-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 1.17.1 ==
-
-2011-11-24
-
-This a maintenance and security release of the MediaWiki 1.17 branch.
-
-=== Security changes ===
-* (bug 32276) Skins were generating output using the internal page title which
-  would allow anonymous users to determine wheter a page exists, potentially
-  leaking private data. In fact, the curid and oldid request parameters would
-  allow page titles to be enumerated even when they are not guessable.
-* (bug 32616) action=ajax requests were dispatched to the relevant internal
-  functions without any read permission checks being done. This could lead to
-  data leakage on private wikis.
-
-=== Summary of selected changes in 1.17 ===
-
-Selected changes since MediaWiki 1.16 that may be of interest:
-
-* A new installer has been introduced. It has a wizard-style interface which is
-  translated into many languages. Many shortcomings in the old installer were
-  addressed with this rewrite. Note that it is no longer required for the config
-  directory to be made writable by the webserver. Instead the generated
-  LocalSettings.php file is offered as a download, which you must then upload
-  to the wiki's base directory.
-
-* ResourceLoader, a new framework for delivering client-side resources such as
-  JavaScript and CSS, has been introduced. These resources are now delivered
-  through the new entry point script "load.php", instead of as static files 
-  served directly by the web server. This allows minification, compression and
-  client-side caching to be used more effectively, which should provide a net
-  performance improvement for most users. 
-
-* Category sorting has been improved. 
-** Sorting is now case insensitive.
-** Sub-categories, pages and files can now be paged separately.
-** When several pages are given the same sort key, they sort by their 
-   names instead of randomly.
-
-* The lowest supported version of PHP is now 5.2.3. If necessary, please
-  upgrade PHP prior to upgrading MediaWiki.
-
-=== Changes since 1.17.0 ===
-
-* (bug 29535) Added missing Creative Commons CC0 icon.
-* (bug 29726) Fixed failure to load internationalization messages in 
-  client-side scripts on WebKit-based browsers.
-* Fixed a bug in message transformation where the previous language could leak 
-  into later transformations in the UI language.
-* (bug 29091) Fixed form of native name for Ossetic language (Иронау -> Ирон)
-* Fixed maintenance scripts upgrade1_5.php and rebuildImages.php, they did not
-  work at all since 1.17 beta 1.
-* (bug 29531) Fixed img_auth.php for thumbnails and other filenames with 
-  multiple dots, was broken by the fix for bug 28840.
-* In the maintenance script purgeList.php, fixed a fatal error when a page 
-  title is given, instead of a URL.
-* (bug 19514) Unordered list list-style-image should be IE6-compatible (8-bit).
-* Installer checked for magic_quotes_runtime instead of register_globals.
-* $wgSVGMaxSize is now applied to the smaller of width or height, making very
-  wide pano/timeline/diagram SVGs renderable at saner sizes.
-* (bug 29959) Installer fatal when cURL and allow_url_fopen is disabled and user
-  tries to subsribe to mediawiki-announce.
-* Installer checked for magic_quotes_runtime instead of register_globals
-* (bug 30131) XCache with variable caching disabled no longer used for variable
-  caching (CACHE_ACCEL)
-* (bug 30264) Changed installer-generated LocalSettings.php to use require_once()
-  instead require() for included extensions.
-* (bug 26486) ResourceLoader modules with paths to nonexistent files cause PHP
-  warnings/notices to be thrown
-* (bug 30907) Special:Unusedcategories should sort ascendingly.
-* (bug 30219) The page shown when LocalSettings.php does not exist was broken on
-  Windows servers.
-
-=== Changes since 1.17.0rc1 ===
-
-* Fixed syntax error in generated LocalSettings.php when a non-default user
-  rights profile is chosen.
-* (bug 29399) Fixed PostgreSQL installation when the DB user for installation 
-  is the same as the one for web access. 
-* (bug 29233) Fixed failover for DB slave servers. When a DB slave went down,
-  an error was immediately shown to the user, instead of trying another slave. 
-  Was broken since 1.17 beta 1.
-* (bug 29278) Fixed PHP fatal error when attempting to add text to a page via a 
-  redirect.
-* (bug 29408) Fixed uploads of files with MIME types that aren't detected by 
-  MediaWiki.
-* Removed DEFAULT '' NOT NULL field definitions from Oracle DB schema because 
-  using the DEFAULT value ('') in DML broke Oracle backend as it treats an 
-  empty VARCHAR2 value as NULL. Indexes on Oracle do not require NOT NULL
-  fields.
-
-=== Changes since 1.17 beta 1 ===
-
-* Fixed warning about missing file "password.js".
-* When installing on MySQL, don't attempt to create a new database user if the 
-  same user is used for installation and web access.
-* Fixed SQL query errors in queries with table aliases.
-* (bug 27891) Fixed the "chronology protector", broken since 1.17beta1, which 
-  ensures that when database replication is used, the new version is seen by 
-  the user immediately after they create or edit an article.
-* (bug 28845) Allow PostgreSQL installation using a non-root user account which 
-  has role creation abilities.
