MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 is a preview release, pretty much feature complete, of the new 1.5 release series. There are several known and likely a number of unknown bugs; it is not recommended to use this release in a production environment but would be recommended for testing in mind of an upcoming deployment.
A number of significant changes have been made since the alpha releases, including database changes and a reworking of the user permissions settings. See the file UPGRADE for details of upgrading and changing your prior configuration settings for the new system.
For a relatively full list of changes since 1.5alpha2, see the changelog in the release notes.
