This version of the VisualEditor extension requires MediaWiki 1.25+

Hi. I get this error: "This version of the VisualEditor extension requires MediaWiki 1.25+". I have 1.26 installed. It seems to be that it doesn't like the wfLoadExtension instruction, because any extension with that in it, gives me the same error. I'm certain I have MediaWiki 1.26 because I downloaded it from the MediaWiki.org site. If I edit the VisualEditor.php file and replace 'die' with 'echo' and put return-true after that, it lets me use the site BUT the editing toolbar is totally gone.

My Localsettings file context:

# alternative editors

#require_once "$IP/extensions/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php";

require_once "$IP/extensions/VisualEditor/VisualEditor.php";

// Enable by default for everybody

$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1;

// Don't allow users to disable it

$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';

$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] = array(

// URL to the Parsoid instance

// Use port 8142 if you use the Debian package

'url' => 'http://localhost:8000',

// Parsoid "domain", see below (optional)

'domain' => 'localhost',

// Parsoid "prefix", see below (optional)

'prefix' => 'localhost'

);

parsoid and node.js are installed (the latter from RPM), and parsoid is running on port 8000. If I look at Special:Version it doesn't list the extension despite the require_once.
