-
-Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
-setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5.3 ==
-
-December 4, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5.3 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
-
-Validation of the user language option was broken by a code change in
-May 2005, opening the possibility of remote code execution as this
-parameter is used in forming a class name dynamically created with
-eval().
-
-The validation has been corrected in this version. All prior 1.5 release
-and prelease versions are affected; 1.4 and earlier and not affected.
-
-Additionally several bugs have been fixed; see the changelog later in
-this file for a complete list.
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5.2 ==
-
-November 2, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5.2 is a bugfix maintenance release.
-
-A change in PHP 4.4.1 and PHP 5.1.0RC broke handling of extension and
-<pre> sections, causing garbage data to be inserted in output and saved
-edits. This version works around the change.
-
-Several other glitches with MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.0.5 were also fixed;
-see the change log below for a complete list.
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5.1 ==
-
-October 26, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5.1 is a bugfix and security maintenance release, and is a
-recommended upgrade for all installations.
-
-This release includes further corrections to the inline CSS style sanitation
-which works around a JavaScript "feature" on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows may be vulnerable to
-XSS injections on prior versions; users of standards-compliant browsers
-are not vulnerable.
-
-Major fixes include:
-* Image pages work again with resizing disabled
-* Works in MySQL 5.0 strict mode
-
-There is experimental support in this release for explicitly declaring
-the UTF-8 charset in the database; this has been tested with MySQL 5.0.15
-but should work on 4.1 as well.
-
-IMPORTANT: Changing this setting on an existing wiki may produce interesting
-data corruption, depending on server configuration. Page contents should,
-usually, be unaffected, but page titles and other items may be. Limitations
-in MySQL's Unicode support mean that characters outside the BMP cannot be used
-in page titles or various other fields when using this mode.
-
-Table definitions are in maintenance/mysql5/tables.sql, and the runtime
-option to send 'SET NAMES utf8' is set by $wgDBmysql5 = true.
-
-(MySQL 3.23.x and 4.0.x do not support character set declarations; on these
-versions MediaWiki simply works with UTF-8 data and MySQL is blissfully
-unaware of it.)
-
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5.0 final ==
-
-October 5, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5.0 is the new stable release branch of MediaWiki, and is
-recommended for all new installations.
-
-Any wikis running a 1.5 beta or release candidate are strongly recommended
-to upgrade to the final release, which includes a number of bug fixes and
-a security fix for CSS bugs in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-
-IMPORTANT: Running a 1.3 or 1.4 wiki and don't want to jump to 1.5 yet?
-Be sure to upgrade to 1.3.17 or 1.4.11, also released today. Versions
-prior to 1.3.16 and 1.4.10 have a serious data corruption bug which is
-triggered by a spambot known to operate in the wild.
-
-
-=== What's new in 1.5? ===
-
-Schema:
- The core table schema has changed significantly. This should make better
- use of the database's cache and disk I/O, and make significantly speed up
- rename and delete operations on pages with very long edit histories.
-
- Unfortunately this does mean upgrading a wiki of size from 1.4 will require
- some downtime for the schema restructuring, but future storage backend
- changes should be able to integrate into the new system more easily.
-
-Permalinks:
- The current revision of a page now has a permanent 'oldid' number assigned
- immediately, and the id numbers are now preserved across deletion/undeletion.
- A permanent reference to the current revision of a page is now just a matter
- of going to the 'history' tab and copying the first link in the list.
-
-Page move log:
- Renames of pages are now recorded in Special:Log and the page history.
- A handy revert link is available from the log for sysops.
-
-Editing diff:
- Ever lost track of what you'd done so far during an edit? A 'Show diff'
- button on the edit page now makes it easy to remember.
-
-Uploads:
- It's now possible to specify the final filename of an upload distinct
- from the original filename on your disk.
-
- An image link for a missing file will now take you straight to the upload page.
-
- More metadata is pre-extracted from uploaded images, which will ease pressure
- on disk or NFS volumes used to store images. EXIF metadata is displayed on
- the image description page if PHP is configured with the necessary module.
