This should be pretty much it before a formal 1.2.0 release; the main thing remaining is smarter update of the messages when updating an existing wiki. (Upgraders, please see http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_namespace for some notes on how the new UI interface message editing works. You may have to manually fix messages that were previously customized in Language.php.)
Thanks to everyone who's given feedback! Changes in 1.2.0rc3 from rc2:
General: * register_globals no longer required * Fix error message on some redirects on Windows servers * Now supports friendlier URLs without mod_rewrite: /index.php/Page_Title in place of /index.php?title=Page_Title * arrow icons for 'enhanced recent changes' now included * Timestamp consistency bug on some page move cases fixed.
Web installer fixes: * If write of LocalSettings.php fails, the text is printed for a manual cut-n-paste * Fixed failure to write LocalSettings.php on older versions of PHP * Can now run database updates if pointed at an existing db * Include path now uses correct separator on Windows
Command-line installer/updater fixes: * Now copies magnify-clip.png and LocalSettings.php (by update.php)

Brion,
I seriously think the continual corruption of the links table is a much more problematic issue, and it should really be looked at.
I just submitted the following query:
SELECT * FROM links WHERE l_from='Call_Of_Cthulhu' LIMIT 100 ^ (notice capital O) and I got:
l_from l_to Call_Of_Cthulhu 399579 (this is [[Call_of_Cthulhu]]) Call_Of_Cthulhu 177043 (this is [[The_Call_of_Cthulhu]])
Since [[Call_Of_Cthulhu]] is simply a redirect [[The_Call_of_Cthulhu]], the first row shouldn't be there.
I tried to fix this problem, by changing the redirect to [[Call_of_Cthulhu]] and then immediately back, and this is what we have now:
l_from l_to Call_Of_Cthulhu 399579 Call_Of_Cthulhu 177043 Call_Of_Cthulhu 399579 Call_Of_Cthulhu 177043
Enough said! Timwi

Brion,

Suspect #1 is currently the link cache (linkscc table). Its title column is case-insensitive, which may lead to problems in some cases. I've turned the link cache off for now, and am running (again) a sitewide links rebuild (which will take a long, long time, in the background).
