21/03/2008: MediaWiki 1.12.0
Yesterday, I got a mail of MediaWiki that the new version of MediaWiki was released, MediaWiki 1.12.0. This was because that there weren't any bugs reported in the RC.
So, today, I upgraded the site to this new version. This compared to a downtime of around 30 minutes.
You can find the release notes of MediaWiki 1.12.0 here.
08/03/2008: MediaWiki 1.11.2
On the 3th of this month, I got an e-mail that there was a new version of MediaWiki. I thought that it would taken too much time, so I wanted to do it in the weekend.
But, I forgot that I could upgrade with patch, an UNIX/Linux application, which makes it very simple to patch the whole system in a few minutes. In case of this patch system, there was no downtime.

02/03/2008: Game Section 1.1.9
Today, I released Game Section 1.1.9. This contains the changes which makes the Game Section compatible with the configurable admin-directories.
But the most important change is the one of the session system. The last versions, the Game Section ran with the PHP Sessions, but there were some problem with that. The most where fixed, but in some cases, there are still problems.
So the system is changed. Now, there is an own system of sessions. The variables are saved in a field of the MyBB session-table. This must to works in each situation.
27/01/2008: Game Section 1.1.8
