MediaWiki 1.5.0 is the new stable release branch of MediaWiki, and is recommended for all new installations.

See the release notes (link below) for details of new features and requirements.

Any wikis running a 1.5 beta or release candidate are strongly recommended to upgrade to the final release, which includes a number of bug fixes and a security fix for CSS bugs in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

IMPORTANT: Running a 1.3 or 1.4 wiki and don't want to jump to 1.5 yet? Be sure to upgrade to 1.3.17 or 1.4.11, also released today. Versions prior to 1.3.16 and 1.4.10 have a serious data corruption bug which is triggered by a spambot known to operate in the wild.
