MediaWiki 1.15.0rc1, a release candidate for the 2009 Q2 branch of
MediaWiki, is now available. Please try it out and tell us if it works
for you. This is a beta release and is not recommended for use in a
production environment.

SQLite support has been re-enabled. SQLite is a lightweight serverless
database engine. All you need is the client library (which comes with
PHP), and a place to put files. It should be great for small personal
wikis and resource-limited shared hosts. Please try it out.

A new user preference has been added, allowing the user to specify
their gender. This is primarily for the benefit of localising
interface text in languages which have gendered second person
pronouns, such as Russian. A user's gender is currently only available
via the {{GENDER:}} parser function. More applications may be added later.
