==[[Releases]]==

===Stable release series 1.4.x===

<span style="color:red;">1.4.7 released 2005-07-16</span>: Stable series bugfix release

[http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.4.7.tar.gz?download mediawiki-1.4.7.tar.gz]

:MediaWiki 1.4.7 is a bug fix release. Those affected by the following problems in 1.4.6 should upgrade:

:* Watchlist breakage on MySQL 3.23.x and with table prefix enabled
:* Possible breakage in watchlist, some image resizing modes on PHP 4.1.2

:<span style="color:red;">1.4.6 included a fix for a cross-site scripting vulnerability, so anyone running older 1.4 releases is very strongly encouraged to upgrade as well.</span>

:Note to upgraders: current versions of MediaWiki are known to produce a large number of notice-level warnings under the newly released PHP 4.4.0. These appear however to be harmless; if you encounter them add this to your LocalSettings.php to suppress the notices:

::<code>error_reporting( E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE );</code>

:PHP 5.1.0beta3 is known to be incompatible at this time.

:'''Changes since last release''': ([http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=342530 full release notes])

:* ([[MediaZilla:2755]], [[MediaZilla:2747]]) MySQL 3.23.x and table prefix compatibility fix: restore old watchlist code
:* PHP 4.1.2 compatibility fix: define floatval() equivalent if missing

<span style="color:red;">1.4.6 released 2005-07-07</span>: Stable series security and bugfix release. For details of this and all earlier releases, please see [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/index.php.old the old main page at wikipedia.sourceforge.net].

===Beta preview release===

<span style="color:red;">1.5beta3 released 2005-07-07</span>: '''Beta of next major release'''

[http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.5beta3.tar.gz?download mediawiki-1.5beta3.tar.gz]

:MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series, with a security update over beta 2. Third-party users should probably not use this beta release to run a public site unless paying close attention to development and ongoing releases.

:A number of significant changes have been made since the alpha releases, including database changes and a reworking of the user permissions settings. See the file [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/wikipedia/phase3/UPGRADE?rev=1.11 UPGRADE] for details of upgrading and changing your prior configuration settings for the new system.
