This will likely be the last release in the 1.2.x series, as we work on finishing up 1.3.0...
Changes since 1.2.5: * Spam blocker ($wgSpamRegex - refuses to save edits that match) * Updated documentation about $wgWhitelistRead * Ensure that searchindex table is created as MyISAM * Interwiki cache timeout (memcached) * Fix uploads on Windows with magic_quotes_gpc * Some config fixes for Windows (slashes etc) * Local interwiki URL redirects * Fixed obscure deletion problem in squid mode on corrupt entries * Language files updated to remove more hard-coded "Wikipedia" strings
There are no database format changes.

- Updated documentation about $wgWhitelistRead
Just a reminder: MediaWiki is *not* really intended for wikis that aren't accessible to the general public. $wgWhitelistRead is very weak, and there are a number of ways to get around it to read blocked pages (at least some of which are fixed in 1.3).
If you're running a private wiki, use your web server's built-in support for IP range limits and HTTP authentication and other such controls to keep unwanted visitors from reading your pages.

I looked through the doc files, but couldn't find the answer to this.
Is there any particular procedure for upgrading to the new version (from 1.2.5)? Or, do you just untar it into your instalation directory?

I would like to know the files which done the parsing job in mediawiki. example: '''title''' => <b>title</b>
Thank you for your info

See Parser.php and Tokenizer.php.

If you haven't changed anything that will conflict, and there are no database changes, you can just untar the new version over the old one.
(If you have changed some files, you'll want to make sure you resolve any conflicts manually.)
When there are database changes (for instance the upcoming 1.3 upgrade) you'll have to also run the config installer script or else manually run the update scripts (which should be described in maintenance/archives/patch-list.txt) Right now this is slightly awkward in that you have to remove the LocalSettings.php to get the installer to run (it will upgrade the existing database), then restore any LocalSettings customizations.
