  1. Change notes from older releases. For current info see RELEASE-NOTES-1.30.
  2. = MediaWiki 1.29 =
  3. == MediaWiki 1.29.0 ==
  4. === Configuration changes in 1.29 ===
  5. * Default cookie expiration time has been reduced to 30 days. Login cookie
  6. expiration time is kept at 180 days.
  7. * A new configuration variable has been added: $wgCookieSetOnAutoblock. This
  8. determines whether to set a cookie when a user is autoblocked. Doing so means
  9. that a blocked user, even after logging out and moving to a new IP address,
  10. will still be blocked.
  11. * The resetpassword right and associated password reset capture feature has
  12. been removed.
  13. * The $error parameter to the EmailUser hook should be set to a Status object
  14. or boolean false. This should be compatible with at least MediaWiki 1.23 if
  15. not earlier. Returning a raw HTML string is now deprecated.
  16. * The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
  17. ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
  18. code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
  19. * ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
  20. result in a PHP fatal error.
  21. * $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo is now true by default to work around restrictive DMARC
  22. policies.
  23. * Subpages are now enabled by default in the Template namespace. Set
  24. $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_TEMPLATE] to false to keep the old behavior.
  25. * $wgRunJobsAsync is now false by default (T142751). This change only affects
  26. wikis with $wgJobRunRate > 0.
  27. * (T158474) "Unknown user" has been added to $wgReservedUsernames.
  28. * (T156983) $wgRateLimitsExcludedIPs now accepts CIDR ranges as well as single IPs.
  29. * $wgDummyLanguageCodes is deprecated. Additional language code mappings may be
  30. added to $wgExtraLanguageCodes instead.
  31. * (T161453) LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory in it's
  32. fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
  33. * The user right 'editusercssjs' (deprecated in 1.16) was removed. Use
  34. 'editusercss' and 'edituserjs' in $wgGroupPermissions and elsewhere instead.
  35. === New features in 1.29 ===
  36. * (T5233) A cookie can now be set when a user is autoblocked, to track that user
  37. if they move to a new IP address. This is disabled by default.
  38. * Added ILocalizedException interface to standardize the use of localized
  39. exceptions, largely so the API can handle them more sensibly.
  40. * Blocks created automatically by MediaWiki, such as for configured proxies or
  41. dnsbls, are now indicated as such and use a new i18n message when displayed.
  42. * Added new $wgHTTPImportTimeout setting. Sets timeout for
  43. downloading the XML dump during a transwiki import in seconds.
  44. * Parser limit report is now available in machine-readable format to JavaScript
  45. via mw.config.get('wgPageParseReport').
  46. * Added $wgSoftBlockRanges, to allow for automatically blocking anonymous edits
  47. from certain IP ranges (e.g. private IPs).
  48. * (T59603) Added new magic word {{PAGELANGUAGE}} which returns the language code
  49. of the page being parsed.
  50. * HTML5 form validation attributes will no longer be suppressed. Originally
  51. browsers had poor support for them, but modern browsers handle them fine.
  52. This might affect some forms that used them and only worked because the
  53. attributes were not actually being set.
  54. * Expiry times can now be specified when users are added to user groups.
  55. * Completely new user interface for the RecentChanges page, which
  56. structures filters into user-friendly groups. This has corresponding
  57. changes to how filters are registered by core and extensions.
  58. * The edit form now uses pretty OOjs UI buttons, checkboxes and summary input.
  59. Because this change can cause problems for extensions and on-wiki
  60. scripts depending on the exact HTML, the old version is still available
  61. and can be used by setting $wgOOUIEditPage = false; in LocalSettings.php.
  62. This will be removed later and OOjs UI will become the only option.
  63. To make testing easier, users can also force either mode by adding
  64. &ooui=true or &ooui=false to the action=edit URL.
  65. === External library changes in 1.29 ===

  79. ==== Removed and replaced external libraries ====
  80. === Bug fixes in 1.29 ===
  81. * (T62604) Core parser functions returning a number now format the number according
  82. to the page content language, not wiki content language.
  83. * (T27187) Search suggestions based on jquery.suggestions will now correctly only
  84. highlight prefix matches in the results.

  87. * (T160519) CACHE_ANYTHING will not be CACHE_ACCEL if no accelerator is installed.
  88. * (T109140) (T122209) SECURITY: Special:UserLogin and Special:Search allow redirect
  89. to interwiki links.
  90. * (T144845) SECURITY: XSS in SearchHighlighter::highlightText() when
  91. $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting is true.
  92. * (T125177) SECURITY: API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep
  93. their values out of the logs.
  94. * (T150044) SECURITY: "Mark all pages visited" on the watchlist now requires a CSRF
  95. token.
  96. * (T156184) SECURITY: Escape content model/format url parameter in message.
  97. * (T151735) SECURITY: SVG filter evasion using default attribute values in DTD
  98. declaration.
  99. * (T161453) SECURITY: LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory
  100. in it's fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
  101. * (T48143) SECURITY: Spam blacklist ineffective on encoded URLs inside file inclusion
  102. syntax's link parameter.
  103. * (T108138) SECURITY: Sysops can undelete pages, although the page is protected against
  104. it.
  105. === Action API changes in 1.29 ===
  106. * Submitting sensitive authentication request parameters to action=login,
  107. action=clientlogin, action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and
  108. action=changeauthenticationdata in the query string is now an error. They
  109. should be submitted in the POST body instead.
  110. * The capture option for action=resetpassword has been removed
  111. * action=clearhasmsg now requires a POST.
  112. * (T47843) API errors and warnings may be requested in non-English languages
  113. using the new 'errorformat', 'errorlang', and 'errorsuselocal' parameters.
  114. * API error codes may have changed. Most notably, errors from modules using
  115. parameter prefixes (e.g. all query submodules) will no longer be prefixed.
  116. * ApiPageSet-using modules will report the 'invalidreason' using the specified
  117. 'errorformat'.
  118. * action=emailuser may return a "Warnings" status, and now returns 'warnings' and
  119. 'errors' subelements (as applicable) instead of 'message'.
  120. * action=imagerotate returns an 'errors' subelement rather than 'errormessage'.
  121. * action=move now reports errors when moving the talk page as an array under
  122. key 'talkmove-errors', rather than using 'talkmove-error-code' and
  123. 'talkmove-error-info'. The format for subpage move errors has also changed.
  124. * action=revisiondelete no longer includes a "rendered" property on warnings
  125. and errors for each item. Use errorformat=wikitext if you're wanting parsed
  126. output.
  127. * action=rollback no longer returns a "messageHtml" property. Use
  128. errorformat=html if you're wanting HTML formatting of error messages.
  129. * action=upload now reports optional stash failures as an array under key
  130. 'stasherrors' rather than a 'stashfailed' text string.
  131. * action=watch reports 'errors' and 'warnings' instead of a single 'error', and
  132. no longer returns a 'message' on success.
  133. * Added action=validatepassword to validate passwords for the account creation
  134. and password change forms.
  135. * action=purge now requires a POST.
  136. * There is a new `languagevariants` siprop for action=query&meta=siteinfo,
  137. which returns a list of languages with active LanguageConverter instances.
  138. * action=query&query=allpages will no longer filter redirects using a database
  139. query in miser mode. This may result in less results being returned than were
  140. requested.
  141. === Action API internal changes in 1.29 ===
  142. * New methods were added to ApiBase to handle errors and warnings using i18n
  143. keys. Methods for using hard-coded English messages were deprecated:
  144. * ApiBase::dieUsage() was deprecated
  145. * ApiBase::dieUsageMsg() was deprecated
  146. * ApiBase::dieUsageMsgOrDebug() was deprecated
  147. * ApiBase::getErrorFromStatus() was deprecated
  148. * ApiBase::parseMsg() was deprecated
  149. * ApiBase::setWarning() was deprecated
  150. * ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
  151. result in a PHP fatal error.
  152. * The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
  153. ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
  154. code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
  155. * UsageException is deprecated in favor of ApiUsageException. For the time
  156. being ApiUsageException is a subclass of UsageException to allow things that
  157. catch only UsageException to still function properly.
  158. * If, for some strange reason, code was using an ApiErrorFormatter instead of
  159. ApiErrorFormatter_BackCompat, note that the result format has changed and
  160. various methods now take a module path rather than a module name.
  161. * ApiMessageTrait::getApiCode() now strips 'apierror-' and 'apiwarn-' prefixes
  162. from the message key, and maps some message keys for backwards compatibility.
  163. * API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep their values out of
  164. the logs.
  165. === Languages updated in 1.29 ===
  166. MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
  167. regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
  168. changes to languages because of Phabricator reports.
  169. * Based as always on linguistic studies on intelligibility and language
  170. knowledge by geography, language fallbacks have been expanded. When a
  171. translation is missing in the user's preferred interface language, the
  172. corresponding translation for the fallback language will be used instead.
  173. English will only be used as last resort when there are no translations.
  174. Some configurations (such as date formats and gender namespaces) have also
  175. been updated when using the fallback language's configuration was inadequate.
  176. The new or reinstated language fallbacks are (after cs ↔ sk in 1.28):
  177. ca ↔ oc; hsb ↔ dsb; io → eo; mdf → ru; pnt → el; roa-tara → it; rup → ro;
  178. sh → bs, sr-el, hr.
  179. * (T137376) New language support: Atikamekw (atj).
  180. * (T163600) New language support: Dinka (din).
  181. * (T155957) Talk Namespaces for Javanese language (jv) have been updated.
  182. ==== No fallback for Ukrainian ====
  183. * (T39314) The fallback from Ukrainian to Russian was removed. The Ukrainian
  184. language will now use the default fallback language: English. When a translation
  185. to Ukrainian is not available, an English string will be shown.
  186. === Other changes in 1.29 ===
  187. * Database::getSearchEngine() (deprecated in 1.28) was removed. Use
  188. SearchEngineFactory::getSearchEngineClass() instead.
  189. * $wgSessionsInMemcached (deprecated in 1.20) was removed. No replacement is
  190. required as all sessions are stored in Object Cache now.
  191. * MWHttpRequest::execute() should be considered to return a StatusValue; the
  192. Status return type is deprecated.
  193. * User::edits() (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
  194. * Xml::escapeJsString() (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
  195. * Article::getText() and Article::prepareTextForEdit() (deprecated in 1.21)

  209. * Class FSRepo (deprecated in 1.19) was removed.
  210. * WebRequest::checkSessionCookie() (deprecated in 1.27) was removed. Use
  211. \MediaWiki\Session\SessionManager::singleton()->getPersistedSessionId() instead.
  212. * Class ImageGallery (deprecated in 1.22) was removed.
  213. Use ImageGalleryBase::factory instead.
  214. * Title::moveNoAuth() (deprecated in 1.25) was removed. Use MovePage class instead.

  224. and outdated lists of errors/warnings returned by the API, are now deprecated.
  225. * wiki.phtml entry point was removed. Refer to index.php instead. If you want "wiki.phtml"
  226. URLs to continue to work, set up redirects. In Apache, this can be done by enabling
  227. mod_rewrite and adding the following rules to your configuration:
  228. RewriteEngine On
  229. RewriteBase /
  230. RewriteRule ^/w/wiki\.phtml$ /w/index.php [R=301,L]
  231. * Hook ArticleAfterFetchContent (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
  232. Use ArticleAfterFetchContentObject instead.
  233. * Hook ArticleInsertComplete (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
  234. Use PageContentInsertComplete instead.
  235. * Hook ArticleSave (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
  236. Use PageContentSave instead.
  237. * Hook ArticleSaveComplete (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.

  243. * Hook TitleIsCssOrJsPage (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
  244. Use ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor instead.
  245. * Hook TitleIsWikitextPage (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.

  248. * Revision::getText() (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
  249. * Article::doEdit() and WikiPage::doEdit() (deprecated in 1.21) were removed.
  250. * Parser::replaceUnusualEscapes() (deprecated in 1.24) was removed.
  251. * Article::doEditContent() was marked as deprecated, to be removed in 1.30
  252. or later.
  253. * ContentHandler::runLegacyHooks() was removed.
  254. * refreshLinks.php now can be limited to a particular category with --category=...
  255. or a tracking category with --tracking-category=...
  256. * User-like objects that are passed to SpecialUserRights and its subclasses are
  257. now required to have a getGroupMemberships() method. See UserRightsProxy for
  258. an example.
  259. * User::$mGroups (instance variable) was marked private. Use User::getGroups()
  260. instead.
  261. * User::getGroupName(), User::getGroupMember(), User:getGroupPage(),
  262. User::makeGroupLinkHTML(), and User::makeGroupLinkWiki() were deprecated.
  263. Use equivalent methods on the UserGroupMembership class.
  264. * Maintenance scripts and tests that call User::addGroup() must now ensure that
  265. User objects have been added to the database prior to calling addGroup().
  266. * Protected function UsersPager::getGroups() was removed, and protected function
  267. UsersPager::buildGroupLink() was changed from a static to an instance method.
  268. * The third parameter ($cache) to the UsersPagerDoBatchLookups hook was changed;
  269. see docs/hooks.txt.
  270. * User::crypt() (deprecated in 1.24) was removed.
  271. * User::comparePasswords() (deprecated in 1.24) was removed.
  272. * ArchivedFile::getUserText() (deprecated in 1.23) was removed.
  273. * HTMLFileCache::newFromTitle() (deprecated in 1.24) was removed.
  274. * BREAKING CHANGE: Internal signature changes to ChangesListSpecialPage
  275. and subclasses. It should only break if you call buildMainQueryConds
  276. (changed to buildQuery with new signature) or doMainQuery (new
  277. signature). Subclasses are likely to call at least doMainQuery
  278. (possibly both), but other classes might too, because they were
  279. public.
  280. Also, some related hooks were deprecated, but this is not yet a
  281. breaking change.
  282. * Removed 'jquery.arrowSteps' module. (deprecated since 1.28)
  283. * The 'jquery.autoEllipsis' ResourceLoader module is now deprecated.
  284. * WikiRevision::$fileIsTemp was deprecated.
  285. * WikiRevision::$importer was deprecated.
  286. * WikiRevision::$user was deprecated.
  287. * Article::getLastPurgeTimestamp(), WikiPage::getLastPurgeTimestamp(), and the
  288. WikiPage::PURGE_* constants are deprecated, and the functions will always
  289. return false. They were a hack for an issue that has since been fixed.
  290. * Hook 'EditPageBeforeEditChecks' is now deprecated. Instead use the new hook
  291. 'EditPageGetCheckboxesDefinition', or 'EditPage::showStandardInputs:options'
  292. if you don't actually care about checkboxes and just want to add some HTML
  293. to the page.
  294. * Selflinks are now rendered as href-less <a> tags with the class mw-selflink
  295. rather than <strong> tags. The old class name, "selflink", was deprecated
  296. and will be removed in a future release. (T160480)
  297. * (T156184) $wgRawHtml will no longer apply to internationalization messages.
  298. * Browser support for non-ES5 JavaScript browsers, including Android 2,
  299. Opera <12.10, and Internet Explorer 9, was lowered from Grade A to Grade C.
  300. * Removed wikibits global methods deprecated since MediaWiki 1.17 (T122755):
  301. is_gecko, is_chrome_mac, is_chrome, webkit_version, is_safari_win, is_safari,
  302. webkit_match, is_ff2, ff2_bugs, is_ff2_win, is_ff2_x11, opera95_bugs,
  303. opera7_bugs, opera6_bugs, is_opera_95, is_opera_preseven, is_opera,
  304. ie6_bugs, clientPC, changeText, killEvt, addHandler, hookEvent,
  305. addClickHandler, removeHandler, getElementsByClassName, getInnerText,
  306. setupCheckboxShiftClick, addCheckboxClickHandlers, mwEditButtons,
  307. mwCustomEditButtons, injectSpinner, removeSpinner, escapeQuotes,
  308. escapeQuotesHTML, jsMsg, addPortletLink, appendCSS, tooltipAccessKeyPrefix,
  309. tooltipAccessKeyRegexp, updateTooltipAccessKeys.
  310. * The ID of the <li> element containing the login link has changed from
  311. 'pt-login' to 'pt-login-private' in private wikis.
  312. * The old, neglected "bulletin board style toolbar" in the edit form is now
  313. deprecated (T30856). This old code dates from 2006, and was replaced in the
  314. MediaWiki release tarball and in Wikimedia production by the WikiEditor
  315. extension in 2010. It is only shown to users if no other editor was
  316. installed, and leads to confusion.
  317. * (T92459) Loading ResourceLoader modules containing JavaScript through
  318. addModuleStyles() is deprecated and will log a warning server-side.
  319. = MediaWiki 1.28 =
  320. == MediaWiki 1.28.1 ==
  321. This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.28 branch.
  322. === Changes since 1.28.0 ===
  323. * $wgRunJobsAsync is now false by default (T142751). This change only affects
  324. wikis with $wgJobRunRate > 0.
  325. * Fix fatal from "WaitConditionLoop" not being found, experienced when a wiki has
  326. more than one database server setup.
  327. * (T152717) Better escaping for PHP mail() command,
  328. * (T154670) A missing method causing the MySQL installer to fatal in rare
  329. circumstances was restored.
  330. * (T154672) Un-deprecate ArticleAfterFetchContentObject hook.
  331. * (T158766) Avoid SQL error on MSSQL when using selectRowCount().
  332. * (T145635) Fix too long index error when installing with MSSQL.
  333. * (T156184) $wgRawHtml will no longer apply to internationalization messages.
  334. * (T160519) CACHE_ANYTHING will not be CACHE_ACCEL if no accelerator is installed.
  335. * (T154872) Fix incorrect ar_usertext_timestamp index names in new 1.28 installs.
  336. * (T109140) (T122209) SECURITY: Special:UserLogin and Special:Search allow redirect
  337. to interwiki links.
  338. * (T144845) SECURITY: XSS in SearchHighlighter::highlightText() when
  339. $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting is true.
  340. * (T125177) SECURITY: API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep
  341. their values out of the logs.
  342. * (T150044) SECURITY: "Mark all pages visited" on the watchlist now requires a CSRF
  343. token.
  344. * (T156184) SECURITY: Escape content model/format url parameter in message.
  345. * (T151735) SECURITY: SVG filter evasion using default attribute values in DTD
  346. declaration.
  347. * (T161453) SECURITY: LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory
  348. in it's fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
  349. * (T48143) SECURITY: Spam blacklist ineffective on encoded URLs inside file inclusion
  350. syntax's link parameter.
  351. * (T108138) SECURITY: Sysops can undelete pages, although the page is protected against
  352. it.
  353. == MediaWiki 1.28 ==
  354. === Changes since 1.28.0-rc1 ===
  355. * (T148957) Replace wgShowExceptionDetails with wgShowDBErrorBacktrace on db
  356. errors.
  357. * (T148956) Only apply wgDBschema to postgres/mssql.
  358. * (T145991) Introduce separate log action for deleting pages on move.
  359. * (T141474) (T110464) Bypass login page if no user input is required.
  360. === Changes since 1.28.0-rc0 ===
  361. * (T142210) The changes to move the parser "NewPP limit report" from a HTML
  362. comment to a machine-readable JavaScript config option 'wgPageParseReport'
  363. have been undone. They caused the human-readable limit report to be shown
  364. incompletely or not at all. ParserOutput::setLimitReportData() and
  365. getLimitReportData() behave as they did in MediaWiki 1.27 again.
  366. * (T149510) Value of {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} parser function will not be used for
  367. the text of subheadings on a category page when creating it. This wasn't
  368. working correctly.
  369. * (T106793) MediaWiki will no longer try to perform a HTTP redirect to the
  370. canonical pretty URL when a non-pretty URL is used. It resulted in redirect
  371. loops in some clients and in some server configurations. This undoes a change
  372. made in MediaWiki 1.26.
  373. * (T149759) manifest_version: 2 was removed.
  374. === Configuration changes in 1.28 ===
  375. * $wgSend404Code now affects status code of action=history if the page is not there.
  376. * BREAKING CHANGE: $wgHTTPProxy is now *required* for all external requests
  377. made by MediaWiki via a proxy. Relying on the http_proxy environment
  378. variable is no longer supported.
  379. * The load.php entry point now enforces the existing policy of not allowing
  380. access to session data, which includes the session user and the session
  381. user's language. If such access is attempted, an exception will be thrown.
  382. * The number of internal PBKDF2 iterations used to derive the session secret
  383. is configurable via $wgSessionPbkdf2Iterations.
  384. * Upload dialog's file upload log comment can now be configured separately for
  385. local and foreign uploads.
  386. * $wgForeignUploadTargets now defaults to `[ 'local' ]`, where `'local'`
  387. signifies local uploads. A value of `[]` (empty array) now means that
  388. no upload targets are allowed, effectively disabling the upload dialog.
  389. * The deprecated $wgEditEncoding variable has been removed; it was only used
  390. for Esperanto language character conversion. You are now recommended to use
  391. input methods provided by the UniversalLanguageSelector extension.
  392. * When $wgPingback is true, MediaWiki will periodically ping
  393. https://www.mediawiki.org/beacon with basic information about the local
  394. MediaWiki installation. This data includes, for example, the type of system,
  395. PHP version, and chosen database backend. This behavior is off by default.
  396. * When $wgEditSubmitButtonLabelPublish is true, MediaWiki will label the button
  397. to store-to-database-and-show-to-others as "Publish page"/"Publish changes";
  398. if false, the default, they will be "Save page"/"Save changes".
  399. * The 'editcontentmodel' permission is now granted to all logged-in users ('user').
  400. instead of just administrators ('sysop'). Documentation for this feature is
  401. available at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ChangeContentModel>.
  402. * $wgRevisionCacheExpiry is now set to one week by default instead of being disabled.
  403. * Magic links are now disabled by default, and can be re-enabled by modifying the value
  404. of $wgEnableMagicLinks. Their usage is discouraged, but if they are manually enabled,
  405. a tracking category will be added to help identify usage and make it easier to migrate
  406. away from. If you depend upon magic link functionality, it is requested that you comment
  407. on <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Future_of_magic_links> and
  408. explain your use case(s).
  409. * New config variable $wgCSPFalsePositiveUrls to control what URLs to ignore
  410. in upcoming Content-Security-Policy feature's reporting.
  411. === New features in 1.28 ===
  412. * User::isBot() method for checking if an account is a bot role account.
  413. * Added a new 'slideshow' mode for galleries.
  414. * Added a new hook, 'UserIsBot', to aid in determining if a user is a bot.
  415. * Added a new hook, 'ApiMakeParserOptions', to allow extensions to better
  416. interact with API parsing.
  417. * Added a new hook, 'UploadVerifyUpload', which can be used to reject a file
  418. upload. Unlike 'UploadVerifyFile' it provides information about upload comment
  419. and the file description page, but does not run for uploads to stash.
  420. * (T141604) Extensions can now provide a better error message when their
  421. maintenance scripts are run without the extension being installed.
  422. * (T8948) Numeric sorting in categories is now supported by setting $wgCategoryCollation
  423. to 'uca-default-u-kn' or 'uca-<langcode>-u-kn'. If you can't use UCA collations,
  424. a 'numeric' collation is also available. If migrating from another
  425. collation, you will need to run the updateCollation.php maintenance script.
  426. * Two new codes have been added to #time parser function: "xit" for days in current
  427. month, and "xiz" for days passed in the year, both in Iranian calendar.
  428. * mw.Api has a new option, useUS, to use U+001F (Unit Separator) when
  429. appropriate for sending multi-valued parameters. This defaults to true when
  430. the mw.Api instance seems to be for the local wiki.
  431. * After a client performs an action which alters a database that has replica databases,
  432. MediaWiki will wait for the replica databases to synchronize with the master database
  433. while it renders the HTML output. However, if the output is a redirect to another wiki
  434. on the wiki farm with a different domain, MediaWiki will instead alter the redirect
  435. URL to include a ?cpPosTime parameter that triggers the database synchronization when
  436. the URL is followed by the client. The same-domain case uses a new cpPosTime cookie.
  437. * Added new hooks, 'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery', 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery', and
  438. 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow', to make it easier for extensions to add 'prop' and
  439. 'show' parameters to existing API query modules.
  440. === External library changes in 1.28 ===
  441. ==== Upgraded external libraries ====
  442. * Updated es5-shim from v4.1.5 to v4.5.8

  448. === Bug fixes in 1.28 ===
  449. * (T146496) action=history pages should return 404 HTTP error code if the page does not exist
  450. * (T137264) SECURITY: XSS in unclosed internal links
  451. * (T133147) SECURITY: Escape '<' and ']]>' in inline <style> blocks
  452. * (T133147) SECURITY: Require login to preview user CSS pages
  453. * (T132926) SECURITY: Do not allow undeleting a revision deleted file if it is
  454. the top file
  455. * (T129738) SECURITY: Make $wgBlockDisablesLogin also restrict logged in
  456. permissions
  457. * (T129738) SECURITY: Make blocks log users out if $wgBlockDisablesLogin is true
  458. * (T139670) Move 'UserGetRights' call before application of
  459. Session::getAllowedUserRights()
  460. === Action API changes in 1.28 ===
  461. * Added 'maxarticlesize' property to action=query&meta=siteinfo which contains
  462. the value of $wgMaxArticleSize.
  463. * Property 'modulemessages' from action=parse&prop=modules was removed
  464. (deprecated since 1.26).
  465. * The following response properties from action=login, deprecated in 1.27, are
  466. now removed: lgtoken, cookieprefix, sessionid. Clients should handle cookies
  467. to properly manage session state.
  468. * Submitting the lgtoken and lgpassword parameters in the query string to
  469. action=login is now deprecated and outputs a warning. They should be submitted
  470. in the POST body instead.
  471. * Submitting sensitive authentication request parameters to action=clientlogin,
  472. action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and action=changeauthenticationdata
  473. in the query string is now deprecated and outputs a warning. They should be
  474. submitted in the POST body instead.
  475. * (T141960) Multi-valued parameters may now be separated using U+001F (Unit Separator)
  476. instead of the pipe character. This will be useful if some of the multiple
  477. values need to contain pipes, e.g. for action=options.
  478. * The API will now warn if input is not NFC-normalized Unicode or if it
  479. contains invalid characters.
  480. * The 'normalized' list output by action=query and other modules that use
  481. ApiPageSet may contain entries where the 'from' value is percent-encoded as
  482. the raw value cannot be represented in a valid API response. These are
  483. indicated by a 'fromencoded' boolean alongside the existing 'from' parameter.
  484. * (T28680) action=paraminfo can now return info about all submodules of a
  485. module without listing them all explicitly.
  486. * (T146770) It is now possible to assert that the current user is a specific
  487. named user, using the 'assertuser' parameter.
  488. * (T141963) Added a 'known' property when missing-but-known titles (e.g. from
  489. the 'TitleIsAlwaysKnown' hook) are output in various modules.
  490. === Action API internal changes in 1.28 ===
  491. * Added a new hook, 'ApiMakeParserOptions', to allow extensions to better
  492. interact with ApiParse and ApiExpandTemplates.
  493. * (T139565) SECURITY: API: Generate head items in the context of the given title
  494. * (T115333) SECURITY: Check read permission when loading page content in ApiParse

  529. these hooks by passing an array for $hookData to ApiQueryBase::select() and
  530. by calling ApiQueryBase->processRow() before adding a row's data to the
  531. result.
  532. === Languages updated in 1.28 ===
  533. MediaWiki supports over 375 languages. Many localisations are updated
  534. regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as

  556. MediaWiki\Linker\LinkRenderer. In addition, the LinkBegin and LinkEnd hooks
  557. were replaced by HtmlPageLinkRendererBegin and HtmlPageLinkRendererEnd
  558. respectively. See docs/hooks.txt for the specific changes needed for those hooks.
  559. * Linker::formatSize() was deprecated. Use Language::formatSize() directly.
  560. * Aliases for Linker methods, deprecated since 1.21, were removed from Skin:
  561. * Skin::commentBlock() (use Linker::commentBlock() instead)
  562. * Skin::generateRollback() (use Linker::generateRollback() instead)
  563. * Skin::link() (use MediaWiki\Linker\LinkRenderer instead)
  564. * Skin::linkKnown() (use MediaWiki\Linker\LinkRenderer instead)

  575. on requests needed by primary providers even if all primaries need them.
  576. Primary providers are discouraged from returning multiple REQUIRED requests.
  577. * OOjs UI PHP widgets constructed with the `'infusable' => true` config option

  580. * parserTests.php has moved to tests/parser/parserTests.php
  581. * The command line options specific to parser tests have been removed from
  582. phpunit.php: --regex and --keep-uploads. Instead of --regex, use --filter.

  584. must specify a directory with --upload-dir.
  585. * The 'jquery.arrowSteps' ResourceLoader module is now deprecated.
  586. * IP::isConfiguredProxy() and IP::isTrustedProxy() were removed. Callers should

  596. == Compatibility ==
  597. MediaWiki 1.28 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. There is experimental support for
  598. HHVM 3.6.5 or later.
  599. MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
  600. support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
  601. Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
  602. The supported versions are:
  603. * MySQL 5.0.3 or later
  604. * PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
  605. * SQLite 3.3.7 or later
  606. * Oracle 9.0.1 or later
  607. * Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
  608. == Upgrading ==
  609. 1.28 has several database changes since 1.27, and will not work without schema
  610. updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
  611. table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
  612. many hours on a large site).
  613. If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
  614. repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
  615. due to database schema changes.
  616. If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
  617. new database fields are filled with data.
  618. If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, you should upgrade to
  619. 1.5 first. The upgrade script maintenance/upgrade1_5.php has been removed
  620. with MediaWiki 1.21.
  621. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
  622. See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
  623. For notes on 1.27.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
  624. == Online documentation ==
  625. Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
  626. MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
  627. for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):
  628. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Documentation
  629. == Mailing list ==
  630. A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:
  631. https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
  632. A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
  633. https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
  634. It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
  635. going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
  636. == IRC help ==
  637. There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net.
  638. = MediaWiki 1.27 =
  639. == MediaWiki 1.27.3 ==
  640. Due to a packaging error, the wrong version of the SyntaxHighlight extension was
  641. included in the tarball version of MediaWiki 1.27.2. The version included had a
  642. serious security issue in it (T158689). There was also some minor code fixes in
  643. MediaWiki itself since 1.27.2, but none of them were security relevant.

  663. action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and action=changeauthenticationdata
  664. in the query string is now deprecated and outputs a warning. They should be

  677. token.
  678. * (T156184) SECURITY: Escape content model/format url parameter in message.
  679. * (T151735) SECURITY: SVG filter evasion using default attribute values in DTD
  680. declaration.
  681. * (T161453) SECURITY: LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory
  682. in it's fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.

