by Chad Horohoe 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hi! It's November 2017, which means that the 1.28.x branch of MediaWiki has reached the end of its life. Lets wish it the best as it moves off to the great big code repository in the sky. All users are encouraged to upgrade to 1.29.x which is the latest stable branch. Note: 1.30.0 should be out by the end of the month, we've already branched and are working on making sure the release is ready-to-go :) -- Chad Horohoe

Announcing 1.29.1 Bugfix Release
by Chad Horohoe 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Hello! I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.29.1. There was an issue wherein two extensions (SpamBlacklist and PdfHandler) were missing from the generated packages. Considering the report wasn't very widespread, most users uploaded the existing files over the old one (per the upgrade instructions) so they didn't actually lose their extensions. Apologies for any issues you may have encountered during your upgrade. The updated links can be found below: Full release notes for 1.29.1: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.29> ********************************************************************** 1.29.1 ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.1.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-core-1.29.1.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.29.0):: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.1.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.1.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-core-1.29.1.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.1.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html -- Chad H.

MediaWiki 1.29.0-rc.1 now available
by Chad Horohoe 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

Hi all, First, I'd like apologize for the extreme delay in getting 1.29 out the door. There's been a bunch of rather nasty bugs that have popped right around the first release candidate. They've mostly been related to database transactions and job queue support. As both are kind of crucial I've decided to hold back the release. As of today, all pending blockers to 1.29 have been resolved. But considering the severity, I'd like to get one last release candidate in. So without further ado.... I'd like to announce the immediate availability of MediaWiki 1.29.0-rc.1, the second release candidate for 1.29.x. Links at the end of the e-mail. This is not a final release and should not be used for production websites. As always please do try out the release candidate in a test environment. It's how we find bugs that didn't surface in initial development :) Full release notes: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_29/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.29 ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.0-rc.1.tar.gz Core only (no extensions): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-core-1.29.0-rc.1.ta… Patch to previous version (1.29.0-rc.0): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.0-rc.1.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.0-rc.1.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-core-1.29.0-rc.1.ta… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.0-rc.1.patch.g… Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html -- Chad Horohoe

1.29.0-rc.0 released, timeline on 1.29.0, EOL of 1.23.x
by Chad Horohoe 31 May '17

31 May '17

Hi, I'd like to announce the immediate availability of MediaWiki 1.29.0-rc.0, the first release candidate for 1.29.x. Links at the end of the e-mail. This is not a final release and should not be used for production websites. Notably, there's a few major outstanding bugs related to the job queue. As always please do try out the release candidate in a test environment. It's how we find bugs that didn't surface in initial development :) The timeline for 1.29.0 is a little fuzzy right now, and I apologize. The outstanding bugs have been pretty hard to isolate and fix, but I see progress so I hope those working on them will have it all resolved soon. Finally, per the version lifecycle I'm announcing the End Of Life of MediaWiki 1.23.x. The final release in this series was 1.23.17. Those installations using the versions as LTS should upgrade to 1.27.3, as 1.27.x is the supported LTS branch through June 2019.

Security release 1.27.3 and 1.28.2
by Chad Horohoe 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello! I would like to announce the immediate availability of security releases 1.27.3 and 1.28.2. Due to a mistake in packaging, the releases 1.27.2 and 1.28.1 did not contain the fix for SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi. This new release does contain that fix. The task in question: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158689 If you are not running this extension, you do not necessarily need to upgrade. Thanks, and I apologize for any confusion in the matter.

1.23.17 bugfix release
by Chad Horohoe 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hello! I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.23.17. There was an issue in the 1.23.16 release that prevented it from running on PHP 5.3 installations. Considering the report wasn't very widespread, I'm guessing most people haven't been affected yet. If you are, this release will fix it. Apologies for any issues you may have encountered during your upgrade.

by Chad Horohoe 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Hello! I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.28.1, 1.27.2 and 1.23.16! These releases fix five security issues in core and one for the extension SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi. Download links are given at the end of this email. Please note that next month is the End-Of-Life date for MediaWiki 1.23. This means that MediaWiki 1.23.16 will be the last security release for that version, barring any unforeseen issues. We would strongly encourage users of MediaWiki 1.23 to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.27, released in June 2016, or a yet newer version as soon as possible. MediaWiki 1.27 will be supported until June 2019. See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle> for more information. This release also serves as a maintenance release for these branches. == Security fixes == * (T109140) (T122209) Special:UserLogin and Special:Search allow redirect to interwiki links.
