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.
