MediaWiki 1.7.1 is a security and bugfix maintenance release of the
Summer 2006 snapshot:

A potential HTML/JavaScript-injection vulnerability in a debugging script
has been ... [More] fixed. Only versions and configurations of PHP vulnerable to the
$GLOBALS overwrite vulnerability are affected.

As a workaround for existing installs, profileinfo.php may simply be deleted
if it's not being used.

* Fix for 'emailconfirmed' implicit user group
* Fix for upgrades on some versions of MySQL 4.0.x
* Fixed potential XSS in profileinfo.php
* Installer now shows clear error message about old PHP versions
rather than a confusing parse error

Note that MediaWiki 1.7 and above require PHP 5. If you are stuck with PHP 4,
please install MediaWiki 1.6.8.
