  • MediaWiki 1.3.8 is a bugfix release. Those running wikis with uploads enabled are strongly recommended to upgrade as this fixes several problems with overwriting previously-uploaded files.
  • (Users already running 1.3.7 who want only the upload fix need copy in only the updated SpecialUpload.php. However including all updated files is recommended as there are a number of other bug fixes.)
  • Changes from 1.3.7:
    • (bug 506) fix array_key_exists() warning for IIS servers using ISAPI mode
    • (bug 718) fix bad charset in (file) cached pages
    • use local numerals in category page (for Hindi et al)
    • alias month abbreviations to month names in Hindi
    • add localized numerals for Gujarati and Kannada
    • fix Category and project namespaces for Hindi
    • Don't output bogus timestamp on Special:Recentchanges if no entries
    • Correct template include path which broke some but not all Windows installs
    • Fix edit form submission problem with some PHP versions
    • Disallow unreachable titles with %XX hex codes
    • Allow page 0 to be renamed
    • (bug 774) when saving with section=new, return to the anchor as with existing numbered section edits
    • Experimental shared upload overlay area (disabled by default)
    • (bug 806) Removed some "Wikipedia" hardcoding in German localization
    • User option localization fix for some extensions
    • (bug 809) now try to load the mysql php extension if it isn't loaded
    • (bug 848) fix error message in Special:Newpages RSS and Atom feeds
    • (bug 26) fix cache headers on anon talk page notification
    • (bug 874) added 'cgi' to wgFileBlacklist
    • (bug 862) localize date and time format for Finnish
    • (bug 548) Don't overwrite images until the user confirms it
