Media Wiki:MediaWiki 1.5.6
From IpbWiki
January 19, 2006
MediaWiki 1.5.6 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
A bug in edit comment formatting could send PHP into an infinite loop if certain malformed links were included. In most installations, this would cause the script to fail after PHP's 30-second failsafe timeout.
Some improvements have been made to the installer which should make installation possible on a system with a broken MySQL "root" account.
Changes since 1.5.5
- (bug 4258) When installing under IIS, $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1" should be set
- (bug 4510) Correct Barnes & Noble bookstore URLs
- (bug 4504) Use site language for namespace name resolution
- Installer fixes from HEAD backported; now uses a more sensible method of establishing which mySQL user to use, which clears up bug 921 et al. Minor changes to installer.
- Fix problem reported on mailing list where re-initialising stats didn't work (can't insert duplicate rows with the same id field)
- (bug 1122) gray out 'older revision' when viewing first article revision.
- Respect database prefix in dumpHTML.inc
- Minor improvements to removeUnusedAccounts.php maintenance script
- Fix for single-digit week numbers from 35, broken by PHP 4.4.1
- Removed read-only check from Database::query()
- Added --conf option to command line scripts, allowing the user to specify a different LocalSettings.php.