  700. permissions
  701. * (T129738) SECURITY: Make blocks log users out if $wgBlockDisablesLogin is true
  702. * (T115333) SECURITY: Check read permission when loading page content in ApiParse
  703. * (T57548) Remove support for $wgWellFormedXml = false, all output is now well formed
  704. * (T139670) Move 'UserGetRights' call before application of Session::getAllowedUserRights()
  705. == MediaWiki 1.27.0 ==
  706. === PHP version requirement in 1.27 ===
  707. As of 1.27, MediaWiki now requires PHP 5.5.9 or higher (see Compatibility
  708. section). Additionally, the following PHP extensions are required:
  709. * ctype
  710. * iconv
  711. * json
  712. * mbstring (new requirement in 1.27)
  713. * xml
  714. The following PHP extensions are strongly recommended:
  715. * openssl
  716. === Configuration changes in 1.27 ===
  717. * $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes and $wgAllowRdfaAttributes were removed,
  718. now always enabled. If you use RDFa on your wiki, you now have to explicitly
  719. set $wgHtml5Version to 'HTML+RDFa 1.0' or 'XHTML+RDFa 1.0'.
  720. * $wgUseLinkNamespaceDBFields was removed.
  721. * Deprecated $wgResourceLoaderMinifierStatementsOnOwnLine and
  722. $wgResourceLoaderMinifierMaxLineLength, because there was little value in
  723. making the behavior configurable. The default values (`false` for the former,
  724. 1000 for the latter) are now hard-coded.
  725. * $wgDebugDumpSqlLength was removed (deprecated in 1.24).
  726. * $wgDebugDBTransactions was removed (deprecated in 1.20).
  727. * $wgUseXVO has been removed, as it provides functionality only used by
  728. custom Wikimedia patches against Squid 2.x that probably noone uses in
  729. production anymore. There is now $wgUseKeyHeader that provides similar
  730. functionality but instead of the MediaWiki-specific X-Vary-Options header,
  731. uses the draft Key header standard.
  732. * $wgScriptExtension (and support for '.php5' entry points) was removed. See the
  733. deprecation notice in the release notes for version 1.25 for advice on how to
  734. preserve support for '.php5' entry points via URL rewriting.
  735. * Password handling via the User object has been deprecated and partially
  736. removed, pending the future introduction of AuthManager. In particular:
  737. ** expirePassword(), getPasswordExpireDate(), resetPasswordExpiration(), and
  738. getPasswordExpired() have been removed. They were unused outside of core.
  739. ** The mPassword, mNewpassword, mNewpassTime, and mPasswordExpires fields are
  740. now private and will be removed in the future.
  741. ** The getPassword() and getTemporaryPassword() methods now throw
  742. BadMethodCallException and will be removed in the future.
  743. ** The ability to pass 'password' and 'newpassword' to createNew() has been
  744. removed. The only users of it seem to have been using it to set invalid
  745. passwords, and so shouldn't be greatly affected.
  746. ** setPassword(), setInternalPassword(), and setNewpassword() have been
  747. deprecated, pending the introduction of AuthManager.
  748. ** User::randomPassword() is deprecated in favor of a new method
  749. PasswordFactory::generateRandomPasswordString()
  750. ** User::getPasswordFactory() is deprecated, callers should just create a
  751. PasswordFactory themselves.
  752. ** A new constructor, User::newSystemUser(), has been added to simplify the
  753. creation of passwordless "system" users for logged actions.
  754. * $wgMaxSquidPurgeTitles was removed.
  755. * $wgAjaxWatch was removed. This is now enabled by default.
  756. * $wgUseInstantCommons now hotlinks Commons images by default instead of
  757. downloading originals and thumbnailing them locally. This allows wikis to save
  758. on CPU and bandwidth while reducing time to first byte for pages, even without
  759. a thumbnail handler. See $wgForeignFileRepos documentation for tweaks.
  760. * (T27397) WebP is enabled by default as an uploadable filetype.
  761. * (T48998) $wgArticlePath must now be either a full url, or start with a "/".
  762. * $wgRateLimitLog was removed; use $wgDebugLogGroups['ratelimit'] instead.
  763. * Deprecated API formats dbg, txt, and yaml have been removed.
  764. * CLDRPluralRule* classes have been replaced with
  765. wikimedia/cldr-plural-rule-parser.
  766. * Removed $wgProfilePerHost, $wgUDPProfilerHost, $wgUDPProfilerPort,
  767. $wgUDPProfilerFormatString, $wgStatsMethod, $wgAggregateStatsID,
  768. $wgStatsFormatString, and $wgProfileCallTree (deprecated since 1.20).
  769. * For proper operation of LocalIdLookup with shared user tables, ensure that
  770. $wgSharedDB and $wgSharedTables are properly set even on the "central" wiki
  771. that all others are sharing from and that $wgLocalDatabases is set to the
  772. full list of sharing wikis on all those wikis.
  773. * Massive overhaul to session handling:
  774. ** $wgSessionsInObjectCache is no longer supported and must be true, due to
  775. MediaWiki\Session\SessionManager. $wgSessionHandler is similarly no longer
  776. used.
  777. ** ObjectCacheSessionHandler is removed, replaced with
  778. MediaWiki\Session\PhpSessionHandler.
  779. ** PHP session handling in general ($_SESSION, session_id(), and so on) is
  780. deprecated. Use MediaWiki\Session\SessionManager instead. A new config
  781. variable, $wgPHPSessionHandling, is available to cause use of $_SESSION to
  782. issue a deprecation warning or to cause most PHP session handling to throw
  783. exceptions.
  784. ** Deprecated UserSetCookies hook. Session-handling extensions should generally
  785. be creating a custom subclass of CookieSessionProvider. Other extensions
  786. messing with cookies can no longer count on user data being saved in cookies
  787. versus other methods.
  788. ** Deprecated UserLoadFromSession hook, extensions should create a
  789. MediaWiki\Session\SessionProvider.
  790. ** The User cannot be loaded from session until after Setup.php completes.
  791. Attempts to do so will be ignored and the User will remain unloaded.
  792. ** CSRF tokens may be fetched from the MediaWiki\Session\Session, which uses
  793. the MediaWiki\Session\Token class.
  794. * MediaWiki will now auto-create users as necessary, removing the need for
  795. extensions to do so. An 'autocreateaccount' right is added to allow
  796. auto-creation when 'createaccount' is not granted to all users.
  797. * Deprecated AuthPluginAutoCreate hook in favor of LocalUserCreated.
  798. * Most cookie-handling methods in User are deprecated.
  799. * $wgAllowAsyncCopyUploads and $CopyUploadAsyncTimeout were removed. This was an
  800. experimental feature that has never worked.
  801. * Login and createaccount tokens now vary by timestamp.
  802. * LoginForm::getLoginToken() and LoginForm::getCreateaccountToken()
  803. return a MediaWiki\Session\Token, and tokens must be checked using that
  804. class's methods.
  805. * $wgEnotifUseJobQ was removed and the job queue is always used.
  806. * The functionality of the ApiSandbox extension has been merged into core. The
  807. extension should no longer be used.
  808. * $wgPreloadJavaScriptMwUtil was removed (deprecated in 1.26).
  809. Extensions, skins, gadgets and scripts that use the mediawiki.util module must
  810. express a dependency on it.
  811. * $wgIncludeLegacyJavaScript, deprecated in MediaWiki 1.26, now defaults false.
  812. Extensions, skins, gadgets and scripts that need the mediawiki.legacy.wikibits
  813. module should express a dependency on it.
  814. * Removed configuration option $wgCopyrightIcon (deprecated since 1.18). Use
  815. $wgFooterIcons['copyright']['copyright'] instead.
  816. * If the openssl and mcrypt PHP extensions are both unavailable, secure
  817. session storage (used for login) will raise an exception. This exception may
  818. be bypassed by setting $wgSessionInsecureSecrets = true.
  819. * Massive overhaul to authentication:
  820. ** AuthPlugin and AuthPluginUser are deprecated.
  821. ** LoginForm and associated templates are deprecated. Extensions which called
  822. static LoginForm methods should be converted into authentication providers.
  823. ** The following hooks are deprecated:
  824. *** AbortAutoAccount (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider instead)
  825. *** AbortLogin (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider instead)
  826. *** AbortNewAccount (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider instead)
  827. *** AddNewAccount (use LocalUserCreated instead)
  828. *** AuthPluginSetup (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider instead)
  829. *** ChangePasswordForm (use AuthChangeFormFields instead, or security levels)
  830. *** LoginUserMigrated (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider instead)
  831. *** UserCreateForm (create a MediaWiki\Auth\AuthenticationProvider of some type instead)
  832. *** UserLoginForm (create a MediaWiki\Auth\AuthenticationProvider of some type instead)
  833. ** The following hooks are removed:
  834. *** AbortChangePassword
  835. *** LoginPasswordResetMessage
  836. *** PrefsPasswordAudit
  837. ** The UserLoginComplete hook will no longer be called for all logins, only for
  838. those via the web UI. Use UserLoggedIn if you need to do something on all
  839. logins.
  840. ** $wgRequirePasswordforEmailChange is removed.
  841. === New features in 1.27 ===
  842. * $wgDataCenterUpdateStickTTL was also added. This decides how long a user
  843. sticks to the primary DC (via cookies) after they make changes to the site.
  844. * Added a new hook, 'UserMailerTransformContent', to transform the contents
  845. of an email. This is similar to the EmailUser hook but applies to all mail
  846. sent via UserMailer.
  847. * Added a new hook, 'UserMailerTransformMessage', to transform the contents
  848. of an emai after MIME encoding.
  849. * Added a new hook, 'UserMailerSplitTo', to control which users have to be
  850. emailed separately (ie. there is a single address in the To: field) so
  851. user-specific changes to the email can be applied safely.
  852. * $wgCdnMaxageLagged was added, which limits the CDN cache TTL
  853. when any load balancer uses a DB that is lagged beyond the 'max lag'
  854. setting in the relevant section of $wgLBFactoryConf.
  855. * User::newSystemUser() may be used to simplify the creation of passwordless
  856. "system" users for logged actions from scripts and extensions.
  857. * Extensions can now return detailed error information via the API when
  858. preventing user actions using 'getUserPermissionsErrors' and similar hooks
  859. by using ApiMessage instances instead of strings for the $result value.
  860. * $wgAPIMaxLagThreshold was added to limit bot changes when databases lag
  861. becomes too high.
  862. * Skins and extensions can now use FlexBox mixins (.flex-display(@display: flex)
  863. and .flex(@grow: 1, @shrink: 1, @width: auto, @order: 1)) in Less to create
  864. cross-browser-compatible FlexBox rules. Users will still need to add fallback
  865. float rules or the like for compatibility with IE9- separately.
  866. * Added MWTimestamp::getTimezoneString() which returns the localized timezone
  867. string, if available. To localize this string, see the comments of
  868. $wgLocaltimezone in includes/DefaultSettings.php.
  869. * Added CentralIdLookup, a service that allows extensions needing a concept of
  870. "central" users to get that without having to know about specific central
  871. authentication extensions.
  872. * $wgMaxUserDBWriteDuration added to limit huge user-generated transactions.
  873. Regular web request transactions that takes longer than this are aborted.
  874. * Added a new hook, 'TitleMoveCompleting', which runs before a page move is
  875. committed.
  876. * $wgCdnReboundPurgeDelay was added to provide secondary delayed purges of URLs
  877. from CDN to mitigate DB replication lag and WAN cache purge lag.
  878. * (T49162) Installer will default to setting CACHE_ACCEL as the main cache type
  879. if it is available.
  880. * It is now possible to patrol file uploads (both for new files and new versions
  881. of existing files). Special:NewFiles has gained an option to filter by patrol
  882. status. This functionality can be disabled using $wgUseFilePatrol.
  883. * MediaWiki\Session infrastructure allows for easier use of session mechanisms
  884. other than the usual cookies.
  885. ** SessionMetadata and SessionCheckInfo hooks allow for setting and checking
  886. custom session metadata.
  887. * Added MWGrants and associated configuration settings $wgGrantPermissions and
  888. $wgGrantPermissionGroups to hold configuration for authentication features
  889. such as OAuth that want to allow restricting the user rights a user may make
  890. use of.
  891. ** If you're already using the OAuth extension, these new variables are
  892. identical to (and will replace) $wgMWOAuthGrantPermissions and
  893. $wgMWOAuthGrantPermissionGroups.
  894. * Added MWRestrictions as a class to check restrictions on a WebRequest, e.g.
  895. to assert that the request comes from a particular IP range.
  896. * Added bot passwords, a rights-restricted login mechanism for API-using bots.
  897. * Whitelisted the following HTML attributes for all elements in wikitext:
  898. aria-describedby, aria-flowto, aria-label, aria-labelledby, aria-owns.
  899. * Removed "presentation" restriction on the HTML role attribute in wikitext.
  900. All values are now allowed for the role attribute.
  901. * $wgContentHandlers now also supports callbacks to create an instance of the
  902. appropriate ContentHandler subclass.
  903. * Added $wgAuthenticationTokenVersion, which if non-null prevents the
  904. user_token database field from being exposed in cookies. Setting this would
  905. be a good idea, but will log out all current sessions.
  906. * $wgEventRelayerConfig was added, for managing PubSub event relay configuration,
  907. specifically for reliable CDN url purges.
  908. * Requests have unique IDs, equal to the UNIQUE_ID environment variable (when
  909. MediaWiki is behind Apache+mod_unique_id or something similar) or a randomly-
  910. generated 24-character string. This request ID is used to annotate log records
  911. and error messages. It is available client-side via mw.config.get( 'wgRequestId' ).
  912. The request ID supplants exception IDs. Accordingly, MWExceptionHandler::getLogId()
  913. is deprecated.
  914. * (T33313) Add a preference for watching uploads by default, also applies
  915. to API-based upload tools.
  916. * $wgJpegPixelFormat was added to override chroma subsampling for JPEG image
  917. thumbnails created via ImageMagick. Defaults to 'yuv420', providing bandwidth
  918. savings versus the previous behavior on many files.
  919. * MediaWiki\Auth infrastructure (called "AuthManager") allows for more flexible
  920. configuration of multiple authentication pieces that was possible with
  921. AuthPlugin. For example, it's now easy to plug in second-factor
  922. authentication, or add additional checks to the login process, or to support
  923. multiple login methods at once, or to support non-password-based login methods.
  924. ** Providers are configured via the global setting $wgAuthManagerConfig.
  925. ** A global, $wgDisableAuthManager, is temporarily available to disable
  926. AuthManager until extensions are ready to support it.
  927. ** New hook, AuthChangeFormFields, to adjust the form fields on
  928. AuthManager-related special pages.
  929. ** New hook, AuthManagerLoginAuthenticateAudit, for additional logging of
  930. AuthManager-related authentication requests.
  931. ** New hook, ChangeAuthenticationDataAudit, for additional logging of
  932. AuthManager-related authentication data changes.
  933. ** New hook, SecuritySensitiveOperationStatus, to work with the new mechanism
  934. for requiring a recent login before taking security-sensitive operations
  935. like changing a password.
  936. ** Two new globals, $wgChangeCredentialsBlacklist and $wgRemoveCredentialsBlacklist
  937. can be used to prevent the web UI and the API changing certain authentication data.
  938. * The file upload dialog (available if you install WikiEditor or VisualEditor)
  939. can now be configured using $wgUploadDialog.
  940. === External library changes in 1.27 ===
  941. ==== Upgraded external libraries ====

  952. ==== Removed and replaced external libraries ====
  953. === Bug fixes in 1.27 ===
  954. * Special:Upload will now display correct maximum allowed file size when running
  955. under HHVM (T116347).
  956. * (T54077) The APIEditBeforeSave hook will once again give only the content of
  957. the section being edited, rather than the whole revision. This reverts the
  958. change made in MediaWiki 1.22.
  959. === Action API changes in 1.27 ===
  960. * Added list=allrevisions.
  961. * generator=recentchanges now has the option to generate revids.
  962. * ApiPageSet::setRedirectMergePolicy() was added. This allows generator
  963. modules to define how generator data for a redirect source gets merged
  964. into the redirect destination.
  965. * prop=imageinfo&iiprop=uploadwarning will no longer include the possibility of
  966. "was-deleted" warning.
  967. * Added difftotextpst to query=revisions which preforms a pre-save transform on
  968. the text before diffing it.
  969. * Deprecated formats dbg, txt, and yaml have been removed.
  970. * (T47988) The protect log event details now use new-style formatting.
  971. * The following response properties from action=login are deprecated, and may
  972. be removed in the future: lgtoken, cookieprefix, sessionid. Clients should
  973. handle cookies to properly manage session state.
  974. * action=login transparently allows login using bot passwords. Clients should
  975. merely need to change the username and password used after setting up a bot
  976. password.
  977. * action=upload no longer understands statuskey, asyncdownload or leavemessage.
  978. * Several changes when $wgDisableAuthManager is false:
  979. ** action=login is deprecated for uses other than bot passwords.
  980. ** list=users can now indicate if a missing username is creatable.
  981. ** action=createaccount is changed in a non-backwards-compatible manner.
  982. ** Added action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo.
  983. ** Added action=clientlogin to be used to log into the main account instead of
  984. action=login.
  985. ** Added action=linkaccount.
  986. ** Added action=unlinkaccount.

  1028. === Other changes in 1.27 ===
  1029. * Added dependency injection (DI) infrastructure, see docs/injection.txt for details.
  1030. It is planned to incrementally move MediaWiki code towards using DI, using the
  1031. service locator (SL) pattern as a stepping stone.
  1032. * ProfilerOutputUdp was removed. Note that there is a ProfilerOutputStats class.
  1033. * WikiPage::doDeleteArticleReal() and WikiPage::doDeleteArticle() now
  1034. ignore the 2nd and 3rd arguments (formerly $id and $commit).
  1035. * Removed "loaderScripts" option from ResourceLoaderFileModule class.
  1036. * Removed ORM-like wrapper added in 1.20.

  1044. * (T36948) The default file revert message's timestamp is now in
  1045. $wgLocaltimezone, instead of UTC.
  1046. * The default name of the 'suppress' group page has been changed from
  1047. 'Project:Oversight' to 'Project:Suppress'.

  1229. === Compatibility ===
  1230. MediaWiki 1.27 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. There is experimental support for
  1231. HHVM 3.6.5 or later.
  1232. MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
  1233. support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
  1234. Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
  1235. The supported versions are:
  1236. * MySQL 5.0.3 or later
  1237. * PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
  1238. * SQLite 3.3.7 or later
  1239. * Oracle 9.0.1 or later
  1240. * Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
  1241. === Upgrading ===
  1242. 1.27 has several database changes since 1.26, and will not work without schema
  1243. updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
  1244. table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
  1245. many hours on a large site).
  1246. If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
  1247. repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
  1248. due to database schema changes.
  1249. If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
  1250. new database fields are filled with data.
  1251. If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, you should upgrade to
  1252. 1.5 first. The upgrade script maintenance/upgrade1_5.php has been removed
  1253. with MediaWiki 1.21.
  1254. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
  1255. See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
  1256. For notes on 1.26.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

  1308. * (T117899) SECURITY: $wgArticlePath can no longer be set to relative paths
  1309. that do not begin with a slash. This enabled trivial XSS attacks.
  1310. Configuration values such as "http://my.wiki.com/wiki/$1" are fine, as are

  1325. * Fix issue that breaks HHVM Repo Authorative mode.
  1326. * (T120267) Work around APCu memory corruption bug
  1327. == MediaWiki 1.26.0 ==
  1328. === Configuration changes in 1.26 ===
  1329. * $wgPasswordResetRoutes['email'] = true by default.
  1330. * $wgEnableParserCache was deprecated, set $wgParserCacheType to CACHE_NONE
  1331. instead if you want to disable the parser cache.
  1332. * New-style continuation is now the default for API action=continue. Clients may
  1333. use the 'rawcontinue' parameter to receive raw query-continue data, but the
  1334. new style is encouraged as it's harder to implement incorrectly.
  1335. * Deprecated API formats dump and wddx have been completely removed.
  1336. * (T7645) The "Signature" button on the edit toolbar is now hidden by default
  1337. in non-talk namespaces. A new configuration variable,
  1338. $wgExtraSignatureNamespaces, controls in which subject (non-talk) namespaces
  1339. the "Signature" button on the edit toolbar will be displayed.
  1340. * $wgResourceLoaderUseESI was deprecated and removed. This was an experimental
  1341. feature that was never enabled by default.
  1342. * $wgResourceLoaderExperimentalAsyncLoading was deprecated and removed.
  1343. This experimental feature was never enabled by default and is obsolete as of
  1344. MediaWiki 1.26, in where ResourceLoader became fully asynchronous.
  1345. * $wgMasterWaitTimeout was removed (deprecated in 1.24).
  1346. * Fields in ParserOptions are now private. Use the accessors instead.
  1347. * Custom LESS functions (defined via $wgResourceLoaderLESSFunctions or
  1348. in extension.json) have been removed, after being deprecated in 1.24.
  1349. * $wgAlwaysUseTidy has been removed.
  1350. * ResetSessionID hook has been removed. Nothing seems to use it.
  1351. * Certain AuthPlugin methods are deprecated in favor of new hooks:
  1352. ** AuthPlugin::initUser() is replaced by LocalUserCreated.
  1353. ** AuthPlugin::updateUser() is replaced by UserLoggedIn.
  1354. ** AuthPlugin::updateExternalDB() is replaced by the existing UserSaveSettings.
  1355. ** AuthPlugin::updateExternalDBGroups() is replaced by UserGroupsChanged.
  1356. ** AuthPluginUser::isHidden() is replaced by UserIsHidden.
  1357. ** AuthPluginUser::isLocked() is replaced by UserIsLocked.
  1358. * The UserRights hook is deprecated in favor of the new UserGroupsChanged hook.
  1359. * AuthPlugin::initUser() and AuthPlugin::updateUser() should no longer replace
  1360. the passed User object.
  1361. * $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit is now set to true by default. This allows
  1362. blocked users to edit their talk pages unless explicitly disabled
  1363. when they are being blocked.
  1364. === New features in 1.26 ===
  1365. * (T51506) Now action=info gives estimates of actual watchers for a page.
  1366. See $wgRCMaxAge, $wgWatchersMaxAge and $wgUnwatchedPageSecret
  1367. to learn how to configure if needed.
  1368. * Change tags can now be hidden in the interface by disabling the associated
  1369. "tag-<id>" interface message.
  1370. * ':' (colon) is now invalid in usernames for new accounts. Existing accounts
  1371. are not affected.
  1372. * Added a new hook, 'LogException', to log exceptions in nonstandard ways.
  1373. * Revive the 'SpecialSearchResultsAppend' hook which occurs after the list of
  1374. search results are rendered. The initial use case is to append a "give us
  1375. feedback" link beneath the search results.
  1376. * Added a new hook, 'RejectParserCacheValue', which allows extensions to
  1377. reject an otherwise-successful parser cache lookup. The intent is to allow
  1378. extensions to manage the eviction of archaic HTML output from the cache.
  1379. * (T68699) The expiration of the UserID and Token login cookies
  1380. ($wgExtendedLoginCookieExpiration) can be configured independently of the
  1381. expiration of all other cookies ($wgCookieExpiration).
  1382. * (T50519) Support for generating JPEG/PNG thumbnails from WebP images added
  1383. if ImageMagick is used as image scaler ($wgUseImageMagick = true). Uploading
  1384. of WebP images still disabled by default. Add $wgFileExtensions[] =
  1385. 'webp'; to LocalSettings.php to enable uploading of WebP images.
  1386. * Added new hooks 'EnhancedChangesListModifyLineData' &
  1387. 'EnhancedChangesListModifyBlockLineData', to modify the data used to build
  1388. lines in enhanced recentchanges and watchlist.
  1389. * Caches that need purging ability now use the WANObjectCache interface.
  1390. This corresponds to a new $wgMainWANCache setting, which defaults to using
  1391. the $wgMainCacheType settings.
  1392. * Callers needing fast light-weight data stores use $wgMainStash to select
  1393. the store type from $wgObjectCaches. The default is the local database.
  1394. * Interface message overrides in the MediaWiki namespace will now be cached in
  1395. memcached and APC (if available), rather than memcached and local files.
  1396. * Added a new hook, 'RandomPageQuery', to allow modification of the query used
  1397. by Special:Random to select random pages.
  1398. * $wgTransactionalTimeLimit was added, which controls the request time limit
  1399. for potentially slow POST requests that need to be as atomic as possible.
  1400. * ResourceLoader now loads all scripts asynchronously. The top-queue and
  1401. startup modules are no longer synchronously loaded.
  1402. * 'mediawiki.ui.button' styles are no longer unconditionally loaded on every
  1403. page. During the deprecation period, the styles will only be loaded on pages
  1404. which contain 'mw-ui-button' in their HTML. Starting in 1.28, the styles will
  1405. only be loaded if explicitly required.
  1406. * If search returns zero results and current search engine has a "did you mean"
  1407. suggestion, results for suggestion will be shown. Can be disabled by setting
  1408. $wgSearchRunSuggestedQuery to false.
  1409. * Added several JavaScript libraries for uploading files to MediaWiki
  1410. from the client-side. See documentation for mw.Upload and its
  1411. subclasses for more information.
  1412. * Added OOUI dialogs and layout for file upload interfaces. See
  1413. documentation for mw.Upload.Dialog, mw.Upload.BookletLayout and its
  1414. subclasses for more information.
  1415. === extension.json changes in 1.26 ===
  1416. * (T99344) The extension.json schema is now versioned. All extensions
  1417. and skins should set a "manifest_version" property corresponding to
  1418. the schema version they were written for. The only supported version
  1419. currently is "1".
  1420. * (T102523) The error message if a non-array attribute is set was improved.
  1421. * (T107646) Configuration settings can now specify how they should be merged,
  1422. which is necessary for arrays using integer keys.
  1423. * (T110389) Adding namespaces through extension.json now actually works
  1424. * $wgNamespaceProtection can now be set in extension.json.
  1425. * $wgCapitalLinkOverrides can now be set in extension.json.
  1426. * (T97186) Extensions using a custom prefix for their configuration settings
  1427. can now set a "_prefix" key to override the default of "wg".
  1428. * (T99084) Extensions can now specify what MediaWiki core versions they
  1429. depend upon.
  1430. * (T105236) The extension.json schema now validates custom classes in
  1431. the "ResourceModules" property properly.
  1432. === External library changes in 1.26 ===
  1433. ==== Upgraded external libraries ====
  1434. * Updated es5-shim from v4.0.0 to v4.1.5.
  1435. * Updated json2 from revision 2014-02-04 to 2015-05-03.

  1437. * Updated jQuery Client from v1.0.0 to v2.0.0.
  1438. * Updated QUnit from v1.17.1 to v1.18.0.
  1439. * Updated liuggio/statsd-php-client from v1.0.12 to v1.0.16.
  1440. * Updated oojs/oojs-ui from v0.11.3 to v0.12.12.

  1444. * Updated zordius/lightncandy from v0.18 to v0.21.
  1445. ==== New external libraries ====
  1446. * Added composer/semver v1.0.0.
  1447. * Added mediawiki/at-ease v1.1.0.
  1448. * Added wikimedia/assert v0.2.2.
  1449. * Added wikimedia/ip-set v1.0.1.
  1450. * Added wikimedia/wrappedstring v2.0.0.
  1451. ==== Removed and replaced external libraries ====
  1452. * Replaced leafo/lessphp v0.5.0 with oyejorge/less.php v1.7.0.9.
  1453. === Bug fixes in 1.26 ===
  1454. * (T53283) load.php sometimes sends 304 response without full headers
  1455. * (T65198) Talk page tabs now have a "rel=discussion" attribute
  1456. * (T98841) {{msgnw:}} now preserves comments even when subst: is not used.
  1457. * (T104142) $wgEmergencyContact and $wgPasswordSender now use their default
  1458. value if set to an empty string.
  1459. === Action API changes in 1.26 ===
  1460. * New-style continuation is now the default for action=continue. Clients may
  1461. use the 'rawcontinue' parameter to receive raw query-continue data, but the
  1462. new style is encouraged as it's harder to implement incorrectly.
  1463. * Deprecated API formats dump and wddx have been completely removed.
  1464. * API action=query&list=tags: The displayname can now be boolean false if the
  1465. tag is meant to be hidden from user interfaces.
  1466. * action=import no longer allows both the namespace= and rootpage= parameters
  1467. to be set. If they are both set, the value of rootpage= will be ignored.
  1468. * prop=revision output in enum mode is now sorted by timestamp rather than
  1469. revision ID. This usually won't make any difference.
  1470. * (T102645) Namespace list from meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces is now an array
  1471. with formatversion=2.
  1472. * Various other output from meta=siteinfo will now always be arrays instead of
  1473. sometimes being numerically-indexed objects with formatversion=2.
  1474. * When errors about users being blocked are returned, they now include
  1475. information about the relevant block.
  1476. * (T99926) list=random has higher limits, in line with other API modules.
  1477. * list=random's rnredirect parameter is deprecated in favor of a new
  1478. rnfilterredir parameter that also allows for listing both redirects and
  1479. non-redirects.
  1480. * list=random now supports continuation.
  1481. * API responses to GET requests may now include ETag and Last-Modified headers,
  1482. and will honor corresponding If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since on such
  1483. requests.
  1484. === Action API internal changes in 1.26 ===
  1485. * New metadata item ApiResult::META_KVP_MERGE to allow for merging the KVP key
  1486. into the value when the value is an assoc.
  1487. * API action modules may now provide values for the RFC 7232 ETag and
  1488. Last-Modified headers. The API will check these against If-None-Match and
  1489. If-Modified-Since request headers on GET requests and avoid executing the
  1490. module when appropriate.
  1491. === Languages updated in 1.26 ===
  1492. MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
  1493. regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
  1494. changes to languages because of Phabricator reports.
  1495. * Languages added:
  1496. ** ase (American sign language), thanks to translator Icemandeaf
  1497. ** dty (डोटेली/Doteli), thanks to translators जनक राज भट्ट, बिप्लब आनन्द,
  1498. मेश सिंह बोहरा, and राम प्रसाद जोशी
  1499. ** luz (لئری دوٙمینی / Southern Luri)
  1500. ** olo (Livvinкarjala / Livvi-Karelian), thanks to translators Denö, Hiloin Natoi,
  1501. Ilja.mos, and Mashoi7
  1502. === Other changes in 1.26 ===
  1503. * ChangeTags::tagDescription() will return false if the interface message
  1504. for the tag is disabled.
  1505. * Added PageHistoryPager::doBatchLookups hook.
  1506. * Added $wikiId parameter to FormatAutocomments hook.
  1507. * Added ParserCacheSaveComplete to ParserCache
  1508. * supportsDirectEditing and supportsDirectApiEditing methods added to
  1509. ContentHandler, to provide a way for ApiEditPage and EditPage to check
  1510. if direct editing of content is allowed. These methods return false,
  1511. by default for the ContentHandler base class and true for TextContentHandler
  1512. and it's derivative classes (everything in core). For Content types that
  1513. do not support direct editing, an alternative mechanism should be provided
  1514. for editing, such as action overrides or specific api modules.
  1515. * mediaWiki.confirmCloseWindow now returns an object of functions, instead of
  1516. one function. The callback can't be called directly any more. The callback
  1517. function is replaced with confirmCloseWindow.release().
  1518. * BREAKING CHANGE: Added an optional ResouceLoaderContext parameter to
  1519. ResourceLoaderModule::getDependencies(). Extension classes that override that
  1520. method should be updated. If they aren't updated, PHP Strict standards
  1521. warnings will appear when E_STRICT error reporting is enabled. Note: in the
  1522. near future, this parameter will probably become non-optional.
  1523. * Removed maintenance script deleteImageMemcached.php.
  1524. * MWFunction::newObj() was removed (deprecated in 1.25).
  1525. ObjectFactory::getObjectFromSpec() should be used instead.
  1526. * The parser will no longer randomize the string it uses to mark the place of
  1527. items that were stripped during parsing. It will use a fixed string instead.
  1528. This causes the parser to re-use the regular expressions it uses to search
  1529. and replace markers rather than generate novel expressions on each parse.
  1530. Re-using regular expressions will improve performance on HHVM and the
  1531. forthcoming PHP 7. The interfaces changes accompanying this change are:
  1532. - Parser::getRandomString() and Parser::uniqPrefix() have been deprecated.
  1533. - The $uniq_prefix argument for Parser::extractTagsAndParams() and the
  1534. $prefix argument for StripState::_construct() are deprecated and their
  1535. value is ignored.
  1536. * wfSuppressWarnings() and wfRestoreWarnings() were split into a separate library,
  1537. mediawiki/at-ease, and are now deprecated. Callers should use
  1538. MediaWiki\suppressWarnings() and MediaWiki\restoreWarnings() directly.
  1539. * The Block class constructor now takes an associative array of parameters
  1540. instead of many optional positional arguments. Calling the constructor the old
  1541. way will issue a deprecation warning.
  1542. * The jquery.mwExtension module was deprecated.
  1543. * $wgSpecialPageGroups was removed (deprecated in 1.21).
  1544. * SpecialPageFactory::setGroup was removed (deprecated in 1.21).
  1545. * SpecialPageFactory::getGroup was removed (deprecated in 1.21).
  1546. * DatabaseBase::ignoreErrors() is now protected.
  1547. * BREAKING CHANGE: mediawiki.legacy.ajax has been removed, following
  1548. a lengthy deprecation period.
  1549. * The ScopedPHPTimeout class was removed.
  1550. * Removed maintenance script fixSlaveDesync.php.
  1551. * Watchlist tokens, SpecialResetTokens, and User::getTokenFromOption()
  1552. are deprecated. Applications using those can work via the OAuth
  1553. extension instead. New tokens types should not be added.
  1554. * DatabaseBase::errorCount() was removed (unused).
  1555. * $wgDeferredUpdateList was removed.
  1556. * DeferredUpdates::addHTMLCacheUpdate() was removed.

  1589. * (T117899) SECURITY: $wgArticlePath can no longer be set to relative paths
  1590. that do not begin with a slash. This enabled trivial XSS attacks.
  1591. Configuration values such as "http://my.wiki.com/wiki/$1" are fine, as are
  1592. "/wiki/$1". A value such as "$1" or "wiki/$1" is not and will now throw an
  1593. error.
  1594. * (T119309) SECURITY: Use hash_compare() for edit token comparison
  1595. * (T118032) SECURITY: Don't allow cURL to interpret POST parameters starting

