v5.0.0

Version 5 is a major rewrite of the LinKTitles extension. The code is
now much better organized, and it included automatic (unit) testing,
which will greatly facilitate future maintenance and development.

Namespace support was overhauled, and a couple of breaking changes
were introduced in this version. Most notably, the
$wgLinkTitlesNamespaces configuration variable was removed and
replaced with $wgLinKTitlesSourceNamespaces,
$wgLinkTitlesTargetNamespaces, and $wgLinkTitlesSameNamespace.
$wgLinKTitlesTimeLimit was renamed to
$wgLinkTitlesSpecialPageReloadAfter.

Version 5 offers more fine-grained control over where to link and what
to link. In addition to the __NOAUTOLINKS__ and
__NOAUTOLINKSTARGET__ magic words, you can have
<autolink>..</autolink> and <noautolink>..</noautolink> tags in your
page source to explicitly include or exclude sections from linking.

Several long-standing bugs were fixed.

Please see the detailed documentation in the README.md file, and the
NEWS file.
