MediaWiki 1.13.0 released


MediaWiki 1.13.0 is now available.

MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model
with quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is

Wikipedia. MediaWiki 1.13.0 is our latest snapshot release, based on
the development code from three weeks ago, with several bugfixes applied.

Selected changes since MediaWiki 1.12.0:

* 59,000 new localised text messages have been added, taking the total
to 266,000, spread across 281 languages
* New special pages: FileDuplicateSearch, ListGroupRights
* Special:UserRights and Special:SpecialPages have been redesigned
* More options on Special:Recentchangeslinked and Special:WhatLinksHere
* New parser functions: PAGESINCATEGORY, PAGESIZE
* Can hide categories with __HIDDENCAT__
* Friendlier behaviour for users who click a red link but can't edit
* Image redirects are now enabled by default
* Drop-down AJAX search suggestions ($wgEnableMWSuggest)
* Search results show image thumbnails
* The search box in the MonoBook sidebar can be moved up by editing
[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]
