The second release candidate for 1.23.0 (1.23.0-rc.1) is now available
for download.
Note that we're making two changes in the release process:
1. We'll be making this and all future releases on Wednesday instead of
Thursday or Friday. This will allow people to avoid late Friday
nights.
2. We're switching to Semantic Versioning (http://semver.org) for the
release candidates and other releases.
The changes since 1.23.0rc0 are as follows:
* Added pp_sortkey column to page_props table, so pages can be efficiently
queried and sorted by property value (bug 58032).
* Introduced $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey as a backwards-compatibility switch,
for using the old schema of the page_props table, in case the respective
schema update was not applied.
* (bug 13250) Restored method for clearing a watchlist in web UI
so that users with large watchlists don't have to perform
contortions to clear them.
* (bug 63269) Email notifications were not correctly handling the
[[MediaWiki:Helppage]] message being set to a full URL (the default).
If you customized [[MediaWiki:Enotif body]] (the text of email
notifications),
you'll need to edit it locally to include the URL via the new variable
$HELPPAGE instead of the parser functions fullurl and canonicalurl; otherwise
you don't have to do anything.
* $wgProfileToDatabase was removed. Set $wgProfiler to ProfilerSimpleDB
in StartProfiler.php instead of using this.
* The fix for bug 14323 was pushed to MediaWiki 1.24 since the
changes cause problems for Semantic MediaWiki users.
* The modules intended for use by custom skins were renamed.
