Filter <style> 29 elements; normalize style elements and attributes before filtering; add 30 checks for attributes that contain css; add unit tests for html5sec and 31 reported bugs. 32 * (bug 65998) Make MySQLi work with non-standard socket. 33 * (bug 66986) GlobalVarConfig shouldn't throw exceptions for null-valued config 34 settings. 35 36 == MediaWiki 1.23.3 == 37 38 This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch. 39 40 === Changes since 1.23.2 === 41 42 * (bug 68501) Correctly handle incorrect namespace in cleanupTitles.php. 43 * (bug 64970) Fix support for blobs on DatabaseOracle::update. 44 * (bug 66574) Display MediaWiki:Loginprompt on the login page. 45 * (bug 67870) wfShellExec() cuts off stdout at multiples of 8192 bytes. 46 * (bug 60629) Handle invalid language code gracefully in 47 Language::fetchLanguageNames. 48 * (bug 62017) Restore the number of rows shown on Special:Watchlist. 49 * Check for boolean false result from database query in SqlBagOStuff. 50 51 == MediaWiki 1.23.2 == 52 53 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch. 54 55 === Changes since 1.23.1 === 56 57 * (bug 68187) SECURITY: Prepend jsonp callback with comment. 58 * (bug 66608) SECURITY: Fix for XSS issue in bug 66608: Generate the URL used 59 for loading a new page in Javascript,instead of relying on the URL in the link 60 that has been clicked. 61 * (bug 65778) SECURITY: Copy prevent-clickjacking between OutputPage and 62 ParserOutput. 63 * (bug 68313) Preferences: Turn stubthreshold back into a combo box. 64 * (bug 65214) Fix initSiteStats.php maintenance script. 65 * (bug 67594) Special:ActiveUsers: Fix to work with PostgreSQL. 66 67 == MediaWiki 1.23.1 == 68 69 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.23 branch. 70 71 === Changes since 1.23.0 === 72 73 * (bug 65839) SECURITY: Prevent external resources in SVG files. 74 * (bug 67025) Special:Watchlist: Don't try to render empty row. 75 * (bug 66922) Don't allow some E_NOTICE messages to end up in the LocalSettings.php. 76 * (bug 66467) FileBackend: Avoid using popen() when "parallelize" is disabled. 77 * (bug 66428) MimeMagic: Don't seek before BOF. This has weird side effects 78 like only extracting the tail of the file partially or not at all. 79 * (bug 66182) Removed -x flag on some php files. 80 81 === Configuration changes in 1.23 === 82 * (bug 13250) Restored method for clearing a watchlist in web UI 83 so that users with large watchlists don't have to perform 84 contortions to clear them. 85 * When $wgJobRunRate is higher than zero, jobs are now executed via an 86 asynchronous HTTP request to a MediaWiki entry point. This may require 87 increasing the number of server worker threads. $wgRunJobsAsync has been 88 added to disable this feature if needed, falling back to executing the job 89 on the same process but making the execution synchronously. 90 * $wgDebugLogGroups values may be set to an associative array with a 91 'destination' key specifying the log destination. The array may also contain 92 a 'sample' key with a positive integer value N indicating that the log group 93 should be sampled by dispatching one in every N messages on average. The 94 sampling is random. 95 * In addition to the current exception log format, MediaWiki now serializes 96 exception metadata to JSON and logs it to the 'exception-json' log group. 97 This makes MediaWiki easier to integrate with log aggregation and analysis 98 tools. 99 * $wgSquidServersNoPurge now supports the use of Classless Inter-Domain 100 Routing (CIDR) notation to specify contiguous blocks of IPv4 and/or IPv6 101 addresses that should be trusted to provide X-Forwarded-For headers. 102 * Preferences 'watchcreations', 'watchdefault', 'enotifwatchlistpages' ("Add 103 pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist", "Add pages and files I 104 edit to my watchlist", "Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is 105 changed") are now enabled by default. In addition new user accounts' personal 106 and talk pages are now watched by them by default. 107 * $wgLBFactoryConf: Class names have had underscores removed. The configuration 108 should be updated if LBFactory_Simple or LBFactory_Multi is configured. 109 * $wgPasswordSenderName has been removed and is no longer functional. To set a 110 custom mailer name, the system message 'emailsender' should be modified 111 (default: "{{SITENAME}}"). 112 * (bug 63269) Email notifications were not correctly handling the 113 [[MediaWiki:Helppage]] message being set to a full URL (the default). 114 If you customized [[MediaWiki:Enotif body]] (the text of email notifications), 115 you'll need to edit it locally to include the URL via the new variable 116 $HELPPAGE instead of the parser functions fullurl and canonicalurl; otherwise 117 you don't have to do anything. 118 * $wgDBAhandler was removed as the only class using it was also removed 119 * The 'max threads' setting was removed from $wgDBservers. 120 * Support for AdminSettings.php has been completely removed. All configuration 121 belongs in LocalSettings.php. 122 * $wgSkipSkin, which has been replaceable by $wgSkipSkins since 2005 (r9249), is 123 now formally deprecated. 