  1639. * (T102522) Using an extension.json or skin.json file which has

  1648. === Changes since 1.25 ===
  1649. * (T100351) Fix syntax errors in extension.json of ConfirmEdit extension
  1650. == MediaWiki 1.25.0 ==
  1651. === Configuration changes in 1.25 ===
  1652. * $wgPageShowWatchingUsers was removed.
  1653. * $wgLocalVirtualHosts has been added to replace $wgConf->localVHosts.
  1654. * $wgAntiLockFlags was removed.
  1655. * $wgJavaScriptTestConfig was removed.
  1656. * Edit tokens returned from User::getEditToken may change on every call. Token
  1657. validity must be checked by passing the user-supplied token to
  1658. User::matchEditToken rather than by testing for equality with a
  1659. newly-generated token.
  1660. * (T74951) The UserGetLanguageObject hook may be passed any IContextSource
  1661. for its $context parameter. Formerly it was documented as receiving a
  1662. RequestContext specifically.
  1663. * Profiling was restructured and $wgProfiler now requires an 'output' parameter.
  1664. See StartProfiler.sample for details.
  1665. * $wgMangleFlashPolicy was added to make MediaWiki's mangling of anything that
  1666. might be a flash policy directive configurable.
  1667. * ApiOpenSearch now supports XML output. The OpenSearchXml extension should no
  1668. longer be used. If extracts and page images are desired, the TextExtracts and
  1669. PageImages extensions are required.
  1670. * $wgOpenSearchTemplate is deprecated in favor of $wgOpenSearchTemplates.
  1671. * Edits are now prepared via AJAX as users type edit summaries. This behavior
  1672. can be disabled via $wgAjaxEditStash.
  1673. * (T46740) The temporary option $wgIncludejQueryMigrate was removed, along
  1674. with the jQuery Migrate library, as indicated when this option was provided in
  1675. MediaWiki 1.24.
  1676. * ProfilerStandard and ProfilerSimpleTrace were removed. Make sure that any
  1677. StartProfiler.php config is updated to reflect this. Xhprof is available
  1678. for zend/hhvm. Also, for hhvm, one can consider using its xenon profiler.
  1679. * Default value of $wgSVGConverters['rsvg'] now uses the 'rsvg-convert' binary
  1680. rather than 'rsvg'.
  1681. * Default value of $wgSVGConverters['ImageMagick'] now uses transparent
  1682. background with white fallback color, rather than just white background.
  1683. * MediaWikiBagOStuff class removed, make sure any object cache config
  1684. uses SqlBagOStuff instead.
  1685. * The 'daemonized' flag must be set to true in $wgJobTypeConf for any redis
  1686. job queues. This means that mediawiki/services/jobrunner service has to
  1687. be installed and running for any such queues to work.
  1688. * $wgAutopromoteOnce no longer supports the 'view' event. For keeping some
  1689. compatibility, any 'view' event triggers will still trigger on 'edit'.
  1690. * $wgExtensionDirectory was added for when your extensions directory is somewhere
  1691. other than $IP/extensions (as $wgStyleDirectory does with the skins directory).
  1692. === New features in 1.25 ===
  1693. * (T64861) Updated plural rules to CLDR 26. Includes incompatible changes
  1694. for plural forms in Russian, Prussian, Tagalog, Manx and several languages
  1695. that fall back to Russian.
  1696. * (T60139) ResourceLoaderFileModule now supports language fallback
  1697. for 'languageScripts'.
  1698. * Added a new hook, "ContentAlterParserOutput", to allow extensions to modify the
  1699. parser output for a content object before links update.
  1700. * (T37785) Enhanced recent changes and extended watchlist are now default.
  1701. Documentation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Enhanced_recent_changes
  1702. and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgDefaultUserOptions.
  1703. * (T69341) SVG images will no longer be base64-encoded when being embedded
  1704. in CSS. This results in slight size increase before gzip compression (due to
  1705. percent-encoding), but up to 20% decrease after it.
  1706. * Update jStorage to v0.4.12.
  1707. * MediaWiki now natively supports page status indicators: icons (or short text
  1708. snippets) usually displayed in the top-right corner of the page. They have
  1709. been in use on Wikipedia for a long time, implemented using templates and CSS
  1710. absolute positioning.
  1711. - Basic wikitext syntax: <indicator name="foo">[[File:Foo.svg|20px]]</indicator>
  1712. - Usage instructions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Page_status_indicators
  1713. - Adjusting custom skins to support indicators:
  1714. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Skinning#Page_status_indicators
  1715. * Edit tokens may now be time-limited: passing a maximum age to
  1716. User::matchEditToken will reject any older tokens.
  1717. * The debug logging internals have been overhauled, and are now using the
  1718. PSR-3 interfaces.
  1719. * Update CSSJanus to v1.1.1.
  1720. * Update lessphp to v0.5.0.
  1721. * Added a hook, "ApiOpenSearchSuggest", to allow extensions to provide extracts
  1722. and images for ApiOpenSearch output. The semantics are identical to the
  1723. "OpenSearchXml" hook provided by the OpenSearchXml extension.
  1724. * PrefixSearchBackend hook now has an $offset parameter. Combined with $limit,
  1725. this allows for pagination of prefix results. Extensions using this hook
  1726. should implement supporting behavior. Not doing so can result in undefined
  1727. behavior from API clients trying to continue through prefix results.
  1728. * Update jQuery from v1.11.1 to v1.11.3.
  1729. * External libraries installed via composer will now be displayed
  1730. on Special:Version in their own section. Extensions or skins that are
  1731. installed via composer will not be shown in this section as it is assumed
  1732. they will add the proper credits to the skins or extensions section. They
  1733. can also be accessed through the API via the new siprop=libraries to
  1734. ApiQuerySiteInfo.
  1735. * Update QUnit from v1.14.0 to v1.16.0.
  1736. * Update Moment.js from v2.8.3 to v2.8.4.
  1737. * Special:Tags now allows for manipulating the list of user-modifiable change
  1738. tags.
  1739. * Added 'managetags' user right and 'ChangeTagCanCreate', 'ChangeTagCanDelete',
  1740. and 'ChangeTagCanCreate' hooks to allow for managing user-modifiable change
  1741. tags.
  1742. * Added 'ChangeTagsListActive' hook, to separate the concepts of "defined" and
  1743. "active" formerly conflated by the 'ListDefinedTags' hook.
  1744. * Added TemplateParser class that provides a server-side interface to cachable
  1745. dynamically-compiled Mustache templates (currently uses lightncandy library).
  1746. * Clickable anchors for each section heading in the content are now generated
  1747. and appear in the gutter on hovering over the heading.
  1748. * Added 'CategoryViewer::doCategoryQuery' and 'CategoryViewer::generateLink' hooks
  1749. to allow extensions to override how links to pages are rendered within NS_CATEGORY
  1750. * (T19665) Special:WantedPages only lists page which having at least one red link
  1751. pointing to it.
  1752. * New hooks 'ApiMain::moduleManager' and 'ApiQuery::moduleManager', can be
  1753. used for conditional registration of API modules.
  1754. * New hook 'EnhancedChangesList::getLogText' to alter, remove or add to the
  1755. links of a group of changes in EnhancedChangesList.
  1756. * A full interface for StatsD metric reporting has been added to the context
  1757. interface, reachable via IContextSource::getStats().
  1758. * Move the jQuery Client library from being mastered in MediaWiki as v0.1.0 to a
  1759. proper, published library, which is now tagged as v1.0.0.
  1760. * A new message (defaulting to blank), 'editnotice-notext', can be shown to users
  1761. when they are editing if no edit notices apply to the page being edited.
  1762. * (T94536) You can now make the sitenotice appear to logged-in users only by
  1763. editing MediaWiki:Anonnotice and replacing its content with "". Setting it to
  1764. "-" (default) will continue disable it and fallback to MediaWiki:Sitenotice.
  1765. * Modifying the tagging of a revision or log entry is now available via
  1766. Special:EditTags, generally accessed via the revision-deletion-like interface
  1767. on history pages and Special:Log is likely to be more useful.
  1768. * Added 'applychangetags' and 'changetags' user rights.
  1769. * (T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting the
  1770. parameters for API log event output. Extensions should implement the new
  1771. getParametersForApi() method in their log formatters.
  1772. ==== External libraries ====
  1773. * MediaWiki now requires certain external libraries to be installed. In the past
  1774. these were bundled inside the Git repository of MediaWiki core, but now they
  1775. need to be installed separately. For users using the tarball, this will be taken
  1776. care of and no action will be required. Users using Git will either need to use
  1777. composer to fetch dependencies or use the mediawiki/vendor repository which includes
  1778. all dependencies for MediaWiki core and ones used in Wikimedia deployment. Detailed
  1779. instructions can be found at:
  1780. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Fetch_external_libraries
  1781. * The following libraries are now required:
  1782. ** psr/log
  1783. This library provides the interfaces set by the PSR-3 standard (http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/)
  1784. which are used by MediaWiki internally via the
  1785. MediaWiki\Logger\LoggerFactory class.
  1786. See the structured logging RfC (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Requests_for_comment/Structured_logging)
  1787. for more background information.
  1788. ** cssjanus/cssjanus
  1789. This library was formerly bundled with MediaWiki core and has been removed.
  1790. It automatically flips CSS for RTL support.
  1791. ** leafo/lessphp
  1792. This library was formerly bundled with MediaWiki core and has been removed.
  1793. It compiles LESS files into CSS.
  1794. ** wikimedia/cdb
  1795. This library was formerly a part of MediaWiki core, and has been moved into a separate library.
  1796. It provides CDB functions which are used in the Interwiki and Localization caches.
  1797. More information about the library can be found at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/CDB.
  1798. ** liuggio/statsd-php-client
  1799. This library provides a StatsD client API for logging application metrics to a remote server.
  1800. === Bug fixes in 1.25 ===
  1801. * (T73003) No additional code will be generated to try to load CSS-embedded
  1802. SVG images in Internet Explorer 6 and 7, as they don't support them anyway.
  1803. * (T69021) On Special:BookSources, corrected validation of ISBNs (both
  1804. 10- and 13-digit forms) containing "X".
  1805. * Page moving was refactored into a MovePage class. As part of that:
  1806. ** The AbortMove hook was removed.
  1807. ** MovePageIsValidMove is for extensions to specify whether a page
  1808. cannot be moved for technical reasons, and should not be overridden.
  1809. ** MovePageCheckPermissions is for checking whether the given user is
  1810. allowed to make the move.
  1811. ** Title::moveNoAuth() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.
  1812. ** Title::moveTo() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.
  1813. ** Title::isValidMoveOperation() broken down into MovePage::isValidMove()
  1814. and MovePage::checkPermissions().
  1815. * (T18530) Multiple autocomments are now formatted in an edit summary.
  1816. * (T70361) Autocomments containing "/*" are parsed correctly.
  1817. * The Special:WhatLinksHere page linked from 'Number of redirects to this page'
  1818. on action=info about a file page does not list file links anymore.
  1819. * (T78637) Search bar is not autofocused unless it is empty so that proper scrolling using arrow keys is possible.
  1820. * (T50853) Database::makeList() modified to handle 'NULL' separately when building IN clause
  1821. * (T85192) Captcha position modified in Usercreate template. As a result:
  1822. ** extrafields parameter added to Usercreate.php to insert additional data
  1823. ** 'extend' method added to QuickTemplate to append additional values to any field of data array
  1824. * (T86974) Several Title methods now load from the database when necessary
  1825. (instead of returning incorrect results) even when the page ID is known.
  1826. * (T74070) Duplicate search for archived files on file upload now omits the extension.
  1827. This requires the fa_sha1 field being populated.
  1828. * Removed rel="archives" from the "View history" link, as it did not pass
  1829. HTML validation.
  1830. * $wgUseTidy is now set when parserTests are run with the tidy option to match
  1831. output on wiki.
  1832. * (T37472) update.php will purge ResourceLoader cache unless --nopurge is passed to it.
  1833. * (T72109) mediawiki.language should respect $wgTranslateNumerals in convertNumber().
  1834. === Action API changes in 1.25 ===
  1835. * (T67403) XML tag highlighting is now only performed for formats
  1836. "xmlfm" and "wddxfm".
  1837. * action=paraminfo supports generalized submodules (modules=query+value),
  1838. querymodules and formatmodules are deprecated
  1839. * action=paraminfo no longer outputs descriptions and other help text by
  1840. default. If needed, it may be requested using the new 'helpformat' parameter.
  1841. * action=help has been completely rewritten, and outputs help in HTML
  1842. rather than plain text.
  1843. * Hitting api.php without specifying an action now displays only the help for
  1844. the main module, with links to submodule help.
  1845. * API help is no longer displayed on errors.
  1846. * 'uselang' is now a recognized API parameter; "uselang=user" may be used to
  1847. explicitly select the language from the current user's preferences, and
  1848. "uselang=content" may be used to select the wiki's content language.
  1849. * Default output format for the API is now jsonfm.
  1850. * Simplified continuation will return a "batchcomplete" property in the result
  1851. when a batch of pages is complete.
  1852. * Pretty-printed HTML output now has nicer formatting and (if available)
  1853. better syntax highlighting.
  1854. * Deprecated list=deletedrevs in favor of newly-added prop=deletedrevisions and
  1855. list=alldeletedrevisions.
  1856. * prop=revisions will gracefully continue when given too many revids or titles,
  1857. rather than just ignoring the extras.
  1858. * prop=revisions will no longer die if rvcontentformat doesn't match a
  1859. revision's content model; it will instead warn and omit the content.
  1860. * If the user has the 'deletedhistory' right, action=query's revids parameter
  1861. will now recognize deleted revids.
  1862. * prop=revisions may be used as a generator, generating revids.
  1863. * (T68776) format=json results will no longer be corrupted when
  1864. $wgMangleFlashPolicy is in effect. format=php results will cleanly return an
  1865. error instead of returning invalid serialized data.
  1866. * Generators may now return data for the generated pages when used with
  1867. action=query.
  1868. * Query page data for generator=search and generator=prefixsearch will now
  1869. include an "index" field, which may be used by the client for sorting the
  1870. search results.
  1871. * ApiOpenSearch now supports XML output.
  1872. * ApiOpenSearch will now output descriptions and URLs as array indexes 2 and 3
  1873. in JSON format.
  1874. * (T76051) list=tags will now continue correctly.
  1875. * (T76052) list=tags can now indicate whether a tag is defined.
  1876. * (T75522) list=prefixsearch now supports continuation
  1877. * (T78737) action=expandtemplates can now return page properties.
  1878. * (T78690) list=allimages now accepts multiple pipe-separated values
  1879. for the 'aimime' parameter.
  1880. * prop=info with inprop=protections will now return applicable protection types
  1881. with the 'restrictiontypes' key.
  1882. * (T85417) When resolving redirects, ApiPageSet will now add the targets of
  1883. interwiki redirects to the list of interwiki titles.
  1884. * (T85417) When outputting the list of redirect titles, a 'tointerwiki'
  1885. property (like the existing 'tofragment' property) will be set.
  1886. * Added action=managetags to allow for managing the list of
  1887. user-modifiable change tags. Actually modifying the tagging of a revision or
  1888. log entry is not implemented yet.
  1889. * list=tags has additional properties to indicate 'active' status and tag
  1890. sources.
  1891. * siprop=libraries was added to ApiQuerySiteInfo to list installed external libraries.
  1892. * (T88010) Added action=checktoken, to test a CSRF token's validity.
  1893. * (T88010) Added intestactions to prop=info, to allow querying of
  1894. Title::userCan() via the API.
  1895. * Default type param for query list=watchlist and list=recentchanges has
  1896. been changed from all types (e.g. including 'external') to 'edit|new|log'.
  1897. * Added formatversion to format=json. Still "experimental" as further changes
  1898. to the output formatting might still be made.
  1899. * (T73020) Log event details are now always under a 'params' subkey for
  1900. list=logevents, and a 'logparams' subkey for list=watchlist and
  1901. list=recentchanges.
  1902. * Log event details are changing formatting:
  1903. * block events now report flags as an array rather than as a comma-separated
  1904. list.
  1905. * patrol events now report the 'auto' flag as a boolean (absent/empty string
  1906. for BC formats) rather than as an integer.
  1907. * rights events now report the old and new group lists as arrays rather than
  1908. as comma-separated lists.
  1909. * merge events use new-style formatting.
  1910. * delete/event and delete/revision events use new-style formatting.
  1911. * The root node and various other nodes will now always be an object in formats
  1912. such as json that distinguish between arrays and objects.
  1913. * Except for action=opensearch where the spec requires an array.
  1914. === Action API internal changes in 1.25 ===
  1915. * ApiHelp has been rewritten to support i18n and paginated HTML output.
  1916. Most existing modules should continue working without changes, but should do
  1917. the following:
  1918. * Add an i18n message "apihelp-{$moduleName}-description" to replace getDescription().
  1919. * Add i18n messages "apihelp-{$moduleName}-param-{$param}" for each parameter
  1920. to replace getParamDescription(). If necessary, the settings array returned
  1921. by getParams() can use the new ApiBase::PARAM_HELP_MSG key to override the
  1922. message.
  1923. * Implement getExamplesMessages() to replace getExamples().
  1924. * Modules with submodules (like action=query) must have their submodules
  1925. override ApiBase::getParent() to return the correct parent object.
  1926. * The 'APIGetDescription' and 'APIGetParamDescription' hooks are deprecated,
  1927. and will have no effect for modules using i18n messages. Use
  1928. 'APIGetDescriptionMessages' and 'APIGetParamDescriptionMessages' instead.
  1929. * Api formatters will no longer be asked to display the help screen on errors.
  1930. * ApiMain::getCredits() was removed. The credits are available in the
  1931. 'api-credits' i18n message.
  1932. * ApiFormatBase has been changed to support i18n and syntax highlighting via
  1933. extensions with the new 'ApiFormatHighlight' hook. Core syntax highlighting
  1934. has been removed.
  1935. * ApiFormatBase now always buffers. Output is done when
  1936. ApiFormatBase::closePrinter is called.
  1937. * Much of the logic in ApiQueryRevisions has been split into ApiQueryRevisionsBase.
  1938. * The 'revids' parameter supplied by ApiPageSet will now count deleted
  1939. revisions as "good" if the user has the 'deletedhistory' right. New methods
  1940. ApiPageSet::getLiveRevisionIDs() and ApiPageSet::getDeletedRevisionIDs() are
  1941. provided to access just the live or just the deleted revids.
  1942. * Added ApiPageSet::setGeneratorData() and ApiPageSet::populateGeneratorData()
  1943. to allow generators to include data in the action=query result.
  1944. * New hooks 'ApiMain::moduleManager' and 'ApiQuery::moduleManager', can be
  1945. used for conditional registration of API modules.
  1946. * Added ApiBase::lacksSameOriginSecurity() to allow modules to easily check if
  1947. the current request was sent with the 'callback' parameter (or any future
  1948. method that breaks the same-origin policy).
  1949. * Profiling methods in ApiBase are deprecated and no longer need to be called.
  1950. * ApiResult was greatly overhauled. See inline documentation for details.
  1951. * ApiResult will automatically convert objects to strings or arrays (depending
  1952. on whether a __toString() method exists on the object), and will refuse to
  1953. add unsupported value types.
  1954. * An informal interface, ApiSerializable, exists to override the default
  1955. object conversion.
  1956. * ApiResult/ApiFormatBase "raw mode" is deprecated.
  1957. * ApiFormatXml now assumes defaults and so on instead of throwing errors when
  1958. metadata isn't set.
  1959. * (T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting log event
  1960. parameters for the API.
  1961. * Many modules have changed result data formats. While this shouldn't affect
  1962. clients not using the experimental formatversion=2, code using
  1963. ApiResult::getResultData() without the transformations for backwards
  1964. compatibility may need updating, as will code that wasn't following the old
  1965. conventions for API boolean output.
  1966. * The following methods have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
  1967. release:
  1968. * ApiBase::getDescription
  1969. * ApiBase::getParamDescription
  1970. * ApiBase::getExamples
  1971. * ApiBase::makeHelpMsg
  1972. * ApiBase::makeHelpArrayToString
  1973. * ApiBase::makeHelpMsgParameters
  1974. * ApiBase::getModuleProfileName
  1975. * ApiBase::profileIn
  1976. * ApiBase::profileOut
  1977. * ApiBase::safeProfileOut
  1978. * ApiBase::getProfileTime
  1979. * ApiBase::profileDBIn
  1980. * ApiBase::profileDBOut
  1981. * ApiBase::getProfileDBTime
  1982. * ApiBase::getResultData
  1983. * ApiFormatBase::setUnescapeAmps
  1984. * ApiFormatBase::getWantsHelp
  1985. * ApiFormatBase::setHelp
  1986. * ApiFormatBase::formatHTML
  1987. * ApiFormatBase::setBufferResult
  1988. * ApiFormatBase::getDescription
  1989. * ApiFormatBase::getNeedsRawData
  1990. * ApiMain::setHelp
  1991. * ApiMain::reallyMakeHelpMsg
  1992. * ApiMain::makeHelpMsgHeader
  1993. * ApiResult::setRawMode
  1994. * ApiResult::getIsRawMode
  1995. * ApiResult::getData
  1996. * ApiResult::setElement
  1997. * ApiResult::setContent
  1998. * ApiResult::setIndexedTagName_recursive
  1999. * ApiResult::setIndexedTagName_internal
  2000. * ApiResult::setParsedLimit
  2001. * ApiResult::beginContinuation
  2002. * ApiResult::setContinueParam
  2003. * ApiResult::setGeneratorContinueParam
  2004. * ApiResult::endContinuation
  2005. * ApiResult::size
  2006. * ApiResult::convertStatusToArray
  2007. * ApiQueryImageInfo::getPropertyDescriptions
  2008. * ApiQueryLogEvents::addLogParams
  2009. * The following classes have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
  2010. release:
  2011. * ApiQueryDeletedrevs
  2012. === Languages updated in 1.25 ===
  2013. MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
  2014. regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
  2015. changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
  2016. * Languages added:
  2017. ** awa (अवधी / Awadhi), thanks to translator 1AnuraagPandey;
  2018. ** bgn (بلوچی رخشانی / Western Balochi), thanks to translators
  2019. Baloch Afghanistan, Ibrahim khashrowdi and Rachitrali;
  2020. ** ses (Koyraboro Senni), thanks to translator Songhay.
  2021. * (T66440) Kazakh (kk) wikis should no longer forcefully reset the user's
  2022. interface language to kk where unexpected.
  2023. * The Chinese conversion table was substantially updated to fix a lot of
  2024. bugs and ensure better reading experience for different variants.
  2025. === Other changes in 1.25 ===
  2026. * (T45591) Links to MediaWiki.org translatable help were added to indicators,
  2027. mostly in special pages. Local custom target titles can be placed in the
  2028. relevant '(namespace-X|action name|special page name)-helppage' system
  2029. message. Extensions can use the addHelpLink() function to do the same.
  2030. * The skin autodiscovery mechanism, deprecated in MediaWiki 1.23, has been
  2031. removed. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery for
  2032. migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.
  2033. * Javascript variables 'wgFileCanRotate' and 'wgFileExtensions' now only
  2034. available on Special:Upload.
  2035. * (T58257) Set site logo from mediawiki.skinning.interface module instead of
  2036. inline styles in the HTML.
  2037. * Removed ApiQueryUsers::getAutoGroups(). (deprecated since 1.20)
  2038. * Removed XmlDumpWriter::schemaVersion(). (deprecated since 1.20)
  2039. * Removed LogEventsList::getDisplayTitle(). (deprecated since 1.20)
  2040. * Removed Preferences::trySetUserEmail(). (deprecated since 1.20)
  2041. * Removed mw.user.name() and mw.user.anonymous() methods. (deprecated since 1.20)
  2042. * Removed 'ok' and 'err' parameters in the mediawiki.api modules. (deprecated
  2043. since 1.20)
  2044. * Removed 'async' parameter from the mw.Api#getCategories() method. (deprecated
  2045. since 1.20)
  2046. * Removed 'jquery.json' module. (deprecated since 1.24)
  2047. Use the 'json' module and global JSON object instead.
  2048. * Deprecated OutputPage::readOnlyPage() and OutputPage::rateLimited().
  2049. Also, the former will now throw an MWException if called with one or more
  2050. arguments.
  2051. * Removed hitcounters and associated code.
  2052. * The "temp" zone of the upload respository is now considered private. If it
  2053. already exists (such as under the images/ directory), please make sure that
  2054. the directory is not web readable (e.g. via a .htaccess file).
  2055. * BREAKING CHANGE: In the XML dump format used by Special:Export and
  2056. dumpBackup.php, the <model> and <format> tags now apprear before the <text>
  2057. tag, instead of after the <text> and <sha1> tags.
  2058. The new schema version is 0.10, the new schema URI is:
  2059. https://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.10.xsd
  2060. * MWFunction::call() and MWFunction::callArray() were removed, having being
  2061. deprecated in 1.22.
  2062. * Deprecated the getInternalLinkAttributes, getInternalLinkAttributesObj,
  2063. and getInternalLinkAttributes methods in Linker, and removed
  2064. getExternalLinkAttributes method, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.18.
  2065. * Removed Sites class, which was deprecated in 1.21 and replaced by SiteSQLStore.
  2066. * Added wgRelevantArticleId to the client-side config, for use on special pages.
  2067. * Deprecated the TitleIsCssOrJsPage hook. Superseded by the
  2068. ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook since MediaWiki 1.21.
  2069. * Deprecated the TitleIsWikitextPage hook. Superseded by the
  2070. ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook since MediaWiki 1.21.
  2071. * Changed parsing of variables in schema (.sql) files:
  2072. ** The substituted values are no longer parsed. (Formerly, several passes
  2073. were made for each variable, so depending on the order in which variables
  2074. were defined, variables might have been found inside encoded values. This
  2075. is no longer the case.)
  2076. ** Variables are no longer string encoded when the /*$var*/ syntax is used.
  2077. If string encoding is necessary, use the '{$var}' syntax instead.
  2078. ** Variable names must only consist of one or more of the characters
  2079. "A-Za-z0-9_".
  2080. ** In source text of the form '{$A}'{$B}' or `{$A}`{$B}`, where variable A
  2081. does not exist yet variable B does, the latter may not be replaced.
  2082. However, this difference is unlikely to arise in practice.
  2083. * (T67278) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" must be surrounded by non-word
  2084. characters on both sides.
  2085. * The FormatAutocomments hook will now receive $pre and $post as booleans,
  2086. rather than as strings that must be prepended or appended to $comment.
  2087. * (T30950, T31025) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" can no longer contain
  2088. newlines; but they can contain &nbsp; and other non-newline whitespace.
  2089. * The 'mediawiki.action.edit' ResourceLoader module no longer generates the edit
  2090. toolbar, which has been moved to a separate 'mediawiki.toolbar' module. If you
  2091. relied on this behavior, update your scripts' dependencies.
  2092. * HTMLForm's 'vform' display style has been separated to a subclass. Therefore:
  2093. * HTMLForm::isVForm() is now deprecated.
  2094. * You can no longer do this:
  2095. $form = new HTMLForm( … );
  2096. $form->setDisplayFormat( 'vform' ); // throws exception
  2097. Instead, do this:
  2098. $form = HTMLForm::factory( 'vform', … );
  2099. * Deprecated Revision methods getRawUser(), getRawUserText() and getRawComment().
  2100. * BREAKING CHANGE: mediawiki.user.generateRandomSessionId:
  2101. The alphabet of the prior string returned was A-Za-z0-9 and now it is 0-9A-F
  2102. * (T87504) Avoid serving SVG background-images in CSS for Opera 12, which
  2103. renders them incorrectly when combined with border-radius or background-size.
  2104. * Removed maintenance script dumpSisterSites.php.
  2105. * DatabaseBase class constructors must be called using the array argument style.
  2106. Ideally, DatabaseBase:factory() should be used instead in most cases.
  2107. * Deprecated ParserOutput::addSecondaryDataUpdate and ParserOutput::getSecondaryDataUpdates.
  2108. This is a hard deprecation, with getSecondaryDataUpdates returning an empty array and
  2109. addSecondaryDataUpdate throwing an exception. These functions will be removed in 1.26,
  2110. since they interfere with caching of ParserOutput objects.
  2111. * Introduced new hook 'SecondaryDataUpdates' that allows extensions to inject custom updates.
  2112. * Introduced new hook 'OpportunisticLinksUpdate' that allows extensions to perform
  2113. updates when a page is re-rendered.
  2114. * EditPage::attemptSave has been modified not to call handleStatus itself and
  2115. instead just returns the Status object. Extension calling it should be aware of
  2116. this.
  2117. * Removed class DBObject. (unused since 1.10)
  2118. * wfDiff() is deprecated.
  2119. * The -m (maximum replication lag) option of refreshLinks.php was removed.
  2120. It had no effect since MediaWiki 1.18 and should be removed from any cron
  2121. jobs or similar scripts you may have set up.
  2122. * (T85864) The following messages no longer support raw html: redirectto,
  2123. thisisdeleted, viewdeleted, editlink, retrievedfrom, version-poweredby-others,
  2124. retrievedfrom, thisisdeleted, viewsourcelink, lastmodifiedat, laggedslavemode,
  2125. protect-summary-cascade
  2126. * All BloomCache related code has been removed. This was largely experimental.
  2127. * $wgResourceModuleSkinStyles no longer supports per-module local or remote paths. They
  2128. can only be set for the entire skin.
  2129. * Removed global function swap(). (deprecated since 1.24)
  2130. * Deprecated the ".php5" file extension entry points and the $wgScriptExtension
  2131. configuration variable. Refer to the ".php" files instead. If you want
  2132. ".php5" URLs to continue to work, set up redirects. In Apache, this can be
  2133. done by enabling mod_rewrite and adding the following rules to your
  2134. configuration:
  2135. RewriteEngine On
  2136. RewriteBase /
  2137. RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php5 $1.php [R=301,L]
  2138. * The global importScriptURI and importStylesheetURI functions, as well as the
  2139. loadedScripts object, from wikibits.js (deprecated since 1.17) now emit
  2140. warnings through mw.log.warn when accessed.

  2219. == MediaWiki 1.24.0 ==
  2220. === Configuration changes in 1.24 ===
  2221. * MediaWiki will no longer run if register_globals is enabled. It has been
  2222. deprecated for 5 years now, and was removed in PHP 5.4. For more information
  2223. about why, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/register_globals>.
  2224. * MediaWiki now requires PHP's iconv extension. openSUSE users may need to
  2225. install the php5-iconv package. Users of other systems may need to add
  2226. extension=iconv.so to php.ini or recompile PHP without --without-iconv.
  2227. * MediaWiki will no longer function if magic quotes are enabled. It has
  2228. been deprecated for 5 years now, and was removed in PHP 5.4.
  2229. * The server's canonical hostname is available as $wgServerName, which is
  2230. exposed in both mw.config and ApiQuerySiteInfo.
  2231. * Introduced $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey as a backwards-compatibility switch,
  2232. for using the old schema of the page_props table, in case the respective
  2233. schema update was not applied.
  2234. * $wgSearchEverythingOnlyLoggedIn was removed as the 'searcheverything'
  2235. user option was removed. Use $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault instead or
  2236. if you used to have $wgDefaultUserOptions['searcheverything'] = 1.
  2237. * $wgMasterWaitTimeout has been deprecated.
  2238. * $wgDBClusterTimeout has been removed.
  2239. * $wgProxyKey has been removed. It is no longer used by MediaWiki core.
  2240. Ensure $wgSecretKey is set in LocalSettings.php.
  2241. * $wgExtraInterlanguageLinkPrefixes is a new configuration variable that
  2242. contains an array of interwiki prefixes that should be treated as language
  2243. prefixes (i.e. turned into interlanguage links when $wgInterwikiMagic is set
  2244. to true).
  2245. * $wgParserTestRemote has been removed.
  2246. * $wgCountTotalSearchHits has been removed. If you're concerned about efficiency
  2247. of search, you should use something like CirrusSearch instead of built in
  2248. search.
  2249. * Users in the 'sysop' group have access to Special:MergeHistory by default.
  2250. * $wgFileStore was removed after having been deprecated in 1.17. Alternative
  2251. configurations are $wgDeletedDirectory and $wgHashedUploadDirectory.
  2252. * The deprecated $wgUseCommaCount variable has been removed.
  2253. * $wgEnableSorbs and $wgSorbsUrl have been removed.
  2254. * The UserCryptPassword and UserComparePassword hooks are no longer called.
  2255. Any extensions using them must be updated to use the Password Hashing API.
  2256. * $wgCompiledFiles has been removed.
  2257. * $wgSortSpecialPages was removed, the listing on Special:SpecialPages is
  2258. now always sorted.
  2259. * $wgSpecialPages may now use callback functions as an alternative to plain class names.
  2260. This allows more control over constructor parameters.
  2261. * $wgHTCPMulticastAddress, $wgHTCPMulticastRouting and $wgHTCPPort were removed.
  2262. * $wgRC2UDPAddress, $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix, $wgRC2UDPOmitBots, $wgRC2UDPPort
  2263. and $wgRC2UDPPrefix have been removed.
  2264. * The default password type for MediaWiki has been changed from MD5 to PBKDF2.
  2265. Password hashes will automatically be updated as users log in. If necessary, the
  2266. old MD5 hashing can be restored by changing $wgPasswordDefault to 'B'. In addition,
  2267. there is a maintenance script wrapOldPassword.php that can wrap all passwords in
  2268. PBKDF2 (or the hashing algorithm of your choice) if you don't want to wait for your
  2269. users to log in.
  2270. * $wgImportSources can now either be a regular array, or an associative map
  2271. specifying subprojects on the interwiki map of the target wiki, or a mix of
  2272. the two. Existing configurations will still work.
  2273. * Users must be able to edit through a page's protection to be able to delete it.
  2274. * The default thumb size ($wgDefaultUserOptions['thumbsize']) is now 300px, up from
  2275. 180px. If you have altered the number of entries in $wgThumbLimits for your wiki, you
  2276. may need to adjust your default user settings to compensate for the index change.
  2277. * $wgDeferredUpdateList is now deprecated, you should use DeferredUpdates::addUpdate()
  2278. instead.
  2279. * $wgCanonicalLanguageLinks has been removed. Per Google recommendations, we
  2280. will not send a rel=canonical pointing to a variant-neutral page, however
  2281. we will send rel=alternate.
  2282. * $wgResourceLoaderLESSFunctions has been deprecated and will be removed in the future.
  2283. * $wgGoToEdit has been removed. Use the SpecialSearchNogomatch hook for similar
  2284. functionality.
  2285. === New features in 1.24 ===
  2286. * Added new hook WatchlistEditorBeforeFormRender, allowing subscribers to
  2287. manipulate the list of pages and/or preload lots of data at once.
  2288. * Added new argument &$link in hook WatchlistEditorBuildRemoveLine, allowing the
  2289. link to the title to be changed.
  2290. * Added a new hook, "WhatLinksHereProps", to allow extensions to annotate
  2291. WhatLinksHere entries.
  2292. * Added a new hook, "ContentGetParserOutput", to customize parser output for
  2293. a given content object.
  2294. * Deprecated the hook "ShowRawCssJs", use "ContentGetParserOutput" instead.
  2295. * HTMLForm's HTMLTextField now supports the 'url' type.
  2296. * HTMLForm fields may now be dynamically hidden based on the values of other
  2297. fields in the form.
  2298. * HTMLForm now supports multiple copies of an input field or set of input
  2299. fields, e.g. the form may request "one or more usernames" without having to
  2300. have the user enter delimited list of names into a text field.
  2301. * Added a new hook, "SidebarBeforeOutput", to allow to edit the structure of
  2302. the sidebar just before its display.
  2303. * (bug 49156) Added the mediawiki.cookie ResourceLoader module, which wraps
  2304. jquery.cookie so that getting/setting a cookie is syntactically and
  2305. functionally similar to using the WebRequest::getCookie() and
  2306. WebResponse::setcookie() methods.
  2307. * (bug 44740) jQuery upgraded from 1.8.3 to 1.11.1. A new configuration option,
  2308. $wgIncludejQueryMigrate, also loads the jQuery Migrate hack to let extensions
  2309. and gadgets use the long-deprecated functions that were removed in jQuery 1.9.
  2310. This option is turned off by default, and will be removed in MediaWiki 1.25.
  2311. * (bug 47076) jQuery UI upgraded from 1.8.24 to 1.9.2.
  2312. * Changes to content typography (fonts, etc.). See
  2313. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
  2314. * WikitextContent will now render redirects with the expected "redirect"
  2315. header, rather than as an ordered list. Code calling Article::viewRedirect
  2316. can probably be changed to no longer special-case redirects.
  2317. * Header font set to a serif font stack. See
  2318. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
  2319. * (bug 65567) Added a new hook, "BeforeHttpsRedirect", to allow cancellation of
  2320. the HTTP to HTTPS redirect due to forceHTTPS cookie, userRequires, etc. This
  2321. is only for page views, since this hook doesn't affect UserLogin, OAuth,
  2322. CentralAuth, etc. ATTENTION: This hook is likely to be removed soon due to
  2323. overall design of the system.
  2324. * (bug 17367) It is now possible to add pages to your watchlist from
  2325. Special:UnwatchedPages without reloading the special page.
  2326. * New methods setVolatile and isVolatile are added to PPFrame, so that
  2327. extensions such as Cite.php can mark that their output is volatile and
  2328. shouldn't be cached.
  2329. * (bug 52817) Advanced search options are now saved on the search page itself,
  2330. rather than in a dedicated pane in the preferences panel.
  2331. * (bug 44591) The dropdown actions menu (little triangle next to page tabs) in
  2332. the Vector skin has gained a label that should make it more discoverable.
  2333. * MWCryptHKDF added for fast, cryptographically secure random number generation
  2334. that won't deplete openssl's entropy pool.
  2335. * ResourceLoader: File modules can now provide a skip function that uses an
  2336. inline feature test to bypass loading of the module.
  2337. * (bug 20210) Special pages may now provide autocompletion of their subpage
  2338. names in search suggestions. Right now the only useful implementation is in
  2339. Special:Log, but more are to come.
  2340. * Special:MostLinkedTemplates is no longer limited to transclusions from the
  2341. Template namespace.
  2342. * Skins can now use 'remoteSkinPath' when defining ResourceLoader modules.
  2343. This works the same as 'remoteExtPath' but is relative to the skins/ folder
  2344. instead of the extensions/ folder.
  2345. * Added the json2.js polyfill for the ES5 JSON.stringify and JSON.parse methods.
  2346. Exposed as module "json" with a skip function to optimise loading.
  2347. * Extensions and skins may now use 'namemsg' in $wgExtensionCredits in addition
  2348. to 'name', to allow for the name to be localizable. 'name' should still be
  2349. specified for backwards-compatibility and to define the path Special:Version
  2350. uses to find extension license information.
  2351. * Browser tests are now included to verify basic wiki functionality in developer
  2352. environments. For details on running tests, see tests/browser/README.mediawiki.
  2353. * Upgrade jStorage to v0.4.10.
  2354. * {{!}} is now a magic word that produces the | character. This removes the need
  2355. for Template:! for purposes such as passing pipes inside of parameters.
  2356. * (bug 20790) The block log snippet on Special:Contributions and while
  2357. editing user and user talk pages now works for IP range blocks.
  2358. * (bug 9360) Added ability to change the page language for MediaWiki pages using
  2359. Special:PageLanguage. All pages are set to wiki language by default.
  2360. The feature needs to be enabled with $wgPageLanguageUseDB=true and
  2361. permission needs to be set for 'pagelang'.
  2362. * Upgrade Moment.js to v2.8.3.
  2363. * (bug 67042) Added support for the HTML5 <rtc> tag for East Asian typography.
  2364. * Upgrade Sinon.JS to 1.10.3.
  2365. * Added the es5-shim polyfill for older or non-compliant javascript engines.
  2366. * Upgrade jQuery Cookie to v1.3.1.
  2367. * (bug 20476) Add a "viewsuppressed" user right to be able to view
  2368. suppressed content but not suppress it ("suppressrevision" right).
  2369. * (bug 66440) The MediaWiki web installer will now allow you to choose the skins
  2370. to enable (from the ones included in download tarball) and decide which one
  2371. should be the default.
  2372. * (bug 68085, 68802) Links like [[localInterwikiPrefix:languageCode:pageTitle]],
  2373. where localInterwikiPrefix is a member of the $wgLocalInterwikis array, will
  2374. no longer be displayed in the sidebar when $wgInterwikiMagic is true. In a
  2375. similar way, links like [[localInterwikiPrefix:File:Image.png]] and
  2376. [[localInterwikiPrefix:Category:Hello]] will now render as regular links, and
  2377. will not include the file or add the page to the category.
  2378. * New special page, MyLanguage, to redirect users to subpages with localised
  2379. versions of a page. (Integrated from Extension:Translate)
  2380. * MediaWiki now supports multiple password types, including bcrypt and PBKDF2.
  2381. The default type can be changed with $wgPasswordDefault and the type
  2382. configurations can be changed with $wgPasswordConfig.
  2383. * Skins can now define custom styles for default ResourceLoader modules using
  2384. the $wgResourceModuleSkinStyles global. See the Vector skin for examples.
  2385. * (bug 4488) There is now a preference to watch pages where the user has
  2386. rollbacked an edit by default.
  2387. * (bug 15484) Users will now be redirected to the login page when they need to
  2388. log in, rather than being shown a page asking them to log in and having to click
  2389. another link to actually get to the login page.
  2390. * A JsonContent and JsonContentHandler were added for extensions to extend.
  2391. * (bug 35045) Redirects to sections will now update the URL in browser's address
  2392. bar using the HTML5 History API. When [[Dog]] redirects to [[Animals#Dog]],
  2393. the user will now see "Animals#Dog" in their browser instead of "Dog#Dog".
  2394. * API token handling has been rewritten. Any API module using tokens will need
  2395. to be updated. See the entry below under "Action API internal changes".
  2396. * Added HTMLAutoCompleteSelectField.
  2397. * Added a new hook, "SkinPreloadExistence", to allow extensions to add titles to
  2398. link existence cache before the page is rendered.
  2399. * Config::set() was moved to its own interface, MutableConfig. GlobalVarConfig::set()
  2400. is now deprecated, does not implement MutableConfig.
  2401. * A MutableConfig named HashConfig was added, that stores an array of configuration
  2402. settings.
  2403. * (bug 69418) A MultiConfig implementation was added that supports fallback
  2404. to multiple Config instances.
  2405. * Update CSSJanus to v1.1.0.
  2406. * Added FormatJson::parse() returning status with result or localized error message
  2407. * Added DeletedContribsPager::reallyDoQuery hook allowing extensions to data to
  2408. Special:DeletedContributions
  2409. * Added DeletedContributionsLineEnding hook allowing extensions to format
  2410. Special:DeletedContributions lines
  2411. * (T69525) You can now make MediaWiki speed up its thumbnail rendering by using
  2412. intermediary thumbnails. $wgThumbnailBuckets must be set to a list of target
  2413. thumbnail widths; when a new thumbnail needs to be rendered, MediaWiki will
  2414. find the smallest bucket smaller than the original but larger than the target
  2415. width + $wgThumbnailMinimumBucketDistance, and it will scale that thumbnail,
  2416. rather than the original, down to the target size at greater speed in return
  2417. for minor loss of fidelity.
  2418. === Bug fixes in 1.24 ===
  2419. * (bug 50572) MediaWiki:Blockip should support gender
  2420. * (bug 49116) Footer copyright notice is now always displayed in user language
  2421. rather than content language (same as copyright notice for editing interface).
  2422. * (bug 62258) A bug was fixed in File::getUnscaledThumb when a height
  2423. restriction was present in the parameters. Images with both the "frame"
  2424. option and a size specification set will now always ignore the provided
  2425. size and display an unscaled image, as the documentation has always
  2426. claimed it would.
  2427. * (bug 39035) Improved Vector skin performance by removing collapsibleNav,
  2428. which used to collapse some sidebar elements by default.
  2429. This removes -list id suffixes like p-lang-list: instead of using things like
  2430. #p-lang-list, you can do #p-lang .body ul.
  2431. * (bug 890) Links in Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist no longer
  2432. follow redirects to their target pages.
  2433. * Parser now dies early if called recursively, instead of producing subtle bugs.
  2434. * (bug 14323) Redirect pages, when viewed with redirect=no, no longer hide the
  2435. remaining page content.
  2436. * (bug 52587) Maintenance script deleteBatch.php no longer follows redirects
  2437. in the file namespace and delete the file on the target page. It will still
  2438. however delete the redirect page.
  2439. * (bug 22683) {{msgnw:}} and other uses of PPFrame::RECOVER_ORIG will correctly
  2440. recover the original code of extension tags.
  2441. * (bug 65757) MSSQL: Update script drops unnamed constraints to be prepared
  2442. for future updates. Because it's doing so heuristically, it may fail or drop
  2443. wrong constraints.
  2444. * (bug 67870) wfShellExec() cuts off stdout at multiples of 8192 bytes.
  2445. * $wgRunJobsAsync now works with private wikis (e.g. read requires login).
  2446. * (bugs 57238, 65206) Blank pages can now be directly created.
  2447. * (bug 69789) Title::getContentModel() now loads from the database when
  2448. necessary instead of incorrectly returning the default content model.
  2449. * (bug 69249) wfBaseConvert() now works around PHP Bug #50175 when using GMP.
  2450. * (bug 57909) URLs in the externallinks table will no longer have certain
  2451. characters decoded in the query string.
  2452. * (bug 67368) LESS mixins like .background-image() correctly flip image
  2453. references for RTL stylesheets now.
  2454. === Action API changes in 1.24 ===
  2455. * action=parse API now supports prop=modules, which provides the list of
  2456. ResourceLoader modules that should be used to enhance the parsed content.
  2457. * action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=interwikimap returns a new "protorel"
  2458. field which is true if protocol-relative urls can be used to access
  2459. a particular interwiki map entry.
  2460. * list=logevents now provides logpage, which is the page ID from the
  2461. logging table, if ids are requested and the user has the permissions.
  2462. * action=edit now requires that appendtext, prependtext, or section=new be used
  2463. when using the 'redirect' parameter, to prevent clients accidentally
  2464. overwriting the target page with the content of the redirect.
  2465. * list=logevents will now return an error if both letitle and leprefix are
  2466. specified.
  2467. * list=logevents has a new parameter, lenamespace, to allow filtering by
  2468. namespace.
  2469. * action=expandtemplates has a new parameter, prop, and a new output format.
  2470. The old format is still used if prop isn't provided, but this is deprecated.
  2471. * meta=userinfo can now return the count of unread pages on the watchlist.
  2472. * list=watchlist can now filter by unread status.
  2473. * The deprecated action=parse&prop=languageshtml has been removed.
  2474. * (bug 48071) action=setnotificationtimestamp no longer throws PHP or database
  2475. errors when no pages are given.
  2476. * (bug 60734) Actions that use ApiPageSet (e.g. purge, watch,
  2477. setnotificationtimestamp) will now include continuation information when
  2478. using a generator.
  2479. * Removed 'props' and 'errors' from action=paraminfo, as they have extremely
  2480. limited use and are generally inaccurate, unmaintained, and impossible to
  2481. properly maintain.
  2482. * Formats dbg, dump, txt, wddx, and yaml are now deprecated.
  2483. * action=paraminfo now indicates when a parameter is specifying a submodule.
  2484. * The iwurl parameter to prop=iwlinks is deprecated in favor of iwprop=url, for
  2485. parallelism with prop=langlinks.
  2486. * All tokens should be fetched from action=query&meta=tokens; all other methods
  2487. of fetching tokens are deprecated. The value needed for meta=tokens's 'type'
  2488. parameter for each module is documented in the action=help output and is
  2489. returned from action=paraminfo.
  2490. * New action ClearHasMsg that can be used to clear HasMsg flag.
  2491. * The cmstartsortkey and cmendsortkey parameters to list=categorymembers are
  2492. deprecated in favor of cmstarthexsortkey and cmendhexsortkey.
  2493. * (bug 63326) Add blockedtimestamp field to output of blockinfo property for
  2494. the list=allusers and list=users modules.
  2495. * prop=imageinfo no longer requires iiurlwidth to be set when using iiurlparam.
  2496. * Added prop=linkshere, prop=fileusage, and prop=transcludedin, which are
  2497. roughly equivalent to list=backlinks, list=imageusage, and list=embeddedin
  2498. but can work on a list of titles (including titles from a generator).
  2499. * prop=redirects can now filter returned redirects by namespace.
  2500. === Action API internal changes in 1.24 ===
  2501. * Methods for handling continuation are added to ApiResult, so actions other
  2502. than query that use generators can easily support continuation.
  2503. * $wgAPIModules (and the related $wgAPIFormatModules, $wgAPIMetaModules,
  2504. $wgAPIPropModules, and $wgAPIListModules settings) now allow API modules
  2505. to be specified using a "module spec" array instead of a plain class name.
  2506. A "module spec" is an associative array containing at least the 'class' key
  2507. for the module's class, and optionally a 'factory' key for the factory function
  2508. to use for the module. This is intended for extensions that want control over
  2509. the instantiation of their API modules, to allow for proper dependency
  2510. injection.
  2511. * A new param type 'submodule' is available. Parameters of this type will take
  2512. the list of valid values from the module's ApiModuleManager for the group
  2513. corresponding to the parameter name.
  2514. * The 'APIGetPossibleErrors' and 'APIGetResultProperties' hooks are no longer used.
  2515. * API token handling has been rewritten. Any API module using tokens will need
  2516. to be updated:
  2517. * ApiBase::needsToken now returns a token type instead of boolean true when a
  2518. token is needed. Returning true will throw an exception. See documentation
  2519. of that method for details.
  2520. * Information for the 'token' parameter is automatically set by ApiBase
  2521. getFinalParams and getFinalParamDescription.
  2522. * ApiBase::getTokenSalt has been removed.
  2523. * The hooks APIQueryInfoTokens, APIQueryRevisionsTokens,
  2524. APIQueryRecentChangesTokens, APIQueryUsersTokens, and
  2525. ApiTokensGetTokenTypes are deprecated, but are still called to support
  2526. backwards-compatible token access.
  2527. * ApiBase::validateLimit and ApiBase::validateTimestamp are now protected.
  2528. * ApiQueryRedirects was removed; prop=redirects is now implemented by
  2529. ApiQueryBacklinksProp along with the newly-added prop modules.
  2530. * The following methods have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
  2531. release:
  2532. * ApiBase::getResultProperties
  2533. * ApiBase::getFinalResultProperties
  2534. * ApiBase::addTokenProperties
  2535. * ApiBase::getRequireOnlyOneParameterErrorMessages

