Hi all, it turns out that our recent SMW 1.4.2 release included a last minute code change that makes SMW 1.4.2 incompatible to MediaWiki 1.11, 1.12, and 1.13. While we generally encourage upgrading to recent MediaWiki versions, it is not our intention to break compatibility during a minor release! The problem can be solved by replacing the file ./special/AskSpecial/SMW_SpecialAsk.php shipped with SMW 1.4.2 with the file found at [1]. Users of MW 1.14.0 or greater are not affected.
The problem is due to a lack of coordination among the MediaWiki developers (many people contribute code directly, and they may not be aware of SMW- specific release plans or guidelines), and also to a lack of caution on my part (the change happened on Monday after I had already finished most of my tests for SMW 1.4.2 -- I should have repeated them on the changed code). Our apologies to anyone who was affected. Cheers, Markus [1] http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/REL_1_4_2/specials/AskSpecial/SMW_SpecialAsk_MW1.13.php -- Markus Krötzsch Semantic MediaWiki http://semantic-mediawiki.org http://korrekt.org mar...@semantic-mediawiki.org
