== Compability with MediaWiki ==
Due to required [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks Hooks], Woogle4MediaWiki requires [http://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki] in a version >= 1.11.0. It should be theoretically possible to make (parts of) Woogle compatible with earlier versions of MediaWiki by modifying the sources.

Woogle is currently tested up to MediaWiki version 1.15.3, 1.16.0b2 and 1.17.0alpha (r63248) (which are the recent version as of 2010-04-27). There is no fundamental reason, why it should not work with future versions of MediaWiki, although we can not gurantee that.

Other explicit version were are/were developing/testing with (incomplete list):
* MediaWiki 1.11.0 
* MediaWiki 1.13.3
* MediaWiki 1.14.0
* MediaWiki 1.15.0

'''Note''': for Woogle 1.0.0 (RC2) there are smaller issues when using the recently released MediaWiki 1.16.0 with a language code different than "en" or "de". This, as well as some incompatiblities with older Browsers (IE7, Opera <9.5) will be fixed soon (c.f. http://octopus13.fzi.de:8080/browse/WOO-454).

== Compability with Web servers/PHP/mySQL ==
Woogle should work fine in any server environment in which the embedding MediaWiki works. In particular, we are using the following environments (incomplete list):
* CentOS Linux machine (Apache / PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler) / MySQL: 5.0.45)
* Windows 2000 Server (Apache / PHP 5.2.6 (apache2handler) / MySQL 5.0.45-community-nt)
* Windows Vista (ApacheFriends XAMPP version 1.7.0 / PHP 5.2.8 (apache2handler) / mySQL 5.1.30-community)

== Compatibility with Web browsers ==
Woogle core features have been successfully tested with:
* Firefox (3.6)
* Internet Explorer (8.0.6001.18904)
* Opera (10.10 Build 1893)
* Chrome (4.1.249.1045 (42898))
* Safari
