Quoting Brion Vibber, from the post of Wed, 01 Sep:
Only if you're checking out the REL1_3 branch. If you're in the HEAD branch you'll receive the latest alpha code.
noted for next upgrade. my CVS skills were not refreshed often lately.
instead it landed a 1.4 alpha in my directory, and I got errors instead of pages. I then tried running the install process once more (it did such a fine job upgrading my DB from 1.2.6 to 1.3.0beta2) and no go.
Can you specify what the problem was? Without details such as error messages, we may never be able to fix your problem.
well, not without upgrading to it again.
I don't mind running 1.4 alpha and report bugs, but I could not find a way to upgrade without diving into the code (like a doc telling me about what changes to do to the table schemes), so I folded up the directory and reinstalled 1.3.2 from the tarball.
First, make sure you really have a clean copy, that you haven't mixed together files from two versions.
done. still no help.
Second, try to isolate individual links on separate pages. See if they are consistent. Try re-typing them and cut-and-paste. Check for non-breaking spaces and other odd characters.
I would try this myself, but your wiki won't let me edit so you'll have to diagnose this yourself.
it won't let people edit without logging in. Just a minor spam bot stopper. I opened anon editing for now.
I retyped a few links, no go. copied a paragraph to the sandbox and as you can see the category setting is still not parsed as well as a word at the end of the segment, exactly like in the original page.

below it I cut and pasted a bit of the main page as well. tried seperating the [[links]] by whitespace from the neighbouring commas and such, still no use.
Finally on the last section I just typed, copy-pasted and played around with several [[links]] that worked or didn't. Results: the exact same ones that work - work again (whether to existing pages or red links to non existing ones), and those that didn't get parsed or were random strings I invented to new pages did not get parsed into links at all, red or blue. no matter if I retyped or copied them.
Other voodoos I noticed: * when I sit the "random article" link (third on the navigation panel) I sometimes get an error where the article does not exist like so: http://cliki.site.co.il/%D7%A7%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%94 this is the text of "badtitletext" which may help with the above phenomenon, these are links that used to exist, and they infact DO appear in the list of pages "Randompage" is looking at, but can't be displayed when I try to go there. the Allpages demonstrates this the best: http://cliki.site.co.il/%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%95%D7%97%D7%93:Allpages
note, the error says this page is not displayable from what I gather, it does NOT say "this page is blank, please edit it" etc. like if I point to a random string that was never a page.
* Also asking for Special:Categories leads me to an error page: http://cliki.site.co.il/%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%95%D7%97%D7%93:Categories the line in question from function formatResult( $skin, $result ) calls a function on $skin but complains it's a non-object... the plot thickens.
probably a few other mysteries I'm yet to discover...
any/all help and pointer will be appreciated.
