Thanks very much for the info. Makes sense. Great software by the way.

MediaWiki 1.5.1 is the latest release version. 1.6-cvs should
not be used for any production work, ever. We cannot support
users with problems arising from using that version and it is
not certified to be safe or stable.

I'm getting ready to launch a website based upon the MediaWiki
software (~200K articles), and I'm wondering what mediawiki
version I
should run the website on. We're currently
using 1.6-cvs in
development (we're making some modifications to the
software - which
of course we'll make publically available
when we launch in case
anyone else wants them). I've been thinking that we should
revert back to
1.5.1 for the sake of stability.
After seeing the above message though, I'm no
longer so
sure. Any thoughts?
Are regression tests run as part of checking code
into CVS?
Or when a
release like 1.5.1 gets packaged up?
