the feature is now enabled unconditionally

+* Introducing new image keyword 'upright' and corresponding variable
+ $wgThumbUpright. This allows better proportional view of upright images
+ related to landscape images on a page without nailing the width of upright
+ images to a fix value which makes views for anon unproportional and user
+ preferences useless
+* (bug 6072) Introducing 'border' keyword to the [[Image:]] syntax
+* Introducing 'frameless' keyword to [[Image:]] syntax which respects the
+ user preferences for image width like 'thumb' but without a frame.

+* (bug 8890) Enable wiki text for "license" message
+* Throw a showstopper exception when a hook function fails to return a value.
+ Forgetting to give a 'true' return value is a very common error which tends
+ to cause hard-to-track-down interactions between extensions.
+* Use $wgJobClasses to determine the correct Job to instantiate for a particular

+== MediaWiki 1.10 ==
+
+This is the Spring 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
+
+MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
+quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
+"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
+
+Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
+from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
+will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
+
+Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
+it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
+
+== Configuration changes ==
+
+* A new switch $wgCommandLineDarkBg used by maintenance scripts (parserTests.php).
+ It lets you specify if your terminal use a dark background, the colorized
+ output will be made lighter making things easier to read.
+* The minimum permissions needed to edit a page in each namespace can now be
+ customized via the $wgNamespaceProtection array. By default, editing pages in
+ the MediaWiki namespace requires "editinterface" permission, as before.
+* Allow restriction of autoconfirmed permission by edit count. New global setting
+ $wgAutoConfirmCount (defaulting to zero, naturally).
+* Added rate limiter for Special:Emailuser
+* Private logs can now be created using $wgLogRestrictions
+* (Bug 8590) limited HTML is now always enabled ($wgUserHtml = true).

+
+== Compatibility ==
+
+MediaWiki 1.10 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
+
+PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
+http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
+Upgrade affected systems to PHP 5.1 or higher.
+
+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.
+
+
+== Upgrading ==
+
+1.10 has several database changes since 1.9, and will not work without schema
+updates.
+
+If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
+new database fields are filled with data.
+
+If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
+changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
+break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
+
+See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
