This will likely be the last release in the 1.2.x series, as we work on
finishing up 1.3.0...

Changes since 1.2.5:
* Spam blocker ($wgSpamRegex - refuses to save edits that match)
* Updated documentation about $wgWhitelistRead
* Ensure that searchindex table is created as MyISAM
* Interwiki cache timeout (memcached)
* Fix uploads on Windows with magic_quotes_gpc
* Some config fixes for Windows (slashes etc)
* Local interwiki URL redirects
* Fixed obscure deletion problem in squid mode on corrupt entries
* Language files updated to remove more hard-coded "Wikipedia" strings

There are no database format changes.

Just a reminder: MediaWiki is *not* really intended for wikis that
aren't accessible to the general public. $wgWhitelistRead is very weak,
and there are a number of ways to get around it to read blocked pages
(at least some of which are fixed in 1.3).

If you're running a private wiki, use your web server's built-in support
for IP range limits and HTTP authentication and other such controls to
keep unwanted visitors from reading your pages.
