So I get the same behaviour with 1.5.8 - which I believe is the most up to date released version that I can get.
That's before the fixes checked in on head (which will go into 1.5.9 also).
Exactly how "up to date" do you mean? If you're talking CVS-checkout up-to-date, then no, I'm not up to date. But neither are most people, I daresay. What I'm personal interested in is the behaviour of released available-now production-ready-here-and-now latest-and-greatest-stable-version software, for the simple reason that that's the software I know I'll use.
That'd be 1.6.0 as of tomorrow or shortly thereafter.
However, undeterred, I checked out from CVS following the cvs checkout instructions on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_CVS :
We're junking CVS due to longtime problems and a total outage for the last few days; grab current code from Subersion. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion
Completely ignoring the directions, I tried to use it anyway, but got various errors. No big surprise, but it didn't hurt to try. So, short of upgrading the system I'm using, it's as up-to-date as can be.
Well, upgrading would be nice. :)