  2543. * ApiQueryBase::checkRowCount
  2544. * ApiQueryBase::titleToKey
  2545. * ApiQueryBase::keyToTitle
  2546. * ApiQueryBase::keyPartToTitle
  2547. * ApiQueryInfo::getTokenFunctions
  2548. * ApiQueryInfo::resetTokenCache
  2549. * ApiQueryInfo::getEditToken
  2550. * ApiQueryInfo::getDeleteToken
  2551. * ApiQueryInfo::getProtectToken
  2552. * ApiQueryInfo::getMoveToken
  2553. * ApiQueryInfo::getBlockToken
  2554. * ApiQueryInfo::getUnblockToken
  2555. * ApiQueryInfo::getEmailToken
  2556. * ApiQueryInfo::getImportToken
  2557. * ApiQueryInfo::getWatchToken
  2558. * ApiQueryInfo::getOptionsToken
  2559. * ApiQueryRecentChanges::getTokenFunctions
  2560. * ApiQueryRecentChanges::getPatrolToken
  2561. * ApiQueryRevisions::getTokenFunctions
  2562. * ApiQueryRevisions::getRollbackToken
  2563. * ApiQueryUsers::getTokenFunctions
  2564. * ApiQueryUsers::getUserrightsToken
  2565. * The following classes have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
  2566. release:
  2567. * ApiFormatDbg
  2568. * ApiFormatDump
  2569. * ApiFormatTxt
  2570. * ApiFormatWddx
  2571. * ApiFormatYaml
  2572. * ApiTokens
  2573. * The following class constants have been deprecated and may be removed in a
  2574. future release:
  2575. * ApiBase::PROP_ROOT
  2576. * ApiBase::PROP_LIST
  2577. * ApiBase::PROP_TYPE
  2578. * ApiBase::PROP_NULLABLE
  2579. === Languages updated in 1.24 ===
  2580. MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
  2581. regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
  2582. changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
  2583. === Other changes in 1.24 ===
  2584. * The deprecated jquery.delayedBind ResourceLoader module was removed.
  2585. * The deprecated function mw.util.toggleToc was removed.
  2586. * The Special:Search hooks SpecialSearchGo and SpecialSearchResultsAppend
  2587. were removed as they were unused.
  2588. * (bug 65477) User::pingLimiter() now has an additional profile point varying
  2589. by action being used.
  2590. * mediawiki.util.$content no longer supports old versions of the Vector,
  2591. Monobook, Modern and CologneBlue skins that don't yet implement the "mw-body"
  2592. and/or "mw-body-primary" class name in their html.
  2593. * Added pp_sortkey column to page_props table, so pages can be efficiently
  2594. queried and sorted by property value (bug 58032).
  2595. See $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey if you want to postpone the schema change.
  2596. * BREAKING CHANGE: All four built-in MediaWiki skins (Vector, MonoBook, Modern
  2597. and Cologne Blue) were moved out of MediaWiki core to their own respective
  2598. repositories. They will be installed with the release tarball, but you must
  2599. install them separately if installing MediaWiki from source code. A warning
  2600. message displayed until you do it should guide you through the process. See
  2601. also <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_configuration>.
  2602. * BREAKING CHANGE: Skins built for MediaWiki 1.15 and earlier that do not use
  2603. the "headelement" template key are no longer supported. Setting
  2604. $useHeadElement = false; is no longer supported and will not cause old keys
  2605. like "headlinks", "skinnameclass", etc. to be defined.
  2606. * BREAKING CHANGE: The files commonElements.css, commonContent.css and
  2607. commonInterface.css (in skins/common/) have been removed. Skins may no longer
  2608. rely on their presence and include them in their style modules. ResourceLoader
  2609. modules introduced in MediaWiki 1.23 should be loaded instead:
  2610. - skins/common/commonElements.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.elements' module
  2611. - skins/common/commonContent.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.content' module
  2612. - skins/common/commonInterface.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.interface' module
  2613. * The deprecated 'SpecialVersionExtensionTypes' hook was removed.
  2614. * (bug 63891) Add 'X-Robots-Tag: noindex' header in action=render pages.
  2615. * SpecialPage no longer supports the syntax for invoking wfSpecial*() functions.
  2616. Special pages should subclass SpecialPage and implement the execute() method.
  2617. * (bug 63755) The deprecated constants RC_MOVE and RC_MOVE_OVER_REDIRECT were
  2618. removed.
  2619. * Special:MostLinkedTemplates has been renamed to Special:MostTranscludedPages.
  2620. * The skin autodiscovery mechanism has been deprecated and will be removed in
  2621. MediaWiki 1.25. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery
  2622. for migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.
  2623. * ResourceLoaderFileModule#getAllStyleFiles now returns all style files and all

  2629. have since become subclasses of the Action class. (deprecated since 1.19)
  2630. * SearchEngineReplacePrefixesComplete hook was removed.
  2631. * The "jquery.json" module has been deprecated. Use the "json" module instead.

  2681. meaning that JavaScript is no longer executed in these browser versions.
  2682. * Browser support for Opera 11 lowered from Grade A to Grade C.
  2683. * Removed IEFixes module which existed purely to provide support for MSIE versions
  2684. below 7 (conditionally loaded only for those browsers).

  2686. SpecialPageFactory::getNames()
  2687. * Action::checkCanExecute() no longer has a return value.

  2697. * SpecialSearchNoResults hook has been removed. SpecialSearchResults is now

  2699. * TablePager::getBody() is now 'final' and can't be overridden in subclasses.

  2701. * Added $outputPage parameter to the SkinTemplateGetLanguageLink hook.
  2702. * log_page for move log entries store the original page ID, rather than that
  2703. of the new redirect page. This is not retroactive.

  2705. use this store class.
  2706. * Html::infoBox() no longer accepts paths relative to skins/common/images/.
  2707. * Deprecated defunct Skin::getCommonStylePath().
  2708. * Some extensions had their ResourceLoader modules depend on the "mediawiki"
  2709. and "jquery" modules. In the past, this behavior was undefined, now it will
  2710. throw an error.
  2711. * Removed BagOStuff::replace(). (deprecated since 1.23)
  2712. * In Linker.php, link(), linkText() and makeBrokenImageLinkObj() now display

  2714. now requires a Parser as its first parameter.
  2715. * (bug 67368) LESS functions embed() and embeddable(), added in MediaWiki 1.23

  2718. * Removed maintenance/purgeOldText.inc and the PurgeRedundantText() function
  2719. it contained (superseded by Maintenance::purgeRedundantText() in 1.16).
  2720. The purgeOldText.php maintenance script has been retained.
  2721. * PHPUnit tests can be found by directory discovery, by adding the directory
  2722. path from your UnitTestsList callback. Older versions of MediaWiki core will
  2723. barf at this usage.

  2997. == MediaWiki 1.23.8 ==
  2998. This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch.
  2999. === Changes since 1.23.7 ===
  3000. * (bug T76686) [SECURITY] thumb.php outputs wikitext message as raw HTML, which

  3002. exploit this.
  3003. * (bug T77028) [SECURITY] Malicious site can bypass CORS restrictions in
  3004. $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains in API calls if it only included an allowed domain as
  3005. part of its name.
  3006. * (bug T74222) The original patch for T74222 was reverted as unnecessary.
  3007. == MediaWiki 1.23.7 ==
  3008. This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch.
  3009. === Changes since 1.23.6 ===
  3010. * (bugs 66776, 71478) SECURITY: User PleaseStand reported a way to inject code
  3011. into API clients that used format=php to process pages that underwent flash
  3012. policy mangling. This was fixed along with improving how the mangling was done
  3013. for format=json, and allowing sites to disable the mangling using
  3014. $wgMangleFlashPolicy.
  3015. * (bug 70901) SECURITY: User Jackmcbarn reported that the ability to update
  3016. the content model for a page could allow an unprivileged attacker to edit
  3017. another user's common.js under certain circumstances. The user right
  3018. "editcontentmodel" was added, and is needed to change a revision's content
  3019. model.
  3020. * (bug 71111) SECURITY: User PleaseStand reported that on wikis that allow raw
  3021. HTML, it is not safe to preview wikitext coming from an untrusted source such
  3022. as a cross-site request. Thus add an edit token to the form, and when raw HTML
  3023. is allowed, ensure the token is provided before showing the preview. This
  3024. check is not performed on wikis that both allow raw HTML and anonymous
  3025. editing, since there are easier ways to exploit that scenario.
  3026. * (bug 72222) SECURITY: Do not show log action when the entry is revdeleted with
  3027. DELETED_ACTION. NOTICE: this may be reverted in a future release pending a
  3028. public RFC about the desired functionality. This issue was reported by user
  3029. Bawolff.
  3030. * (bug 71621) Make allowing site-wide styles on restricted special pages a
  3031. config option.
  3032. * (bug 42723) Added updated version history from 1.19.2 to 1.22.13
  3033. * $wgMangleFlashPolicy was added to make MediaWiki's mangling of anything that
  3034. might be a flash policy directive configurable.
  3035. == MediaWiki 1.23.6 ==
  3036. This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch.
  3037. === Changes since 1.23.5 ===
  3038. * (Bug 72274) Job queue not running (HTTP 411) due to missing
  3039. Content-Length: header
  3040. * (Bug 67440) Allow classes to be registered properly from installer
  3041. == MediaWiki 1.23.5 ==
  3042. This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch.
  3043. === Changes since 1.23.4 ===
  3044. * (bug 70672) SECURITY: OutputPage: Remove separation of css and js module
  3045. allowance.
  3046. == MediaWiki 1.23.4 ==
  3047. This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch.
  3048. === Changes since 1.23.3 ===
  3049. * (bug 69008) SECURITY: Enhance CSS filtering in SVG files. Filter <style>
  3050. elements; normalize style elements and attributes before filtering; add
  3051. checks for attributes that contain css; add unit tests for html5sec and
  3052. reported bugs.
  3053. * (bug 65998) Make MySQLi work with non-standard socket.
  3054. * (bug 66986) GlobalVarConfig shouldn't throw exceptions for null-valued config
  3055. settings.
  3056. == MediaWiki 1.23.3 ==
  3057. This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch.
  3058. === Changes since 1.23.2 ===
  3059. * (bug 68501) Correctly handle incorrect namespace in cleanupTitles.php.
  3060. * (bug 64970) Fix support for blobs on DatabaseOracle::update.
  3061. * (bug 66574) Display MediaWiki:Loginprompt on the login page.
  3062. * (bug 67870) wfShellExec() cuts off stdout at multiples of 8192 bytes.
  3063. * (bug 60629) Handle invalid language code gracefully in
  3064. Language::fetchLanguageNames.
  3065. * (bug 62017) Restore the number of rows shown on Special:Watchlist.
  3066. * Check for boolean false result from database query in SqlBagOStuff.
  3067. == MediaWiki 1.23.2 ==
  3068. This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch.
  3069. === Changes since 1.23.1 ===
  3070. * (bug 68187) SECURITY: Prepend jsonp callback with comment.
  3071. * (bug 66608) SECURITY: Fix for XSS issue in bug 66608: Generate the URL used
  3072. for loading a new page in Javascript,instead of relying on the URL in the link
  3073. that has been clicked.
  3074. * (bug 65778) SECURITY: Copy prevent-clickjacking between OutputPage and
  3075. ParserOutput.
  3076. * (bug 68313) Preferences: Turn stubthreshold back into a combo box.
  3077. * (bug 65214) Fix initSiteStats.php maintenance script.
  3078. * (bug 67594) Special:ActiveUsers: Fix to work with PostgreSQL.
  3079. == MediaWiki 1.23.1 ==
  3080. This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch.
  3081. === Changes since 1.23.0 ===
  3082. * (bug 65839) SECURITY: Prevent external resources in SVG files.
  3083. * (bug 67025) Special:Watchlist: Don't try to render empty row.
  3084. * (bug 66922) Don't allow some E_NOTICE messages to end up in the LocalSettings.php.
  3085. * (bug 66467) FileBackend: Avoid using popen() when "parallelize" is disabled.
  3086. * (bug 66428) MimeMagic: Don't seek before BOF. This has weird side effects
  3087. like only extracting the tail of the file partially or not at all.
  3088. * (bug 66182) Removed -x flag on some php files.
  3089. == MediaWiki 1.23.0 ==
  3090. === Configuration changes in 1.23 ===
  3091. * (bug 13250) Restored method for clearing a watchlist in web UI
  3092. so that users with large watchlists don't have to perform
  3093. contortions to clear them.
  3094. * When $wgJobRunRate is higher than zero, jobs are now executed via an
  3095. asynchronous HTTP request to a MediaWiki entry point. This may require
  3096. increasing the number of server worker threads. $wgRunJobsAsync has been
  3097. added to disable this feature if needed, falling back to executing the job
  3098. on the same process but making the execution synchronously.
  3099. * $wgDebugLogGroups values may be set to an associative array with a
  3100. 'destination' key specifying the log destination. The array may also contain
  3101. a 'sample' key with a positive integer value N indicating that the log group
  3102. should be sampled by dispatching one in every N messages on average. The
  3103. sampling is random.
  3104. * In addition to the current exception log format, MediaWiki now serializes
  3105. exception metadata to JSON and logs it to the 'exception-json' log group.
  3106. This makes MediaWiki easier to integrate with log aggregation and analysis
  3107. tools.
  3108. * $wgSquidServersNoPurge now supports the use of Classless Inter-Domain
  3109. Routing (CIDR) notation to specify contiguous blocks of IPv4 and/or IPv6
  3110. addresses that should be trusted to provide X-Forwarded-For headers.
  3111. * Preferences 'watchcreations', 'watchdefault', 'enotifwatchlistpages' ("Add
  3112. pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist", "Add pages and files I
  3113. edit to my watchlist", "Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is
  3114. changed") are now enabled by default. In addition new user accounts' personal
  3115. and talk pages are now watched by them by default.
  3116. * $wgLBFactoryConf: Class names have had underscores removed. The configuration
  3117. should be updated if LBFactory_Simple or LBFactory_Multi is configured.
  3118. * $wgPasswordSenderName has been removed and is no longer functional. To set a
  3119. custom mailer name, the system message 'emailsender' should be modified
  3120. (default: "{{SITENAME}}").
  3121. * (bug 63269) Email notifications were not correctly handling the
  3122. [[MediaWiki:Helppage]] message being set to a full URL (the default).
  3123. If you customized [[MediaWiki:Enotif body]] (the text of email notifications),
  3124. you'll need to edit it locally to include the URL via the new variable
  3125. $HELPPAGE instead of the parser functions fullurl and canonicalurl; otherwise
  3126. you don't have to do anything.
  3127. * $wgDBAhandler was removed as the only class using it was also removed
  3128. * The 'max threads' setting was removed from $wgDBservers.
  3129. * Support for AdminSettings.php has been completely removed. All configuration
  3130. belongs in LocalSettings.php.
  3131. * $wgSkipSkin, which has been replaceable by $wgSkipSkins since 2005 (r9249), is
  3132. now formally deprecated.
  3133. * Removed deprecated $wgDisabledActions as it is hardly used anywhere.
  3134. * $wgRateLimitLog has been deprecated and replaced by
  3135. $wgDebugLogGroup['ratelimit'].
  3136. * $wgLocalInterwikis is an array containing multiple local interwiki prefixes
  3137. (interwiki prefixes that point back to the current wiki). This effectively
  3138. allows more than one value of $wgLocalInterwiki to be specified and
  3139. understood by the parser. The value of $wgLocalInterwiki is automatically
  3140. prepended to the start of this array.
  3141. * $wgQueryPages has been removed. Query Pages should be added to by using the
  3142. wgQueryPages hook.
  3143. * $wgHttpOnlyBlacklist has been removed.
  3144. * $wgLicenseTerms has been removed as it was unused.
  3145. * $wgProfileOnly is now deprecated; set the log file in
  3146. $wgDebugLogGroups['profileoutput'] to replace it.
  3147. * $wgMaxBacklinksInvalidate was removed; use $wgJobBackoffThrottling instead
  3148. * Deprecated ResourceLoaderGetStartupModules hook.
  3149. === New features in 1.23 ===
  3150. * ResourceLoader can utilize the Web Storage API to cache modules client-side.
  3151. Compared to the browser cache, caching in Web Storage allows ResourceLoader
  3152. to be more granular about evicting stale modules from the cache while
  3153. retaining the ability to retrieve multiple modules in a single HTTP request.
  3154. This capability can be enabled by setting $wgResourceLoaderStorageEnabled to
  3155. true. This feature is currently considered experimental and should only be
  3156. enabled with care.
  3157. * (bug 6092) Add expensive parser functions {{REVISIONID:}}, {{REVISIONUSER:}}
  3158. and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP:}} (with friends).
  3159. * Add "wgRelevantUserName" to mw.config containing the current
  3160. Skin::getRelevantUser value.
  3161. * (bug 56033) Add content model to the page information.
  3162. * Added Article::MissingArticleConditions hook to give extensions a chance to
  3163. hide their (unrelated) log entries.
  3164. * Added LonelyPagesQuery hook to let extensions modify the query used to
  3165. generate Special:LonelyPages.
  3166. * Added $wgOpenSearchDefaultLimit defining the default number of entries to show
  3167. on action=opensearch API call.
  3168. * For namespaces with $wgNamespaceProtection (including the MediaWiki
  3169. namespace), the "protect" tab will be shown only if there are restriction
  3170. levels available that would restrict editing beyond what
  3171. $wgNamespaceProtection already applies. The protection form will offer only
  3172. those protection levels.
  3173. * Added $wgAPIFormatModules, allowing extensions to add additional output
  3174. formatting modules for the API.
  3175. * (bug 47812) The MediaWiki:Group-user.{css,js} pages can now be used to add
  3176. custom CSS or JavaScript enabled only for registered users.
  3177. * (bug 52005) Special pages RecentChanges, RecentChangesLinked and Watchlist
  3178. now include a legend describing the symbols used in lists of changes.
  3179. * Improved the accessibility of the tabs in Special:Preferences.
  3180. * Added ApiBeforeMain hook, roughly equivalent to the BeforeInitialize hook:
  3181. it's called after everything is set up but before any major processing
  3182. happens.
  3183. * The jquery.client module now performs a component-wise version comparison in
  3184. its #test method when strings are used in the browser map: version '1.10' is
  3185. now correctly considered larger than '1.2'. Using numbers in the version map
  3186. is not affected.
  3187. * All API modules now support an assert parameter, which can either be
  3188. 'user' or 'bot'. The API will throw an error if the user is not logged
  3189. in (user) or does not have the 'bot' userright (bot). Based off of the
  3190. AssertEdit extension by Steve Sanbeg.
  3191. * [[Special:Diff]] was added, allowing users to create internal links to
  3192. revision comparison pages using syntax such as [[Special:Diff/12345]],
  3193. [[Special:Diff/12345/prev]] or [[Special:Diff/12345/98765]].
  3194. * New user accounts' personal and talk pages are now watched by them by default.
  3195. * Added SkinTemplateGetLanguageLink hook to allow changing the html of language
  3196. links.
  3197. * Added MessageCache::get hook as a new way to customize messages across
  3198. multiple sites.
  3199. * Added jquery.throttle-debounce ResourceLoader module to limit the number of
  3200. callbacks for frequently occurring events.
  3201. * Special:ProtectedPages shows now a table. The timestamp, the reason and
  3202. the protecting user are also shown.
  3203. * Added experimental support for using Microsoft SQL Server as the database
  3204. backend.
  3205. ** Added new Microsoft SQL Server-specific configuration variable
  3206. $wgDBWindowsAuthentication, which makes the web server authenticate against
  3207. the database server using Integrated Windows Authentication instead of
  3208. $wgDBuser/$wgDBpassword.
  3209. * HTMLForm 'select', 'selectandother', 'selectorother', 'multiselect', and
  3210. 'radio' fields can now use message keys as labels via the 'options-messages'
  3211. parameter, which overrides the 'options' parameter.
  3212. * Admins can expire users passwords manually, or on a schedule using the
  3213. $wgPasswordExpirationDays configuration setting.
  3214. * Add new hook SendWatchlistEmailNotification, this will be used to determine
  3215. whether to send a watchlist email notification.
  3216. * (bug 42026) Special:Contributions now includes an option to filter page
  3217. creations, similar to the topOnly option.
  3218. * Add mediawiki.ui.button styling to all pages so wiki content can use styled
  3219. buttons.
  3220. * Special:UserLogin/signup now does AJAX checks for invalid and taken usernames,
  3221. displaying the error live.
  3222. * Added BaseTemplateAfterPortlet hook to allow injecting html after portlets in skins.
  3223. * Support has been added for a JSON based localisation file format. The
  3224. installer has been updated to use it.
  3225. * Changes to content typography (colors, line-height etc.). See
  3226. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
  3227. * The Vector skin's visual treatment of external links has been simplified to a
  3228. single icon (from nine). This should not affect local rules unless they were
  3229. re-using these icons, which have now been deleted.
  3230. * ResourceLoader: mw.loader.using() now implements a Promise interface.
  3231. * Add new hook ChangesListInitRows accessed via ChangesList::initChangesListRows.
  3232. If called by the ChangesList consumer this gives extensions a chance to batch
  3233. process the result set prior to rendering.
  3234. * A PoolCounterRedis class was added which can be make use of in $wgPoolCounterConf.
  3235. This requires at least one Redis 2.6+ server.
  3236. * $wgProfileToDatabase was removed. Set $wgProfiler to ProfilerSimpleDB
  3237. in StartProfiler.php instead of using this.
  3238. * (bug 63444) Made it possible to change the indent string (default: 4 spaces)
  3239. used by FormatJson::encode().
  3240. === Bug fixes in 1.23 ===
  3241. * (bug 41759) The "updated since last visit" markers (on history pages, recent
  3242. changes and watchlist) and the talk page message indicator are now correctly
  3243. updated when the user is viewing old revisions of pages, instead of always
  3244. acting as if the latest revision was being viewed.
  3245. * (bug 56443) Special:ConfirmEmail no longer shows a "Mail a confirmation code"
  3246. when the email address is already confirmed. Also, consistently use
  3247. "confirmed", rather than "authenticated", when messaging whether or not the
  3248. user has confirmed an email address.
  3249. * (bug 19415) action=render no longer shows section edit links. This affects
  3250. behavior of several other features where (bogus) section edit links will
  3251. disappear, such as file description pages loaded via $wgUseInstantCommons or
  3252. pages transcluded cross-wiki via $wgEnableScaryTranscluding.
  3253. * (bug 56912) Show correct link color on cached result of Special:DeadendPages.
  3254. * Classes TitleListDependency and TitleDependency have been removed, as they
  3255. have been found unused in core and extensions for a long time.
  3256. * (bug 57098) SpecialPasswordReset now obeys returnto parameter
  3257. * (bug 37812) ResourceLoader will notice when a module's definition changes and
  3258. recompile it accordingly.
  3259. * (bug 57201) SpecialRecentChangesFilters hook is now executed for feeds.
  3260. * (bug 58640) Fixed a compatibility issue with PCRE 8.34 that caused pages
  3261. to appear blank or with missing text.
  3262. * (bug 56931) Updated the plural rules to CLDR 24. They are in new format
  3263. which is detailed in UTS 35 Rev 33. The PHP parser and evaluator as well as
  3264. the JavaScript evaluator were updated to support the new format. Plural rules
  3265. for some languages have changed, most notably Russian. Affected software
  3266. messages have been updated and marked for review at translatewiki.net.
  3267. * (bug 23542) imagelinks now stores both the redirect and target (as
  3268. templatelinks does).
  3269. * (bug 58167) The web installer no longer throws an exception when PHP is
  3270. compiled without support for MySQL yet with support for another DBMS.
  3271. * (bug 56199) Raw option of parser functions must now match complete word,
  3272. to take effect.
  3273. * (bug 60543) Special:PrefixIndex forgot stripprefix=1 for "Next page" link
  3274. * (bug 29762) Undoing an already-undone edit will now display an appropriate
  3275. message instead of leading the user to make a null edit.
  3276. * (bug 52659) mediawiki.notification: Notification area remained visible when
  3277. empty and thus was stealing pointer events from links on the page.
  3278. * (bug 26811) When a DBUnexpectedError occurs, DB server hostnames are now
  3279. hidden unless $wgShowExceptionDetails is true, and $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace
  3280. no longer applies in such cases.
  3281. * (bug 60960) Avoid doing file_exist() checks on data: URIs, as they cause
  3282. warnings to be printed on Windows due to large path length.
  3283. * (bug 48084) Fixed a bug in the installer that could cause $wgLogo to hold
  3284. the wrong path to the placeholder logo (skins/common/images/wiki.png).
  3285. * (bug 64289) jquery.textSelection: Don't throw errors on empty collections.
  3286. === Web API changes in 1.23 ===
  3287. * (bug 54884) action=parse&prop=categories now indicates hidden and missing
  3288. categories.
  3289. * action=query&meta=filerepoinfo now returns additional information for each
  3290. repo.
  3291. * action=parse&prop=languageshtml was deprecated in 1.18 and will be removed in
  3292. MediaWiki 1.24.
  3293. * action=parse now has disabletoc flag to disable table of contents in output.
  3294. * (bug 25702) list=allcategories, list=allimages, list=alllinks, list=allpages,
  3295. list=deletedrevs and list=filearchive did not handle case-sensitivity
  3296. properly for all parameters.
  3297. * ApiQueryBase::titlePartToKey allows an extra parameter that indicates the
  3298. namespace in order to properly capitalize the title part.
  3299. * (bug 57874) action=feedcontributions no longer has one item more than limit.
  3300. * All API modules now support an assert parameter. See the new features section
  3301. for more details.
  3302. * Added prop=contributors to fetch the list of contributors to the page.
  3303. * The following API modules will now return entries where fields have been
  3304. revision-deleted: list=deletedrevs, list=filearchive, list=recentchanges,
  3305. list=watchlist. "hidden" indicators will be included, in the same style as is
  3306. already done for prop=revisions.
  3307. * The following API modules will now return the content of revision-deleted
  3308. fields, in addition to the "hidden" indicators, if the querying user has the
  3309. necessary rights: list=logevents, list=usercontribs, prop=imageinfo,
  3310. prop=revisions.
  3311. * The above modules, where applicable, will now return entries filtered by
  3312. revision-deleted fields if the querying user has the necessary rights. For
  3313. example, prop=revisions with rvuser or rvexcludeuser will no longer skip
  3314. revisions where the user was revision-deleted if the current user has the
  3315. deletedhistory right.
  3316. * The 'hideuser' right, used when blocking, is no longer necessary or
  3317. sufficient for seeing contributions with revision-deleted in
  3318. list=usercontribs.
  3319. * list=watchlist now uses the querying user's rights rather than the wlowner's
  3320. rights when checking whether wlprop=patrol is allowed.
  3321. * (bug 32151) ApiWatch now has pageset capabilities (titles/pageids/generators).
  3322. Title parameter is now deprecated.
  3323. * (bug 23005) Added action=revisiondelete.
  3324. * Added siprop=restrictions to API action=query&meta=siteinfo for querying
  3325. possible page restriction (protection) levels and types.
  3326. * Added prop 'limitreportdata' and 'limitreporthtml' to action=parse.
  3327. * (bug 58627) Provide language names on action=parse&prop=langlinks.
  3328. * Deprecated llurl= in favour of llprop=url for action=query&prop=langlinks.
  3329. * Added llprop=langname and llprop=autonym for action=query&prop=langlinks.
  3330. * prop=redirects is added, to return redirects to the pages in the query.
  3331. * list=allredirects is added, to list all redirects pointing to a namespace.
  3332. * (bug 42026) Added ucshow={new,!new,top,!top} to list=usercontribs.
  3333. Also added newonly to action=feedcontributions.
  3334. * (bug 42026) Deprecated uctoponly in favor of ucshow=top.
  3335. * list=search no longer has a "srredirects" parameter. Redirects are now
  3336. included in all searches.
  3337. * Added list=prefixsearch that works like action=opensearch but can be used as
  3338. a generator.
  3339. * (bug 24782) Various modules will now use unique continuation parameters.
  3340. * (bug 63249) Cache RecentChanges Atom feed in varnish for 15 seconds.
  3341. === Languages updated in 1.23 ===
  3342. MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
  3343. regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
  3344. changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
  3345. * Support was added for Algerian Spoken Arabic (arq).
  3346. * Support was added for Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (hrx).
  3347. * Support was added for Northern Luri (lrc).
  3348. === Other changes in 1.23 ===
  3349. * The rc_type field in the recentchanges table has been superseded by a new
  3350. rc_source field. The rc_source field is a string representation of the
  3351. change type where rc_type was a numeric constant. This field is not yet
  3352. queried but will be in a future release.
  3353. ** Utilize update.php to create and populate this new field. On larger wikis
  3354. which do not wish to update recentchanges table in one large update please
  3355. review the SQL and comments in maintenance/archives/patch-rc_source.sql.
  3356. ** The rc_type field of recentchanges will be deprecated in a future release.
  3357. * The global variable $wgArticle has been removed after a lengthy deprecation.
  3358. * The global functions addButton and insertTags (for mw.toolbar.addButton and
  3359. mw.toolbar.insertTags) now emits mw.log.warn when accessed.

  3361. * (bug 52812) Removed "Disable search suggestions" from Preference.
  3362. * (bug 52809) Removed "Disable browser page caching" from Preference.
  3363. * Three new modules intended for use by custom skins were added:
  3364. 'mediawiki.skinning.elements', 'mediawiki.skinning.content', and
  3365. 'mediawiki.skinning.interface', representing three levels of standard
  3366. MediaWiki styling. Previously skin creators wishing to use them had to refer
  3367. to the file names of appropriate files directly, which is now discouraged.
  3368. * The modules 'skins.vector' and 'skins.monobook' have been renamed to
  3369. 'skins.vector.styles' and 'skins.monobook.styles', respectively,
  3370. and their definition was changed not to include the common*.css files;
  3371. the two skins now load the 'mediawiki.skinning.interface' module instead.
  3372. * A page_links_updated field has been added to the page table.
  3373. * SpecialPage::getTitle has been deprecated in favor of
  3374. SpecialPage::getPageTitle.
  3375. * BREAKING CHANGE: Two potentially backwards-incompatible changes have been made
  3376. to the 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' hook's last parameter (array $values) to make
  3377. the hook more consistent with the 'SpecialRecentChangesQuery' one:
  3378. ** Several array keys have been renamed: hideMinor → hideminor,
  3379. hideBots → hidebots, hideAnons → hideanons, hideLiu → hideliu,
  3380. hidePatrolled → hidepatrolled, hideOwn → hidemyself.
  3381. ** The parameter value is now a FormOptions object, not a plain array (array
  3382. access operators should continue to work, as it implements the ArrayAccess
  3383. interface).
  3384. * Option to mark hooks as deprecated has been added.
  3385. * (bug 52811) Preference "Enable section editing via [edit] links" was removed.
  3386. * (bug 52813) Preference "Show table of contents (for pages with more than
  3387. 3 headings)" was removed.
  3388. * (bug 52810) Preference "Justify paragraphs" was removed.
  3389. * OutputPage::showErrorPage raises a notice if arguments are incoherent.
  3390. * Thumbnails that keep failing to render in thumb.php will be rate-limited
  3391. against further render attempts for 1 hour. $wgAttemptFailureEpoch can be
  3392. altered to reset all rate-limited thumbnails at once.
  3393. * (bug 56572) Builds of the OOjs and OOjs UI libraries are now available.
  3394. * mw.loader.go and mw.loader.version have been removed.
  3395. * (bug 52815) Preference "Enable simplified search bar (Vector skin only)"
  3396. was removed.
  3397. * A user_password_expires column has been added to the user table. The User
  3398. object expects this column to exist. Use update.php to create this new field.
  3399. * The jquery.delayedBind ResourceLoader module was deprecated in favor of the
  3400. jquery.throttle-debounce module. It will be removed in MediaWiki 1.24.
  3401. * mw.user.bucket has been deprecated.
  3402. * On Special:PrefixIndex, a table#mw-prefixindex-list-table was changed to
  3403. table.mw-prefixindex-list-table to avoid duplicate ids when the special page
  3404. is transcluded.
  3405. * (bug 62198) window.$j has been deprecated.
  3406. * Preference "Disable link title conversion" was removed.
  3407. * SpecialRecentChanges no longer includes any functionality for generating feeds
  3408. - it has been factored out to ApiFeedRecentChanges. Old URLs redirect to new
  3409. ones.
  3410. * RecentChange::mExtra['lang'] is no longer set and should no longer be used.
  3411. Extensions should read from other configuration variables, including
  3412. $wgLocalInterwikis, to identify the current wiki.
  3413. * Sections in the parser test framework have been renamed and the old
  3414. section names are deprecated. Please use "!!wikitext" and "!!html"
  3415. (or "!!html/php") instead of "!!input" and "!!result". This allows
  3416. us to extend parser tests to accommodate additional input/output
  3417. pairs, such as "!!html/parsoid" (for the output of the Parsoid
  3418. parser, where it differs from the PHP parser).
  3419. * Special:Search no longer has an "include redirects" option on the advanced
  3420. tab. Redirects are now included in all searches.
  3421. * mediawiki.api.category's getCategories() 'async' parameter was deprecated.
  3422. * The locations of resources have been split between upstream libraries, now in
  3423. resources/lib/, local libaries in resources/src/, and local forks of upstream
  3424. libraries, also in resources/src/.
  3425. * BREAKING CHANGE: The automatically-generated function closure with which
  3426. ResourceLoader wraps all modules' JavaScript code now binds the identifier
  3427. names 'jQuery' and '$' to the jQuery object of the version of jQuery that is
  3428. bundled with MediaWiki. If you bind these names to other objects in global
  3429. scope (like Zepto.js or document.querySelectorAll, for example) you will need
  3430. to use different names to or re-bind them at the top of each
  3431. ResourceLoader-loaded module.
  3432. * (bug 52342) Preference "Remember my login" was removed.
  3433. * The skin autodiscovery mechanism has been deprecated and will be removed in
  3434. MediaWiki 1.25. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery
  3435. for migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.

