Vector breaks MediaWiki 1.24

Description

I just updated my MediaWiki installation to version 1.24 and installed Vector from git. It breaks the page with a fatal PHP error. I have the Vector extension installed and up to date.

My Apache error log says (slightly anonymized):

[Thu Nov 27 10:55:23 2014] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method VectorTemplate::getIndicators() in /.../wiki/skins/Vector/VectorTemplate.php on line 105, referer: http://nordiclarp.org/wiki/Main_Page

My temporary fix is to comment out the php running the getIndicators method.

run git reset --hard origin/REL1_24 in skins/Vector, as the master branch has commits which only work in future versions of mediawiki.

I downloaded the zip file from the master branch and copied it into the skins folder and it worked. Tested on two new setup MW installations (1.24) in a VM (LM Qiana Mate with)

Running a stable MW version in combination with git master is not supported in general. Closing as invalid.

That really solved the problem ...

edit: 2014-12-04
I tried git reset --hard origin/REL1_24 as well, instead of downloading and cp it into /skins.
It worked... thanks.

This solved things. Thank you. Documentation was really unclear on what the proper procedure to get the theme in place.
