MediaWiki 1.3.8 is a bugfix release. Those running wikis with uploads
enabled are strongly recommended to upgrade as this fixes several 
problems
with overwriting previously-uploaded files.

(Users already running 1.3.7 who want only the upload fix need copy in 
only the updated SpecialUpload.php. However including all updated files 
is recommended as there are a number of other bug fixes.)

Changes from 1.3.7:
* (bug 506) fix array_key_exists() warning for IIS servers using
   ISAPI mode
* (bug 718) fix bad charset in (file) cached pages
* use local numerals in category page (for Hindi et al)
* alias month abbreviations to month names in Hindi
* add localized numerals for Gujarati and Kannada
* fix Category and project namespaces for Hindi
* Don't output bogus timestamp on Special:Recentchanges if no entries
* Correct template include path which broke some but not all Windows 
installs
* Fix edit form submission problem with some PHP versions
* Disallow unreachable titles with %XX hex codes
* Allow page [[0]] to be renamed
* (bug 774) when saving with section=new, return to the anchor as with
   existing numbered section edits
* Experimental shared upload overlay area (disabled by default)
* (bug 806) Removed some "Wikipedia" hardcoding in German localization
* User option localization fix for some extensions
* (bug 809) now try to load the mysql php extension if it isn't loaded
* (bug 848) fix error message in Special:Newpages RSS and Atom feeds
* (bug 26) fix cache headers on anon talk page notification
* (bug 874) added 'cgi' to wgFileBlacklist
* (bug 862) localize date and time format for Finnish
* (bug 548) Don't overwrite images until the user confirms it
