Thread:Talk:Semantic Bundle/Which MW is the current release compatible with?/reply (5)

This problem is getting worse.

Sourceforge now indicates that 1.8.0.5 is the latest version however there is no obvious indication there of which version of mediawiki do you have to install first to get this to work, nor any indication of which version of Semantic Mediawiki to install to get the Bundle  to work.

There need to be Debian-like levels of stability indicated so that those who want to bleed can download the latest of everything, but those who just need it to work fairly reliably can use a known working combination of mediawiki itself, SMW, and perhaps an older version of the Bundle with relatively stable extensions known to work with those particular versions.

Surely some of the users who have been using MW/SMW/Bundle for some time can simply disclose what combinations of versions of each have worked on their most stable wikis / wiki farms?

For some months now there has been an active 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21 branch. In September 2013 it appears they were updated simultaneously. The recommended versions were
 * 1.21.2 – 2013-09-03
 * 1.20.7 – 2013-09-03
 * 1.19.8 – 2013-09-03

As it appears three versions are going to be maintained simultaneously for the forseeable future, knowing which of the three to install before installing which version of SMW and of Semantic Bundle is quite important. At present new users are entirely in the dark here and there are many failure conditions.