  3549. * (bug T76686) [SECURITY] thumb.php outputs wikitext message as raw HTML, which
  3550. could lead to xss. Permission to edit MediaWiki namespace is required to
  3551. exploit this.
  3552. * (bug T77028) [SECURITY] Malicious site can bypass CORS restrictions in
  3553. $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains in API calls if it only included an allowed domain as
  3554. part of its name.

  3559. * (bugs 66776, 71478) SECURITY: User PleaseStand reported a way to inject code
  3560. into API clients that used format=php to process pages that underwent flash
  3561. policy mangling. This was fixed along with improving how the mangling was done
  3562. for format=json, and allowing sites to disable the mangling using
  3563. $wgMangleFlashPolicy.
  3564. * (bug 70901) SECURITY: User Jackmcbarn reported that the ability to update
  3565. the content model for a page could allow an unprivileged attacker to edit
  3566. another user's common.js under certain circumstances. The user right
  3567. "editcontentmodel" was added, and is needed to change a revision's content
  3568. model.
  3569. * (bug 72222) SECURITY: Do not show log action when the entry is revdeleted with
  3570. DELETED_ACTION. NOTICE: this may be reverted in a future release pending a
  3571. public RFC about the desired functionality. This issue was reported by user
  3572. Bawolff.
  3573. * (bug 71621) Make allowing site-wide styles on restricted special pages a
  3574. config option.
  3575. * $wgMangleFlashPolicy was added to make MediaWiki's mangling of anything that
  3576. might be a flash policy directive configurable.

  3593. * (bug 60719) In MediaWiki 1.22, the job queue execution on each page request was changed (Gerrit change 59797) so, instead of executing the job inside the same PHP process that's rendering the page, a new PHP cli command is spawned to execute runJobs.php in the background. It will only work if $wgPhpCli is set to an actual path or safe mode is off, otherwise, the old method will be used. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue#Changes_introduced_in_MediaWiki_1.22 for more infomation. This change was in earlier releases of 1.22 but was not noted here until now.

  3610. * (bug 36356) Add space between two feed links.
  3611. * (bug 63269) Email notifications were not correctly handling the MediaWiki:Helppage message being set to a full URL. This is a regression from the 1.22.5 point release, which made the default value for it a URL. If you customized MediaWiki:Enotif body (the text of email notifications), you'll need to edit it locally to include the URL via the new variable $HELPPAGE instead of the parser functions fullurl and canonicalurl; otherwise you don't have to do anything.
  3612. Add missing uploadstash.us_props for PostgreSQL.
  3613. * (bug 56047) Fixed stream wrapper in PhpHttpRequest.

  3625. * (bug 58153) Make MySQLi work with non standard port.
  3626. * (bug 53887) Reintroduced a link to help pages in the default sidebar, that any sysop can customize by editing MediaWiki:Sidebar locally. The link now points to a mediawiki.org page which is guaranteed to exist. Nothing needs to be done on your end, but remember to adjust MediaWiki:Sidebar for the needs of your wikis. Everyone can help with the shared documentation by translating: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Translate/agg-Help_pages .
  3627. * (bug 53888) Corrected a regression in 1.22 which introduced red links on the login page. If you previously installed 1.22.x and have created a local page to make the red link blue, write its title as in MediaWiki:helplogin-url if you didn't already. Otherwise, you don't need to do anything, but you can translate the help page at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Logging_in .

  3636. * (bug 61346) SECURITY: Make token comparison use constant time. It seems like our token comparison would be vulnerable to timing attacks. This will take constant time.
  3637. * (bug 61362) SECURITY: API: Don't find links in the middle of api.php links.
  3638. * (bug 53710) Add sequence support for upsert in DatabaseOracle in the same way as in selectInsert
  3639. * (bug 60231, bug 58719) Various fixes to job running code in Wiki.php: Make it async on Windows. Fixed possible "invalid filename" errors on Windows. Redirect output to dev/null to avoid hanging PHP.
  3640. * (bug 60083) Correct sequence name for fresh Postgres installation. Spotted by gebhkla

  3667. === Configuration changes in 1.22 ===
  3668. * $wgRedirectScript was removed. It was unused.
  3669. * Removed $wgLocalMessageCacheSerialized, it is now always true.
  3670. * $wgVectorUseIconWatch is now enabled by default.
  3671. * $wgCascadingRestrictionLevels was added.
  3672. * ftps, ssh, sftp, xmpp, sip, sips, tel, sms, bitcoin, magnet, urn, and geo
  3673. have been whitelisted inside of $wgUrlProtocols.
  3674. * $wgDocType and $wgDTD have been removed and are no longer used for the DOCTYPE.
  3675. * $wgHtml5 is no longer used by core. Setting it to false will no longer disable HTML5.
  3676. It is still set to true for extension compatibility but doing so in extensions is deprecated.
  3677. * $wgXhtmlDefaultNamespace is no longer used by core. Setting it will no longer change the
  3678. xmlns used by MediaWiki. Reliance on this variable by extensions is deprecated.
  3679. * $wgHandheldStyle was removed.
  3680. * $wgHandheldForIPhone was removed.
  3681. * $wgJsMimeType is no longer used by core. Most usage has been removed since
  3682. HTML output is now exclusively HTML5.
  3683. * $wgDBOracleDRCP added. True enables persistent connection with DRCP on Oracle.
  3684. * $wgLogAutopatrol added to allow disabling logging of autopatrol edits in the logging table.
  3685. Default for $wgLogAutopatrol is true.
  3686. * The 'edit' right no longer allows for editing a user's own CSS and JS.
  3687. * New rights 'editmyusercss', 'editmyuserjs', 'viewmywatchlist',
  3688. 'editmywatchlist', 'viewmyprivateinfo', 'editmyprivateinfo', and
  3689. 'editmyoptions' restrict actions that were formerly allowed by default. They
  3690. have been added to the default for $wgGroupPermissions['*'].
  3691. * The 'editprotected' right no longer allows bypassing of all page protection
  3692. restrictions. Any group using it for this purpose will now need to have all
  3693. the individual rights listed in $wgRestrictionTypes for the same effect.
  3694. * The 'protect' and 'autoconfirmed' rights are no longer used for the default
  3695. page protection levels. The rights 'editprotected' and 'editsemiprotected'
  3696. are now used for this purpose instead.
  3697. * (bug 40866) wgOldChangeTagsIndex removed.
  3698. * $wgNoFollowDomainExceptions now only matches entire domains. For example,
  3699. an entry for 'bar.com' will still match 'foo.bar.com' but not 'foobar.com'.
  3700. * $wgCopyUploadTimeout and $wgCopyUploadAsyncTimeout added to change the timeout times for
  3701. fetching the file during upload by url.
  3702. * New key added to $wgGalleryOptions - $wgGalleryOptions['mode'] to set
  3703. default gallery mode.
  3704. * New hook 'GalleryGetModes' to allow extensions to make new gallery modes.
  3705. * The checkbox for staying in HTTPS displayed on the login form when $wgSecureLogin is
  3706. enabled has been removed. Instead, whether the user stays in HTTPS will be determined
  3707. based on the user's preferences, and whether they came from HTTPS or not.
  3708. * $wgRC2UDPAddress, $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix, $wgRC2UDPOmitBots, $wgRC2UDPPort,
  3709. and $wgRC2UDPPrefix configuration options have been deprecated in favor of a
  3710. $wgRCFeeds configuration array. $wgRCFeeds makes both the format and
  3711. destination of recent change notifications customizable, and allows for
  3712. multiple destinations to be specified.
  3713. * (bug 53862) portal-url, currentevents-url and helppage have been removed from the
  3714. default Sidebar.
  3715. * The 'vector-simplesearch' preference is now enabled by default. Previously
  3716. it was only enabled if the Vector extension was installed.
  3717. * The precise format of metric datagrams produced by the UDP profiler and stats counter
  3718. may now be specified as $wgUDPProfilerFormatString and $wgStatsFormatString,
  3719. respectively.
  3720. * (bug 54597) $wgBlockOpenProxies, $wgProxyPorts, $wgProxyScriptPath, and
  3721. $wgProxyMemcExpiry have been removed, along with the open proxy scanner
  3722. script they were added for.
  3723. * Default value of $wgMaxShellMemory has been tripled (it's now 300 MB).
  3724. === New features in 1.22 ===
  3725. * You can now install extensions using Composer.
  3726. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Composer
  3727. * (bug 44525) mediawiki.jqueryMsg can now parse (whitelisted) HTML elements and attributes.
  3728. * (bug 33454) Language::sprintfDate now has a timezone parameter, and supports
  3729. the "eIOPTZ" formatting characters.
  3730. * EditWarning: A warning is shown when an editor leaves the edit form without
  3731. saving (enabled by default, users can opt-out via the 'useeditwarning'
  3732. preference). This feature was moved from the Vector extension, and is now part
  3733. of core for all skins. Take care when upgrading that you don't use an older
  3734. version of the Vector extension as this feature may conflict.
  3735. * New 'mediawiki.ui' CSS module providing mw-ui-* styles for buttons and a
  3736. compact vertical form layout.
  3737. * HTMLForm supports a new display format 'vform' which applies this compact vertical
  3738. layout and button styling. Special:PasswordReset uses this format.
  3739. * New versions of login (Special:UserLogin) and create account
  3740. (Special:UserLogin/signup) forms using the "vform" compact vertical form layout.
  3741. These forms use new messages that assume a "Help logging in" link, see
  3742. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_customizations;
  3743. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Account_creation_user_experience/Strings lists the
  3744. message key changes.
  3745. * (bug 23343) Implemented ability to apply IP blocks to the contents of X-Forwarded-For headers
  3746. by adding a new configuration variable $wgApplyIpBlocksToXff (disabled by default).
  3747. * The new hook 'APIGetPossibleErrors' to modify the list of possible errors was
  3748. added.
  3749. * (bug 25592) LogEventsList::showLogExtract() will now ignore various
  3750. Pager-related WebRequest parameters by default, as this is overwhelmingly
  3751. likely to be what was intended by users of the method. If any caller wishes
  3752. to use these parameters, the new param 'useRequestParams' may be set to true.
  3753. * mw.util.addPortletLink: Tooltip is no longer required to be plain (without
  3754. an accesskey in it already). As such it now rountrips. Creating a link with a
  3755. message as tooltip, grabbing the title attribute and using it to create
  3756. another portlet will work as expected.
  3757. * (bug 6747) {{ROOTPAGENAME}} introduced, contains the name of the topmost
  3758. page without namespace.
  3759. * BREAKING CHANGE: (bug 41729) Display editsection links next to headings. Also
  3760. change their class name from .editsection to .mw-editsection and place them at
  3761. the end of the heading element instead of the beginning. Client-side code and
  3762. screen-scrapers will have to be adjusted to handle both cases (old HTML will
  3763. still be visible on cached page renders until they are purged); extensions
  3764. using the DoEditSectionLink or EditSectionLink hooks might need adjustments as
  3765. well.
  3766. * (bug 45535) introduced the new 'LanguageLinks' hook for manipulating the
  3767. language links associated with a page before display.
  3768. * Chosen (http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/) was added as module 'jquery.chosen'
  3769. * HTMLForm will turn multiselect checkboxes into a Chosen interface when setting cssclass 'mw-chosen'
  3770. * rebuildLocalisationCache learned --lang option. Let you rebuild l10n caches
  3771. of the specified languages instead of all of them.
  3772. * New GetNewMessagesAlert hook allowing extensions to disable or modify the new
  3773. messages alert
  3774. * New wgUserNewMsgRevisionId JS global for logged in users. This will be null
  3775. if the user has no new talk page messages. Otherwise it will be set to the
  3776. revision ID of the oldest new talk page message. This will allow gadgets and
  3777. extensions to create their own new message alerts on the client side.
  3778. * mediawiki.log: Added log.warn wrapper (uses console.warn and console.trace).
  3779. * mediawiki.log: Implemented log.deprecate. This method defines a property and
  3780. uses ES5 getter/setter to emit a warning when they are used.
  3781. * $wgCascadingRestrictionLevels was added, allowing one to specify restriction levels
  3782. which can be cascading (previously 'sysop' was hard-coded as the only one).
  3783. * XHTML5 support has been improved. If you set $wgMimeType = 'application/xhtml+xml'
  3784. MediaWiki will try outputting markup according to XHTML5 rules.
  3785. * Altered hook 'ProtectionForm::save', adding the reason page protection is
  3786. changed as third parameter.
  3787. * New hook 'TitleSquidURLs' for manipulating the list of URLs to be purged from
  3788. HTTP caches when a page is changed.
  3789. * Changed the patrolling system to always show the link for patrolling in case the
  3790. current revision is patrollable. This also removed the usage of the rcid URI parameters.
  3791. * Oracle DB backend now supports Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP).
  3792. Can be enabled by setting $wgDBOracleDRCP=true.
  3793. Requires Oracle DB 11gR1 or above, enabled DRCP inside the DB itself and a
  3794. propper connect string.
  3795. More about DRCP can be found at:
  3796. http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/database-resident-connection-pool-11gr1.php
  3797. * Add a new parameter $patrolFooterShown to hook ArticleViewFooter so the hook
  3798. handlers can take further action based on the status of the patrol footer
  3799. * A new hook TitleQuickPermissions was added to allow overriding of quick
  3800. permissions in the Title class.
  3801. * LinkCache singleton can now be altered or cleared, letting one to specify
  3802. another instance that does not rely on a database backend.
  3803. * MediaWiki's PHPUnit tests can now use PHPUnit installed using composer --dev.
  3804. * (bug 43689) The lists of templates used on the page and hidden categories it
  3805. is a member of, shown below the edit form, are now collapsible (and collapsed
  3806. by default).
  3807. * Parser profiling data, formerly only available in the "NewPP limit report"
  3808. HTML comment, is now also displayed at the bottom of page previews.
  3809. * Added ParserLimitReportPrepare and ParserLimitReportFormat hooks, deprecated
  3810. ParserLimitReport hook.
  3811. * New user rights have been added to increase granularity in rights management
  3812. for extensions such as OAuth:
  3813. ** editmyusercss controls whether a user may edit their own CSS subpages.
  3814. ** editmyuserjs controls whether a user may edit their own JS subpages.
  3815. ** viewmywatchlist controls whether a user may view their watchlist.
  3816. ** editmywatchlist controls whether a user may edit their watchlist.
  3817. ** viewmyprivateinfo controls whether a user may access their private
  3818. information (e.g. registered email address, real name).
  3819. ** editmyprivateinfo controls whether a user may change their private
  3820. information.
  3821. ** editmyoptions controls whether a user may change their preferences.
  3822. * Add new hook AbortTalkPageEmailNotification, this will be used to determine
  3823. whether to send the regular talk page email notification
  3824. * Action classes registered in $wgActions are now also supported in the form of
  3825. a callback (which returns an instance of Action) instead of providing the name
  3826. of a subclass of Action.
  3827. * (bug 46513) Vector: Add the collapsibleTabs script from the Vector extension.
  3828. * Added $wgRecentChangesFlags for defining new flags for RecentChanges and
  3829. watchlists.
  3830. * (bug 40518) mw.toolbar: Implemented mw.toolbar.addButtons for adding multiple
  3831. button objects in one call.
  3832. * Rights used for the default protection levels ('sysop' and 'autoconfirmed')
  3833. are now used just for that purpose, instead of overloading other rights. This
  3834. allows easy granting of the ability to edit sysop-protected pages without
  3835. also granting the ability to protect and unprotect.
  3836. * (bug 48256) Make brackets in section edit links accessible to CSS.
  3837. They are now wrapped in <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" />.
  3838. * (bug 8480) Allow handler specific parameters in galleries (like page number)
  3839. * jquery.client: Add detection for Opera 15 and Internet Explorer 11.
  3840. * Change tags (used by the AbuseFilter extension) are now shown on diff pages.
  3841. * Change tag lists (shown on recent changes, watchlist, user contributions,
  3842. history pages, diff pages) now include a link to Special:Tags to distinguish
  3843. them from edit summaries.
  3844. * Added a new method and hook, User::isEveryoneAllowed() and
  3845. UserIsEveryoneAllowed, for use in situations where a "does everyone have this
  3846. right?" check is used to avoid more expensive checks.
  3847. * (bug 14431) Display "(No difference)" instead of an empty diff (when comparing
  3848. revisions in the history or when previewing changes while editing).
  3849. * New hook 'IsUploadAllowedFromUrl' is added which can be used to intercept uploads by
  3850. URL, useful for blacklisting specific URLs
  3851. * (bug 21912) Watchlist token implementation has been refactored and
  3852. Special:ResetTokens was added to allow users to reset their tokens
  3853. instead of presenting them in Preferences.
  3854. * Special:PrefixIndex now lets you strip the searched prefix from the displayed
  3855. titles. Given a list of articles named Bug1, Bug2, you can now transclude the
  3856. list of bug numbers using: {{Special:PrefixIndex/Bug|stripprefix=1}}.
  3857. The special page form received a new checkbox matching that option.
  3858. * (bug 23580) Implement javascript callback interface "mw.hook".
  3859. * (bug 30713) New mw.hook "wikipage.content".
  3860. * (bug 40430) jquery.placeholder gets a new parameter to set the attribute value
  3861. to be used.
  3862. * $wgHTCPMulticastRouting renamed $wgHTCPRouting since it accepts unicast.
  3863. * $wgHTCPRouting rules can now be passed an array of hosts/ports to send purge
  3864. too. Can be used whenever several multicast group could be interested by a
  3865. specific purge.
  3866. * (bug 25931) Add Special:RandomInCategory.
  3867. * mediawiki.util: addPortletLink now supports passing a jQuery object as nextnode.
  3868. * <wbr> can now be used inside WikiText.
  3869. * WebResponse::setcookie is much more featureful. Callers using PHP's
  3870. setcookie() or setrawcookie() should begin using this instead.
  3871. * New hook WebResponseSetCookie, called from WebResponse::setcookie().
  3872. * New hook ResetSessionID, called when the session id is reset.
  3873. * Add a mode parameter to <gallery> tag with potential options of "traditional",
  3874. "nolines", "packed", "packed-overlay", or "packed-hover".
  3875. * (bug 47399) A success message is now displayed after changing the password.
  3876. * Make thumb.php give HTTP redirects for file redirects
  3877. * (bug 30607) Special:ListFiles can now show old versions of files. Additionally
  3878. Special:AllMyUploads was introduced so the user can get a list of all things
  3879. they have ever uploaded, even if it was subsequently overridden.
  3880. * Introduced Special:MyFiles and Special:AllMyFiles as an alias for Special:MyUploads
  3881. and Special:AllMyUploads respectively.
  3882. * IPv6 addresses in X-Forwarded-For headers are now normalised before checking
  3883. against allowed proxy lists.

  3885. * Add TitleMove hook before page renames.
  3886. * Revision deletion backend code is moved out of SpecialRevisiondelete
  3887. * Added {{REVISIONSIZE}} variable to get the current size of a revision.
  3888. * Add support for the LESS stylesheet language to ResourceLoader. LESS is a
  3889. stylesheet language that compiles into CSS. ResourceLoader file modules may
  3890. include LESS style files; ResourceLoader will compile these files into CSS
  3891. before sending them to the client.
  3892. ** The $wgResourceLoaderLESSVars configuration variable is an associative array
  3893. mapping variable names to string CSS values. These variables are considered
  3894. declared for all LESS files. Additional variables may be registered by
  3895. adding keys to the array.
  3896. ** $wgResourceLoaderLESSFunctions is an associative array of custom LESS
  3897. function names to PHP callables. See <http://leafo.net/lessphp/docs/#custom_functions>
  3898. for more details regarding custom functions.
  3899. ** $wgResourceLoaderLESSImportPaths is an array of file system paths. Files
  3900. referenced in LESS '@import' statements are looked up here first.
  3901. * ResourceLoader supports hashes as module cache invalidation trigger (instead
  3902. of or in addition to timestamps).
  3903. * Added $wgExtensionEntryPointListFiles for use in mergeMessageFileList.php.
  3904. * Added a hook, APIQuerySiteInfoStatisticsInfo, to allow extensions to modify
  3905. the output of the API query meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics
  3906. * Primary keys have been added to both the archive table and the externallinks
  3907. tables.
  3908. * Added $wgEnableParserLimitReporting to control whether the NewPP limit report is
  3909. output in a HTML comment.
  3910. * The 'UnwatchArticle' and 'WatchArticle' hooks now support a Status object
  3911. instead of just a boolean return value to abort the hook.
  3912. * Added a hook, SpecialWatchlistGetNonRevisionTypes, to allow extensions
  3913. with custom recentchanges entries to hook into the Watchlist without
  3914. clobbering each other.
  3915. * A hidden, empty input field was added to the edit form, and any edit that fills
  3916. it in will be rejected. This prevents against the simplest form of spambots.
  3917. Previously in the "SimpleAntiSpam" extension by Ryan Schmidt.
  3918. * populateRevisionLength.php maintenance script updated to also populate
  3919. archive.ar_len field.
  3920. * (bug 43571) DatabaseMySQLBase learned to list views, optionally filtered by a
  3921. prefix. Also fixed PHPUnit test suite when using a MySQL backend containing
  3922. views.
  3923. === Bug fixes in 1.22 ===
  3924. * (bug 47271) $wgContentHandlerUseDB should be set to false during the upgrade
  3925. * Disable Special:PasswordReset when $wgEnableEmail is false. Previously one
  3926. could still navigate to the page by entering the URL directly.
  3927. * (bug 47138) Fixed a fatal error when a blocked user tries to automatically
  3928. create an account on login due external authentication in some circumstances.
  3929. * (bug 23393) HTML <hN> headings containing line breaks are now handled
  3930. correctly.
  3931. * (bug 45803) Whitespace within == Headline == syntax and within <hN> headings
  3932. is now non-significant and not preserved in the HTML output.
  3933. * (bug 47218) Special:BlockList now handles correctly user names with spaces
  3934. when passed as subpage.
  3935. * Pager's properly validate which fields are allowed to be sorted on.
  3936. * mw.util.tooltipAccessKeyRegexp: The regex now matches "option-" as well.
  3937. Support for Mac "option" was added in 1.16, but the regex was never updated.
  3938. * (bug 46768) Usernames of blocking users now display correctly, even if numeric.
  3939. * (bug 39590) Self-transclusions now show the most up to date result always
  3940. after save instead of being a revision behind.
  3941. * A bias in wfRandomString() toward digits 1-7 has been corrected. Generated
  3942. strings will now start with digits 0 and 8-f as often as they should.
  3943. * (bug 45371) Removed Parser_LinkHooks and CoreLinkFunctions classes.
  3944. * (bug 41545) Allow <kbd>, <samp>, and <var> to be nested like allowed in html.
  3945. * PLURAL magic word no longer causes a PHP notice when no matching form exists.
  3946. * (bug 36641) Patrol page links no longer show on non-existent revisions.
  3947. * (bug 35810) Pages not linked from Special:RecentChanges or Special:NewPages
  3948. are patrollable now.
  3949. * (bug 30213) JavaScript for search suggestions is now disabled when the API
  3950. is disabled, and AJAX patrolling and watching are now disabled when use of
  3951. the write API is not allowed.
  3952. * (bug 48294) API: Fix chunk upload async mode.
  3953. * (bug 46749) Broken files tracking category removed from pages if an image
  3954. with that name is uploaded.
  3955. * (bug 14176) System messages that are empty were previously incorrectly treated
  3956. as non-existent, causing a fallback to the default. This stopped users from
  3957. overriding system messages to make them blank.
  3958. * (bug 48319) action=parse no longer returns an error if passed none of 'oldid',
  3959. 'pageid', 'page', 'title', and 'text' (e.g. if only passed 'summary'). A
  3960. warning will instead be issued if 'title' is non-default, unless no props are
  3961. requested.
  3962. * Special:Recentchangeslinked will now include upload log entries
  3963. * (bug 41281) Fixed ugly output if file size could not be extracted for multi-page media.
  3964. * (bug 50315) list=logevents API module will now output log entries by anonymous users.
  3965. * (bug 38911) Handle headers with rowspan in jquery.tablesorter
  3966. * (bug 658) Converted the table of contents on wiki pages from <table> to <div>
  3967. and adjusted skin CSS accordingly. The CSS was carefully crafted to be
  3968. backwards-compatible in all reasonable cases (uses of the __TOC__ magic word,
  3969. the #toc CSS id and the .toc CSS class). However, particularly bad abuse of
  3970. the id or the class can possibly break.
  3971. * CSSJanus now supports rgb, hsl, rgba, and hsla color syntaxes.
  3972. * Special:Listfiles can no longer be sorted by image name when filtering
  3973. by user in miser mode.
  3974. * (bug 49074) CSSJanus: Handle values of border-radius correctly.
  3975. * Handle relative inclusions ({{../name}}) in main namespace with subpages
  3976. enabled correctly (previously MediaWiki tried to include Template:Parent/name
  3977. instead of just Parent/name).
  3978. * Added $wgAPIUselessQueryPages to allow extensions to flag their query pages
  3979. for non-inclusion in ApiQueryQueryPages.
  3980. * (bug 50870) mediawiki.notification: Notification area should remain visible
  3981. when scrolled down.
  3982. * (bug 13438) Special:MIMESearch no longer an expensive special page.
  3983. * (bug 48342) Fixed a fatal error when $wgValidateAllHtml is set to true and
  3984. the function apache_request_headers() function is not available.
  3985. * (bug 33399) LivePreview: Re-run wikipage content handlers
  3986. (jquery.makeCollapsible, jquery.tablesorter) after preview content is loaded.
  3987. * (bug 51891) Fixed PHP notice on Special:PagesWithProp when no properties
  3988. are defined.
  3989. * (bug 52006) Corrected documentation of $wgTranscludeCacheExpiry.
  3990. * (bug 52077) The APIEditBeforeSave hook is giving the content of the whole
  3991. revision as second argument now, rather than just the current section.
  3992. * (bug 49694) $wgSpamRegex is now also applied on the new section headline text
  3993. adding a new topic on a page
  3994. * (bug 41756) Improve treatment of multiple comments on a blank line.
  3995. * (bug 51064) Purge upstream caches when deleting file assets.
  3996. * (bug 39012) File types with a mime that we do not know the extension for
  3997. can no longer be uploaded as an extension that we do know the mime type
  3998. for.
  3999. * (bug 51742) Add data-sort-value for better sorting of hitcounts Special:Tags
  4000. * (bug 26811) On DB error pages, server hostnames are now hidden when both
  4001. $wgShowHostnames and $wgShowSQLErrors are false.
  4002. * (bug 6200) line breaks in <blockquote> are handled like they are in <div>
  4003. * (bug 14931) Default character set now set to 'utf8' when a new MySQL
  4004. database is created.
  4005. * (bug 47191) Fixed "Column 'si_title' cannot be part of FULLTEXT index"
  4006. MySQL error when installing using the binary character set option.
  4007. * (bug 45288) Support mysqli PHP extension
  4008. * (bug 55818) BREAKING CHANGE: Removed undocumented 'Debug' hook in wfDebug.
  4009. This resolves an infinite loop when using $wgDebugFunctionEntry = true.
  4010. * (bug 56707) Correct tooltip of "Next n results" on query special pages.
  4011. * (bug 56770) mw.util.addPortletLink: Check length before access array index.
  4012. === API changes in 1.22 ===
  4013. * (bug 25553) The JSON output formatter now leaves forward slashes unescaped
  4014. to improve human readability of URLs and similar strings. Also, a "utf8"
  4015. option is now provided to use UTF-8 encoding instead of hex escape codes
  4016. for most non-ASCII characters.
  4017. * (bug 46626) xmldoublequote parameter was removed. Because of a bug, the
  4018. parameter has had no effect since MediaWiki 1.16, and so its removal is
  4019. unlikely to impact existing clients.
  4020. * (bug 47216) action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=skins will now indicate which
  4021. skin is the default and which are unusable (e.g. listed in $wgSkipSkins).
  4022. * (bug 25325) Added support for wlshow filtering (bots/anon/minor/patrolled)
  4023. to action=feedwatchlist.
  4024. * WDDX formatted output will actually be formatted (and normal output will no
  4025. longer be), and will no longer choke on booleans.
  4026. * action=opensearch no longer silently ignores the format parameter.
  4027. * action=opensearch now supports format=jsonfm.
  4028. * list=usercontribs&ucprop=ids will now include the parent revision id.
  4029. * BREAKING CHANGE: action=parse no longer returns all langlinks for the page
  4030. with prop=langlinks by default. The new effectivelanglinks parameter will
  4031. request that the LanguageLinks hook be called to determine the effective
  4032. language links.
  4033. * BREAKING CHANGE: list=allpages, list=langbacklinks, and prop=langlinks do not
  4034. apply the new LanguageLinks hook, and thus only consider language links
  4035. stored in the database.
  4036. * (bug 47219) Allow specifying change type of Wikipedia feed items
  4037. * prop=imageinfo now allows setting iiurlheight without setting iiurlwidth
  4038. * prop=info now adds the content model and page language of the title.
  4039. * New upload log entries will now contain information on the relevant
  4040. image (sha1 and timestamp).
  4041. * (bug 49239) action=parse now can parse in preview and section preview modes.
  4042. * (bug 49259) action=patrol now accepts revision ids.
  4043. * (bug 48129) list=blocks&bkip= now correctly handles IPv6 CIDR ranges and
  4044. honors $wgBlockCIDRLimit. Note any clients passing invalid values to bkip
  4045. will now receive an error, rather than the previous behavior listing all
  4046. user blocks.
  4047. * (bug 48201) action=parse&text=foo now assumes wikitext if no title is given,
  4048. rather than using the content model of the page "API".
  4049. * action=watch no longer silently ignores hook abort.
  4050. * (bug 50785) action=purge with forcelinkupdate=1 no longer queues refreshLinks
  4051. jobs in the job queue for link table updates of pages that use the given page
  4052. as a template. Instead, forcerecursivelinkupdate=1 is introduced and should
  4053. be used if that behaviour is desirable.
  4054. * The 'debugLog' property (enabled by $wgDebugToolbar) no longer sets the log
  4055. entry values through ApiResult::content but directly. This changes the JSON
  4056. output from an array of objects with content in '*' to an array of strings
  4057. with the content.
  4058. * (bug 51342) prop=imageinfo iicontinue now contains the dbkey, not the text
  4059. version of the title.
  4060. * (bug 52538) action=edit will now use empty text instead of the contents
  4061. of section 0 when passed prependtext or appendtext with section=new.
  4062. * Support for the 'gettoken' parameter to action=block and action=unblock,
  4063. deprecated since 1.20, has been removed.
  4064. * (bug 49090) Token-getting functions will fail when using jsonp callbacks.
  4065. * (bug 52699) action=upload returns normalized file name on warning
  4066. "exists-normalized" instead of filename to be uploaded to.
  4067. * (bug 53884) action=edit will now return an error when the specified section
  4068. does not exist in the page.
  4069. * Added meta=filerepoinfo API module for getting information about foreign
  4070. file repositories, and related ForeignAPIRepo methods getInfo and getApiUrl.
  4071. * The new query module list=allfileusages to enumerate file usages was added.
  4072. === Languages updated in 1.22 ===
  4073. MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
  4074. regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
  4075. changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
  4076. * Batak Toba (bbc-latn) added.
  4077. * (bug 46751) Made Buryat (Russia) (буряад) (bxr) fallback to Russian.
  4078. === Other changes in 1.22 ===
  4079. * BREAKING CHANGE: Implementation of MediaWiki's JS and JSON value encoding
  4080. has changed:
  4081. ** MediaWiki no longer supports PHP installations in which the native JSON
  4082. extension is missing or disabled.
  4083. ** XmlJsCode objects can no longer be nested inside objects or arrays.
  4084. (For Xml::encodeJsCall(), this individually applies to each argument.)
  4085. ** The sets of characters escaped by default, along with the precise escape
  4086. sequences used, have changed (except for the Xml::escapeJsString()
  4087. function, which is now deprecated).
  4088. * BREAKING CHANGE: The Services_JSON class has been removed. If necessary,
  4089. be sure to upgrade affected extensions at the same time (e.g. Collection).
  4090. * redirect.php was removed. It was unused.
  4091. * ClickTracking integration was dropped from the mediaWiki.user.bucket
  4092. JavaScript function. The 'tracked' option is now ignored.
  4093. * BREAKING CHANGE: Legacy skins Simple, MySkin, Chick, Standard and Nostalgia
  4094. were all removed. (Nostalgia was moved to an extension.) The SkinLegacy and
  4095. LegacyTemplate classes that supported them were removed as well and are now a
  4096. part of the Nostalgia extension.
  4097. * Event namespace used by jquery.makeCollapsible has been changed from
  4098. 'mw-collapse' to 'mw-collapsible' for consistency with the module name.
  4099. * BREAKING CHANGE: The "ExternalAuth" authentication subsystem was removed, along
  4100. with its associated globals of $wgExternalAuthType, $wgExternalAuthConf,
  4101. $wgAutocreatePolicy and $wgAllowPrefChange. Affected users are encouraged to
  4102. use AuthPlugin for external authentication/authorization needs.
  4103. * The Quickbar feature of the legacy skin model and the last remnants of it
  4104. throughout the code base have been removed.
  4105. * Externaledit/externaldiff preference was removed. Very few users used this
  4106. feature, and improper configuration can actually prevent a user from editing
  4107. * Calling Linker methods using a skin will now output deprecation warnings.
  4108. * (bug 46680) "Return to" links are no longer tagged with rel="next".
  4109. * BREAKING CHANGE: mw.util.tooltipAccessKeyRegexp: The match group for the
  4110. accesskey character is now $6 instead of $5.
  4111. * HipHop compiler (hphpc) support was removed. HipHop VM support (hhvm) was
  4112. added.
  4113. * A new Special:Redirect page was added, providing lookup by revision ID,
  4114. user ID, or file name. The old Special:Filepath page was reimplemented
  4115. to redirect through Special:Redirect.
  4116. * Monobook: Removed the old conditional stylesheets for Opera 6, 7 and 9.
  4117. * Support for XHTML 1.0 has been removed. MediaWiki now only outputs (X)HTML5.
  4118. * wikibits: User-agent related globals have been deprecated. The following
  4119. properties now default to false and emit mw.log.warn: is_gecko, is_chrome_mac,
  4120. is_chrome, webkit_version, is_safari_win, is_safari, webkit_match, is_ff2,
  4121. ff2_bugs, is_ff2_win, is_ff2_x11, opera95_bugs, opera7_bugs, opera6_bugs,
  4122. is_opera_95, is_opera_preseven, is_opera, and ie6_bugs.
  4123. * (bug 48276) MediaWiki will now flash a confirmation message upon successfully
  4124. editing a page.
  4125. * (bug 40785) mediawiki.legacy.ajax has been marked as deprecated. The following
  4126. properties now emit mw.log.warn when accessed: sajax_debug, sajax_init_object,
  4127. sajax_do_call and wfSupportsAjax.
  4128. * BREAKING CHANGE: meta keywords are no longer supported. A <meta name="keywords"
  4129. will no longer be output and OutputPage::addKeyword no longer exists.
  4130. * Methods Title::userCanEditCssSubpage and Title::userCanEditJsSubpage,
  4131. deprecated since 1.19, have been removed.
  4132. * (bug 50134) Hook functions are no longer required to return a value. When a
  4133. hook function does not return a value (or when it returns an explicit null),
  4134. processing continues. To abort the hook, a hook function must return an
  4135. explicit, boolean false or a string error message. Other falsey values are
  4136. tantamount to a 'return true' in earlier versions of MediaWiki.
  4137. * BREAKING CHANGE: The EditSectionLink hook was removed after being
  4138. deprecated since MediaWiki 1.14. Use DoEditSectionLink instead.
  4139. * (bug 48256) The 'editsection-brackets' optional message was removed.
  4140. Section edit links' brackets can now be customized using CSS by
  4141. styling span.mw-editsection-bracket.
  4142. * The usePatrol function in ChangesList has been marked as deprecated.
  4143. * (bug 50785) A "null edit", that is, a save action in which no changes to the
  4144. page text are made and no revision recorded, will no longer send refreshLinks
  4145. jobs to the job table to update pages which use the edited page as a template.
  4146. * The LivePreviewPrepare and LivePreviewDone events triggered on "jQuery( mw )"
  4147. have been deprecated in favour of using mw.hook.
  4148. * The 'showjumplinks' user preference has been removed, jump links are now
  4149. always included.
  4150. * Methods RecentChange::notifyRC2UDP, RecentChange::sendToUDP, and
  4151. RecentChange::cleanupForIRC have been deprecated, as it is now the
  4152. responsibility of classes implementing the RCFeedFormatter and RCFeedEngine
  4153. interfaces to implement the formatting and delivery for recent change
  4154. notifications.
  4155. * SpecialPrefixindex methods namespacePrefixForm() and showPrefixChunk() have
  4156. been made protected. They were accepting form variance arguments, this is now
  4157. using properties in the SpecialPrefixindex class.
  4158. * (bug 50310) BREAKING CHANGE: wikibits: Drop support for mwCustomEditButtons.
  4159. It defaults to an empty array and emits mw.log.warn when accessed.
  4160. * BREAKING CHANGE: Special:Disambiguations has been removed from MediaWiki core.
  4161. Functions related to disambiguation pages are now handled by the Disambiguator
  4162. extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Disambiguator) (bug
  4163. 35981).
  4164. * BREAKING CHANGE: The 'mediawiki.legacy.wikiprintable' module has been removed.
  4165. The skins/common/wikiprintable.css file no longer exists. Return value of
  4166. Skin#commonPrintStylesheet is ignored. Please use the 'mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint'
  4167. module instead or base your skin on SkinTemplate.
  4168. * (bug 49629) The hook ExtractThumbParameters has been deprecated in favour
  4169. of media handler overriding MediaHandler::parseParamString.
  4170. * (bug 46512) The collapsibleNav feature from the Vector extension has been moved
  4171. to the Vector skin in core.
  4172. * SpecialRecentChanges::addRecentChangesJS() function has been renamed
  4173. to addModules() and made protected.
  4174. * Methods WatchAction::doWatch and WatchAction::doUnwatch now return a Status
  4175. object instead of a boolean.
  4176. * Information boxes (CSS classes errorbox, warningbox, successbox) have been
  4177. made more subtle.
  4178. * BREAKING CHANGE: The module 'mediawiki.legacy.IEFixes' has been removed as it was
  4179. unused. The file skins/common/IEFixes.js remains but is only used by wikibits.
  4180. The file never contained any re-usable components. To use it in a skin, load
  4181. 'mediawiki.legacy.wikibits' (which IEFixes depends on) and that will import
  4182. IEFixes automatically if user agent conditions are met.
  4183. * Code specific to the Math extension was marked as deprecated.
  4184. * mediawiki.util: mw.util.wikiGetlink has been renamed to getUrl. (The old name
  4185. still works, but is deprecated.)

