[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.3.1 released

[Brion Vibber]

1.3.1 fixes some of the remaining problems in 1.3.0:

* Watchlist parameters now work with register_globals off
* Fixed parsing of ''italics'' and '''bold''' mark-up (again)
* Special:Allpages display is more sensible on smaller wikis
* Fixed XHTML parsing error in classic skins
* Moved pages update watchlist correctly
* Fixed rebuildall.php on case-sensitive Unix filesystems
* Disabled file cache compression by default due to incompatibility
   with output buffer compression (ob_gzhandler)
* New magic word PAGENAMEE (URL-escaped version of PAGENAME)
* Installation avoids blank username; better message on missing
   XML module
* $wgWhitelistAccount no longer breaks all logins.


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.
