Mailing List Archive: MediaWiki 1.2.0rc3 release candidate

This should be pretty much it before a formal 1.2.0 release; the main
thing remaining is smarter update of the messages when updating an
existing wiki. (Upgraders, please see
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_namespace for some notes on
how the new UI interface message editing works. You may have to
manually fix messages that were previously customized in Language.php.)

Thanks to everyone who's given feedback! Changes in 1.2.0rc3 from rc2:

General:
* register_globals no longer required
* Fix error message on some redirects on Windows servers
* Now supports friendlier URLs without mod_rewrite:
/index.php/Page_Title in place of /index.php?title=Page_Title
* arrow icons for 'enhanced recent changes' now included
* Timestamp consistency bug on some page move cases fixed.

Web installer fixes:
* If write of LocalSettings.php fails, the text is printed for a manual
cut-n-paste
* Fixed failure to write LocalSettings.php on older versions of PHP
* Can now run database updates if pointed at an existing db
* Include path now uses correct separator on Windows

Command-line installer/updater fixes:
* Now copies magnify-clip.png and LocalSettings.php (by update.php)

Hi,
Submitted a bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?
func=detail&atid=411192&aid=911754&group_id=34373
----
GNU-FDL link broken on Main page

Hi,
I successfully installed 1.2.0rc3 using the web-install option. The
"GNU Free Documentation License." at the footer does not resolve
to the correct install folder (I guess it defaults to "wiki" - hard-
coded folder name).

regards,
