MediaWiki 1.9.0rc1 available for testing


I've made a snapshot release candidate from 1.9 branch; this is a chance
to get a few more possible installation/upgrade regressions tested and
fixed.

A more widely announced 'final' 1.9.0 release will come after another
day or two.

MediaWiki 1.6.9, 1.7.2, 1.8.3, 1.9.0rc2 released (security)


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:

* 1.9: fixed in 1.9.0rc2
* 1.8: fixed in 1.8.3
* 1.7: fixed in 1.7.2
* 1.6: fixed in 1.6.9

MediaWiki 1.9.0 released


January 10, 2007

MediaWiki 1.9.0 is the quarterly release snapshot for Winter 2007. 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:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN

1.9 includes a number of compatibility fixes since 1.8 as well as many
bug fixes and some new features, so all users who can run PHP 5 are
strongly encouraged to upgrade.

There are no changes from 1.9.0rc2 to 1.9.0 final except the version number.

MediaWiki 1.9.1 released


January 24, 2007

This is a bug-fix update that fixes some installation and upgrade issues
with the original 1.9.0 release.

* (bug 3000) Fall back to SCRIPT_NAME plus QUERY_STRING when REQUEST_URI
is not available, as on IIS with PHP-CGI
* Security fix for DjVu images. (Only affects servers where .djvu file
uploads are enabled and $wgDjvuToXML is set.)
* (bug 8638) Fix update from 1.4 and earlier
* (bug 8641) Fix order of updates to ipblocks table for updates from <=1.7
* (bug 8673) Minor fix for web service API content-type header
* Fix API revision list on PHP 5.2.1; bad reference assignment
* Fixed up the AjaxSearch
* Exclude settings files when generating documentation. That could
expose the database user and password to remote users.
* ar: fix the 'create a new page' on search page when no exact match found
* Correct tooltip accesskey hint for Opera on the Macintosh (uses
Shift-Esc-, not Ctrl-).
* (bug 8719) Firefox release notes lie! Fix tooltips for Firefox 2 on
x11; accesskeys default settings appear to be same as Windows.