  4263. * (bug 38110) Schema changes (adding or dropping tables, indices and
  4264. fields) can be now be done separately from other changes that
  4265. update.php makes. This is useful in environments that use database
  4266. permissions to restrict schema changes but allow the DB user that
  4267. MediaWiki normally runs as to perform other changes that update.php
  4268. makes. Schema changes can be run separately. See the file UPGRADE
  4269. for more information.
  4270. * (bug 34876) jquery.makeCollapsible has been improved in performance.

  4278. * jQuery UI upgraded from 1.8.23 to 1.8.24.
  4279. * Added separate fa_sha1 field to filearchive table. This allows sha1
  4280. searches with the api in miser mode for deleted files.
  4281. * Add initial and programmatic sorting for tablesorter.
  4282. * Add the event "sortEnd.tablesorter", triggered after sorting has completed.
  4283. * The Job system was refactored to allow for different backing stores for
  4284. queues as well as cross-wiki access to queues, among other things. The schema
  4285. for the DB queue was changed to support better concurrency and reduce
  4286. deadlock errors.
  4287. * Added ApiQueryORM class to facilitate creation of query API modules based on
  4288. tables that have a corresponding ORMTable class.
  4289. * (bug 40876) Icon for PSD (Adobe Photoshop) file types.
  4290. * (bug 40641) Implemented Special:Version/Credits with a list of contributors.
  4291. * (bug 7851) Implemented one-click AJAX patrolling.
  4292. * The <data>, <time>, <meta>, and <link> elements are allowed within WikiText

  4299. new fields to the "editOptions" area of the edit form.
  4300. * Upload stash DB schema altered to improve upload performance.
  4301. * The following global functions are now reporting deprecated warnings in
  4302. debug mode: wfMsg, wfMsgNoTrans, wfMsgForContent, wfMsgForContentNoTrans,
  4303. wfMsgReal, wfMsgGetKey, wfMsgHtml, wfMsgWikiHtml, wfMsgExt, wfEmptyMsg. Use
  4304. the Message class, or the global method wfMessage.
  4305. * Added $wgEnableCanonicalServerLink, off by default. If enabled, a
  4306. <link rel=canonical> tag is added to every page indicating the correct server
  4307. to use.
  4308. * Debug message emitted by wfDebugLog() will now be prefixed with the group
  4309. name when its logged to the default log file. That is the case whenever the
  4310. group has no key in wgDebugLogGroups, that will help triage the default log.

  4322. * (bug 40124) action=options API also allows for setting of arbitrary
  4323. preferences, provided that their names are prefixed with 'userjs-'. This
  4324. officially reenables the feature that was undocumented and defective
  4325. in MW 1.20 (saving preferences using Special:Preferences cleared any
  4326. additional fields) and which has been disabled in 1.20.1 as a part of
  4327. a security fix (bug 42202).
  4328. * Added option to specify "others" as author in extension credits using
  4329. "..." as author name.
  4330. * Added the ability to limit the wall clock time used by shell processes,
  4331. as well as the CPU time. Configurable with $wgMaxShellWallClockTime.
  4332. * Allow memory of shell subprocesses to be limited using Linux cgroups
  4333. instead of ulimit -v, which tends to cause deadlocks in recent versions

  4335. * Added $wgWhitelistReadRegexp for regex whitelisting.
  4336. * (bug 5346) Categories that are redirects will be displayed italic in

  4340. subclass in HTMLForm.
  4341. * WikiText now permits the use of WAI-ARIA's role="presentation" inside of
  4342. html elements and tables. This allows presentational markup, especially
  4343. tables. To be marked up as such.
  4344. * maintenance/sql.php learned the --cluster option. Let you run the script
  4345. on some external cluster instead of the primary cluster for a given wiki.
  4346. * (bug 20281) test the parsing of inline URLs.
  4347. * Added Special:PagesWithProp, which lists pages using a particular page property.
  4348. * Implemented language-specific collations for category sorting for 67 languages
  4349. based in latin, greek and cyrillic alphabets. This allows one to *finally* get
  4350. articles to be correctly sorted on category pages. They are named
  4351. 'uca-<langcode>', where <langcode> is one of: af, ast, az, be, bg, br, bs, ca,
  4352. co, cs, cy, da, de, dsb, el, en, eo, es, et, eu, fi, fo, fr, fur, fy, ga, gd,

  4354. oc, pl, pt, rm, ro, ru, rup, sco, sk, sl, smn, sq, sr, sv, tk, tl, tr, tt, uk,
  4355. uz, vi.
  4356. * Added 'CategoryAfterPageAdded' and 'CategoryAfterPageRemoved' hooks.
  4357. * Added 'HistoryRevisionTools' and 'DiffRevisionTools' hooks.
  4358. * Added 'SpecialSearchResultsPrepend' and 'SpecialSearchResultsAppend' hooks.
  4359. * (bug 33186) Add image rotation api "imagerotate"
  4360. * (bug 34040) Add "User rights management" link on user page toolbox.
  4361. * (bug 45526) Add QUnit assertion helper "QUnit.assert.htmlEqual" for asserting
  4362. structual equality of HTML (ignoring insignificant differences like
  4363. quotmarks, order and whitespace in the attribute list).
  4364. * (bug 23393) HTML <hN> headings containing line breaks are now handled
  4365. correctly.
  4366. * (bug 45803) Whitespace within == Headline == syntax and within <hN> headings
  4367. is now non-significant and not preserved in the HTML output.
  4368. === Bug fixes in 1.21 ===

  4380. $wgSquidPurgeUseHostHeader to false.
  4381. * (bug 37020) sql.php with readline eats semicolon.
  4382. * (bug 11748) Properly handle optionally-closed HTML tags when Tidy is

  4478. * action=options now takes a "resetkinds" option, which allows only resetting
  4479. certain types of preferences when the "reset" option is set.
  4480. * (bug 36751) ApiQueryImageInfo now returns imageinfo for the redirect target
  4481. when queried with &redirects=.

  4487. * action=help supports generalized submodules (modules=query+value), querymodules obsolete
  4488. * ApiQueryImageInfo continuation is more reliable. The only major change is
  4489. that the imagerepository property will no longer be set on page objects not
  4490. processed in the current query (i.e. non-images or those skipped due to
  4491. iicontinue).
  4492. * Add supports for all pageset capabilities - generators, redirects, converttitles to
  4493. action=purge and action=setnotificationtimestamp.
  4494. * (bug 43251) prop=pageprops&ppprop= now accepts multiple props to query.
  4495. * ApiQueryImageInfo will now limit the number of calls to File::transform made

  4507. * Added 'continue=' parameter to streamline client iteration over complex query results
  4508. * (bug 44909) API parameters may now be marked as type "upload", which is now
  4509. used for action=upload's 'file' and 'chunk' parameters. This type will raise
  4510. an error during parameter validation if the parameter is given but not
  4511. recognized as an uploaded file.
  4512. * (bug 44244) prop=info may now return the number of people watching each page.
  4513. * (bug 33304) list=allpages will no longer return duplicate entries when
  4514. querying protection.

  4519. to action=feedwatchlist
  4520. * WDDX formatted output will actually be formatted (and normal output will no
  4521. longer be), and will no longer choke on booleans.
  4522. === API internal changes in 1.21 ===
  4523. * For debugging only, a new global $wgDebugAPI removes many API restrictions when true.
  4524. Never use on the production servers, as this flag introduces security holes.
  4525. Whenever enabled, a warning will also be added to all output.
  4526. * ApiModuleManager now handles all submodules (actions,props,lists) and instantiation
  4527. * Query stores prop/list/meta as submodules
  4528. * ApiPageSet can now be used in any action to process titles/pageids/revids or any generator.
  4529. * BREAKING CHANGE: ApiPageSet constructor now has two params instead of three, with only the
  4530. first one keeping its meaning. ApiPageSet is now derived from ApiBase.
  4531. * BREAKING CHANGE: ApiQuery::newGenerator() and executeGeneratorModule() were deleted.
  4532. * ApiQueryGeneratorBase::setGeneratorMode() now requires a pageset param.

  4537. MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated

  4543. * (bug 34977) Now formatted numbers in Spanish use space as separator
  4544. for thousands, as mandated by the Real Academia Española.
  4545. * (bug 35031) Kurdish formatted numbers now use period and comma
  4546. as separators for thousands and decimals respectively.
  4547. === Other changes in 1.21 ===
  4548. * BREAKING CHANGE: (bug 44385) Removed the jquery.collapsibleTabs module and
  4549. moved it to the Vector extension. It was entirely Vector-extension-specific,
  4550. deeply interconnected with the extension, and this functionality really
  4551. belongs to the extension instead of the skin anyway. In the unlikely case you
  4552. were using it, you have to either copy it to your extension, or install the
  4553. Vector extension (and possibly disable its features using config settings if
  4554. you don't want them).
  4555. * Experimental IBM DB2 support was removed due to lack of interest and maintainership
  4556. * BREAKING CHANGE: Filenames of maintenance scripts were standardized into
  4557. lowerCamelCase format, and made more explicit:
  4558. - clear_stats.php -> clearCacheStats.php
  4559. - clear_interwiki_cache.php -> clearInterwikiCache.php
  4560. - initStats.php -> initSiteStats.php
  4561. - proxy_check.php -> proxyCheck.php
  4562. - stats.php -> showCacheStats.php
  4563. - showStats.php -> showSiteStats.php.
  4564. Class names were renamed accordingly:
  4565. - clear_stats -> ClearCacheStats
  4566. - InitStats -> InitSiteStats
  4567. - CacheStats -> ShowCacheStats
  4568. - ShowStats -> ShowSiteStats.
  4569. * BREAKING CHANGE: (bug 38244) Removed the mediawiki.api.titleblacklist module
  4570. and moved it to the TitleBlacklist extension.

  5610. * (bug 29912) Unit tests break if parsertest tables are still present.
  5611. * (bug 31694) During installation, tabbing order (cursor focus) goes to logo

  5622. === Configuration changes in 1.18 ===
  5623. * The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with
  5624. WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions.
  5625. * The SkinTemplateBuildContentActionUrlsAfterSpecialPage,
  5626. SkinTemplateContentActions and SkinTemplateTabs hooks have been removed in
  5627. favor of SkinTemplateNavigation and SkinTemplateNavigation::SpecialPage.
  5628. * $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined
  5629. login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login
  5630. and create account links.
  5631. * Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in
  5632. $wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for
  5633. $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try
  5634. loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook.
  5635. * $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit
  5636. per upload type.
  5637. * $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set
  5638. $wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0;
  5639. * OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed
  5640. by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false.
  5641. * Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins
  5642. should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate.
  5643. * The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old
  5644. Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with
  5645. $wgLegacyEncoding set.
  5646. * (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we
  5647. look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage.
  5648. * $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed.
  5649. Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the
  5650. same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to
  5651. replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality.
  5652. * The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box
  5653. makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation"
  5654. and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk
  5655. edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block
  5656. anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings
  5657. remain the same.
  5658. * Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which
  5659. will probably break screen-scraping bots.
  5660. * (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default.
  5661. $wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default.
  5662. * (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least
  5663. *appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the
  5664. ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the
  5665. output.
  5666. * (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable
  5667. math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from
  5668. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php:
  5669. require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php";
  5670. * $wgProfiler is now a configuration array, see StartProfiler.sample for
  5671. details.
  5672. * $wgProfiling has been removed.
  5673. * The spyc library is now no longer included in phase3.
  5674. * (bug 28343) Unused preferences contextlines/contextchars have been removed
  5675. * $wgSkinExtensionFunctions has been removed. Use $wgExtensionFunctions instead.
  5676. * $wgProto has been removed. You now only need to set $wgServer to change the
  5677. URL protocol.
  5678. * $wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups (deprecated in 1.13) has been removed.
  5679. * $wgInputEncoding and $wgOutputEncoding (deprecated in 1.5) have now been removed.
  5680. * $wgAllowUserSkin (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed.
  5681. * $wgExtraRandompageSQL (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed.
  5682. * LogReader and LogViewer classes (deprecated in 1.14) have now been removed.
  5683. * (bug 26033) Added $wgArticleCountMethod to select the method to use to say
  5684. whether a page is an article or not. $wgUseCommaCount is now deprecated.
  5685. * $wgEnableDublinCoreRdf and $wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf no longer work in core,
  5686. and the functionality has been moved to the relevant extensions. See
  5687. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DublinCoreRdf and
  5688. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CreativeCommonsRdf as appropriate.
  5689. * (bug 21107) Split error "customcssjsprotected" into separate messages for JS and CSS
  5690. * Removed $wgCheckCopyrightUpload from DefaultSettings, since the relevant feature
  5691. was removed in about 1.5.
  5692. * LogPageValidTypes, LogPageLogName, LogPageLogHeader and LogPageActionText
  5693. hooks have been removed.
  5694. * New hook "Collation::factory" to allow extensions to create custom
  5695. category collations.
  5696. * $wgGroupPermissions now supports per namespace permissions.
  5697. * $wgEnableAutoRotation enables or disables auto-rotation. Leaving it set to
  5698. null will cause MediaWiki to determine if auto-rotation is available.
  5699. === New features in 1.18 ===
  5700. * BREAKING CHANGE: action=watch / action=unwatch now requires a token.
  5701. * BREAKING CHANGE: Article class hierarchy split into WikiPage (backend)
  5702. and Article (frontend) hierarchies. Several hooks now pass a WikiPage object instead
  5703. of an Article object. These hooks all use an $article parameter as documented in hooks.txt.
  5704. Extensions should be updated to account for this, though most won't require any changes.
  5705. * (bug 27860) Minor edit after clicking 'new section' tab
  5706. Now the "This is a minor edit" checkbox is not available when you
  5707. create a page or new section.
  5708. * (bug 8130) Query pages should limit to content namespaces, not just main
  5709. namespace.
  5710. * Special:Contribs now redirects to Special:Contributions.
  5711. * (bug 6672) Images are now autorotated according to their EXIF orientation.
  5712. This only affects thumbnails; the source remains unrotated.
  5713. * (bug 25708) Update case mappings and normalization to Unicode 6.0.0.
  5714. * New hook ArticlePrepareTextForEdit added, called when preparing text to be
  5715. saved.
  5716. * New parser option PreSaveTransform added, allows the pre-save transformation
  5717. to be selectively disabled.
  5718. * Alternative to $wgHooks implemented, using the new Hooks class.
  5719. * Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a
  5720. thumbnail.
  5721. * (bug 26870) Add size to {{filepath:}}.
  5722. * Upload warnings now show a thumbnail of the uploaded file.

  5733. MediaWiki:Group-autoconfirmed.css, etc.
  5734. * (bug 24230) Uploads of ZIP types, such as MS Office or OpenOffice can now be
  5735. safely enabled. A ZIP file reader was added which can scan a ZIP file for
  5736. potentially dangerous Java applets. This allows applets to be blocked
  5737. specifically, rather than all ZIP files being blocked.
  5738. * (bug 2429) Allow selection of associated namespace in recent changes.
  5739. * (bug 26217) File size is now checked before uploading in HTML5 browsers.
  5740. * CSS stylesheet MediaWiki:Noscript.css is now loaded for users with JavaScript
  5741. disabled (enclosed in the head in a <noscript> tag).
  5742. * Added UserGetLanguageObject hook to change the language used in $wgLang.
  5743. * (bug 14645) When $wgMiserMode is on, expensive special pages are styled
  5744. differently (italicized by default) on Special:SpecialPages.
  5745. * Added $wgAggregateStatsID, which allows UDP stats to be aggregated over
  5746. several wikis.
  5747. * When $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes is true, all itemtypes are allowed, not just
  5748. the three that were defined in the original specification.
  5749. * (bug 14706) Added support for the Imagick PHP extension.
  5750. * (bug 18691) Added support for SVG rasterization using the Imagick PHP
  5751. extension.
  5752. * (bug 2581, bug 6834) Added links to thumbnail in several resolutions to the
  5753. file description page. The sizes are set by $wgImageLimits.
  5754. * (bug 28031) Add pageCount support to ArchivedFile.
  5755. * (bug 27924) PhpHttpRequest doesn't return response body if HTTP != 200.
  5756. * Added hook BitmapHandlerTransform to allow extension to transform a file
  5757. without overriding the entire handler.
  5758. * The parser now attempts to output markers for editsection tokens and defer the
  5759. rendering of them post-cache to reduce parser cache fragmentation and ensure
  5760. skin customizability of edit section links.
  5761. * (bug 24755) AuthPlugin auto-creation of local accounts can now be aborted by
  5762. other extensions by handling the 'AbortAutoAccount' hook, similar to the
  5763. 'AbortNewAccount' triggered by explicit account creations. (They are separate
  5764. to avoid loops and confusion; auth plugins like CentralAuth need to handle
  5765. AbortNewAccount separately.
  5766. * Special:ListFiles is now transcludable.

  6285. == MediaWiki 1.17.5 ==
  6286. 2012-06-12
  6287. This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.17 branch.
  6288. === Summary of selected changes in 1.17 ===
  6289. Selected changes since MediaWiki 1.16 that may be of interest:
  6290. * A new installer has been introduced. It has a wizard-style interface which is
  6291. translated into many languages. Many shortcomings in the old installer were
  6292. addressed with this rewrite. Note that it is no longer required for the config
  6293. directory to be made writable by the webserver. Instead the generated
  6294. LocalSettings.php file is offered as a download, which you must then upload
  6295. to the wiki's base directory.
  6296. * ResourceLoader, a new framework for delivering client-side resources such as
  6297. JavaScript and CSS, has been introduced. These resources are now delivered
  6298. through the new entry point script "load.php", instead of as static files
  6299. served directly by the web server. This allows minification, compression and
  6300. client-side caching to be used more effectively, which should provide a net
  6301. performance improvement for most users.
  6302. * Category sorting has been improved.
  6303. ** Sorting is now case insensitive.
  6304. ** Sub-categories, pages and files can now be paged separately.
  6305. ** When several pages are given the same sort key, they sort by their
  6306. names instead of randomly.
  6307. * The lowest supported version of PHP is now 5.2.3. If necessary, please
  6308. upgrade PHP prior to upgrading MediaWiki.
  6309. === Changes since 1.17.4 ===
  6310. * (bug 36938) Correctly escape uselang attribute to prevent xss
  6311. * Expanded Blacklist for SVG Files

  6316. on line 598.
  6317. === Changes since 1.17.2 ===
  6318. * (bug 22555) Remove or skip strip markers from tag hooks like &lt;nowiki&gt; in

  6320. * (bug 34212) ApiBlock/ApiUnblock allow action to take place without a token
  6321. parameter present.
  6322. * (bug 34907) Fixed exposure of tokens through load.php that could have facilitated
  6323. CSRF attacks.
  6324. * (bug 35317) CSRF in Special:Upload.
  6325. === Changes since 1.17.1 ===
  6326. * (bug 33117) prop=revisions allows deleted text to be exposed through cache pollution.

  6331. client-side scripts on WebKit-based browsers.
  6332. * Fixed a bug in message transformation where the previous language could leak
  6333. into later transformations in the UI language.
  6334. * (bug 29091) Fixed form of native name for Ossetic language (Иронау -> Ирон)
  6335. * Fixed maintenance scripts upgrade1_5.php and rebuildImages.php, they did not
  6336. work at all since 1.17 beta 1.
  6337. * (bug 29531) Fixed img_auth.php for thumbnails and other filenames with
  6338. multiple dots, was broken by the fix for bug 28840.
  6339. * In the maintenance script purgeList.php, fixed a fatal error when a page
  6340. title is given, instead of a URL.
  6341. * (bug 19514) Unordered list list-style-image should be IE6-compatible (8-bit).
  6342. * Installer checked for magic_quotes_runtime instead of register_globals.

  6344. wide pano/timeline/diagram SVGs renderable at saner sizes.
  6345. * (bug 29959) Installer fatal when cURL and allow_url_fopen is disabled and user
  6346. tries to subscribe to mediawiki-announce.

  6353. warnings/notices to be thrown
  6354. * (bug 30907) Special:Unusedcategories should sort ascendingly.
  6355. * (bug 30219) The page shown when LocalSettings.php does not exist was broken on
  6356. Windows servers.
  6357. * Hardcoded NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS for Oracle DB to prevent type conversion errors.
  6358. * Fixed recentchanges FK violation on page delete and cache purge error in updater
  6359. for Oracle DB.
  6360. * (bug 32276) Skins were generating output using the internal page title which
  6361. would allow anonymous users to determine whether a page exists, potentially
  6362. leaking private data. In fact, the curid and oldid request parameters would
  6363. allow page titles to be enumerated even when they are not guessable.
  6364. * (bug 32616) action=ajax requests were dispatched to the relevant internal
  6365. functions without any read permission checks being done. This could lead to
  6366. data leakage on private wikis.

  6376. redirect.
  6377. * (bug 29408) Fixed uploads of files with MIME types that aren't detected by
  6378. MediaWiki.
  6379. * Removed DEFAULT '' NOT NULL field definitions from Oracle DB schema because
  6380. using the DEFAULT value ('') in DML broke Oracle backend as it treats an
  6381. empty VARCHAR2 value as NULL. Indexes on Oracle do not require NOT NULL
  6382. fields.
  6383. === Changes since 1.17 beta 1 ===
  6384. * Fixed warning about missing file "password.js".
  6385. * When installing on MySQL, don't attempt to create a new database user if the
  6386. same user is used for installation and web access.
  6387. * Fixed SQL query errors in queries with table aliases.
  6388. * (bug 27891) Fixed the "chronology protector", broken since 1.17beta1, which

  6391. * (bug 28845) Allow PostgreSQL installation using a non-root user account which

  6401. * In the installer, fixed the "user rights profile" option, it never worked.
  6402. * (bug 29117) Fixed Hebrew localisation of the installer.
  6403. * (bug 28840) Reduce the collateral damage caused by the fix for bug 28235 (XSS
  6404. on Internet Explorer 6 due to a file extension in the query string) by

  6435. * (bug 28162) When installing to PostgreSQL, respect the "database port" input,
  6436. it was ignored.

  6455. * $wgVectorExtraStyles was removed, and is no longer in use.
  6456. * Removed $wgUpdates for database updates; extensions should use
  6457. DatabaseUpdater::addExtensionUpdate() via the LoadExtensionSchemaUpdates hook.

  6461. * It's no longer necessary to set $wgCacheEpoch to the file modification time

  6463. automatically if $wgInvalidateCacheOnLocalSettingsChange is true (which is
  6464. the default).
  6465. * $wgCopyrightIcon is deprecated and $wgFooterIcons['copyright']['copyright']
  6466. should be used instead.
  6467. * $wgSysopUserBans is deprecated, and will be made permanently true in 1.18.

  7117. which was already effectively treating the namespace as if it had subpages.
  7118. * Oracle: maintenance/ora/user.sql script for creating DB user on oracle with
  7119. appropriate privileges. Creating this user with web-install page requires

  7154. CIDR ranges for blocking
  7155. * $wgUseInstantCommons added for quick and easy enabling of Commons as a remote
  7156. file repository
  7157. * $wgDBAhandler added to choose a DBA handler when using CACHE_DBA
  7158. * $wgPreviewOnOpenNamespaces for extensions that create namespaces that behave
  7159. similarly to the category namespace.
  7160. * $wgEnableSorbs renamed to $wgDnsBlacklistUrls ($wgEnableSorbs kept for
  7161. backward compatibility)
  7162. * $wgUploadNavigationUrl now also affects inline images that do not
  7163. exist. In that case the URL will get (?|&)wpDestFile=<filename> appended to
  7164. it as appropriate.
  7165. * If $wgLocaltimezone is null, use the server's timezone as the default for
  7166. signatures. This was always the behavior documented in DefaultSettings.php
  7167. but has not been the actual behavior for some time: instead, UTC was used
  7168. by default.
  7169. * Added $wgExtensionAssetsPath, to decouple assets serving from $wgScriptPath.
  7170. If not specified it will default to $wgScriptPath/extensions
  7171. * Added $wgCountTotalSearchHits to make search UI display total number of hits
  7172. with some search engines.
  7173. * Added $wgAdvertisedFeedTypes to decide what feed types (RSS, Atom, both, or

  7176. * Added $wgMemCachedTimeout, controls how long to wait for data from the
  7177. memcached servers.
  7178. * New configuration variables $wgDebugTimestamps and $wgDebugPrintHttpHeaders

  7230. the DBA extension is not available.
  7231. * Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around
  7232. fast fetches of individual messages, minimising memory overhead and startup

  8294. === Languages updated in 1.15 ===

  8296. regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
  8297. changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
  8298. * Austrian German (de-at) (new)
  8299. * Swiss Standard German (de-ch) (new)
  8300. * Simplified Gan Chinese (gan-hans) (new)
  8301. * Traditional Gan Chinese (gan-hant) (new)

  8313. == MediaWiki 1.14 ==
  8314. === Configuration changes in 1.14 ===
  8315. * $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl is an array of namespaces to be exempt from
  8316. the effect of the new __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words. (Default: null, ex-
  8317. empt all content namespaces.)
  8318. * $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4
  8319. has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
  8320. * (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either
  8321. $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent
  8322. Changes feed that appears on all pages.
  8323. * $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for
  8324. SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from
  8325. $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki.
  8326. * $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like
  8327. $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified
  8328. group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves.
  8329. Backwards compatibility is maintained.
  8330. * $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic
  8331. word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This
  8332. is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title.
  8333. * $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions.
  8334. * $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead.
  8335. * Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people
  8336. with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection
  8337. is not required.
  8338. * $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings.
  8339. * Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image
  8340. whitelist on or off.
  8341. * Added $wgRenderHashAppend to append some string to the parser cache and the
  8342. sitenotice cache keys.
  8343. * $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold is now a positive integer by default,
  8344. * (bug 16006) $wgEnableWriteAPI is now true by default. Authorized can perform
  8345. write actions using the API.
  8346. * Added $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix which adds an interwiki prefix
  8347. ($wgLocalInterwiki) onto the page names in the UDP feed.
  8348. * Added $wgAllowUserSkin to let the wiki's owner disable user selectable skins
  8349. on the wiki. If it's set to false, then the skin used will *always* be
  8350. $wgDefaultSkin.
  8351. * Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based
  8352. on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username)
  8353. * Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in
  8354. ForeignAPIRepo)
  8355. * (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File.
  8356. For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may
  8357. need to be updated.
  8358. * The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and
  8359. NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility,
  8360. and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older.
  8361. * MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by
  8362. using $wgUsePrivateIPs.
  8363. * The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in
  8364. Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions
  8365. to customize the watchlist database query.
  8366. === Migrated extensions ===
  8367. The following extensions are migrated into MediaWiki 1.14:
  8368. * Special:DeletedContributions to show deleted user contributions (was
  8369. extension DeletedContributions)
  8370. * Special:Log/newusers recording new users (was extension Newuserlog)
  8371. * Special:LinkSearch to search for external links (was extension LinkSearch)
  8372. * RenderHash
  8373. * NoMoveUserPages
  8374. * UniversalEditButton
  8375. === New features in 1.14 ===
  8376. * New URL syntaxes for Special:ListUsers - 'Special:ListUsers/USER' and
  8377. 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP/USER', in addition to the older syntax
  8378. 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP' where GROUP is a valid group name.
  8379. * Configurable per-namespace and per-page notices for the edit form,
  8380. respectively MediaWiki:Editnotice-# where # is the namespace number, and
  8381. MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-PAGENAME where # is the page's namespace number and
  8382. PAGENAME is the page name minus the namespace prefix.
  8383. * (bug 8068) New __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ magic words allow user control of
  8384. search engine indexing on a per-article basis.
  8385. * Handheld stylesheet options
  8386. * Added 'DoEditSectionLink' hook as a cleaner unified version of the old
  8387. 'EditSectionLink' and 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hooks. Note that the
  8388. 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is
  8389. run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work
  8390. if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain).

  8881. == MediaWiki 1.13 ==
  8882. == Changes since 1.13.2 ==
  8883. David Remahl of Apple's Product Security team has identified a number of
  8884. security issues in previous releases of MediaWiki. Subsequent analysis by the
  8885. MediaWiki development team expanded the scope of these vulnerabilities. The
  8886. issues with a significant impact are as follows:
  8887. * An XSS vulnerability affecting all MediaWiki installations between 1.13.0 and
  8888. 1.13.2. [CVE-2008-5249]
  8889. * A local script injection vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer clients for
  8890. all MediaWiki installations with uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250]
  8891. * A local script injection vulnerability affecting clients with SVG scripting
  8892. capability (such as Firefox 1.5+), for all MediaWiki installations with SVG
  8893. uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250]
  8894. * A CSRF vulnerability affecting the Special:Import feature, for all MediaWiki
  8895. installations since the feature was introduced in 1.3.0. [CVE-2008-5252]
  8896. XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to steal an
  8897. authorised user's login session, and to act as that user on the wiki. The
  8898. authorised user must visit a web page controlled by the attacker in order to
  8899. activate the attack. Intranet wikis are vulnerable if the attacker can
  8900. determine the intranet URL.
  8901. Local script injection vulnerabilities are like XSS vulnerabilities, except
  8902. that the attacker must have an account on the local wiki, and there is no
  8903. external site involved. The attacker uploads a script to the wiki, which another
  8904. user is tricked into executing, with the effect that the attacker is able to act
  8905. as the privileged user.
  8906. CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to act as an authorised user on the wiki,
  8907. but unlike an XSS vulnerability, the attacker can only act as the user in a
  8908. specific and restricted way. The present CSRF vulnerability allows pages to be
  8909. edited, with forged revision histories. Like an XSS vulnerability, the
  8910. authorised user must visit the malicious web page to activate the attack.
  8911. These four vulnerabilities are all fixed in this release.
  8912. David Remahl also reminded us of some security-related configuration issues:
  8913. * By default, MediaWiki stores a backup of deleted images in the images/deleted
  8914. directory. If you do not want these images to be publically accessible, make
  8915. sure this directory is not accessible from the web. MediaWiki takes some steps
  8916. to avoid leaking these images, but these measures are not perfect.
  8917. * Set display_errors=off in your php.ini to avoid path disclosure via PHP fatal
  8918. errors. This is the default on most shared web hosts.
  8919. * Enabling MediaWiki's debugging features, such as $wgShowExceptionDetails, may
  8920. lead to path disclosure.
  8921. Other changes in this release:
  8922. * Avoid fatal error in profileinfo.php when not configured.
  8923. * Add a .htaccess to deleted images directory for additional protection against
  8924. exposure of deleted files with known SHA-1 hashes on default installations.
  8925. * Avoid streaming uploaded files to the user via index.php. This allows
  8926. security-conscious users to serve uploaded files via a different domain, and
  8927. thus client-side scripts executed from that domain cannot access the login
  8928. cookies. Affects Special:Undelete, img_auth.php and thumb.php.
  8929. * When streaming files via index.php, use the MIME type detected from the
  8930. file extension, not from the data. This reduces the XSS attack surface.
  8931. * Blacklist redirects via Special:Filepath. Such redirects exacerbate any
  8932. XSS vulnerabilities involving uploads of files containing scripts.
  8933. * Internationalisation updates.
  8934. == Changes since 1.13.1 ==
  8935. * Security: Work around misconfiguration by requiring strict comparisons for
  8936. in_array in User::isAllowed().
  8937. * (bug 14944) Added $wgShellLocale for configuration of an appropriate locale
  8938. to use for LC_CTYPE during shell invocation. For servers that don't have
  8939. en_US.utf8. Also added locale detection during install.
  8940. * Localisation updates
  8941. * Security: Fixed XSS vulnerability in useskin parameter.
  8942. == Changes since 1.13.0 ==
  8943. * (bug 15460) Fixed intermittent deadlock errors and poor concurrent
  8944. performance for installations without memcached.
  8945. * (bug 13770) Fixed DOM module detection for installations with both dom
  8946. and domxml.
  8947. * (bug 15148) Fixed Special:BlockIP for PostgreSQL
  8948. * Fixed SQLite support for non-memcached installations
  8949. * Localisation updates, Achinese (ace) added.
  8950. == Changes since 1.13.0rc2 ==
  8951. * (bug 13770) Fixed incorrect detection of PHP's DOM module
  8952. * Fix regression from r37834: accesskey tooltip hint should be given for the
  8953. minor edit and watch labels on the edit page.
  8954. * Updated Chinese simplified/traditional conversion tables
  8955. == Changes since 1.13.0rc1 ==
  8956. * $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4
  8957. has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
  8958. * (bug 14907) DatabasePostgres::fieldType now defined.
  8959. * (bug 14966) Fix SearchEngineDummy class for silently non-functional search
  8960. on Sqlite instead of horribly fatal error breaky one.
  8961. * (bug 14987) Only fix double redirects on page move when the checkbox is
  8962. checked
  8963. * (bug 13376) Use $wgPasswordSender, not $wgEmergencyContact, as return
  8964. address for page update notification mails.
  8965. * API: Registration time of users registered before the DB field was created is now
  8966. shown as empty instead of the current time.
  8967. * (bug 14904): fragments were lost when redirects were fixed.
  8968. * Added magic word __STATICREDIRECT__ to suppress the redirect fixer
  8969. * (bug 15035) Revert English linkTrail to /^([a-z]+)(.*)$/sD, as it was before
  8970. r36253. Multiple reports of breakage due to old (pre-5.0) PCRE libraries,
  8971. both bundled with PHP and packaged with distros such as RHEL.
  8972. * (bug 14944) Shell invocation of external programs such as ImageMagick convert
  8973. was broken in PHP 5.2.6, if the server had a non-UTF-8 locale.
  8974. === Configuration changes in 1.13 ===
  8975. * New option $wgFeed can be set false to turn off syndication feeds

  8985. * Removed the emailconfirmed implicit group by default. To re-add it, use:
  8986. $wgAutopromote['emailconfirmed'] = APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED;
  8987. in your LocalSettings.php.
  8988. * (bug 2396) New shared database configuration variables. $wgSharedPrefix allows
  8989. you to use a shared database with a different prefix. Or you can now use a local
  8990. database and use prefixes to separate wiki and the shared tables. And the new
  8991. $wgSharedTables variable allows you to specify a list of tables to share.
  8992. * Automatic edit summaries can be disabled with $wgUseAutomaticEditSummaries
  8993. * Duplicates of images are now shown on the image page
  8994. * $wgRCFilterByAge allows for the list of dates in recent changes special pages to

  9005. a certain number of days to be considered active
  9006. * $wgActiveUserDays is that number of days
  9007. * $wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups has been deprecated in favor of
  9008. $wgGroupPermissions[]['noratelimit']. The former still works, however.
  9009. * New $wgGroupPermissions option 'move-subpages' added to control bulk-moving
  9010. subpages along with pages. Assigned to 'user' and 'sysop' by default.
  9011. * New $wgRC2UDPOmitBots allows user to omit bot edits from UDP output.
  9012. Default: false
  9013. * Removed $wgEnableCascadingProtection option. Disabling cascading protection

  9027. article page
  9028. * Do not show edit permissions errors on a red link click, just redirect to the

  9496. == MediaWiki 1.12 ==
  9497. This is the Winter 2007 quarterly release.
  9498. MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
  9499. quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
  9500. "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
  9501. Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
  9502. from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
  9503. will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
  9504. Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
  9505. it from source control: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
  9506. === Configuration changes in 1.12 ===
  9507. * Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the
  9508. markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used.
  9509. This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group.
  9510. * MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration
  9511. variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e.
  9512. to not check and assume they are always up to date)
  9513. * The rollback permission can now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism.
  9514. * New configuration variable $wgExtraLanguageNames
  9515. * Behavior of $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups changed. New behavior:
  9516. * * Granting the userrights privilege allows arbitrary changing of rights.
  9517. * * Without the userrights privilege, a user will be able to add and/or
  9518. remove the groups specified in $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups for
  9519. any groups they are in.
  9520. * New permission userrights-interwiki for changing user rights on foreign wikis.
  9521. * $wgImplicitGroups for groups that are hidden from Special:Listusers, etc.
  9522. * $wgAutopromote: automatically promote users who match specified criteria
  9523. * $wgGroupsAddToSelf, $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf: allow users to add or remove
  9524. themselves from specified groups via Special:Userrights.
  9525. * When $wgUseTidy has been enabled, PHP's Tidy module is now used if it is
  9526. present, in preference to an external Tidy executable which may or may not
  9527. be present. To force use of external Tidy even when the PHP module is
  9528. available, set $wgTidyInternal to false.
  9529. === New features in 1.12 ===
  9530. * (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload

  9542. create it
  9543. * Clarify instructions given when an exception is thrown
  9544. * AuthPlugin added strictUserAuth() method to allow per-user override
  9545. of the strict() authentication behavior.

