We are proud to announce the first stable release of the 2009 Q1 branch of MediaWiki, version 1.14.0.

We are also releasing MediaWiki 1.13.5. This is a maintenance release which corrects some bugs in the installer, introduced during the hasty security release of 1.13.4. It is not necessary to upgrade if you do not intend on using the installer.

Thanks to our localisation community at translatewiki.net, MediaWiki 1.14.0 now has 311,000 localised interface text fragments spread across 298 languages, that's 17% more than in 1.13.0.

MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.

Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.

Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
