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.

Incidentally, Wikimedia web sites all run
1.6-cvs, which is
pre-pre-pre-alpha. When the development team works for you,
you can afford to live dangerously. :-)
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?
