This will likely be the last release in the 1.2.x series, as we work on finishing up 1.3.0...
Changes since 1.2.5: * Spam blocker ($wgSpamRegex - refuses to save edits that match) * Updated documentation about $wgWhitelistRead * Ensure that searchindex table is created as MyISAM * Interwiki cache timeout (memcached) * Fix uploads on Windows with magic_quotes_gpc * Some config fixes for Windows (slashes etc) * Local interwiki URL redirects * Fixed obscure deletion problem in squid mode on corrupt entries * Language files updated to remove more hard-coded "Wikipedia" strings
There are no database format changes.

- Updated documentation about $wgWhitelistRead
Just a reminder: MediaWiki is *not* really intended for wikis that aren't accessible to the general public. $wgWhitelistRead is very weak, and there are a number of ways to get around it to read blocked pages (at least some of which are fixed in 1.3).
If you're running a private wiki, use your web server's built-in support for IP range limits and HTTP authentication and other such controls to keep unwanted visitors from reading your pages.
