Markus Krötzsch <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED Summary|Special:Ask throws error |Special:Ask in SMW 1.4.2 | |incompatible with MediaWiki | |<=1.13 --- Comment #5 from Markus Krötzsch <[email protected]> 2009-02-13 13:43:59 UTC --- SMW 1.4 has been compatible with MW 1.11 and above, and it is not our policy to break MW compatibility in minor releases. In any case, the INSTALL file does not reflect this requirement. I have now released a workaround based on replacing the Special_Ask file with the previous revision, available at http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/REL_1_4_2/specials/AskSpecial/SMW_SpecialAsk_MW1.13.php (see also http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMW_1.4.2). Siebrand: I suggest that we try to find some better way of communication among developers in order to avoid such confusions. Is it viable for you to preserve MediaWiki version compatibility of SMW in general, or at least to discuss major requirement changes with us? before committing? We certainly would not want to loose your contributions to the project based on impractical requirements from our side. Do you think that the next major release of SMW should drop all MW <=1.13 compatibility? (Are all major sites updated yet?) We can take this discussion to email, if you like. I will close this bug by either changeing our requirements for the future, or by modifying special ask to work with MW 1.13 again.
