MediaWiki 1.10.0 released
The big one-oh; MediaWiki 1.10.0 is out, bringing with it the newest stable release branch of MediaWiki. As usual, I recommend that all wiki operators begin plans for upgrading.
If you’re running MediaWiki 1.7.x or above, then you’re already configured to use PHP 5, and the regular upgrade instructions will work a treat. If running MediaWiki 1.6.x, then you should still consider upgrading, but you will need to ensure that PHP 5 is available, and either upgrade to it, or pester the appropriate people to do so. This can be a problem for users of a shared hosting environment.
I’ll leave you with a short piece of “advice” from a friend, who, upon hearing that 1.10 was “out”, screamed, “RUN FOR THE HILLS”.
