MediaWiki 1.13alpha[edit | edit source]
Upgraded to 1.13alpha in April 2008
Notes[edit | edit source]
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: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
API[edit | edit source]
Full API documentation is available at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API
Online documentation[edit | edit source]
Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is currently being built up on MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain) :

Mailing list[edit | edit source]
A MediaWiki-l mailing list has been set up distinct from the Wikipedia wikitech-l list:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
IRC help[edit | edit source]
There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net
