Thread:Project:Support desk/No way of getting hold of extensions guaranteed to work with 1.20.0

I have upgraded my wiki to 1.20.0. As ExtensionDistributor still does not have 1.20.x versions of extensions available I took the trunk version. On testing I find that the trunk version of ConfirmEdit is not compatible with 1.20 - FancyCaptcha.class.php makes a call to FSFileBackend:getWikiId but that function is not present on 1.20.0. I have therefore wound back to the 1.19 version.

When 1.19 was issued there was a similar delay on updating ExtensionDistributor to provide 1.19.x versions of extensions. On that occasion I opted to use the 1.18 versions as I already had those available. I was faced with a similar problem - one of the extensions (TitleBlacklist I think) was not compatible with 1.19 as a result of which it was not possible to create new users until I got hold of a 1.19-compatible version of this extension.

I am now left in the position where I have no idea if any of the other extensions I have installed will cause problems with 1.20. I will have to keep an eye on the error log and fix any problems that occur.
