| 11 | 11 | MediaWiki 1.8.3 fixes several issues in the Fall 2006 snapshot release: |
| 12 | 12 | * (bug 7831) Regression in AutoAuthenticate hook |
| | 13 | +* Run PHP install version checks on update.php so command-line updaters see |
| | 14 | + new version requirements |
| | 15 | +* Do a check for the PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug, since this is much more disruptive |
| | 16 | + as of MW 1.8 than it used to be. Install or upgrade now aborts with a |
| | 17 | + warning and a request to upgrade. |
