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
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.
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:
~ error_reporting( E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE );
PHP 5.1.0beta3 is known to be incompatible at this time.

MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
While most exciting new bugs should have been ironed out at this point,
third-party wiki operators should probably not run this beta release
on a public site without closely following additional development.
Anyone who _has_ been running beta 1 is very very strongly advised to
upgrade to beta 2, as it fixes many bugs from the previous beta
including a couple of HTML and SQL injections.
This release should be followed by one or two release candidates and
a 1.5.0 final within the next few weeks.
Beta upgraders, note there are some minor database changes. For upgrades
from 1.4, see the file UPGRADE for details on significant database and
configuration file changes.
Beta 2 includes a preliminary command-line XML wiki dump importer tool,
maintenance/importDump.php, paired with maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
These use the same format as Special:Export and Special:Import, able
to package a wiki's entire page set independent of the backend database
and compression format.
