I just installed the 1.2.2 release, and everything went reasonably well. I used the update.php script. However, I did notice one thing that appears to be a bug. The $wgAllMessagesEn array includes values for "sitesupport" and "sitesupportpage," and the instructions say that if "sitesupportpage" is not set, the donations link "won't appear." The problem is that it didn't appear even when I DID set "sitesupportpage" to the URL of our donations page.
I was able to get it working by adding the following line to LocalSettings.php:
$wgSiteSupportPage = "https://www.groundspring.org/donate/index.cfm?ID=2344-0%7C1118-0";
I figured this out by noticing that inside DefaultSettings.php, there is a line that reads:
$wgSiteSupportPage = "";
This should do something more intelligent, such as setting $wgSiteSupportPage to the value of "sitesupportpage," shouldn't it?

AFAIK the message "sitesupportpage" is not used; I don't know why there's a blank one listed. Set the link in $wgSiteSupportPage in LocalSettings.php.

Changes since 1.2.2: * Fixed an in-place install bug with non-root MySQL user * Fixed history diff checkboxes bug on titles with ampersands * Fixed printable link bug on special pages with parameters * Fixed bug that broke IP blocking w/o memcached * Turns off E_NOTICE warnings if PHP settings have them on (you can grope in and turn this off if you like to debug)
There are no database format changes. The proxy blocker hasn't yet been merged, I'll try to get that in sometime...

Hi, Will it be possible to convert from 1.2.4 to phase3 ? I dont want to restart if the new version is released. @brion: I am Genesis, we talked in IRC yesterday :-)

"Phase 3" is the old name for the current code base, not the name for the next version of MediaWiki.
In general, Brion and the other MediaWiki developers have done an excellent job making sure that the update code works well. Barring major changes in development policy, upgrades for future versions of the software should have at least written instructions and usually some automated process.

You shouldn't ever have to. If you do, don't upgrade to the new version. (I'm just imagining myself trying to explain this to users on our wiki: "Well, we had to wipe out a year's worth of work, but on the plus side, we now have GRAPHICAL SMILIES.")
