MediaWiki 1.4.2 and 1.3.12 released


MediaWiki 1.4.2 is a security and bug fix release for the 1.4 stable
release series.

A cross-site scripting injection vulnerability was discovered, which
affects only MSIE clients and is only open if MediaWiki has been
manually configured to run output through HTML Tidy ($wgUseTidy).

Several other bugs are fixed in this release.

All new installations are highly recommended to use 1.4.2 instead of
1.3.x; existing 1.3.x users should consider upgrading for bug fixes and
new features. A 1.3.12 maintenance release is available with the Tidy
fix; the relevant change is in includes/Parser.php.

=== Changes from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 ===

* Fix math options in Finnish localization
* Use in-process Tidy extension if available when $wgUseTidy is on
* (bug 1933) Fix PATH_INFO usage under IIS with PHP ISAPI module
