MediaWiki 1.3.3 released
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

MediaWiki 1.3.3 is a bug fix release. In particular upgrading is
recommended to anyone running a non-English wiki where some links
mysteriously don't work in 1.3.2.

Changes from 1.3.2:
* Fix for long numeric page titles
* Fix Go search for "0", numeric almost-self-links
* Avoid caching of pages with "You have new messages" headers
* Fix for upgrades as non-root users from 1.2 command-line installs.
* Fix for $wgDebugDumpSql debug mode.
* $wgExtraNamespaces setting for configuring additional namespaces
~ (see note in DefaultSettings.php)
* 'recache' on query pages now disabled when miser mode is on; special
~ case the global settings in your LocalSettings.php to do automatic
~ updates.
* Don't block UTF-8 titles containing byte 0xA0 (bug added in 1.3.2)
* Watch/unwatch tabs now shown on edit pages in MonoBook.
* Fix default skin in Irish localization (ga)
* Add Traditional Chinese localization (zh-tw)
* Changed default sortkey of subcategories. Don't include "Category:"
~ prefix any longer
* More helpful info on spam catcher.
* Allow larger offsets for queries such as Special:Listusers
* Semicolon (;) added to French non-break space rules
* Possible fix for some install errors with path names permission
~ problems.
* Removed [[Project:All system messages]], which has been superceded by
~ the much faster [[Special:Allmessages]]. This speeds up installation
~ considerably.


Anyone still running the 1.3 beta releases is _strongly_ recommended to
upgrade to the current code due to numerous fixed bugs and a security
vulnerability in the betas with some PHP configurations.

Note that while MediaWiki through 1.1 required register_globals to be
on, 1.2 and 1.3 *do not*. If you have register_globals on, you should
turn it off unless you are absolutely sure you require it for some other
package. See http://php.net/register_globals for general information.