-* When installing on PostgreSQL and the install account is the same as the web
-  account, check to make sure that the account has suitable privileges in the 
-  mediawiki schema.
-* (bug 28172) Fixed error in PostgreSQL installation when creating the wiki 
-  sysop account.
-* Fixed an issue with the Oracle installer in cases where the user is different 
-  to the database name.
-* Added "unblockself" to the list of available rights. 
-* In the installer, fixed the "user rights profile" option, it never worked.
-* (bug 29117) Fixed Hebrew localisation of the installer.
-* (bug 28840) Reduce the collateral damage caused by the fix for bug 28235 (XSS
-  on Internet Explorer 6 due to a file extension in the query string) by 
-  reducing the number of URLs that are blocked, and by redirecting the request
-  to a safer URL where possible instead of blocking it. 
-* (bug 28812) Fixed documentation of API action=parse.
-* (bug 28979) Fixed styling of <abbr> and <acronym>.
-* Fixed the error message displayed when you try to create an account by email,
-  but an email address is not given.
-* Fixed JS error due to missing dependency for jquery.suggestions.
-* Exposed $wgExtensionAssetsPath in JavaScript.
-* (bug 28738) Made ResourceLoader support environments with small URL length 
-  limits. The length limit can be configured via $wgResourceLoaderMaxQueryLength,
-  and this is set automatically in the generated LocalSettings.php when the 
-  php.ini variable "suhosin.get.max_value_length" is set. When a URL exceeds 
-  this limit, the request is split up. Also, reduced the average length of 
-  load.php URLs by using a more compact parameter format.
-* (bug 25262) Fix for minification of hardcoded data: URIs in CSS.
-* (bug 25124) Respect $wgStyleDirectory in ResourceLoader.
-* Allow installation when no HTTP client is available, don't throw an exception.
-* (bug 27465) Fix metadata extraction for SVG files using unusual namespace 
-  names.
-* (bug 29174) Fix regression in upload-by-URL: uploading files larger than the 
-  PHP memory limit should work again.
-* Fixed the display of comments in the new user log.
-* (bug 28237) When installing extensions using the web-based installer, create
-  any necessary database tables.
-* (bug 28983) Fixed automated installation of extensions that overwrite $path.
-* Fixed error caused by missing magic words.
-* Fixed breakage of article editing in PostgreSQL due to text search
-  configuration errors.
-* Fixed the HTTPS client used when Curl is not available. This avoids an error
-  during install about failure of the mediawiki-announce subscription.
-* (bug 28162) When installing to PostgreSQL, respect the "database port" input,
-  it was ignored.
-
-=== Configuration changes in 1.17 ===
-
-* $wgLogAutocreatedAccounts controls whether autocreation of accounts is logged
-  to new users log.
-* (bug 22858) $wgLocalStylePath is by default set to the same value as
-  $wgStylePath but should never point to a different domain than the site is
-  on, allowing skins to use .htc files which are not cross-domain friendly.
-* $wgFileStore has been deprecated. The only usage $wgFileStore['deleted'] has
-  been turned into $wgDeletedDirectory.
-* $wgDeletedDirectory has been added to specify what directory to place deleted
-  uploads in.
-* IBM DB2 database no longer uses the db specific $wgDBport_db2 variable but the
-  normal $wgDBport.
-* $wgCategoryPrefixedDefaultSortkey was removed and is now always false.  This
-  provides more sensible sorting behavior for categories.
-* Removed unused globals: $wgEnableSerializedMessages, $wgCheckSerialized,
-  $wgUseMemCached, $wgDisableSearchContext, $wgColorErrors, $wgUseZhdaemon,
-  $wgZhdaemonHost and $wgZhdaemonPort.
-* (bug 24408) The include_path is not modified in the default LocalSettings.php
-* $wgVectorExtraStyles was removed, and is no longer in use.

-  available as input for other configuration items, either.
-* It's no longer necessary for LocalSettings.php to include DefaultSettings.php.
-* It's no longer necessary to set $wgCacheEpoch to the file modification time
-  of LocalSettings.php, in LocalSettings.php itself. Instead, this is done
-  automatically if $wgInvalidateCacheOnLocalSettingsChange is true (which is
-  the default).
-* $wgCopyrightIcon is deprecated and $wgFooterIcons['copyright']['copyright'] 
-  should be used instead.
-* $wgSysopUserBans is deprecated, and will be made permanently true in 1.18.
-  If you need this functionality, you should use the BlockIp hook to filter and
-  reject such blocks.
-* $wgSysopRangeBans is deprecated, you should set $wgBlockCIDRLimit to maximum
-  (32 for IPv4, 128 for IPv6), equivalent to allowing rangeblocks of only 1
-  address at a time.

-== Upgrading ==
-
-1.17 has several database changes since 1.16, and will not work without schema
-updates.
-
-If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons repository,
-make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise due to
-database schema changes.
-
-If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
-new database fields are filled with data.
-
-If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
-changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
-break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
-
-See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
-
-For notes on 1.16.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
-
