MediaWiki 1.2.6 released

MediaWiki is the collaborative editing software that runs Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and other projects. It's designed to handle a large number of users and pages without imposing too rigid a structure or workflow.

Changes since 1.2.5:
* Spam blocker ($wgSpamRegex - refuses to save edits that match)
* Updated documentation about $wgWhitelistRead
* Ensure that searchindex table is created as MyISAM
* Interwiki cache timeout (memcached)
* Fix uploads on Windows with magic_quotes_gpc
* Some config fixes for Windows (slashes etc)
* Local interwiki URL redirects
* Fixed obscure deletion problem in squid mode on corrupt entries
* Language files updated to remove more hard-coded "Wikipedia" strings

There are no database format changes.

See the release notes for MediaWiki.
