Update Information:
Changes since 1.26.1 * (bug T121892) Various special pages resulted in fatal
errors. Changes since 1.26.0 * (bug T117899) SECURITY: $wgArticlePath can no
longer be set to relative paths that do not begin with a slash. This enabled
trivial XSS attacks. Configuration values such as “http://my.wiki.com/wiki/$1”
are fine, as are “/wiki/$1”. A value such as “$1” or “wiki/$1” is not and will
now throw an error * (bug T119309) SECURITY: Use hash_compare() for edit token
comparison * (bug T118032) SECURITY: Don’t allow cURL to interpret POST
parameters starting with ‘@’ as file uploads * (bug T115522) SECURITY: Passwords
generated by User::randomPassword() can no longer be shorter than
$wgMinimalPasswordLength * (bug T97897) SECURITY: Improve IP parsing and
trimming. Previous behavior could result in improper blocks being issued * (bug
T109724) SECURITY: Special:MyPage, Special:MyTalk, Special:MyContributions and
related pages no longer use HTTP redirects and are now redirected by MediaWiki *
Fixed ConfigException in ExpandTemplates due to AlwaysUseTidy. * Fixed stray
literal \n in Special:Search. * Fix issue that breaks HHVM Repo Authorative
mode. * (bug T120267) Work around APCu memory corruption bug
