Hallo,
Brion Vibber hat gerade MediaWiki 1.4beta1 freigegeben. Was einige vielleicht interessieren dürfte sind die neuen Features in 1.4, darunter auch das hier gerade diskutierte "LetzeÄnderungen Patrolie" feature :-)
Desweiteren scheint es eine einfache Möglichkeit zu geben Bilder-Gallerien zu erstellen, was insbesondere die commons Leute freuen wird und es gibt wohl auch Unterstützung für die Rasterung von svg (scalale vector graphics) Dateien.
Viele Grüße, Marco

MediaWiki 1.4beta1 is an experimental release, to help flush out remaining major problems in the code prior to a final public 1.4.0 release. It is not recommended to use this beta on a public site unless you're familiar with MediaWiki innards and are willing and able to help diagnose and fix problems that come up.
=== New features ===
* 'Recentchanges Patrol' to mark new edits that haven't yet been viewed. * New, searchable deletion/upload/protection logs * Image gallery generation (Special:Newimages and <gallery> tag) * SVG rasterization support (requires external support) * Users can select from the available localizations to override the default user interface language. * Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion support
=== Installation and compatibility ===
* The default MonoBook theme now works with PHP 5.0 * Installation on systems with PHP's safe mode or other oddities should work more reliably, as MonoBook no longer needs to create a compiled template file for the wiki to run. * A table prefix may be specified, to avoid conflicts with other web applications forced to share a database. * More thorough UTF-8 input validation; fixes non-ASCII uploaded filenames from Safari. * Command-line database upgrade script.
=== Customizability ===
* Default user options can now be overridden in LocalSettings. * Skins system more modular: templates and CSS are now in /skins/ New skins can be dropped into this directory and used immediately. * More extension hooks have been added. * Authentication plugin hook. * More internal code documentation, generated with phpdoc: http://www.mediawiki.org/docs/html/
=== Optimization ===
* For many operations, MediaWiki 1.4 should run faster and use less memory than MediaWiki 1.3. Page rendering is up to twice as fast. (Use a PHP accelerator such as Turck MMCache for best results with any PHP application, though!) * The parser cache no longer requires memcached, and is enabled by default. This avoids a lot of re-rendering of pages that have been shown recently, greatly speeding longer page views. * Support for compiled PHP modules to speed up page diff and Unicode validation/normalization. (Requires ability to compile and load PHP extensions).
=== What isn't ready yet ===
* A new user/groups permissions scheme has been held back to 1.5. * An experimental SOAP interface will be made available as an extension * PostgreSQL support is largely working, but search and installer support are not complete. These are being actively worked on and should come in later betas. * E-mail notification of watched page changes and verification of user-submitted e-mail addresses is not yet included. If updates are available, this may make it into later betas. * Log pages are not automatically imported into the new log table at upgrade time. A script to import old text log entries is incomplete, but may be available by the time 1.4 finishes. * UI messages may be broken in Latin-1 mode in this release due to some minor breakage in the language selection module.
