An upgrade to MediaWiki 1.2.3 seems to have gone OK. There were some initial blips with the Special:Recentchanges page, but that seems to be fixed.
This version has some performance improvements and some new features. A couple of interesting things are the new image thumbnail support and the fancy edit toolbar. See the release notes for full details.

North American registered users should update their time preferences due to Daylight Savings Time.
Our software, MediaWiki, records timezones as a numerical offset from Coordinated Universal Time (like '-5 hours'), rather than as a symbolic name ('Eastern Standard Time'). So your time offset doesn't get automatically updated when Daylight Savings Time happens.
Going to the Special:Preferences page and clicking the Fill in from browser button, and saving the changes, should be enough to synch your time correctly again.