  9547. against the previous revision, whether currently deleted or live.
  9548. * Added tooltips for the "Go" and "Search" buttons
  9549. * (bug 11649) Show input form when Special:Whatlinkshere has no parameters

  9551. stricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain
  9552. * Removed "Clear" link in watchlist editor tools, as people were afraid to

  9604. * Parser now returns list of sections
  9605. * When a user is prohibited from creating a page, a title of "View source"

  9880. == Parser changes in 1.12 ==
  9881. For help with migration to the MediaWiki 1.12 parser, please visit:
  9882. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_to_the_new_preprocessor
  9883. The parser pass order has changed from
  9884. * Extension tag strip and render
  9885. * HTML normalisation and security
  9886. * Template expansion
  9887. * Main section...
  9888. to
  9889. * Template and extension tag parse to intermediate representation
  9890. * Template expansion and extension rendering
  9891. * HTML normalisation and security
  9892. * Main section...
  9893. The main effect of this for the user is that the rules for uncovered syntax
  9894. have changed.
  9895. Uncovered main-pass syntax, such as HTML tags, are now generally valid, whereas
  9896. previously in some cases they were escaped. For example, you could have "<ta" in
  9897. one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a
  9898. valid <table> tag. Previously the result would have been "&lt;table&gt;".
  9899. Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you
  9900. have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be
  9901. converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This
  9902. was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in
  9903. the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion
  9904. will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template
  9905. expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security
  9906. pass.
  9907. Bug 5678 has been fixed. This has a number of user-visible effects related to
  9908. the removal of this double-parse. Please see the wiki page for examples.
  9909. Message transformation mode has been removed, and replaced with "preprocess"
  9910. mode. This means that some MediaWiki namespace messages may need to be updated,
  9911. especially ones which took advantage of the terribly counterintuitive behavior
  9912. of the former message mode.
  9913. The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section
  9914. edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a
  9915. whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by
  9916. template expansion will still be rendered into a heading tag, and will get an
  9917. entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link. HTML-style headings
  9918. will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext headings present in the
  9919. template source text will get a template section edit link. This is a major
  9920. break from previous behavior, but I believe the effects are almost entirely
  9921. beneficial.
  9922. The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass
  9923. preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed
  9924. #switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a
  9925. significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from
  9926. Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement
  9927. by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration.
  9928. The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient
  9929. way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance
  9930. anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default
  9931. limit.
  9932. The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so
  9933. extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes.
  9934. The new preprocessor syntax has been documented in Backus-Naur Form at:
  9935. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF
  9936. The ExpandTemplates extension now has the ability to generate an XML parse
  9937. tree from wikitext source. This parse tree corresponds closely to the grammar
  9938. documented on that page.
  9939. === API changes in 1.12 ===
  9940. Full API documentation is available at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API
  9941. * (bug 11275) Enable descending sort in categorymembers
  9942. * (bug 11308) Allow the API to output the image metadata
  9943. * (bug 11296) Temporary fix for escaping of ampersands inside links in

  10016. == MediaWiki 1.11 ==
  10017. This is the Summer 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
  10018. MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
  10019. quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
  10020. "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
  10021. Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
  10022. from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
  10023. will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
  10024. Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
  10025. it from source control: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
  10026. == Configuration changes since 1.10 ==
  10027. * $wgThumbUpright - Adjust width of upright images when parameter 'upright' is
  10028. used
  10029. * $wgAddGroups, $wgRemoveGroups - Finer control over who can assign which
  10030. usergroups
  10031. * $wgEnotifImpersonal, $wgEnotifUseJobQ - Bulk mail options for large sites
  10032. * $wgShowHostnames - Expose server host names through the API and HTML comments
  10033. * $wgSaveDeletedFiles has been removed, the feature is now enabled unconditionally
  10034. == New features since 1.10 ==
  10035. * (bug 8868) Separate "blocked" message for autoblocks

  10046. related to landscape images on a page without nailing the width of upright
  10047. images to a fix value which makes views for anon unproportional and user
  10048. preferences useless
  10049. * (bug 6072) Introducing 'border' keyword to the [[Image:]] syntax
  10050. * Introducing 'frameless' keyword to [[Image:]] syntax which respects the

  10586. == MediaWiki 1.10 ==
  10587. This is the Spring 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
  10588. MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
  10589. quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
  10590. "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
  10591. Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
  10592. from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
  10593. will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
  10594. Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
  10595. it from source control: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
  10596. == Configuration changes ==
  10597. * A new switch $wgCommandLineDarkBg used by maintenance scripts (parserTests.php).
  10598. It lets you specify if your terminal use a dark background, the colorized
  10599. output will be made lighter making things easier to read.
  10600. * The minimum permissions needed to edit a page in each namespace can now be
  10601. customized via the $wgNamespaceProtection array. By default, editing pages in
  10602. the MediaWiki namespace requires "editinterface" permission, as before.
  10603. * Allow restriction of autoconfirmed permission by edit count. New global setting
  10604. $wgAutoConfirmCount (defaulting to zero, naturally).
  10605. * Added rate limiter for Special:Emailuser

  10607. * (Bug 8590) limited HTML is now always enabled ($wgUserHtml = true).

  10617. * Introduce "cascading protection" -- implicit protection on pages transcluded
  10618. into a page protected with this option enabled

  10642. * (bug 4133) Allow page protections to be made with an expiry date, in the same

  10826. which some inconsiderate browsers consider a license to autodetect
  10827. the deadly, hard-to-escape UTF-7.

  10860. slow for large strings, since it's used for page edit lengths
  10861. * (bug 8815) Setting password in initUser() breaks LdapAuthentication plugin
  10862. * (bug 9256) Add a quick note to index.php header comments

  10865. * Ignore lonely '''''
  10866. * (bug 9244) When calling edit page for nonexistent section, generate error
  10867. inside of just discarding edits, since edit links sometimes go to the wrong
  10868. place.
  10869. * (bug 9019) No warning during upload if image description page exists, but no
  10870. image

  11033. == Compatibility ==
  11034. MediaWiki 1.10 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
  11035. PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
  11036. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
  11037. Upgrade affected systems to PHP 5.1 or higher.
  11038. MySQL 3.23.x is no longer supported; some older hosts may need to upgrade.
  11039. At this time we still recommend 4.0, but 4.1/5.0 will work fine in most cases.
  11040. == Upgrading ==
  11041. 1.10 has several database changes since 1.9, and will not work without schema
  11042. updates.
  11043. If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
  11044. new database fields are filled with data.
  11045. If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
  11046. changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
  11047. break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
  11048. See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
  11049. = MediaWiki release notes =

  11162. because it doesn't make any sense for an IP. Additionally, IP blocks
  11163. without the ipb_enable_autoblock option no longer show up as "autoblock
  11164. disabled" on Special:Ipblocklist.
  11165. * (bug 7774) MATH: aded more amstex functions

  11186. with compression or legacy encoding

  11194. source this and pass --record option to parserTests.php
  11195. * Make the set of default parser test input files extensible via
  11196. $wgParserTestFiles. This can now be appended to by extensions or local
  11197. configuration files so that extension or custom tests can be automatically
  11198. run along with the main batch.
  11199. * Run PHP install version checks on update.php so command-line updaters see
  11200. new version requirements
  11201. * Do a check for the PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug, since this is much more disruptive
  11202. as of MW 1.8 than it used to be. Install or upgrade now aborts with a
  11203. warning and a request to upgrade.
  11204. * (bug 6440) Updated indexes to improve backlinking queries (links, templates, images)
  11205. * Switched 'anon-only' block mode to default for IP blocks
  11206. * (bug 3687, 7892) Add distinct heading for media files in category display,

  11215. * (bug 6873) When viewing old revisions, add link to diff to current version.
  11216. * (bug 3315) Provide rollback link directly on history page.
  11217. * Replace 'old-revision-navigation' message with 'revision-info' and
  11218. 'revision-nav' messages, wrapped in divs with appropriate id's.
  11219. * (bug 4178) MediaWiki:Common.js will now be included for all users if
  11220. $wgUseSiteJs is enabled, in addition to (if applicable) MediaWiki:Monobook.js
  11221. and user JS subpages.
  11222. * (bug 7918) "Templates used on this page" changes during preview to reflect
  11223. any added or removed templates, and works as expected for section edits.
  11224. * (bug 7919) "Templates used on this page" is now shown for read-only pages.
  11225. * (bug 7688) When viewing diff, section anchors in autosummary jump to section
  11226. on current page instead of loading the latest version.
  11227. * (bug 7970) Use current connection explicitly on Database::getServerVersion
  11228. * (bug 2001) Tables with class="sortable" can now be dynamically sorted via
  11229. JavaScript.
  11230. * Added autosummary for new pages with 500 or less characters, and refactor
  11231. the autosummary code so it's all done in one function. doEdit is getting too
  11232. big!
  11233. * (bug 7554) The correct MIME type for SVG images is now displayed on the
  11234. image page (image/svg+xml, not image/svg).
  11235. * (bug 7883) Added autoblock whitelisting feature, using which specific ranges
  11236. can be protected from autoblocking. These ranges are specified, in list format,
  11237. in the autoblock_whitelist system message.
  11238. * Added placeholders for text injection by hooks to EditPage.php
  11239. * (bug 8009) Automatic edit summary for redirects is not filled for edits in existing pages
  11240. * Installer support for experimental MySQL 4.1/5.0 binary-safe schema
  11241. * Use INSERT IGNORE for db-based BagOStuff add/insert, for more memcache-like
  11242. behavior when keys already exist on add (instead of dying with an error...)
  11243. * Add a hook 'UploadForm:initial' before the upload form is generated, and two
  11244. member variable for text injection into the form, which can be filled by the hooks.
  11245. * (bug 6295) Add a "revision patching" functionality, where an edit can be undone
  11246. (with a functionality similar to diff rev1 rev2 | patch -R rev3 -o rev3).
  11247. This is triggered by including &undo=revid in an edit URL. A link to a URL
  11248. that will undo a given edit is shown on NEW revision headers on diff pages.
  11249. The link leads to a "Show Changes" page showing what will be done to undo the
  11250. edit.
  11251. * Fix display of link in "already rolled back" message for image/category pages
  11252. * (bug 6016) Left-aligned images should stack vertically, like right-aligned
  11253. images, not horizontally.
  11254. * Patch from LeonWP: added UploadForm:BeforeProcessing hook in SpecialUpload.php
  11255. * Add AuthPluginSetup hook to override $wgAuth after configuration
  11256. * Fix regression in authentication hook auto-creation on login
  11257. * (bug 8110) Allow spaces in ISBNs
  11258. * (bug 8024) Introduce "send me copies of emails I send to others" preference
  11259. * Added 'EditPage::attemptSave' hook before an article is saved.
  11260. * (bug 8083) Applied patch for sk localisation
  11261. * Add a backslash character to the edit token, to prevent edits via certain
  11262. broken proxies that mangle such characters in form submissions
  11263. * (bug 7461) Allow overwriting pages using importTextFile.php
  11264. * (bug 7946) importTextFile.php doesn't perform pre-save transform
  11265. * (bug 8117) {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} showed weird default if $wgLocalTZoffset set;
  11266. now uses current time for previews and if timestamp can't be loaded from DB
  11267. * {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} now uses site local timezone instead of user timezone
  11268. to ensure consistent behavior
  11269. * {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} and friends should now work on non-MySQL backends
  11270. * (bug 7671) Observe canonical media namespace prefix in Linker::formatComment
  11271. * Added js variable wgCurRevisionId to the output
  11272. * (bug 8141) Cleanup of Parser::doTableStuff, patch by AzaTht
  11273. * (bug 8042) Make miser mode caching limits settable via $wgQueryCacheLimit
  11274. instead of hardcoding to 1000
  11275. * Enable QueryPage classes to override list formatting
  11276. * (bug 5485) Show number of intervening revisions in diff view
  11277. * (bug 8100) Fix XHTML validity in Taiwanese localization
  11278. * Added redirect to section feature. Use it wisely.
  11279. * Added a configuration variable allowing the "break out of framesets" feature
  11280. to be switched on and off ($wgBreakFrames). Off by default.
  11281. * Allow Xml::check() $attribs parameter to override 'value' attribute
  11282. * DB schema change: added two columns (rc_old_len and rc_new_len) to the recentchanges table to store
  11283. the text lengths before and after the edit
  11284. * (bug 1085) Made Special:Recentchanges show the character difference between the changed revisions
  11285. * Removed a redundant <strong> tag from diff pages that was causing display issues for some users
  11286. * (bug 8203) The keyboard shortcut for "log out" was removed, because users were pressing it
  11287. when they intended to press the shortcut for "preview".
  11288. * (bug 8148) Handle non-removable output buffers gracefully when cleaning
  11289. buffers for HTTP 304 responses, StreamFile, and Special:Export.
  11290. Duplicated code merged into wfResetOutputBuffers() and wfClearOutputBuffers()
  11291. * Special:AllPages : 'next page' link now point to the first title of the next
  11292. chunk instead of pointing to the last title of current chunk.
  11293. * (bug 4673) Special:AllPages : add a 'previous' link (new message 'prevpage')
  11294. * (bug 8121) wfRandom() was not between 0 and 1
  11295. * Add static method Parser::createAssocArgs($args), so parser functions can
  11296. use the same code to parse arguments as the templates do.
  11297. * Change behavior of logins using the temporary e-mailed password (as stored
  11298. in user_newpassword hash field). Instead of just logging in silently and
  11299. leaving the previous user_password field in place indefinitely, the user
  11300. is now prompted to set a new password.
  11301. The password-changing form is at Special:Resetpass; currently it's only
  11302. usable for changing from the temporary password during login, but it
  11303. could perhaps be generalized, replacing the subform in preferences.
  11304. Once the new password is set successfully, the temporary password is wiped
  11305. so it cannot be used to login a second time, and the login process
  11306. is completed.
  11307. * Suppress 'mail new password' button on login form if $wgAuth forbids
  11308. changing user passwords; it wouldn't work very well...
  11309. * Consolidate password length checks and $wgAuth manipulation into
  11310. User::setPassword() to avoid duplicate code in different places
  11311. that set passwords.
  11312. * User::setPassword() now throws PasswordError exceptions if the password
  11313. is illegal or cannot be set via $wgAuth. These can be caught and a human-
  11314. readable error message displayed by UI code.
  11315. * Added Title::isSubpage()
  11316. * (bug 8241) Don't consider user pages of User:Foo.css to be CSS subpages
  11317. * Set an explicit class on framed thumbnail inner divs and images, changed some
  11318. CSS to use these instead of using descendent selectors.
  11319. * Accept null parameter to User::setPassword() as indicating the password
  11320. field should be cleared to an unusable state. Login will only be possible
  11321. after the password is reset, for instance by e-mail.
  11322. * (bug 6394) Invalidate the password set for "by e-mail" account creations
  11323. to avoid accidental empty password creations.
  11324. * Made the show change size function work on page moves, page creations, and
  11325. log entries. Also fixed it in the javascript recentchanges.
  11326. * (bug 8239) correctly get 50 new contributions when clicking '(50 next)'
  11327. * (bug 2259) Fix old regression where e-mail addresses were no longer
  11328. confirmed on login with mailed password.
  11329. * Add a notification about the confirmation mail sent during account
  11330. creation, so people don't immediately go off to request a second one.
  11331. * Add a warning on Special:Confirmemail if a code was already sent and has
  11332. not yet expired.
  11333. * Add user_editcount field to provide data for heuristics on account use.
  11334. Incremented on edit, with lazy initialization from past revision data.
  11335. Can batch-initialize with maintenance/initEditCount.php (not yet friendly
  11336. to replication environments, this will do all accounts in one query).
  11337. * Allow raw SQL subsections in Database::update() SET portion as well as
  11338. for WHERE portion. Handy for increments and such.
  11339. * User::getOption now accept a default value to override default user values
  11340. this makes it consistent with WebRequest::get* methods. Corrected code in
  11341. various places accordingly.
  11342. * (bug 8264) Fix JavaScript global vars for XHTML mode
  11343. * Make $wgSiteNotice value wikitext again, for consistency with editable
  11344. MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice.
  11345. * (bug 8044) When redirecting from the canonical name of the special page
  11346. to the localised one, parameters/subpages are omitted
  11347. * (bug 8164) Special:Booksources should use GET for form submission
  11348. * Rewrite Special:Booksources to clean up interface and remove redundant code
  11349. * (bug 7925) Change Special:Allmessages message name filter javascript to be
  11350. a bit more responsive and easier on the CPU
  11351. * (bug 4488) Support watching pages on deletion; introduces new user preference
  11352. * Minor restructuring of Special:Preferences; "watch pages I edit" and "watch
  11353. pages I create" options now accessible under "Watchlist" options
  11354. * (bug 8153) <nowiki> doesn't work in site notice
  11355. * (bug 6690) wfMsgNoTrans() transforms messages
  11356. * (bug 8274) Wrap edit tools in a <div> with a specified class
  11357. * Detect PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug and abort in WebStart.php; too many things break
  11358. mysteriously otherwise (detection code copied from install-utils.inc)
  11359. * (bug 8295) Change handling of <center> tags in doBlockLevels() to match that
  11360. of <div>
  11361. * (bug 8110) Make magic ISBN linking stricter: only match ten-digit sequences
  11362. (plus optional ISBN-13 prefix) with no immediately following alphanumeric
  11363. character, disallow multiple consecutive internal redirects
  11364. * (bug 2785) Accept optional colon prefix in links when formatting comments
  11365. * Don't show "you can view and copy the source of this page" message for
  11366. pages which don't exist
  11367. * (bug 8310) Blank line added to top of 'post' when page is blank
  11368. * (bug 8109) Template parameters ignored in "recentchangestext"
  11369. * Gracefully skip redirect-to-fragment on WebKit versions less than 420;
  11370. it messes up on current versions of Safari but is ok in the latest
  11371. nightlies. Checking the version number will allow it to automatically
  11372. work when new releases of Safari appear.
  11373. * Fix regression in thumb styles; size and padding didn't match with
  11374. new arrangement.
  11375. * (bug 8333) Fix quick user data update on login password change on
  11376. replication database setups. User data is now pulled from master
  11377. instead of slave in User::loadFromDatabase, ensuring that it is
  11378. fresh and accurate when read and then saved back into cache.
  11379. This was breaking with the Special:Rename operation which
  11380. automatically logs the user in with the new password after changing
  11381. it; pulling from slave meant the record was often not the updated
  11382. one.
  11383. * (bug 8335) Set image width to the first valid parameter found.
  11384. * (bug 8350) Fix watchlist viewing bug when using Postgres.
  11385. * (bug 6603) When warning about invalid file extensions, output the bit
  11386. of the extension we actually checked
  11387. * (bug 7669) Drop defaults on BLOB/TEXT columns for better compatibility
  11388. with MySQL's strict mode, often enabled by the Windows installer.
  11389. The defaults are ignored anyway when strict mode is off...
  11390. * (bug 7685) Use explicit values for ar_text and ar_flags when deleting,
  11391. for better compatibility with MySQL's strict mode
  11392. * Update default interwiki values to reflect changed location of ursine:
  11393. * (bug 5411) Remove autopatrol preference
  11394. * Users who have the "autopatrol" permission will have their edits marked as
  11395. patrolled automatically
  11396. * Users who do not have the "autopatrol" permission will no longer be able
  11397. to mark their own edits as patrolled
  11398. * Introduce 'PingLimiter' hook; see docs/hooks.txt for more information
  11399. * (bug 532) Tweaked alt text for some interface messages
  11400. * (bug 8231) Gave useful alt text to the main <img> on image pages
  11401. * (bug 371) Remove alt text for "Enlarge" icon on thumbnails
  11402. * Initialize user_editcount to 0 instead of NULL for newly created accounts
  11403. * (bug 3696) Strip LRM and RLM characters from titles to work around the
  11404. problem some people have where titles cut-and-pasted from lists include
  11405. the bidi override characters appended to the lists.
  11406. A more thorough blacklist for forbidden and translatable characters would
  11407. be wise, though, as might a cleaner method for the lists in the first place.
  11408. * Fix regression in email password resets on read-restricted sites
  11409. * Set tabindex on fields in deletion form so you don't have to tab through
  11410. the links in the sitenotice
  11411. * (bug 8271) Show full time and date on viewer for individual deleted
  11412. revisions
  11413. * (bug 8214) Output file size limit and actual file size in appropriate units
  11414. on Special:Upload
  11415. * (bug 8016) Purge objectcache table during upgrade processes - use the --nopurge
  11416. option to prevent this when running maintenance/update.php
  11417. * (bug 7612) Remove superfluous link to Special:Categories from result items
  11418. on Special:Mostcategories
  11419. * {{PLURAL:}} now handles formatted numbers correctly
  11420. * (bug 8331) Added the change size value to watchlists; therefore made
  11421. watchlists use RecentChange::newFromRow() instead of newFromCurRow()
  11422. * (bug 8351) Fix undo for simple reverts
  11423. * (bug 6856) User::clearNotification() does not respect read-only mode
  11424. * (bug 6853) Use a checkbox on the installer form to indicate that a superuser
  11425. account should be used; this is clearer than the old check which relied on
  11426. the password never being an obscure value
  11427. * Remove old unused watchlist cache, which was a leftover from the old schema
  11428. where watchlists were more expensive to generate
  11429. * Minor cosmetic changes to Special:Userrights
  11430. * Added wgCanonicalSpecialPageName to JavaScript variables
  11431. * Fix image deleting when using Postgres.
  11432. * Output both source and destination titles in maintenance/moveBatch.php

  11435. * Prevent conversion of JavaScript code in language variants
  11436. * Output software version number in maintenance/parserTests.php
  11437. * (bug 7169) Use Ajax to watch/unwatch articles if enabled
  11438. * Make variant table caching a little more robust, using main language code
  11439. in cache key. Probably this is still a bit wonky, though. Was breaking
  11440. parser tests when Chinese tables were getting loaded into Serbian code.
  11441. * (bug 8380) Be nicer about blank lines in deleteBatch.php
  11442. * (bug 8401) Fix regression in SORBS lookup for some DNS setups
  11443. * Use raw file descriptor in posix_isatty() check to avoid warning on
  11444. Linux systems with at least some versions of PHP
  11445. * (bug 5908) Allow overriding the default category sort key for all items on
  11446. a page using {{DEFAULTSORT}}
  11447. * (bug 6449) Throw a more definitive error message when installation fails
  11448. due to an invalid database name
  11449. * (bug 5827) Use full text for option link labels on Special:Watchlist
  11450. * (bug 8018) Allow hiding minor edits from the watchlist
  11451. * (bug 8427) MonoBook RTL IE 7.0 tweaks failed when sidebar's navigation
  11452. section is renamed; no longer relies on first section name
  11453. * Stabilize client-side table sorting even if the underlying Javascript sort()
  11454. implementation is unstable
  11455. * Add hook for extensions to add user information to the panel in preferences,
  11456. next to the user name and ID.
  11457. * (bug 8392) Display protection status of transcluded pages in the edit page
  11458. template list. Patch by Fyren, with i18n naming tweak.
  11459. * Fix for interwiki transclusion where target wiki uses query string for title
  11460. * Resolve namespaces on interwiki Title objects using canonical namespace names
  11461. if possible (should not happen, though, outside interwiki transclusion... and
  11462. maybe not even then, but it does)
  11463. * (bug 8447) Fix SQL typo breaking non-default $wgHitcounterUpdateFreq
  11464. * Do not allow previews of deleted images to be cached
  11465. * Add global variable $wgDefaultLanguageVariant used to set the default language
  11466. variant of a wiki to something different than the main language code
  11467. * Add 'variant' option to parserTests - runs test with the given variant as
  11468. preferred, utilize it for more parser tests of language variants code
  11469. * (bug 6503) Fix bug that stopped certain irrelevant links from being hidden
  11470. for printing
  11471. * Avoid PHP warning in Creative Commons metadata when a creative commons
  11472. license is not actually set up
  11473. * (bug 8463) Don't print external link icons for Monobook
  11474. * (bug 8461) Support watching pages on move
  11475. * (bug 8041) Work around bug with debug_backtrace when Zend Optimizer is
  11476. loaded by skipping the function. Use wfDebugBacktrace() wrapper function.
  11477. * Reduce config file clutter by setting various script and upload paths
  11478. based on $IP or $wgScriptPath in Setup.php. They can still be explicitly
  11479. overridden in LocalSettings.php if desired...
  11480. * Attempt to detect redirect loops for the canonical title redirect, and
  11481. give some hints to the poor confused administrator.
  11482. * Introduce new flag 'R' - raw output for language variant escape tags
  11483. * Advise users when updates for a query page have been disabled using
  11484. $wgDisableQueryPageUpdate
  11485. * (bug 8413) Improve comments for $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies
  11486. * (bug 8330) Show "bytes" suffix on recent changes diff counter
  11487. optionally... if set in rc-changes-size message (default empty for now)

  11491. install. All default messages will be removed from the MediaWiki namespace
  11492. on upgrade.
  11493. * Recentchanges RSS/Atom feeds now use a separate message for the description
  11494. to avoid cluttering it with useless wiki formatting
  11495. * (bug 8417) Handle EXIF unknown dates
  11496. * (bug 8372) Return nothing on empty <math> tags.
  11497. * New maintenance script to show the cached statistics : showStats.php.
  11498. * Count deleted edits when regenerating total edits in maintenance/initStats.php
  11499. * (bug 3706) Allow users to be exempted from IP blocks. The ipblock-exempt permission
  11500. key has been added to enable this behavior, by default assigned to sysops.
  11501. * (bug 7948) importDump.php now warn that Recentchanges need to be rebuild.
  11502. * (bug 7667) allow XHTML namespaces customization
  11503. * (bug 8531) Correct local name of Lingála (patch by Raymond)
  11504. * Fix regression with default lock file and cache directories; threw visible
  11505. warning with open_basedir
  11506. == 1.8 Compatibility changes ==
  11507. === Zend Optimizer ===
  11508. A bug in some versions of PHP 5 and Zend Optimizer which was triggered under
  11509. MediaWiki 1.8.x has been worked around by disabling some internal debugging
  11510. features when Zend Optimizer is loaded. This should solve some common
  11511. "blank page" problems.
  11512. === PHP 5.0 64-bit ===
  11513. MediaWiki now checks for a condition where PHP 5.0.x corrupts array data
  11514. on 64-bit systems and warns you to upgrade PHP to solve the problem. This
  11515. bug causes Special: pages to fail on affected systems under MediaWiki 1.8
  11516. and higher, and subtler data corruption on earlier versions.
  11517. The only known workaround is to upgrade PHP to 5.1 or later, which you
  11518. probably should do anyway for security reasons!
  11519. === MySQL 5 ===
  11520. MediaWiki should now install and run correctly on MySQL 5.0 and higher when
  11521. MySQL's "strict mode" is enabled. (This is now the default for many Windows
  11522. installations, though it seems to remain off by default on Unix.)
  11523. This fixes errors about "cannot default default value for BLOB/TEXT fields".
  11524. === ImageMagick ===
  11525. Note that ImageMagick older than 6.x may no longer work for image resizing
  11526. due to use of the -thumbnail option.
  11527. == 1.8 Behavior changes ==
  11528. === Localized special pages ===
  11529. The names of Special: pages can now be localized, so links and URLs to them
  11530. are more legible in languages that aren't English.
  11531. Not all languages have included localized names yet.
  11532. === E-mail password ===
  11533. Users are now required to set a new password for themselves when they first
  11534. log in with a newly generated e-mailed password.
  11535. Requesting passwords frequently is prevented to reduce abusive mailbombing.
  11536. === Undo revision ===
  11537. An "undo" link now appears in diff view for easier reverting of older edits.
  11538. When GNU diff3 is available for edit conflict merging, this can make it much
  11539. easier to "undo" the changes of an older edit when there are surrounding
  11540. changes elsewhere in the page.
  11541. The changes must be manually reviewed and approved, as with conventional
  11542. full-revision reverts.
  11543. === Blocking ===
  11544. User blocks can be set to disable the automatic blocking of IP addresses the
  11545. account logs in with.
  11546. == 1.8 Database changes ==
  11547. * new 'redirect' table stores data on page redirects
  11548. * new 'querycachetwo' table used for some cached special pages
  11549. * 'ipblocks' table adds 'ipb_enable_autoblock'
  11550. * 'recentchanges' table adds 'rc_old_len', 'rc_new_len' for size tracking
  11551. * 'user' table has added 'user_newpass_time' and 'user_editcount' fields
  11552. * some indexes have been updated on 'recentchanges'
  11553. == 1.8 Configuration changes ==
  11554. Several configuration options have changed since 1.8:
  11555. === $wgEnableAPI ===
  11556. The experimental machine API interface is now enabled by default, read-only.
  11557. You can disable it by setting $wgEnableAPI = false; in LocalSettings.php.
  11558. === $wgPathInfo ===
  11559. The use of PATH_INFO (the text after the script name in 'index.php/Blah')
  11560. is controlled by the $wgUsePathInfo setting. This is now explicitly disabled
  11561. for CGI, apache2filter, and ISAPI configurations of PHP, for more consistency
  11562. with the autodetection from the installer.
  11563. In some rarer configurations you may have to switch $wgUsePathInfo from false
  11564. to true or, perhaps, from true to false to make things work properly if bad
  11565. PATH_INFO data comes through the server.
  11566. The wiki now tries to detect this condition and should show you an error
  11567. message describing what to change instead of sending the browser into an
  11568. infinite redirect loop.
  11569. === $wgScript and other path settings ===
  11570. The following configuration variables are now automatically set in Setup.php
  11571. if they are not overridden in LocalSettings.php:
  11572. from $wgScriptPath:
  11573. + $wgScript
  11574. | \- $wgArticlePath
  11575. + $wgRedirectScript
  11576. + $wgStylePath
  11577. + $wgUploadPath
  11578. \- $wgLogo
  11579. + $wgMathPath
  11580. from $IP:
  11581. - $wgStyleDirectory
  11582. + $wgUploadDirectory
  11583. \- $wgMathDirectory
  11584. + $wgTmpDirectory
  11585. Newly generated configuration files will by default include only $wgScriptPath
  11586. (hardcoded from the installer) and $IP (detected at runtime).
  11587. Old configuration files which specify all these values explicitly should
  11588. continue to work just fine, but if you use the defaults you can remove them
  11589. to reduce clutter.
  11590. === $wgGroupPermissions ===
  11591. The sysop group now holds the "autopatrol" and "ipblock-exempt" rights by
  11592. default.
  11593. "autopatrol" replaces the preference for marking ones own edits patrolled
  11594. by default; users holding this permission will automatically have their
  11595. edits patrolled, while others cannot mark their own edits as patrolled
  11596. even if they have patrolling rights.
  11597. "ipblock-exempt" excludes the user from IP blocks; accounts which are blocked
  11598. explicitly by name will still be blocked, however. This is given to sysops
  11599. to minimize annoyance from accidental "collateral damage"; remember that a
  11600. sysop will be able to lift the block if they desire.
  11601. The bot group now holds the "nominornewtalk" right. A user with this right
  11602. will not trigger new message notifications when making minor edits to user
  11603. talk pages. This is meant to minimize annoyance from maintenance bot
  11604. processes.
  11605. === $wgUseWatchlistCache ===
  11606. Watchlist caching has been removed. The feature was not maintained, and has
  11607. been unnecessary since switching to the 'recentchanges' database table
  11608. reduced server pressure for Wikipedia's watchlists.
  11609. === $wgBreakFrames ===
  11610. MediaWiki in the past attempted to detect when it was embedded in a frameset
  11611. and "break out" of it, assuming it to be hostile.
  11612. This behavior is now disabled by default, but can be reenabled by setting
  11613. $wgBreakFrames to true in LocalSettings.php.
  11614. == 1.8 New settings ==
  11615. === $wgVariantArticlePath ===
  11616. For languages with script variant support (Chinese, Serbian, and others),
  11617. it's possible to use alternate URL paths to select the variant for article
  11618. display, setting $wgVariantArticlePath.
  11619. Documentation for this setting would be useful.
  11620. === $wgMaxMsgCacheEntrySize ===
  11621. The message cache can now skip items larger than a given size; this allows
  11622. it to better handle the primary caching case when large CSS and JS blobs are
  11623. present.
  11624. === $wgStyleVersion ===
  11625. When making significant changes to skin stylesheets and JavaScript files,
  11626. you can append a string to this variable to tweak the generated URLs,
  11627. forcing newly rendered pages to bring in a fresh version despite server-
  11628. or browser-side caching.
  11629. Normally this will be set in the course of MediaWiki development, but
  11630. if doing development on a custom skin you may wish to poke it as well.
  11631. === $wgRCShowChangedSize ===
  11632. Special:Recentchanges and Special:Watchlist now show the number of bytes
  11633. added or removed to an article to give an idea of the size of the edit.
  11634. This information was previously available only in the IRC update feeds.
  11635. To disable this site-wide, set $wgRCShowChangedSize to false.
  11636. (Individual users can suppress the data in custom CSS.)
  11637. Adjust $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold to trigger highlighting of particularly
  11638. large changes.
  11639. The formatting of the size figure can be adjusted through the
  11640. [[MediaWiki:Rc-change-size]] message.
  11641. === $wgQueryCacheLimit ===
  11642. The number of rows stored for "expensive" special pages in miser mode
  11643. can now be adjusted up or down from the default 1000.
  11644. === $wgDisableQueryPageUpdate ===
  11645. Individual "expensive" special pages can be skipped in processing by
  11646. updateSpecialPages if added to this list.
  11647. === $wgSorbsUrl ===
  11648. The base hostname for the DNS-based proxy blacklist can now be overridden
  11649. when $wgEnableSorbs is set, to use a different blacklist instead of SORBS.
  11650. The blacklist would need to respond the same was as SORBS; any positive
  11651. response will be taken as a proxy.
  11652. === $wgAjaxWatch ===
  11653. Experimental AJAX mode for the watch/unwatch tabs to execute inline.
  11654. Does not include the UI messages describing how to reach the watchlist,
  11655. so you may not want it on a general-audience site just yet.
  11656. === $wgParserTestFiles ===
  11657. MediaWiki's parser test suite can now be expanded with additional test
  11658. files. Custom extensions can add their test files to this array, and
  11659. they will be run along with the main tests by maintenance/parserTests.php
  11660. == Changes since 1.7 ==
  11661. * Introduced AjaxResponse object, superceding AjaxCachePolicy
  11662. * Changes to sajax_do_call: optionally accept an element to fill instead of a
  11663. callback function; take the target function or element as a third parameter;
  11664. pass the full XMLHttpRequest object to the handler function, instead of just
  11665. the resultText value; use HTTP response codes to report errors.
  11666. * (bug 6562) Removed unmaintained ParserXml.php for now
  11667. * History paging overlap bug fixed
  11668. * (bug 6586) Regression in "unblocked" subtitle
  11669. * Don't put empty-page message into view-source when page text is blank
  11670. * (bug 6587) Remove redundant "allnonarticles" message
  11671. * Block improvements: Allow blocks on anonymous users only. Optionally allow
  11672. or disallow account creation from blocked IP addresses. Prevent duplicate
  11673. blocks. Fixed the problem of expiry and unblocking erroneously affecting
  11674. multiple blocks. Fixed confusing lack of error message when a blocked user
  11675. attempts to create an account. Fixed inefficiency of Special:Ipblocklist in
  11676. the presence of large numbers of blocks; added indexes and implemented an
  11677. indexed pager.
  11678. * (bug 6448) Allow filtering of Special:Newpages according to username
  11679. * (bug 6618) Improve permissions/error detection in Special:Lockdb
  11680. * Quick hack for extension testing: parser test doesn't create new message
  11681. cache object.
  11682. * (bug 6299) Maintain parser's revision ID across recursive calls to fix
  11683. {{REVISIONID}} when Cite extension is used
  11684. * (bug 6622) Removed deprecated function Image::newFromTitle
  11685. * (bug 6627) Fix regression in Special:Ipblocklist with table prefix
  11686. * Removed forced dereferencements (new() returns a reference in PHP5)
  11687. * Note about $wgUploadSizeWarning using byte
  11688. * (bug 6592) Add most viewed pages summary to Special:Statistics
  11689. * Pre-strip characters ignored in IDNs from URLs so they can't be used
  11690. to break the blacklists for regular URLs
  11691. * Fix regression in blocking of user accounts
  11692. * (bug 6635) Fix regression searching for range blocks on Ipblocklist
  11693. * Fix regression searching Ipblocklist with ugly URLs
  11694. * (bug 6639) Use a consistent default for upload directories
  11695. * Preserve entered reason when reporting unconfirmed lock on Special:Lockdb
  11696. * (bug 6642) Don't offer to unlock the database when it isn't locked
  11697. * cleanupTitles.php changed from --dry-run option to --fix, so default
  11698. behavior is now a non-invasive check as with namespaceDupes.php
  11699. * (bug 6660) Fix behavior of EditPage::blockedPage() when the article does
  11700. not exist; now doesn't show the source box if the user hasn't provided it
  11701. (blocked mid-edit) and the page doesn't exist
  11702. * Improve default value of "blockedtext"
  11703. * (bug 6680) Added localisation for Dutch bookstore list (nl)
  11704. * Renamed maintainace script redundanttrans.php to unusedMessages.php - clearer usage
  11705. * Fix regression which allowed some blocked users to create additional accounts
  11706. * (bug 6657) Fix Hungarian linktrail
  11707. * (bug 6751) Fix preview of blanked section with edit on first preview option
  11708. * (bug 5456) Separate MediaWiki:Search into messages for both noun and verb,
  11709. introduced 'MediaWiki:Searchbutton'
  11710. * Made lines from initialiseMessages() appear as list items during installation
  11711. * Moved the bulk of the localisation data from the Language*.php files to the
  11712. Messages*.php files. Deleted most of the Languages*.php files.
  11713. * Introduced "stub global" framework to provide deferred initialisation of core
  11714. modules.
  11715. * Removed placeholder values for $wgTitle and $wgArticle, these variables will
  11716. now be null during the initialisation process, until they are set by index.php
  11717. or another entry point.
  11718. * Added DBA cache type, for BDB-style caches.
  11719. * Removed custom date format functions, replacing them with a format string in
  11720. the style of PHP's date(). Used string identifiers instead of integer
  11721. identifiers, in both the language files and user preferences. Migration should
  11722. be transparent in most cases.
  11723. * Simplified the initialisation API for LoadBalancer objects.
  11724. * Removed the broken altencoding feature.
  11725. * Moved default user options and toggles from Language to User. Language objects
  11726. are still able to define default preference overrides and extra user toggles,
  11727. via a slightly different interface.
  11728. * Don't include the date option in the parser cache rendering hash unless
  11729. $wgUseDynamicDates is enabled.
  11730. * Merged LanguageUtf8 with Language. Removed LanguageUtf8.php.
  11731. * Removed inclusion of language files from the bottom of Language.php. This is
  11732. now consistently done from Language::factory().
  11733. * Add the name of the executing maintenance script to the debug log. Start the
  11734. profiler during maintenance scripts.
  11735. * Added "serialized" directory, for storing precompiled data in serialized form.
  11736. * Fix regression in auto-set NS_PROJECT_TALK namespace
  11737. * Fix regression in ordering of namespaces
  11738. * (bug 6806, 6030) Added several global JS variables for article path, user name,
  11739. page title, etc.
  11740. * hooks registered with addOnloadHook are now called at the one of the html body
  11741. by all skins.
  11742. * Split ajax aided search from core ajax framework. Use wgUseAjax to enable the
  11743. framework and wgAjaxSearch to enable the suggest feature for the search box.
  11744. * Added experimental installer for extensions.
  11745. See maintenance/installExtension.php
  11746. * Added Tajic (tg) language file.
  11747. * (bug 6903) Added Cantonese localisation (zh-yue)
  11748. * Fix regression in Korean and Japanese date formatting (day of week)
  11749. * (bug 6919) Add English alias magic words for Tatar (tt) language file.
  11750. * (bug 6753) Fixed broken Kazakh linktrail (kk)