-
- If .svg files are added to the upload whitelist, you can choose to render
- them to rasterized .png images for inline display using one of several
- external helper programs. See DefaultSettings.php for SVG options.
-
-User accounts:
- There are some changes to the user permissions system, with assignable
- groups. Note that this does *not* allow you to make pages which are only
- accessible to certain groups.
-
- For details see: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_rights
-
-E-mail:
- User-to-user e-mail can now be restricted to require a mail-back confirmation
- first to reduce potential for abuse with false addresses.
-
- Updates to user talk pages and watchlist entries can optionally send e-mail
- notifications.
-
-External hooks:
- A somewhat experimental interface for hooking in an external editor
- application is included.
-
-And...
- A bunch of stuff we forgot to mention.
-
-
-=== What's gone? ===
-
-Latin-1:
- Wikis must now be encoded in Unicode UTF-8; this has been the default for
- some time, but some languages could optionally be installed in Latin-1 mode.
- This is no longer supported.
-
- You can check if your current wiki is in Latin-1 mode by using your browser's
- "view source"; look for a line like this:
-
- <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
-
- If it says charset=utf-8, you're ready. If it says charset=iso8859-1,
- you may need to convert your data. (English-language wikis avoiding
- any accented characters may be able to get away without conversion.)
-
-MySQL 3.x:
- Some optimization hacks for MySQL 3.x have been removed as part of the schema
- clean-up (specifically, the inverse_timestamp fields).
-
- MediaWiki 1.5 may still run on 3.x, but wikis of non-trivial size should
- very seriously consider upgrading to a more modern release. MySQL 3.x support
- will probably be entirely dropped in the next major release.
-
-Special:Maintenance
- These tools were, ironically enough, not really maintained. This special
- page has been removed; insofar as some of its pieces were useful and haven't
- already been supplanted by other special pages they should be rewritten in
- an efficient and safe manner in the future.
-
-
-=== Caveats ===
-
-Upgrade:
- Wikis in Latin-1 encoding are no longer supported; only Unicode UTF-8.
- A new option $wgLegacyEncoding is provided to allow on-the-fly recoding of
- old page text entries, but other metadata fields (titles, comments etc) need
- to be pre-converted. The standard upgrade process does not yet fully automate
- this, but you can try the alternate partial-upgrader in upgrade1_5.php.
-
- The upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 schema has not been tested for all cases, so
- it's possible you may experience problems in some combinations.
-
-Backups:
- The text entries of deleted pages are no longer removed from the main
- text table on deletion. If you provide public backup dumps of your databases,
- you will probably want to use the new XML-format dump generator, available
- as maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
-
- For more information on how we run our own public data dumps at Wikimedia,
- see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps
-
-PostgreSQL:
- The table definitions for PostgreSQL install are out of date. PostgreSQL
- support may return in later releases, pending appropriate patches.
-
-MySQL 4.1+:
- Some users may encounter installation problems with MySQL 4.1 or higher
- due to strange charset encoding / collation configurations. Try setting
- to 'latin1' or 'utf8' if you encounter problems.
-
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 4 ==
-
-August 29, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5rc4 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
-It fixes compatibility with PHP 5.1, and corrects two cross-site scripting
-security bugs:
-
-* <math> tags were handled incorrectly when TeX rendering support is off,
- as in the default configuration.
-* Extension or <nowiki> sections in Wiki table syntax could bypass HTML
- style attribute restrictions for cross-site scripting attacks against
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
-
-Wikis where the optional math support has been *enabled* are not vulnerable
-to the first, but are vulnerable to the second.
-
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 3 ==
-
-August 24, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5rc3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
-It fixes several major problems in 1.5rc2:
-
-* Fixed a cross-site scripting injection in the search form
- (broken since 1.5beta1)
-
-* Fixed upgrades from 1.4 database schema
- (broken since 1.5rc2)
-
-1.3 and 1.4 releases are not vulnerable to the XSS bug, but anyone
-running an earlier 1.5 beta or release candidate should upgrade
-immediately.
