btw, without the autoloader entries from r82445, this commit makes update.php die with a fatal Class 'PopulateLogUsertext' not found.
This also added to MysqlUpdater.php:
179 // 1.18 180 array( 'doUserNewTalkTimestampNotNull' ),
Presumably that was not supposed to be merged into REL1_17? If it was it will need the rest of r84185 (Specificly the patch file for the db changes).
(Mentioned by GreenReaper on irc).
+ // This is the absolute minimum PHP version we can support + const MINIMUM_PHP_VERSION = '5.2.3';
I don't think this requirement was supposed to go into 1.17, but I could be wrong.
AFAIR 1.17 requires 5.1.0+, and 1.18 will require 5.2.3.
