Upgrades, past, present and planned.

2010-10-17

As of 2010-10-12, these are the software and versions we're running.

Questions to answer for each:

  1. Is this in use?
  2. Are there upgrades available?
  3. Do the upgrades conflict with current or targeted versions of other software?
  • MediaWiki 1.15.3
  • MultiCategorySearch 1.35, with modifications by User:Opticron.
    • Currently, yes, this is used a lot. Namely, as part of Template:Unimpl Page. Modifying that template to leverage SMW instead would be nice, but SMW doesn't support set exclusions involving categories, so things like Template:Example and Template:Task would need to apply semantic properties in addition to categories, so that the SMW query could operate on those properties, instead of categories.
    • Versions 1.4 and 1.5 are available. No obvious conflicts. May require editing by User:Opticron to include inline queries.
  • Special:Interwiki r47067
    • Yes, used very much.
    • r32289 is current svn version number. No idea if there are any changes.
  • WebChat 1.0.0
    • Occasionally
    • No new version.
  • Cite Version r47190
    • Don't know.
    • 74711 is current svn version number. Don't know if there are any changes.
  • GeSHi CodeTag 1.65, liberally edited and rewritten by User:Short Circuit. It's nearly a completely different extension by now.
  • IpbWiki PayPal 1.02
    • Yes, for donations.
    • No new version.
  • ParserFunctions (no version number at Special:Version?
  • Semantic MediaWiki 1.5.1.1
    • Yes
    • SMW 1.5.2 is available. No obvious conflicts.
  • AmazonPlus 0.5.2
    • No. There's a bug in MediaWiki template processing that prevents AmazonPlus from being usable within templates.
    • No new version.
  • ConfirmEdit Version r36959
    • Yes, as part of CAPTCHAs.
    • Current svn trunk is r32289. Don't know if there are any changes.
  • TextLink Ads (Version 0.9) (written entirely by User:Short Circuit)
    • Yes, on a couple pages, but it's not proven useful. The extension itself selectively pulls in and executes PHP files based on page name, though, so it has broader utility and may be used for other things.
    • No new version.
