Ok, the release schedule got disrupted with all the busy Wikimedia
Foundation stuff over the last few months, but we're getting back on
track with this release candidate for the Winter 2008 quarterly release,
MediaWiki 1.12.
There's a *lot* of updates, small and large... Perhaps most significant
is a rewrite of much of the parser, changing how templates and
extensions are expanded. Among other things, this should ensure that
complex mixes of templates and HTML tables should render more similarly
between Wikipedia and default installations of MediaWiki.
For this release candidate, we're very interested to hear back about
regressions or problems with the installer / updaters. Note that, as
with most previous releases, you will have to run the updaters to apply
some database schema updates when you upgrade.

Hi All,
Does anyone know if LiquidThreads Extension can be installed on MediaWiki
1.11.1 ?
We are looking for Forum like functionality integrated into Wiki and I think
this is the best one.
Thanks,
Itay
Hi,
Has anyone got the FileProtocolLink extension working on Mac OS X yet?
I've got it working on windows machines, but not Mac.
I've posted this about 5 times now and had no reply as to whether
anyone's done it or not.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Dan
Where is subversion of the postgresql database schema? There's an error
between image and oldimage. Inserts into oldimage are based on nested
selects()'s from image -- the casting text::bytea doesn't work.
CREATE TABLE image (
[...snip...]
img_metadata TEXT,
);
CREATE TABLE oldimage (
[...snip...]
oi_metadata BYTEA NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
);
It looks like the Ubuntu flunkies already picked it up:

Hello,
Situation:
#######
i am running several wiki instances (mediawiki 1.10 on ubuntu-server)
inside a local / private network.
all wikis are accessable via:
http://my.local.ip.here/wikis/wiki_name/
All wikis do have file-upload enabled but limited regarding file-types
and size for sure.
The uploaded files using wiki's upload function end up in:
http://my.local.ip.here/wikis/wiki_name/images/"0-9 & a-f" <<
guess default behaviour
Task:
#####
Users of one of my wikis want to be able to upload larger files to the
wiki, i.e. Install-Packages of apps they are using etc...
As i dont think it is a good idea to use wikis upload function for
larger files (> 100/200MB) i think we do need another solution
Idea:
####
* Setup an SMB share on the wiki-server
* Users can upload the desired files into that smb-share from all
platforms (linux, windows, macs) without problem
* Cron-Script checks this smb-share periodicaly to import those files
into the wiki using /maintenance/importImages.php
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportImages.php
* Cron-Script removes the files from the smb-share-folder
* Optional: write notice-mail to the user.
Question:
#######
* Experiences with such a setup ?
* Any hints & tricks i should know
* Any known problem using this idea ?
* Better ideas ?
Any feedback & hint is appreciated
Best regards
Florian
