Quoting Brion Vibber, from the post of Wed, 01 Sep:
Only if you're checking out the REL1_3 branch. If
you're in the HEAD
branch you'll receive the latest alpha code.
noted for next upgrade. my CVS skills were not refreshed often lately.
instead
it landed a 1.4 alpha in my directory, and I got errors instead of
pages. I then tried running the install process once more (it did such a
fine job upgrading my DB from 1.2.6 to 1.3.0beta2) and no go.
Can you specify what the problem was? Without details such as error
messages, we may never be able to fix your problem.
well, not without upgrading to it again.
I don't mind running 1.4 alpha and report bugs, but I could not find a
way to upgrade without diving into the code (like a doc telling me about
what changes to do to the table schemes), so I folded up the directory
and reinstalled 1.3.2 from the tarball.
First, make sure you really have a clean copy, that
you haven't mixed
together files from two versions.
done. still no help.
Second, try to isolate individual links on separate
pages. See if they
are consistent. Try re-typing them and cut-and-paste. Check for
non-breaking spaces and other odd characters.
I would try this myself, but your wiki won't let me edit so you'll have
to diagnose this yourself.
it won't let people edit without logging in. Just a minor spam bot
stopper. I opened anon editing for now.
I retyped a few links, no go. copied a paragraph to the sandbox and as
you can see the category setting is still not parsed as well as a word
at the end of the segment, exactly like in the original page.

below it I cut and pasted a bit of the main page as well. tried
seperating the [[links]] by whitespace from the neighbouring commas and
such, still no use.
Finally on the last section I just typed, copy-pasted and played around
with several [[links]] that worked or didn't. Results: the exact same ones
that work - work again (whether to existing pages or red links to non
existing ones), and those that didn't get parsed or were random strings
I invented to new pages did not get parsed into links at all, red or
blue. no matter if I retyped or copied them.
Other voodoos I noticed:
* when I sit the "random article" link (third on the navigation panel) I
sometimes get an error where the article does not exist like so:
http://cliki.site.co.il/%D7%A7%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%94
this is the text of "badtitletext" which may help with the above
phenomenon, these are links that used to exist, and they infact DO
appear in the list of pages "Randompage" is looking at, but can't be
displayed when I try to go there. the Allpages demonstrates this the
best:
http://cliki.site.co.il/%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%95%D7%97%D7%93:Allpages
note, the error says this page is not displayable from what I gather,
it does NOT say "this page is blank, please edit it" etc. like if I
point to a random string that was never a page.
* Also asking for Special:Categories leads me to an error page:
http://cliki.site.co.il/%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%95%D7%97%D7%93:Categories
the line in question from function formatResult( $skin, $result )
calls a function on $skin but complains it's a non-object... the plot
thickens.
probably a few other mysteries I'm yet to discover...
any/all help and pointer will be appreciated.