124 * Removed deprecated $wgDisabledActions as it is hardly used anywhere. 125 * $wgRateLimitLog has been deprecated and replaced by 126 $wgDebugLogGroup['ratelimit']. 127 * $wgLocalInterwikis is an array containing multiple local interwiki prefixes 128 (interwiki prefixes that point back to the current wiki). This effectively 129 allows more than one value of $wgLocalInterwiki to be specified and 130 understood by the parser. The value of $wgLocalInterwiki is automatically 131 prepended to the start of this array. 132 * $wgQueryPages has been removed. Query Pages should be added to by using the 133 wgQueryPages hook. 134 * $wgHttpOnlyBlacklist has been removed. 135 * $wgLicenseTerms has been removed as it was unused. 136 * $wgProfileOnly is now deprecated; set the log file in 137 $wgDebugLogGroups['profileoutput'] to replace it. 138 * $wgMaxBacklinksInvalidate was removed; use $wgJobBackoffThrottling instead 139 * Deprecated ResourceLoaderGetStartupModules hook. 140 141 === New features in 1.23 === 142 * ResourceLoader can utilize the Web Storage API to cache modules client-side. 143 Compared to the browser cache, caching in Web Storage allows ResourceLoader 144 to be more granular about evicting stale modules from the cache while 145 retaining the ability to retrieve multiple modules in a single HTTP request. 146 This capability can be enabled by setting $wgResourceLoaderStorageEnabled to 147 true. This feature is currently considered experimental and should only be 148 enabled with care. 149 * (bug 6092) Add expensive parser functions {{REVISIONID:}}, {{REVISIONUSER:}} 150 and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP:}} (with friends). 151 * Add "wgRelevantUserName" to mw.config containing the current 152 Skin::getRelevantUser value. 153 * (bug 56033) Add content model to the page information. 154 * Added Article::MissingArticleConditions hook to give extensions a chance to 155 hide their (unrelated) log entries. 156 * Added LonelyPagesQuery hook to let extensions modify the query used to 157 generate Special:LonelyPages. 158 * Added $wgOpenSearchDefaultLimit defining the default number of entries to show 159 on action=opensearch API call. 160 * For namespaces with $wgNamespaceProtection (including the MediaWiki 161 namespace), the "protect" tab will be shown only if there are restriction 162 levels available that would restrict editing beyond what 163 $wgNamespaceProtection already applies. The protection form will offer only 164 those protection levels. 165 * Added $wgAPIFormatModules, allowing extensions to add additional output 166 formatting modules for the API. 167 * (bug 47812) The MediaWiki:Group-user.{css,js} pages can now be used to add 168 custom CSS or JavaScript enabled only for registered users. 169 * (bug 52005) Special pages RecentChanges, RecentChangesLinked and Watchlist 170 now include a legend describing the symbols used in lists of changes. 171 * Improved the accessibility of the tabs in Special:Preferences. 172 * Added ApiBeforeMain hook, roughly equivalent to the BeforeInitialize hook: 173 it's called after everything is set up but before any major processing 174 happens. 175 * The jquery.client module now performs a component-wise version comparison in 176 its #test method when strings are used in the browser map: version '1.10' is 177 now correctly considered larger than '1.2'. Using numbers in the version map 178 is not affected. 179 * All API modules now support an assert parameter, which can either be 180 'user' or 'bot'. The API will throw an error if the user is not logged 181 in (user) or does not have the 'bot' userright (bot). Based off of the 182 AssertEdit extension by Steve Sanbeg. 183 * [[Special:Diff]] was added, allowing users to create internal links to 184 revision comparison pages using syntax such as [[Special:Diff/12345]], 185 [[Special:Diff/12345/prev]] or [[Special:Diff/12345/98765]]. 186 * New user accounts' personal and talk pages are now watched by them by default. 187 * Added SkinTemplateGetLanguageLink hook to allow changing the html of language 188 links. 189 * Added MessageCache::get hook as a new way to customize messages across 190 multiple sites. 191 * Added jquery.throttle-debounce ResourceLoader module to limit the number of 192 callbacks for frequently occurring events. 193 * Special:ProtectedPages shows now a table. The timestamp, the reason and 194 the protecting user is also shown. 195 * Added experimental support for using Microsoft SQL Server as the database 196 backend. 197 ** Added new Microsoft SQL Server-specific configuration variable 198 $wgDBWindowsAuthentication, which makes the web server authenticate against 199 the database server using Integrated Windows Authentication instead of 200 $wgDBuser/$wgDBpassword. 201 * HTMLForm 'select', 'selectandother', 'selectorother', 'multiselect', and 202 'radio' fields can now use message keys as labels via the 'options-messages' 203 parameter, which overrides the 'options' parameter. 