[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.3.0beta2 released

[Brion Vibber]

This is a *BETA RELEASE* of MediaWiki 1.3.0, after a couple weeks of 
testing and tweaking on Wikipedia. Things mostly work at this point, but 
installation and upgrade paths may be awkward or broken on some systems 
(we don't stress the regular install/upgrade system on Wikipedia since 
we do mass runs of piecemeal updates).

Please read the release notes for details of what's changed and how to 
upgrade. (Beta1 was not released as a package, but was available from 
CVS only. Don't worry, you didn't miss it!)

The easiest upgrade path from a 1.2 MediaWiki install is to set up the 
1.3 wiki in a fresh directory, run the web-based installer, and point it 
at the same database. BACK UP YOUR DATABASE FIRST! Upgrading the 
database may take a while, or may fail on some systems.
