MediaWiki 1.20

This is the latest alpha version of MediaWiki.

Starting in April 2012, the Wikimedia Foundation started deploying MediaWiki to its projects more often (and almost directly from the master branch) through incremental "wmf"-branches within the 1.20 release cycle. The 1.20.0 stable tarball is expected to come out in summer or fall of 2012 (but one can also stay current on the bleeding-edge through git master).
