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 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.

This is the quarterly release snapshot for Summer 2006. While the code
has been running on Wikipedia for some time, installation and upgrade
bits 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
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
This is the first version of MediaWiki to require PHP 5. 5.1.x is recommended;
5.0 may work but is not well tested. (PHP 5.0 is no longer maintained; all PHP
5.0 users should upgrade to a current 5.1 release to ensure they have all
security fixes.) PHP 4.x is no longer supported by MediaWiki. If you are unable
to upgrade PHP, sorry, but you will have to stick with old versions of MediaWiki
for now.