  11752. * (bug 6827) some i18n specific maintenance scripts fails after merge of localisation-work branch
  11753. * Throwed an exception for the deprecated functions OutputPage::sysopRequired and
  11754. OutputPage::developerRequired - use OutputPage::permissionRequired instead.
  11755. * Removed the deprecated functions User::isSysop, User::isBureaucrat and User::isDeveloper -
  11756. use User::isAllowed instead.
  11757. * (bug 769) OutputPage::permissionRequired() should suggest groups with the needed permission
  11758. * (bug 6971) Fix regression in Special:Export history view
  11759. * Revamped Special:Imagelist
  11760. * (bug 7000) updated MessagesPl.php
  11761. * (bug 6946) Fix unexpected behavior change with GET hits to Special:Export
  11762. * (bug 1866) Improve navigation on Special:Listusers; user now a starting
  11763. point as with Special:Allpages, rather than a pure limit.
  11764. * Clean up tab order on Special:Blockip
  11765. * (bug 5969) Clean up tab order on Special:Userlogin forms
  11766. * (bug 3512) namespaceDupes now handles spaces and initial caps properly
  11767. * (bug 7037) Fix regression in login tab order
  11768. * (bug 7031) Report missing email on 'email password' instead of false success
  11769. * (bug 7010) Don't send email notifications for watched talk pages when user

  12334. (XHTML 1.0 Transitional), while the replacement didn't catch all cases and
  12335. could even result in invalid output from valid input.
  12336. * (bug 4280) Use 'noindex,nofollow' instead of 'noindex,follow' for default

  12370. could cause funny timeout behavior as the Content-Length was wrong.
  12371. * Return correct content-type header with 304 responses for StreamFile;
  12372. it confuses Safari if you let it return "text/html".

  13079. Redirects are now followed from the top-level, outside of the Article
  13080. content loading and viewing, for clarity and consistency.
  13081. * (bug 4104) 'OutputPageBeforeHTML' hook to postprocess article HTML on
  13082. page view (comes after parser cache, if used). Patch by ThomasV.
  13083. * Linker::formatComment corrupted the passed title object on PHP 5
  13084. if the comment included a section link. Use clone() to make a safe copy.
  13085. * Add wfClone() wrapper since we're still using PHP 4 on some servers.
  13086. * Remove obsolete killthread.php
  13087. * Added wfDie() wrapper, and some manual die(-1), to force the return code
  13088. to the shell to return nonzero when we crap out with an error.
  13089. * Allow input of the stub from a compressed file instead of stdin
  13090. for dumpTextPass.php; easier to get errors back on the shell
  13091. * Added an attractive space on the namespace selector on contribs
  13092. * Move PHP 5-friendly XHTML doctype hack to Sanitizer, use for sig checks.
  13093. Fixes use of named entities in sigs on PHP 5

  13097. Patch by Zbigniew Braniecki.
  13098. * Add cache-safe alternate sitenotice for anonymous users. (MediaWiki:Anonnotice)
  13099. This is displayed instead of the regular sitenotice, if it exists. If not, the
  13100. regular sitenotice shows. If that doesn't exist, the value of $wgSiteNotice is used,
  13101. and if that's null, then nothing is shown.
  13102. * Spit the generated LocalSettings code out during the installer as an aid
  13103. to debugging issues. (Keep this?)
  13104. * Use __FILE__ to form path in new LocalSettings.php, so it stays accurate
  13105. when the directory is relocated for typical usage.
  13106. * Auto-update $wgCacheEpoch when LocalSettings.php changes on new installs.
  13107. For typical usage this will be a light burden and should reduce confusion
  13108. when the configuration is edited.
  13109. * Fix $wgCacheEpoch's effect on client-side caching.
  13110. * (bug 1122) gray out 'older revision' when viewing first article revision.
  13111. * Clearer message in DefaultSettings.php: edit LocalSettings.php instead
  13112. * MonoBook skin top link id changed from "contentTop" to "top" (shared with

  13115. * (bug 2108) Sort entries when using category browser
  13116. * (bug 2393) Fix MIME type for Atom feeds ( application/rss+atom )
  13117. * Add ".deps.php" include-file preloaders for some dynamically-loaded
  13118. language and skin classes. Should help with the broken base-class
  13119. problem under PHP 5 with APC as opcode cache. See details:
  13120. http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2006-January/033660.html
  13121. * Small changes to tabs in Monobook skin c/o Chris Ware
  13122. * (bug 4679) Work around buggy basename() function in PHP5, which breaks
  13123. uploads of files starting with multibyte characters on Linux.
  13124. wfBaseName() doesn't suffer this bug, and understands backslash on
  13125. both Unix and Windows.
  13126. * (bug 3603) headscripts variable not hooked up to MonoBook skin
  13127. * Allow local cdb-based interwiki cache

  13133. * (bug 4686) Fix regression where ?diff=0&oldid=0 caused fatal error on
  13134. pages with only one revision. Fixes message diff link on first edit.
  13135. * Fix dependence on hardcoded UNIQ_PREFIX in LanguageConverter.php
  13136. * Do not check lag on external storage servers
  13137. * Do not tidy interface messages (unless full tidy is set)
  13138. * Do not trust equality propagation and give more hints to MySQL
  13139. optimizer for revision fetches (avoids index scans)
  13140. * Use revision rate for ETA in dump generation; it tends to be more stable
  13141. than the per-page count for full-history dumps.
  13142. * Include timestamp in wfDebugLog breakouts
  13143. * (bug 4469) Namespace-specific notice to be displayed below site-notice
  13144. Edit messages like "MediaWiki:Namespacenotice-" plus namespace name

  13174. on Special:Undelete by default; show source, with an optional preview.
  13175. The revisions list no longer shows the latest text by default, so it can
  13176. still be operated if the text is hostile.
  13177. * (bug 5013) Check for existence on "return to" links
  13178. * Removed trailing whitespace on a bunch more messages.

  13200. * (bug 4838) Add relative oldids (prev, next, cur) for raw pages
  13201. Patch by Lupin

  13205. * (bug 5062) Width sometimes one pixel short when using maximum heights
  13206. * Purge thumbnails and metadata cache for action=purge on an image page

  13219. * Further work on rev_deleted; changed to a bitfield with several data-hiding
  13220. options. Not yet ready for production use; Special:Revisiondelete is
  13221. incomplete, and the flags are not preserved across page deletion/undeletion.
  13222. To try it; add the 'deleterevision' permission to a privileged group.
  13223. * (bug 5270) Fix broken linktrail for br, cv, fr, hr, nn, oc, ta, wa
  13224. * Add a clickable contribs link in user tool links (rc, watchlist, diff view)

  13257. ----
  13258. == MediaWiki 1.5.8 ==
  13259. March 26, 2006
  13260. MediaWiki 1.5.8 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
  13261. A bug in decoding of certain encoded links could allow injection of raw
  13262. HTML into page output; this could potentially lead to XSS attacks.
  13263. Some minor UI fixes were also made, see the change log at the bottom of
  13264. this file.
  13265. == MediaWiki 1.5.7 ==
  13266. March 2, 2006
  13267. MediaWiki 1.5.7 is a bugfix maintenance release.
  13268. Most importantly, a security issue in the installer has been fixed. The bug
  13269. affects new installations of 1.5.6 only. If the user specified the MySQL root
  13270. password, to allow the installer to create an unprivileged account, the
  13271. installer would not only create the new account but also change the root
  13272. password to be equal to the password of the new account.
  13273. Anyone affected by this bug will need to change the root password back
  13274. manually. For information about how to change passwords in MySQL please see:
  13275. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/passwords.html
  13276. This version includes fixes for compatibility with Internet Explorer 7
  13277. beta 2, and various other bugs; see the full changelog at the end of
  13278. the release notes.
  13279. == MediaWiki 1.5.6 ==
  13280. January 19, 2006
  13281. MediaWiki 1.5.6 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
  13282. A bug in edit comment formatting could send PHP into an infinite loop
  13283. if certain malformed links were included. In most installations, this
  13284. would cause the script to fail after PHP's 30-second failsafe timeout.
  13285. Some improvements have been made to the installer which should make
  13286. installation possible on a system with a broken MySQL "root" account.
  13287. For several other minor fixes, see the complete changelog at the end
  13288. of this file.
  13289. == MediaWiki 1.5.5 ==
  13290. January 5, 2006
  13291. MediaWiki 1.5.5 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
  13292. Detection for uploads of Windows Metafile (.wmf) images has been added
  13293. to help protect against a client-side vulnerability in unpatched Microsoft
  13294. Windows operating systems.
  13295. Sites which have enabled uploads and added non-standard file types
  13296. (such as .ogg, .doc, or .pdf) should upgrade to this release to ensure
  13297. that malicious .wmf files can't be uploaded with a fake extension;
  13298. such files could put visitors to the site at risk.
  13299. For more details on this, see:
  13300. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile_vulnerability
  13301. Additionally, a maintenance script removeUnusedAccounts.php has been added;
  13302. this replaces an older Perl script which had not been updated for the new
  13303. schema in 1.5.
  13304. == MediaWiki 1.5.4 ==
  13305. December 21, 2005
  13306. MediaWiki 1.5.4 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
  13307. A hardcoded internal placeholder string has been replaced with a random
  13308. one. This closes a hole where security checks in inline style attributes
  13309. could be bypassed, injecting JavaScript code that could execute in
  13310. Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  13311. Other browsers would not be vulnerable.
  13312. Several minor fixes are included in this release, most notably a fix
  13313. to clear the "you have new messages" flag properly for usernames
  13314. containing spaces when e-mail notification is enabled.
  13315. See the changelog at the end of the release notes for a full list of
  13316. fixes.
  13317. == MediaWiki 1.5.3 ==
  13318. December 4, 2005
  13319. MediaWiki 1.5.3 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
  13320. Validation of the user language option was broken by a code change in
  13321. May 2005, opening the possibility of remote code execution as this
  13322. parameter is used in forming a class name dynamically created with
  13323. eval().
  13324. The validation has been corrected in this version. All prior 1.5 release
  13325. and prelease versions are affected; 1.4 and earlier and not affected.
  13326. Additionally several bugs have been fixed; see the changelog later in
  13327. this file for a complete list.
  13328. == MediaWiki 1.5.2 ==
  13329. November 2, 2005
  13330. MediaWiki 1.5.2 is a bugfix maintenance release.
  13331. A change in PHP 4.4.1 and PHP 5.1.0RC broke handling of extension and
  13332. <pre> sections, causing garbage data to be inserted in output and saved
  13333. edits. This version works around the change.
  13334. Several other glitches with MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.0.5 were also fixed;
  13335. see the change log below for a complete list.
  13336. == MediaWiki 1.5.1 ==
  13337. October 26, 2005
  13338. MediaWiki 1.5.1 is a bugfix and security maintenance release, and is a
  13339. recommended upgrade for all installations.
  13340. This release includes further corrections to the inline CSS style sanitation
  13341. which works around a JavaScript "feature" on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  13342. Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows may be vulnerable to
  13343. XSS injections on prior versions; users of standards-compliant browsers
  13344. are not vulnerable.
  13345. Major fixes include:
  13346. * Image pages work again with resizing disabled
  13347. * Works in MySQL 5.0 strict mode
  13348. There is experimental support in this release for explicitly declaring
  13349. the UTF-8 charset in the database; this has been tested with MySQL 5.0.15
  13350. but should work on 4.1 as well.
  13351. IMPORTANT: Changing this setting on an existing wiki may produce interesting
  13352. data corruption, depending on server configuration. Page contents should,
  13353. usually, be unaffected, but page titles and other items may be. Limitations
  13354. in MySQL's Unicode support mean that characters outside the BMP cannot be used
  13355. in page titles or various other fields when using this mode.
  13356. Table definitions are in maintenance/mysql5/tables.sql, and the runtime
  13357. option to send 'SET NAMES utf8' is set by $wgDBmysql5 = true.
  13358. (MySQL 3.23.x and 4.0.x do not support character set declarations; on these
  13359. versions MediaWiki simply works with UTF-8 data and MySQL is blissfully
  13360. unaware of it.)
  13361. == MediaWiki 1.5.0 final ==
  13362. October 5, 2005
  13363. MediaWiki 1.5.0 is the new stable release branch of MediaWiki, and is
  13364. recommended for all new installations.
  13365. Any wikis running a 1.5 beta or release candidate are strongly recommended
  13366. to upgrade to the final release, which includes a number of bug fixes and
  13367. a security fix for CSS bugs in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  13368. IMPORTANT: Running a 1.3 or 1.4 wiki and don't want to jump to 1.5 yet?
  13369. Be sure to upgrade to 1.3.17 or 1.4.11, also released today. Versions
  13370. prior to 1.3.16 and 1.4.10 have a serious data corruption bug which is
  13371. triggered by a spambot known to operate in the wild.
  13372. === What's new in 1.5? ===
  13373. Schema:
  13374. The core table schema has changed significantly. This should make better
  13375. use of the database's cache and disk I/O, and make significantly speed up
  13376. rename and delete operations on pages with very long edit histories.
  13377. Unfortunately this does mean upgrading a wiki of size from 1.4 will require
  13378. some downtime for the schema restructuring, but future storage backend
  13379. changes should be able to integrate into the new system more easily.
  13380. Permalinks:
  13381. The current revision of a page now has a permanent 'oldid' number assigned
  13382. immediately, and the id numbers are now preserved across deletion/undeletion.
  13383. A permanent reference to the current revision of a page is now just a matter
  13384. of going to the 'history' tab and copying the first link in the list.
  13385. Page move log:
  13386. Renames of pages are now recorded in Special:Log and the page history.
  13387. A handy revert link is available from the log for sysops.
  13388. Editing diff:
  13389. Ever lost track of what you'd done so far during an edit? A 'Show diff'
  13390. button on the edit page now makes it easy to remember.
  13391. Uploads:
  13392. It's now possible to specify the final filename of an upload distinct
  13393. from the original filename on your disk.
  13394. An image link for a missing file will now take you straight to the upload page.
  13395. More metadata is pre-extracted from uploaded images, which will ease pressure
  13396. on disk or NFS volumes used to store images. EXIF metadata is displayed on
  13397. the image description page if PHP is configured with the necessary module.
  13398. If .svg files are added to the upload whitelist, you can choose to render
  13399. them to rasterized .png images for inline display using one of several
  13400. external helper programs. See DefaultSettings.php for SVG options.
  13401. User accounts:
  13402. There are some changes to the user permissions system, with assignable
  13403. groups. Note that this does *not* allow you to make pages which are only
  13404. accessible to certain groups.
  13405. For details see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights
  13406. E-mail:
  13407. User-to-user e-mail can now be restricted to require a mail-back confirmation
  13408. first to reduce potential for abuse with false addresses.
  13409. Updates to user talk pages and watchlist entries can optionally send e-mail
  13410. notifications.
  13411. External hooks:
  13412. A somewhat experimental interface for hooking in an external editor
  13413. application is included.
  13414. And...
  13415. A bunch of stuff we forgot to mention.
  13416. === What's gone? ===
  13417. Latin-1:
  13418. Wikis must now be encoded in Unicode UTF-8; this has been the default for
  13419. some time, but some languages could optionally be installed in Latin-1 mode.
  13420. This is no longer supported.
  13421. You can check if your current wiki is in Latin-1 mode by using your browser's
  13422. "view source"; look for a line like this:
  13423. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  13424. If it says charset=utf-8, you're ready. If it says charset=iso8859-1,
  13425. you may need to convert your data. (English-language wikis avoiding
  13426. any accented characters may be able to get away without conversion.)
  13427. MySQL 3.x:
  13428. Some optimization hacks for MySQL 3.x have been removed as part of the schema
  13429. clean-up (specifically, the inverse_timestamp fields).
  13430. MediaWiki 1.5 may still run on 3.x, but wikis of non-trivial size should
  13431. very seriously consider upgrading to a more modern release. MySQL 3.x support
  13432. will probably be entirely dropped in the next major release.
  13433. Special:Maintenance
  13434. These tools were, ironically enough, not really maintained. This special
  13435. page has been removed; insofar as some of its pieces were useful and haven't
  13436. already been supplanted by other special pages they should be rewritten in
  13437. an efficient and safe manner in the future.
  13438. === Caveats ===
  13439. Upgrade:
  13440. Wikis in Latin-1 encoding are no longer supported; only Unicode UTF-8.
  13441. A new option $wgLegacyEncoding is provided to allow on-the-fly recoding of
  13442. old page text entries, but other metadata fields (titles, comments etc) need
  13443. to be pre-converted. The standard upgrade process does not yet fully automate
  13444. this, but you can try the alternate partial-upgrader in upgrade1_5.php.
  13445. The upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 schema has not been tested for all cases, so
  13446. it's possible you may experience problems in some combinations.
  13447. Backups:
  13448. The text entries of deleted pages are no longer removed from the main
  13449. text table on deletion. If you provide public backup dumps of your databases,
  13450. you will probably want to use the new XML-format dump generator, available
  13451. as maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
  13452. For more information on how we run our own public data dumps at Wikimedia,
  13453. see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps
  13454. PostgreSQL:
  13455. The table definitions for PostgreSQL install are out of date. PostgreSQL
  13456. support may return in later releases, pending appropriate patches.
  13457. MySQL 4.1+:
  13458. Some users may encounter installation problems with MySQL 4.1 or higher
  13459. due to strange charset encoding / collation configurations. Try setting
  13460. to 'latin1' or 'utf8' if you encounter problems.
  13461. == MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 4 ==
  13462. August 29, 2005
  13463. MediaWiki 1.5rc4 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
  13464. It fixes compatibility with PHP 5.1, and corrects two cross-site scripting
  13465. security bugs:
  13466. * <math> tags were handled incorrectly when TeX rendering support is off,
  13467. as in the default configuration.
  13468. * Extension or <nowiki> sections in Wiki table syntax could bypass HTML
  13469. style attribute restrictions for cross-site scripting attacks against
  13470. Microsoft Internet Explorer
  13471. Wikis where the optional math support has been *enabled* are not vulnerable
  13472. to the first, but are vulnerable to the second.
  13473. == MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 3 ==
  13474. August 24, 2005
  13475. MediaWiki 1.5rc3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
  13476. It fixes several major problems in 1.5rc2:
  13477. * Fixed a cross-site scripting injection in the search form
  13478. (broken since 1.5beta1)
  13479. * Fixed upgrades from 1.4 database schema
  13480. (broken since 1.5rc2)
  13481. 1.3 and 1.4 releases are not vulnerable to the XSS bug, but anyone
  13482. running an earlier 1.5 beta or release candidate should upgrade
  13483. immediately.
  13484. == MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 2 ==
  13485. August 23, 2005
  13486. MediaWiki 1.5rc2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
  13487. Numerous bug fixes since last beta, plus a security fix; see change
  13488. log below for full details.
  13489. A flaw in the interaction between extensions and HTML attribute
  13490. sanitization was discovered which could allow unauthorized use
  13491. of offsite resources in style sheets, and possible exploitation
  13492. of a JavaScript injection feature on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  13493. This version expands the returned text and properly checks it
  13494. before output.
  13495. A 1.5rc1 release was mistakenly made from the incorrect source code
  13496. branch; 1.5rc2 is identical to the actual 1.5rc1 in revision control
  13497. except for version number.
  13498. == MediaWiki 1.5 beta 4 ==
  13499. July 30, 2005
  13500. MediaWiki 1.5 beta 4 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
  13501. A number of bugs have been fixed since beta 3; see the full changelist below.
  13502. == MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 ==
  13503. July 7, 2005
  13504. MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release
  13505. series, with a security update over beta 2.
  13506. Incorrect escaping of a parameter in the page move template could
  13507. be used to inject JavaScript code by getting a victim to visit a
  13508. maliciously constructed URL. Users of vulnerable releases are
  13509. recommended to upgrade to this release.
  13510. Vulnerable versions:
  13511. * 1.5 preview series: n <= 1.5beta2 vulnerable, fixed in 1.5beta3
  13512. * 1.4 stable series: 1.4beta6 <= n <= 1.4.5 vulnerable, fixed in 1.4.6
  13513. * 1.3 legacy series: not vulnerable
  13514. This release also includes several bug fixes and localization updates.
  13515. See the changelog at the end of this file for a detailed list.
  13516. == MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 ==
  13517. July 5, 2005
  13518. MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
  13519. While most exciting new bugs should have been ironed out at this point,
  13520. third-party wiki operators should probably not run this beta release
  13521. on a public site without closely following additional development.
  13522. Anyone who _has_ been running beta 1 is very very strongly advised to
  13523. upgrade to beta 2, as it fixes many bugs from the previous beta including
  13524. a couple of HTML and SQL injections.
  13525. This release should be followed by one or two release candidates and
  13526. a 1.5.0 final within the next few weeks.
  13527. Beta upgraders, note there are some minor database changes. For upgrades
  13528. from 1.4, see the file UPGRADE for details on significant database and
  13529. configuration file changes.
  13530. Beta 2 includes a preliminary command-line XML wiki dump importer tool,
  13531. maintenance/importDump.php, paired with maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
  13532. These use the same format as Special:Export and Special:Import, able
  13533. to package a wiki's entire page set independent of the backend database
  13534. and compression format.
  13535. == MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 ==
  13536. June 26, 2005
  13537. MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 is a preview release, pretty much feature complete,
  13538. of the new 1.5 release series. There are several known and likely a number
  13539. of unknown bugs; it is not recommended to use this release in a production
  13540. environment but would be recommended for testing in mind of an upcoming
  13541. deployment.
  13542. A number of significant changes have been made since the alpha releases,
  13543. including database changes and a reworking of the user permissions settings.
  13544. See the file UPGRADE for details of upgrading and changing your prior
  13545. configuration settings for the new system.
  13546. == MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 ==
  13547. June 3, 2005
  13548. MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 includes a lot of bug fixes, feature merges,
  13549. and a security update.
  13550. Incorrect handling of page template inclusions made it possible to
  13551. inject JavaScript code into HTML attributes, which could lead to
  13552. cross-site scripting attacks on a publicly editable wiki.
  13553. Vulnerable releases and fix:
  13554. * 1.5 prerelease: fixed in 1.5alpha2
  13555. * 1.4 stable series: fixed in 1.4.5
  13556. * 1.3 legacy series: fixed in 1.3.13
  13557. * 1.2 series no longer supported; upgrade to 1.4.5 strongly recommended
  13558. == MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 1 ==
  13559. May 3, 2005
  13560. This is a testing preview release, being put out mainly to aid testers in
  13561. finding installation bugs and other major problems. It is strongly recommended
  13562. NOT to run a live production web site on this alpha release.
  13563. ** WARNING: USE OF THIS ALPHA RELEASE MAY INFEST YOUR HOUSE WITH **
  13564. ** TERMITES, ROT YOUR TEETH, GROW HAIR ON YOUR PALMS, AND PASTE **
  13565. ** INNUENDO INTO YOUR C.V. RIGHT BEFORE A JOB INTERVIEW! **

  13634. into the main text store.
  13635. * Special:Export now includes page, revision, and user id numbers by
  13636. default (previously this was disabled for no particular reason)
  13637. * dumpBackup.php can dump the full database to Export XML, with current

  13650. dealing with moves and deletes of widely-linked pages.
  13651. * Add validate table and val_ip column through the updater.

  13664. * Fix function comment in debug dump of SQL statements
  13665. * (bug 2275) Update search index more or less right on page move
  13666. * (bug 2053) Move comment whitespace trimming from edit page to save;

  14167. === Caveats ===
  14168. Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
  14169. produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
  14170. set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
  14171. cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
  14172. MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)
  14173. ----
  14174. == MediaWiki 1.4.3 ==
  14175. (released 2005-04-28)
  14176. MediaWiki 1.4.3 is a bugfix release for the 1.4 stable release series.
  14177. Chiefly, this fixes a compatibility problem with PHP 5 and a minor link
  14178. table corruption bug on initial page save.
  14179. == MediaWiki 1.4.2 ==
  14180. (released 2005-04-20)
  14181. MediaWiki 1.4.2 is a security and bug fix release for the 1.4 stable release
  14182. series.
  14183. A cross-site scripting injection vulnerability was discovered, which
  14184. affects only MSIE clients and is only open if MediaWiki has been
  14185. manually configured to run output through HTML Tidy ($wgUseTidy).
  14186. Several other bugs are fixed in this release, see the changelog below.
  14187. All new installations are highly recommended to use 1.4.2 instead of
  14188. 1.3.x; 1.3.x users should consider upgrading for bug fixes and new
  14189. features. Ealier 1.4.x release and beta users should upgrade to this
  14190. release for relevant bug fixes; see the changelog later in this file.
  14191. If you have trouble, remember to read this whole file and the online FAQ page
  14192. before asking for help:
  14193. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ
  14194. === READ THIS FIRST: Upgrading ===
  14195. If upgrading from an older release, see the notes in the file UPGRADE.
  14196. There are a couple of minor database changes from the beta releases,
  14197. and somewhat larger changes from 1.3.x.
  14198. Upgrading from a previous 1.4.x stable release installation should
  14199. generally only require copying the new files over the old ones.
  14200. ==== READ THIS FIRST, TOO: MySQL 4.1 AND 5.0 ====
  14201. MySQL 5.0 is a beta release, not yet ready for production use. If you
  14202. are using it, the notes below about 4.1 apply to you too.
  14203. If you have the choice of MySQL 4.0 or MySQL 4.1 and don't need 4.1 for
  14204. some other application, you should consider sticking with 4.0 for the
  14205. moment. 4.1 may require you to do extra fiddling to get things to work
  14206. due to changes that aren't fully backwards-compatible.
  14207. MySQL 4.1 has changed the authentication protocol in an incompatible
  14208. way; many PHP installations still use the older client libraries and
  14209. CANNOT CONNECT TO THE SERVER WITH A PASSWORD without some changes.
  14210. See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html
  14211. If MySQL is set with utf-8 as the default character set, installation
  14212. may fail with "key too long" errors. Set the default charset to 'latin1'
  14213. for installation and it should work.
  14214. The mysqldump backup generator now applies an automatic conversion to
  14215. UTF-8, which may irretrivably corrupt your data. Pass the -charset option
  14216. with the original default charset (eg 'latin1') to skip the conversion.
  14217. ==== READ THIS FIRST IF RUNNING ON A WINDOWS SERVER ====
  14218. MediaWiki is tested and deployed primarily under the Apache web server
  14219. on Linux Unix systems. There are known to be problems running on
  14220. Microsoft's IIS which are not fully resolved. If you have a choice,
  14221. try running under Apache on Windows, or on a Unix/Linux box instead.
  14222. If you're having trouble with blank pages on IIS and can't switch,
  14223. try the workaround suggested in this bug report:
  14224. http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1763
  14225. === New features ===
  14226. * 'Recentchanges Patrol' to mark new edits that haven't yet been viewed.
  14227. * New, searchable deletion/upload/protection logs
  14228. * Image gallery generation (Special:Newimages and <gallery> tag)
  14229. * SVG rasterization support (requires external support tools)
  14230. * Users can select from the available localizations to override the
  14231. default user interface language.
  14232. * Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion support
  14233. * rel="nofollow" support to combat linkspam
  14234. The current implementation adds this attribute to _all_ external URL
  14235. links in wiki text (but not internal [[wiki links]] or interwiki links).
  14236. To disable the attribute for _all_ external links, add this line to your
  14237. LocalSettings.php:
  14238. $wgNoFollowLinks = false
  14239. For background information on nofollow see:
  14240. http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html
  14241. === Installation and compatibility ===
  14242. * The default MonoBook theme now works with PHP 5.0
  14243. * Installation on systems with PHP's safe mode or other oddities
  14244. should work more reliably, as MonoBook no longer needs to
  14245. create a compiled template file for the wiki to run.
  14246. * A table prefix may be specified, to avoid conflicts with other
  14247. web applications forced to share a database.
  14248. * More thorough UTF-8 input validation; fixes non-ASCII uploaded
  14249. filenames from Safari.
  14250. * Command-line database upgrade script.
  14251. === Customizability ===
  14252. * Default user options can now be overridden in LocalSettings.
  14253. * Skins system more modular: templates and CSS are now in /skins/
  14254. New skins can be dropped into this directory and used immediately.
  14255. * More extension hooks have been added.
  14256. * Authentication plugin hook.
  14257. * More internal code documentation, generated with phpdoc:
  14258. https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/html/
  14259. === Optimization ===
  14260. * For many operations, MediaWiki 1.4 should run faster and use
  14261. less memory than MediaWiki 1.3. Page rendering is up to twice
  14262. as fast. (Use a PHP accelerator such as Turck MMCache for best
  14263. results with any PHP application, though!)
  14264. * The parser cache no longer requires memcached, and is enabled
  14265. by default. This avoids a lot of re-rendering of pages that
  14266. have been shown recently, greatly speeding longer page views.
  14267. * Support for compiled PHP modules to speed up page diff and
  14268. Unicode validation/normalization. (Requires ability to compile
  14269. and load PHP extensions).
  14270. === What isn't ready yet ===
  14271. * A new user/groups permissions scheme has been held back to 1.5.
  14272. * An experimental SOAP interface will be made available as an extension
  14273. * PostgreSQL support is largely working, minus search and the installer.
  14274. You can perform a manual installation.
  14275. * E-mail notification of watched page changes and verification of
  14276. user-submitted e-mail addresses is not yet included.
  14277. * Log pages are not automatically imported into the new log table
  14278. at upgrade time. A script to import old text log entries is
  14279. incomplete, but may be available in later point releases.
  14280. * Some localizations are still incomplete.
  14281. == Changelog ==
  14282. === Important security updates ===
  14283. A security audit found and fixed a number of problems. Users of MediaWiki
  14284. 1.3.10 and earlier should upgrade to 1.3.11; users of 1.4 beta releases
  14285. prior to 1.4rc1 should upgrade immediately.
  14286. ==== Cross-site scripting vulnerability ====
  14287. XSS injection points can be used to hijack session and authentication
  14288. cookies as well as more serious attacks.
  14289. * Media: links output raw text into an attribute value, potentially
  14290. abusable for JavaScript injection. This has been corrected.
  14291. * Additional checks added to file upload to protect against MSIE and
  14292. Safari MIME-type autodetection bugs.
  14293. As of 1.3.10/1.4beta6, per-user customized CSS and JavaScript is disabled
  14294. by default as a general precaution. Sites which want this ability may set
  14295. $wgAllowUserCss and $wgAllowUserJs in LocalSettings.php.
  14296. ==== Cross-site request forgery ====
  14297. An attacker could use JavaScript-submitted forms to perform various
  14298. restricted actions by tricking an authenticated user into visiting
  14299. a malicious web page. A fix for page editing in 1.3.10/1.4beta6 has
  14300. been expanded in this release to other forms and functions.
  14301. Authors of bot tools may need to update their code to include the
  14302. additional fields.
  14303. ==== Directory traversal ====
  14304. An unchecked parameter in image deletion could allow an authenticated
  14305. administrator to delete arbitary files in directories writable by the
  14306. web server, and confirm existence of files not deletable.
  14307. ==== Older issues ====
  14308. Note that 1.4 beta releases prior to beta 5 include an input validation
  14309. error which could lead to execution of arbitrary PHP code on the server.
  14310. Users of older betas should upgrade immediately to the current version.
  14311. Beta 6 also introduces the use of rel="nofollow" attributes on external
  14312. links in wiki pages to reduce the effectiveness of wiki spam. This will
  14313. cause participating search engines to ignore external URL links from wiki
  14314. pages for purposes of page relevancy ranking.
  14315. === Misc bugs fixed in beta 1 ===
  14316. * (bug 95) Templates no longer limited to 5 inclusions per page
  14317. * New user preference for limiting the image size for images on image description
  14318. pages

  14627. Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
  14628. produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
  14629. set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
  14630. cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
  14631. MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)
