MediaWiki 1.15

MediaWiki release notes
Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals↵setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.

MediaWiki 1.15.0
2009-06-10 This is a stable release of the the 2009 Q2 branch of MediaWiki. MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia. Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.

Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain it from source control: Download from SVN

Changes since 1.15.0rc1

 * Removed category redirect feature, implementation was incomplete.
 * (bug 18846) Remove update_password_format, unnecessary, destroys all passwords if a wiki with $wgPasswordSalt=false is upgraded with the web installer.
 * (bug 19127) Documentation warning for PostgreSQL users who run update.php: use the same user in AdminSettings.php as in LocalSettings.php.
 * Fixed possible web invocation of some maintenance scripts, due to the use of include instead of require. A full exploit would require a very strange web server configuration.
 * Localisation updates.
