Media-wiki 1.6 or default parameters

Hello All.

Is it safe to upgrade to 1.6?
There is one advantage I really need - the "Default
Parameter".

And if it is safe - where can I download it from?
I've searched the CVS and found only till 1.5.8...

Thanks ahead!

Peleg.

If running less than the current 1.4 or 1.5 release, upgrade
to the
latest releases within those branches regardless of moving
to 1.6.

Perhaps this was not Rob's intention, but I thought I would
find on this
page specific information about features or changes in 1.6. 
But no...

Nor were the following logical destinations any help:

http://m
eta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.6
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_feature_list
http
://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_roadmap
http
://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Development_tasks

... And in this particular case, Google was _not_ my friend.

I finally downloaded the HEAD from CVS, and found the
RELEASE-NOTES
document, with 526 listed changes (and some requests for
"filling in" of
additional changes by developers).

An easier way (I discovered later  is to
browse the RELEASE-NOTES at

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p
y/wikipedia/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES?view=ma
rkup

This is a pointer to the HEAD (latest) version.

Maybe this will save somebody some time.
