+
+September 10, 2007
+
+This is a security fix update to the Fall 2006 quarterly release snapshot. A
+possible HTML/XSS injection vector in the API pretty-printing mode has been
+found and fixed.
+
+The vulnerability may be worked around in an unfixed version by simply
+disabling the API interface if it is not in use, by adding this to
+LocalSettings.php:
+
+:[[Manual:$wgEnableAPI|$wgEnableAPI]] = false;
+
+(This is the default setting in 1.8.x.)
+
+Not vulnerable versions:
+* 1.11 >= 1.11.0
+* 1.10 >= 1.10.2
+* 1.9 >= 1.9.4
+* 1.8 >= 1.8.5
+
+Vulnerable versions:
+* 1.11 <= 1.11.0rc1
+* 1.10 <= 1.10.1
+* 1.9 <= 1.9.3
+* 1.8 <= 1.8.4 (if $wgEnableAPI has been switched on)
+
+MediaWiki 1.7 and below are not affected as they do not include the faulty
+function, however the BotQuery extension is similarly vulnerable unless updated
+to the latest SVN version.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.8.4 ==
+
+February 20, 2007
+
+This is a security and bug-fix update to the Fall 2006 quarterly release.
+
+An XSS injection vulnerability based on Microsoft Internet Explorer's UTF-7
+charset autodetection was located in the AJAX support module, affecting MSIE
+users on MediaWiki 1.6.x and up when the optional setting
+[[Manual:$wgUseAjax|$wgUseAjax]] is enabled.
+
+If you are using an extension based on the optional Ajax module, either disable
+it or upgrade to a version containing the fix:
+* 1.9: fixed in 1.9.3
+* 1.8: fixed in 1.8.4
+* 1.7: fixed in 1.7.3
+* 1.6: fixed in 1.6.10
+
+There is no known danger in the default configuration, with $wgUseAjax off.
+
+* (bug [[bugzilla:8819|8819]]) Fix full path disclosure with skins dependencies
+* Add 'charset' to Content-Type headers on various HTTP error responses to
+forestall additional UTF-7-autodetect XSS issues. PHP sends only 'text/html' by
+default when the script didn't specify more details, which some inconsiderate
+browsers consider a license to autodetect the deadly, hard-to-escape UTF-7.
+This fixes an issue with the Ajax interface error message on MSIE when
+[[Manual:$wgUseAjax|$wgUseAjax]] is enabled (not default configuration); this
+UTF-7 variant on a previously fixed attack vector was discovered by Moshe BA
+from BugSec: http://www.bugsec.com/articles.php?Security=24
+* Trackback responses now specify XML content type
+
+== MediaWiki 1.8.3 ==
+
+January 9, 2007
+
+MediaWiki 1.8.3 fixes several issues in the Fall 2006 snapshot release:
+
+* ([[mediazilla:7831|7831]]) Regression in AutoAuthenticate hook
+* Run PHP install version checks on update.php so command-line updaters see new
+version requirements
+* Do a check for the PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug, since this is much more disruptive
+as of MW 1.8 than it used to be. Install or upgrade now aborts with a warning
+and a request to upgrade.
+* XSS fix in AJAX module
+
+An XSS injection vulnerability was located in the AJAX support module,
+affecting MediaWiki 1.6.x and up when the optional setting $wgUseAjax is
+enabled.
+
+There is no danger in the default configuration, with $wgUseAjax off.
+
+If you are using an extension based on the optional AJAX module, either disable
+it or upgrade to a version containing the fix:
+
+== MediaWiki 1.8.2 ==
+
+October 13, 2006
+
+MediaWiki 1.8.2 fixes several issues in the Fall 2006 snapshot release:
+
+* ([[mediazilla:7565|7565]]) Fixed typos in German localisation
+* ([[mediazilla:7562|7562]]) Fix non-ASCII namespaces on Windows/XAMPP servers
+
+== MediaWiki 1.8.1 ==
+
+October 11, 2006
+
+MediaWiki 1.8.1 fixes several issues in the Fall 2006 snapshot release:
+
+* Fix PHP notice and estimates for dumpBackup.php and friends
+* Improved register_globals paranoia checks
+* ([[mediazilla:7545|7545]]) Fix PHP version check on install
+* Experimental web API disabled by default
+* Disable PHP exception backtrace printing unless $wgShowExceptionDetails is
+set. Backtraces may contain sensitive information in function call parameters.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.8.0 ==
+
+October 10, 2006
+
+This is the quarterly release snapshot for Fall 2006. While the code has been
+running on Wikipedia for some time, installation and upgrade bits may be less
+well tested. Bug fix releases may follow in the coming days or weeks.
+
+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 development happen
+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: [[Download from SVN]]
+
+== Configuration changes ==
+* $wgUseETag, to enable/disable sending of HTTP ETag headers (default: disabled)
+* $wgLegalTitleChars now includes '+' by default for better compatibility with
+importing data dumps from Wikipedia
+* $wgDefaultUserOptions now includes all default option settings instead of
+only overrides.
+
+== Major new features ==
+* ([[mediazilla:7098|7098]]) Add an option to disable/enable sending of HTTP
+ETag headers, as it seems to result in broken behaviour in combination with
+Squid 2.6 (disabled by default).
+* ([[mediazilla:550|550]]) Allow blocks on anonymous users only.
+* ([[mediazilla:6420|6420]]) Render thumbnails for DJVU images, support
+multipage DJVU display on image pages. Added new 'page=' thumbnail option to
+select a page from a multipage djvu for thumbnail generation.
+* Full Postgres support is now enabled. It requires version 8.1 or better, and
+needs to have both plpgsql and tsearch2 already installed.
+* ([[mediazilla:6386|6386]]) fix grammatical errors in danish naming of talk
+namespaces.

+
+== Compatibility ==
+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.
+
+== Upgrading ==
+Some minor database changes have been made since 1.7:
+* new fields and indexes on ipblocks
+* index change on recentchanges
+
+Several changes from 1.5 and 1.6 do require updates to be run on upgrade. To
+ensure that these tables are filled with data, run refreshLinks.php after the
+upgrade.
+
+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!
+
+=== Caveats ===
+Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not produce
+100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to set $wgMimeType
+= "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem cases, but this is not
+recommended on live sites. (This must be set for MathML to display properly in
+Mozilla.)
