MediaWiki 1.13.0 is now available [1].
Selected changes to the API since 1.12.0:
* action=edit has been added. Note that $wgEnableWriteAPI = true; is required for this.
* list=allimages and prop=categoryinfo have been added.
* The blredirect, eiredirect and iuredirect (for list=backlinks, list=embeddedin and
list=imageusage) have finally been implemented. Setting these parameters will list links
through redirects as well.
* Paging (i.e. limit and continue parameters) have been added to prop=links,
prop=templatelinks, prop=langlinks, prop=extlinks, prop=categories and prop=images. These
modules no longer return all results by default, but only the first 10 (like list= modules
do).
* Invalid titles no longer throw errors but are listed as invalid instead.
* Invalid values for multivalue parameters now throw warnings instead of errors
For a full list of changes to the API, see the section "API changes in 1.13" in
the MediaWiki 1.13.0 release notes [2].