204 * Admins can expire users users passwords manually, or on a schedule using the 205 $wgPasswordExpirationDays configuration setting. 206 * Add new hook SendWatchlistEmailNotification, this will be used to determine 207 whether to send a watchlist email notification. 208 * (bug 42026) Special:Contributions now includes an option to filter page 209 creations, similar to the topOnly option. 210 * Add mediawiki.ui.button styling to all pages so wiki content can use styled 211 buttons. 212 * Special:UserLogin/signup now does AJAX checks for invalid and taken usernames, 213 displaying the error live. 214 * Added BaseTemplateAfterPortlet hook to allow injecting html after portlets in skins. 215 * Support has been added for a JSON based localisation file format. The 216 installer has been updated to use it. 217 * Changes to content typography (colors, line-height etc.). See 218 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information. 219 * The Vector skin's visual treatment of external links has been simplified to a 220 single icon (from nine). This should not affect local rules unless they were 221 re-using these icons, which have now been deleted. 222 * ResourceLoader: mw.loader.using() now implements a Promise interface. 223 * Add new hook ChangesListInitRows accessed via ChangesList::initChangesListRows. 224 If called by the ChangesList consumer this gives extensions a chance to batch 225 process the result set prior to rendering. 226 * A PoolCounterRedis class was added which can be make use of in $wgPoolCounterConf. 227 This requires at least one Redis 2.6+ server. 228 * $wgProfileToDatabase was removed. Set $wgProfiler to ProfilerSimpleDB 229 in StartProfiler.php instead of using this. 230 * (bug 63444) Made it possible to change the indent string (default: 4 spaces) 231 used by FormatJson::encode(). 232 233 === Bug fixes in 1.23 === 234 * (bug 41759) The "updated since last visit" markers (on history pages, recent 235 changes and watchlist) and the talk page message indicator are now correctly 236 updated when the user is viewing old revisions of pages, instead of always 237 acting as if the latest revision was being viewed. 238 * (bug 56443) Special:ConfirmEmail no longer shows a "Mail a confirmation code" 239 when the email address is already confirmed. Also, consistently use 240 "confirmed", rather than "authenticated", when messaging whether or not the 241 user has confirmed an email address. 242 * (bug 19415) action=render no longer shows section edit links. This affects 243 behavior of several other features where (bogus) section edit links will 244 disappear, such as file description pages loaded via $wgUseInstantCommons or 245 pages transcluded cross-wiki via $wgEnableScaryTranscluding. 246 * (bug 56912) Show correct link color on cached result of Special:DeadendPages. 247 * Classes TitleListDependency and TitleDependency have been removed, as they 248 have been found unused in core and extensions for a long time. 249 * (bug 57098) SpecialPasswordReset now obeys returnto parameter 250 * (bug 37812) ResourceLoader will notice when a module's definition changes and 251 recompile it accordingly. 252 * (bug 57201) SpecialRecentChangesFilters hook is now executed for feeds. 253 * (bug 58640) Fixed a compatibility issue with PCRE 8.34 that caused pages 254 to appear blank or with missing text. 255 * (bug 56931) Updated the plural rules to CLDR 24. They are in new format 256 which is detailed in UTS 35 Rev 33. The PHP parser and evaluator as well as 257 the JavaScript evaluator were updated to support the new format. Plural rules 258 for some languages have changed, most notably Russian. Affected software 259 messages have been updated and marked for review at translatewiki.net. 260 * (bug 23542) imagelinks now stores both the redirect and target (as 261 templatelinks does). 262 * (bug 58167) The web installer no longer throws an exception when PHP is 263 compiled without support for MySQL yet with support for another DBMS. 264 * (bug 56199) Raw option of parser functions must now match complete word, 265 to take effect. 266 * (bug 60543) Special:PrefixIndex forgot stripprefix=1 for "Next page" link 267 * (bug 29762) Undoing an already-undone edit will now display an appropriate 268 message instead of leading the user to make a null edit. 269 * (bug 52659) mediawiki.notification: Notification area remained visible when 270 empty and thus was stealing pointer events from links on the page. 271 * (bug 26811) When a DBUnexpectedError occurs, DB server hostnames are now 272 hidden unless $wgShowExceptionDetails is true, and $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace 273 no longer applies in such cases. 274 * (bug 60960) Avoid doing file_exist() checks on data: URIs, as they cause 275 warnings to be printed on Windows due to large path length. 276 * (bug 48084) Fixed a bug in the installer that could cause $wgLogo to hold 277 the wrong path to the placeholder logo (skins/common/images/wiki.png). 278 * (bug 64289) jquery.textSelection: Don't throw errors on empty collections. 279 280 === Web API changes in 1.23 === 281 * (bug 54884) action=parse&prop=categories now indicates hidden and missing 282 categories. 