Question... I installed 1.4 just over a year ago and now there have been at least 3 major revs since then. Is there any point of maturity forseeable on the horizon, or do we just have to expect a new must-have revision every few months or so? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org]On Behalf Of Brion Vibber Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 8:10 PM To: Wikimedia developers; MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.7.0 release candidate -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Earlier today I branched off 1.7 in our subversion repository, and made a release candidate: http://svn.wikimedia.org/snapshots/mediawiki-1.7.0rc.tar.gz It's marked as just 1.7.0 internally. If there's no reports of major breakage by tomorrow morning I'll re-zip it as 1.7.0 final. I'd appreciate if a few people could test installation and upgrading, which don't receive as much testing from Wikipedia as other code. - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

All releases are pretty well mature. That's why they get released. =) Upgrading has been remarkably easy.. often under 5 minutes of work. Although from 1.4, I can see some LocalSettings.php settings changing, so it could be a bit annoying to get up to speed that first time.
