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. Feedback is welcome.
