You caught me in the middle of changing the API to access the DB globals.
$GLOBALS['DBParams'] and $GLOBALS['DBAuthParams'] are gone.
DB_Session was renamed to DbSession.

As soon as this is fully tested (as always: it works for me, ...), 
1.3.11 will be released.
With some minor pending additions:
   edit toolbar icons,
   wikilens stuff: 2h work and some discussion with dfrankow.
                   some fixes and a lot of new files.

You can see that at http://phpwiki.sf.net/phpwiki/PhpWikiSites

Use a release, with some minor recommended patches (if you need that),
but not a CVS since May 27. (though it works on sf.net and for me)
Today is such a good weather, it was raining the last whole week, so I 
will make a break now.
