[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.2.0rc2 second release candidate released

Wed Mar 3 12:13:10 UTC 2004

Since the first release candidate, an in-place web-based install script 
has been added. While still a bit experimental and incomplete, it makes 
it much easier to get a new wiki started, particularly where shell 
access isn't available for the old command-line installer.

*NOTE:* The web install script doesn't yet support updating old 
databases or other maintenance procedures. It can create a new 
database, or write a basic LocalSettings.php to access an existing 
(up-to-date) database without altering it. The new installer is still 
experimental and may fail mysteriously; we'd love to hear from you, if 
you do or don't get it to work.

See 'INSTALL' in the archive for some notes on the new installer.

MediaWiki 1.2.0 includes improved inline image and thumbnailing 
support, smoother account management, and a number of interface tweaks 
as well as numerous bug fixes and backend features (squid cache 
purging, authenticated SMTP, tighter upload security, PHP5 
compatibility). Also fixes an incompatibility with MySQL 3.2.x in the 
default install that cropped up in 1.1.
