Patch still required for MW 1.25

The installation section mentions that MW before 1.25 requires patching. But patching is still required for MW 1.25.

Patch file for MW 1.25.1

It would be handy to have something like a MW_1.25.patch file in the repo to be able to apply the patches with provisioning tools.

Diff Hiding

I recently ported this into a wiki running MW1.26, i'm looking into a way to hide the inbuilt diff's in favor of the WikEdDiff. I've tried using display:none!important on the relevant <td class=" "> but this visually blanks the diff's in the same way that would normally occur when hiding them using .css Is there a way to do this using either .js or .css?
