[Foundation-l] Report on Testing of MediaWiki 1.10rc2

Sun May 6 03:48:40 UTC 2007

I imported the enwiki-20070402 dumps with MediaWiki 1.10rc2 along with 
all images for this release.  Issues identified:

1.  Greatly improved performance on article rendering.
2.  MIME detection in the default settings still does not detect .png 
files correctly
3.  alternate file -bi method works, but this utility has problems with 
a lot of svg image files.
4.  Rendering of xml+svg files is still broken.  1.9.3 actually had some 
problems rendering svg images, but most of them worked.  1.10rc2
has severe breakage and they do not render at all on Fedora Core 5.

The site with 1.10rc with a fresh database import is located at:

http://test.wikigadugi.org

You are free to visit the site and inspect these issues.   The 
LocalSettings.php file is using these settings (with DB passwords removed):
