MediaWiki 1.11

I just saw Brion Vibber archiving the MediaWiki trunk into the 1_11 branch, which means a 1.11 release candidate will be released very soon. Keep an eye on MediaWiki.org. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:31, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

About time! :-) Better late than never, I suppose. Speaking of which, the new bot API is being rolled out... are there any working bots that can be used with that API yet? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:34, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Not that I know of. The query part of the API has grown a lot since 1.10, but the state-changing part is still under heavy development, and is unlikely to be included in the final 1.11 release. When I'm done writing my part of the state-changing stuff (everything except edit, upload and register, which is done by 5 Vodafone employees), I'll start writing a graphical interface for the API, which can also be run as a bot. But those are long-term plans right now. Meanwhile, Brion has his tarball ready, and 1.11.0rc1 will appear on MediaWiki.org any minute now. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:50, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

It's there. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 16:31, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Wow, 1.11.0 stable has arrived already. For upgrade instructions see here. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 14:30, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

RSS issues

Over at Lillian's page, I'm wondering if I haven't encountered some limitation of the RSS feed reader. The images that are displaying aren't the most recent, despite the fact that the rss feed appears updated. I tried the whole edit->save thing to force a refresh, but no dice. I just can't tell if this is some bug or if I'm just being dumb. This is obviously very low priority. --Steelviper 14:48, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

Yes, I see it. I am having issues with the RSS extension myself. Also, I'm trying to get it working on EWiki, so we can include VisitEureka.net's RSS newsfeed. But I'm running into problems. I'm looking into troubleshooting the problem and finding a different RSS extension. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:11, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

Maybe this? --Steelviper 12:19, 11 September 2007 (CDT)
