Version 1.7.1 of Semantic MediaWiki is the next minor release after Semantic MediaWiki 1.7.0 that brings a few features and a pile of bugfixes. It does not come with any compatibility changes compared to SMW 1.7.

Upgrading existing installations[edit]

Upgrading SMW 1.6.x and SMW 1.7[edit]

Installations of SMW 1.6.x and 1.7 and can be upgraded by replacing the files, and by running the database update (Special:SMWAdmin or SMW_setup.php script) as usual. Moreover, it is strongly suggested to enable the refresh process to update all data on Special:SMWAdmin when upgrading from 1.6.x. Older versions of SMW can be upgraded in the same way, but there can be more feature changes that require changes of wiki pages. See the current documentation for details on using the current version.

Upgrading SMW 1.5.x[edit]

SMW 1.6.0 introduces a new software dependency (which also applies to all later versions): the Extension "Validator" extension that helps Semantic MediaWiki to validate user-provided parameters. It must be installed for SMW to work. Make sure that you include Validator prior to the inclusion of SMW in your LocalSettings.php. Do note that Validator comes bundled with SMW releases as of version 1.6.0. If you are obtaining the code via svn, you will need to get a checkout of Validator yourself.

Do not forget to also install the extension Validator first and include it in LocalSettings.php prior to SMW with the following line of code. After that you may proceed to upgrade SMW.

require_once( "$IP/extensions/Validator/Validator.php" );


Extensions for SMW versions up to 1.5.* should not be assumed to work with SMW 1.6.0 out of the box. All SMW extensions should be upgraded to versions that are compatible with SMW 1.6. Moreover, some functions changed and pages might need updates (see below). Additional remarks on upgrading older SMW versions are given below.

If not done already, it is suggested to change the inclusion of SMW in LocalSettings.php to the following as described in the installation instructions above:

include_once("$IP/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki.php");


Including SMW_Settings.php as in earlier versions will not longer work.
