MediaWiki 1.3.0beta3 released
The installer now tries to enable error reporting and checks for some
problem conditions (low memory_limit and lack of PHP's
installed-by-default XML module). Hopefully this will solve some install
problems and make it easier to diagnose others.

== Changes since 1.3.0beta2 ==

Ongoing performance work:
* Reduced amount of loaded Special page code loaded

Installation:
* Enable error display to try to make it easier to diagnose problems
* Detect memory_limit and try to raise it
* Detect missing XML module and complain

Misc bits:
* Fix for Greek in Monobook skin [PHP bug workaround]
* Image password protection in whitelist read mode (?)
* Some incomplete PostgreSQL support is being worked on. (Won't be ready
for 1.3.0, but might be usable in a later 1.3.x release.)
* All localizations can now be used in UTF-8 encoding.
* Various stylesheet tweaks.
* And other stuff...

Re: MediaWiki 1.3.0beta3 released [ In reply to ]
Zero problem installing it, all issues reported from 1.3.0beta2
have been solved, thanks!

Here is a small patch that documents the existing $wgUseCopyrightUpload
and adds a new $wgCheckCopyrightUpload which I believe is useful for
private installations that would like to track copyright information
($wgUseCopyrightUpload = true) but don't want checks that
the user provided decent values.
