MediaWiki 1.4beta3 is an experimental release, to help flush out remaining major problems in the code prior to a final public 1.4.0 release. It is not recommended to use this beta on a public site unless you're familiar with MediaWiki innards and are willing and able to help diagnose and fix problems that come up.

Users of the earlier beta releases should upgrade as soon as possible, particularly if uploads are enabled. A security vulnerability with uploads on some Apache configurations has been fixed in this release.

=== Beta 3 fixes ===

* Hide RC patrol markers when patrol is disabled or not allowed to patrol. * Fix language selection for upgraded accounts * (bug 1076) navigation links in QueryPage should be translated by wgContLang. * (bug 922) bogus DOS line endings in LanguageEl.php * Fix index usage in contribs * Caching and load limiting options for Recentchanges RSS/Atom feed * (bug 1074) Add stock icons for non-image files in gallery/Newimages * Add width and height attributes on thumbs in gallery/Newimages * Enhance upload extension blacklist to protect against vulnerable Apache configurations
