MediaWiki 1.3.3 is a bug fix release. In particular upgrading is recommended to anyone running a non-English wiki where some links mysteriously don't work in 1.3.2.
Changes from 1.3.2: * Fix for long numeric page titles * Fix Go search for "0", numeric almost-self-links * Avoid caching of pages with "You have new messages" headers * Fix for upgrades as non-root users from 1.2 command-line installs. * Fix for $wgDebugDumpSql debug mode. * $wgExtraNamespaces setting for configuring additional namespaces ~ (see note in DefaultSettings.php) * 'recache' on query pages now disabled when miser mode is on; special ~ case the global settings in your LocalSettings.php to do automatic ~ updates. * Don't block UTF-8 titles containing byte 0xA0 (bug added in 1.3.2) * Watch/unwatch tabs now shown on edit pages in MonoBook. * Fix default skin in Irish localization (ga) * Add Traditional Chinese localization (zh-tw) * Changed default sortkey of subcategories. Don't include "Category:" ~ prefix any longer * More helpful info on spam catcher. * Allow larger offsets for queries such as Special:Listusers * Semicolon (;) added to French non-break space rules * Possible fix for some install errors with path names permission ~ problems. * Removed [[Project:All system messages]], which has been superceded by ~ the much faster [[Special:Allmessages]]. This speeds up installation ~ considerably.
Anyone still running the 1.3 beta releases is _strongly_ recommended to upgrade to the current code due to numerous fixed bugs and a security vulnerability in the betas with some PHP configurations.
Note that while MediaWiki through 1.1 required register_globals to be on, 1.2 and 1.3 *do not*. If you have register_globals on, you should turn it off unless you are absolutely sure you require it for some other package. See http://php.net/register_globals for general information.