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 2 ==
-
-August 23, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5rc2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
-Numerous bug fixes since last beta, plus a security fix; see change
-log below for full details.
-
-A flaw in the interaction between extensions and HTML attribute
-sanitization was discovered which could allow unauthorized use
-of offsite resources in style sheets, and possible exploitation
-of a JavaScript injection feature on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-
-This version expands the returned text and properly checks it
-before output.
-
-A 1.5rc1 release was mistakenly made from the incorrect source code
-branch; 1.5rc2 is identical to the actual 1.5rc1 in revision control
-except for version number.
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 4 ==
-
-July 30, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 beta 4 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
-A number of bugs have been fixed since beta 3; see the full changelist below.
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 ==
-
-July 7, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release
-series, with a security update over beta 2.
-
-Incorrect escaping of a parameter in the page move template could
-be used to inject JavaScript code by getting a victim to visit a
-maliciously constructed URL. Users of vulnerable releases are
-recommended to upgrade to this release.
-
-Vulnerable versions:
-* 1.5 preview series: n <= 1.5beta2 vulnerable, fixed in 1.5beta3
-* 1.4 stable series: 1.4beta6 <= n <= 1.4.5 vulnerable, fixed in 1.4.6
-* 1.3 legacy series: not vulnerable
-
-This release also includes several bug fixes and localization updates.
-See the changelog at the end of this file for a detailed list.
-
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 ==
-
-July 5, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
-While most exciting new bugs should have been ironed out at this point,
-third-party wiki operators should probably not run this beta release
-on a public site without closely following additional development.
-
-Anyone who _has_ been running beta 1 is very very strongly advised to
-upgrade to beta 2, as it fixes many bugs from the previous beta including
-a couple of HTML and SQL injections.
-
-This release should be followed by one or two release candidates and
-a 1.5.0 final within the next few weeks.
-
-Beta upgraders, note there are some minor database changes. For upgrades
-from 1.4, see the file UPGRADE for details on significant database and
-configuration file changes.
-
-Beta 2 includes a preliminary command-line XML wiki dump importer tool,
-maintenance/importDump.php, paired with maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
-These use the same format as Special:Export and Special:Import, able
-to package a wiki's entire page set independent of the backend database
-and compression format.
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 ==
-
-June 26, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 is a preview release, pretty much feature complete,
-of the new 1.5 release series. There are several known and likely a number
-of unknown bugs; it is not recommended to use this release in a production
-environment but would be recommended for testing in mind of an upcoming
-deployment.
-
-A number of significant changes have been made since the alpha releases,
-including database changes and a reworking of the user permissions settings.
-See the file UPGRADE for details of upgrading and changing your prior
-configuration settings for the new system.
-
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 ==
-
-June 3, 2005
-
-MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 includes a lot of bug fixes, feature merges,
-and a security update.
-
-Incorrect handling of page template inclusions made it possible to
-inject JavaScript code into HTML attributes, which could lead to
-cross-site scripting attacks on a publicly editable wiki.
-
-Vulnerable releases and fix:
-* 1.5 prerelease: fixed in 1.5alpha2
-* 1.4 stable series: fixed in 1.4.5
-* 1.3 legacy series: fixed in 1.3.13
-* 1.2 series no longer supported; upgrade to 1.4.5 strongly recommended
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 1 ==
-
-May 3, 2005
-
-This is a testing preview release, being put out mainly to aid testers in
-finding installation bugs and other major problems. It is strongly recommended
-NOT to run a live production web site on this alpha release.
-
-** WARNING: USE OF THIS ALPHA RELEASE MAY INFEST YOUR HOUSE WITH **
-** TERMITES, ROT YOUR TEETH, GROW HAIR ON YOUR PALMS, AND PASTE **
-** INNUENDO INTO YOUR C.V. RIGHT BEFORE A JOB INTERVIEW! **
