We'll be moving the bug-reduced development branch of MediaWiki into
production this afternoon/evening (US time) / late night (Europe).
There may be some new bugs that haven't been caught yet, so please give
a hoot if you notice anything unusual.
User-visible changes in this round will include:
* Should be faster loading pages with many links.
* Special:Export -- export the source of individual wiki pages,
optionally with their histories, in a thin XML wrapper which includes
metadata (time, etc). This may be useful for those of you working on
automated tools. (There is not yet any comparable import facility.)
* MediaWiki: namespace for adjusting the localization of interface
messages without waiting for a new LanguageXx.php file to get
installed. Limited to sysops.
A category system is partially in the code but won't be enabled just
yet, pending another look over the code.
