MediaWiki 1.9.0 is the quarterly release snapshot for Winter 2007. While
the code has been running on Wikipedia for some time, installation and
upgrade bits
... [More]
may be less well tested. Bug fix releases may follow in the
coming days or weeks.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a
year from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature
development happen will be made on the development trunk and appear in
the next quarterly release.
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can
obtain it from source control:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
1.9 includes a number of compatibility fixes since 1.8 as well as many
bug fixes and some new features, so all users who can run PHP 5 are
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
There are no changes from 1.9.0rc2 to 1.9.0 final except the version number.

This is the quarterly release snapshot for Fall 2006. While the code

days or weeks.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with

Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature development happen

Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
== Configuration changes ==
* $wgUseETag, to enable/disable sending of HTTP ETag headers
(default: disabled)
* $wgLegalTitleChars now includes ' ' by default for better compatibility
with importing data dumps from Wikipedia
* $wgDefaultUserOptions now includes all default option settings instead
of only overrides.
== Major new features ==
* (bug 7098) Add an option to disable/enable sending of HTTP ETag headers,
as it seems to result in broken behaviour in combination with Squid 2.6
(disabled by default).
* (bug 550) Allow blocks on anonymous users only.
* (bug 6420) Render thumbnails for DJVU images, support multipage DJVU display
on image pages. Added new 'page=' thumbnail option to select a page from a
multipage djvu for thumbnail generation.
* Full Postgres support is now enabled. It requires version 8.1 or better, and
needs to have both plpgsql and tsearch2 already installed.
* (bug 6386) fix grammatical errors in danish naming of talk namespaces.
