The holiday season is upon us and so a new release with shiny new features is not good enough. In the holiday spirit of giving, you get two for one, only today and only at our place. That's right, Santa is in town and you were all very good boys and girls.

Since our good friends at SourceForge have decided to grant us access to newer servers, we can finally offer you the enhanced experience that is MediaWiki 1.13.

Two peanuts walk into a bar, one was a salted, the other moved NSIS source code repository from CVS to SVN. What does this mean to the peanuts? Nothing. What does this mean to us? FASTER! It also has some cool features that the peanuts would love to discuss with you.

TortoiseSVN can be used to checkout the new source code.
