What next?
Stay up to date with releases, and keep your server secure!
Latest development version
If you want to run on the latest development version, you either have to use subversion or download nightly dump.
PHP 4
MediaWiki requires PHP 5. If you are using PHP 4, upgrade now! It's no longer supported by the PHP group, and has lots of bugs.
Many shared hosting providers offer both PHP 4 and PHP 5, running simultaneously. Ask your provider if they can do this.
If for some reason, you really really need to run MediaWiki on PHP 4, you should use the MediaWiki 1.6.x branch from 2006:

Old branches
If your MediaWiki installation is heavily modified, it may be difficult to incorporate the latest official changes/updates to MediaWiki. To support such users, we maintain old branches of our code for up to a year.
Archive
You can find downloads of all versions of MediaWiki back to February 2007 on our download server:
Even older versions can be found in Subversion, in the tags directory.
