Semantic MediaWiki 4.1.0 released
Posted on 2023-01-21 by Jeroen De Dauw
We released Semantic MediaWiki 4.1. Learn what changes it brings.
As maintainers of Semantic MediaWiki (SMW), we are responsible for releasing new versions. Today we released version 4.1, the 65th release of SMW. This release follows SMW 4.0.2, which was released on July 21st 2022.
Semantic MediaWiki 4.1 is a minor release. It contains new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Because it is a minor release, it does not contain any breaking changes, does not require running the update.php script, and does not drop support for older versions of MediaWiki.

Upgrading
We recommend that everyone running older versions of SMW upgrades. Especially if you are running SMW 4.0.1 or older, as these versions contain a known security vulnerability.
No need to run "update.php" or any other migration scripts.
Get the new version via Composer:
- Step 1: if you are upgrading from SMW older than 4.0.0, ensure the SMW version in
composer.json
is^4.1.0
- Step 2: run composer in your MediaWiki directory:
composer update --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
Get the new version via Git:
This is only for those that have installed SMW via Git.
- Step 1: do a
git pull
in the SemanticMediaWiki directory - Step 2: run
composer update --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
in the MediaWiki directory
