This is the quarterly release snapshot for Fall 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
will be made 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
== Configuration changes ==
* $wgUseETag, to enable/disable sending of HTTP ETag headers
(default: disabled)
* $wgLegalTitleChars now includes '+' by default for better compatibility
with importing data dumps from Wikipedia
* $wgDefaultUserOptions now includes all default option settings instead
of only overrides.
== Major new features ==
* (bug 7098) Add an option to disable/enable sending of HTTP ETag headers,
as it seems to result in broken behaviour in combination with Squid 2.6
(disabled by default).
* (bug 550) Allow blocks on anonymous users only.
* (bug 6420) Render thumbnails for DJVU images, support multipage DJVU display
on image pages. Added new 'page=' thumbnail option to select a page from a
multipage djvu for thumbnail generation.
* Full Postgres support is now enabled. It requires version 8.1 or better, and
needs to have both plpgsql and tsearch2 already installed.
* (bug 6386) fix grammatical errors in danish naming of talk namespaces.

Hi,
I've been attempting to configure Captcha on my Wiki (1.6.3) using
FancyCaptcha.
It works fine with just the ConfirmEdit extension although I needed to
change some code in the ceSetup function so it wouldn't display as
Chinese (I think it's Chinese anyway).
Although when I try and use FancyCaptcha it won't display the image. I
followed these instructions
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ConfirmEdit_extension. I've created the
images although when I load the create account page it only shows the
text:
As a protection against automated spam, you'll need to type in the
words that appear in this image to register an account:
(What is this?)
and a input box.
The HTML code looks like:
<div class='captcha'><p>As a protection against automated spam, you'll
need to type in the words that appear in this image to register an
account:<br />
(<a href="/wiki-sb/index.php/Special:Captcha/help"
title="Special:Captcha/help">What is this?</a>)
</p><p><img src="/wiki-sb/index.php?title=Special:Captcha/image&wpCaptchaId=1779701830"
width="182" height="71" alt="" /></p>
<input type="hidden" name="wpCaptchaId" id="wpCaptchaId"
value="1779701830" /><p><input name="wpCaptchaWord" id="wpCaptchaWord"
tabindex="1" /></p>
</div>
I've also noticed that the 'What is this?' link is also broken, is
this normal by default and it needs to be manually created? Or should
it already exist?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ewen
Dear all,
I want to ask how to include image from another website in wiki pages ? and
is it possible to create more nagivation box in the left side, beside the
default one ?
Thank you
best regards,
Andry Yudianto
Hi MiSchn,
ist only possible to use MySQL or Postgres by default. If want to use MS-SQL
or MDE you have to code this on your own - that may be a lot of work.
Which Files? "includes/Database*.php" may be a good starting point ...
Cheers Jimmy

Bonjour,
En fait je souhaite juste remplacer l'image headbg.jpg par ma bannière,
et descendre les onglets et le cadre principal afin que ma bannière soit
en haut et complètement visible.
Ce que je souhaiterais serait de mettre le cadre principal à la même
hauteur que le cadre navigation.
Merci.

Hi Liste,
ich bin ein "Frischling" was Wiki's angeht und habe da ein paar Fragen an
euch.
Habe die Ehre bei uns in der Firma ein Wiki aufzubauen. Allerdings habe ich
da auch einige Vorschriften und Features zu beachten.
Wie ihr euch sicher denken könnt würde ich am liebsten das WikiPedia
abbilden.
Nur da fangen meine Probleme schon an.
Leider unterstützt WikiPedia leider keine MS-SQL bzw. MSDE Anbindung. Dies
ist jedoch eine Voraussetzung für dieses Wiki.
Welche Datei bzw. Dateien muss ich anpassen, dass auch MS-SQL bzw. MSDE
unterstützt werden?
Oder gibt es schon ein MOD, der dies unterstützt?
Bin in der Richtung leider nicht wirklich auf dem laufenden.
Hoffe auf eure Hilfe
Gruss
MiSchn