283 * action=query&meta=filerepoinfo now returns additional information for each 284 repo. 285 * action=parse&prop=languageshtml was deprecated in 1.18 and will be removed in 286 MediaWiki 1.24. 287 * action=parse now has disabletoc flag to disable table of contents in output. 288 * (bug 25702) list=allcategories, list=allimages, list=alllinks, list=allpages, 289 list=deletedrevs and list=filearchive did not handle case-sensitivity 290 properly for all parameters. 291 * ApiQueryBase::titlePartToKey allows an extra parameter that indicates the 292 namespace in order to properly capitalize the title part. 293 * (bug 57874) action=feedcontributions no longer has one item more than limit. 294 * All API modules now support an assert parameter. See the new features section 295 for more details. 296 * Added prop=contributors to fetch the list of contributors to the page. 297 * The following API modules will now return entries where fields have been 298 revision-deleted: list=deletedrevs, list=filearchive, list=recentchanges, 299 list=watchlist. "hidden" indicators will be included, in the same style as is 300 already done for prop=revisions. 301 * The following API modules will now return the content of revision-deleted 302 fields, in addition to the "hidden" indicators, if the querying user has the 303 necessary rights: list=logevents, list=usercontribs, prop=imageinfo, 304 prop=revisions. 305 * The above modules, where applicable, will now return entries filtered by 306 revision-deleted fields if the querying user has the necessary rights. For 307 example, prop=revisions with rvuser or rvexcludeuser will no longer skip 308 revisions where the user was revision-deleted if the current user has the 309 deletedhistory right. 310 * The 'hideuser' right, used when blocking, is no longer necessary or 311 sufficient for seeing contributions with revision-deleted in 312 list=usercontribs. 313 * list=watchlist now uses the querying user's rights rather than the wlowner's 314 rights when checking whether wlprop=patrol is allowed. 315 * (bug 32151) ApiWatch now has pageset capabilities (titles/pageids/generators). 316 Title parameter is now deprecated. 317 * (bug 23005) Added action=revisiondelete. 318 * Added siprop=restrictions to API action=query&meta=siteinfo for querying 319 possible page restriction (protection) levels and types. 320 * Added prop 'limitreportdata' and 'limitreporthtml' to action=parse. 321 * (bug 58627) Provide language names on action=parse&prop=langlinks. 322 * Deprecated llurl= in favour of llprop=url for action=query&prop=langlinks. 323 * Added llprop=langname and llprop=autonym for action=query&prop=langlinks. 324 * prop=redirects is added, to return redirects to the pages in the query. 325 * list=allredirects is added, to list all redirects pointing to a namespace. 326 * (bug 42026) Added ucshow={new,!new,top,!top} to list=usercontribs. 327 Also added newonly to action=feedcontributions. 328 * (bug 42026) Deprecated uctoponly in favor of ucshow=top. 329 * list=search no longer has a "srredirects" parameter. Redirects are now 330 included in all searches. 331 * Added list=prefixsearch that works like action=opensearch but can be used as 332 a generator. 333 * (bug 24782) Various modules will now use unique continuation parameters. 334 * (bug 63249) Cache RecentChanges Atom feed in varnish for 15 seconds. 335 336 === Languages updated in 1.23 === 337 338 MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated 339 regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as 340 changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports. 341 342 * Support was added for Algerian Spoken Arabic (arq). 343 * Support was added for Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (hrx). 344 * Support was added for Northern Luri (lrc). 345 346 === Other changes in 1.23 === 347 * The rc_type field in the recentchanges table has been superseded by a new 348 rc_source field. The rc_source field is a string representation of the 349 change type where rc_type was a numeric constant. This field is not yet 350 queried but will be in a future release. 351 ** Utilize update.php to create and populate this new field. On larger wikis 352 which do not wish to update recentchanges table in one large update please 353 review the SQL and comments in maintenance/archives/patch-rc_source.sql. 354 ** The rc_type field of recentchanges will be deprecated in a future release. 355 * The global variable $wgArticle has been removed after a lengthy deprecation. 356 * The global functions addButton and insertTags (for mw.toolbar.addButton and 357 mw.toolbar.insertTags) now emits mw.log.warn when accessed. 358 * The ExpandTemplates extension has been moved into MediaWiki core. 359 * (bug 52812) Removed "Disable search suggestions" from Preference. 360 * (bug 52809) Removed "Disable browser page caching" from Preference. 361 * Three new modules intended for use by custom skins were added: 362 'mediawiki.skinning.elements', 'mediawiki.skinning.content', and 363 'mediawiki.skinning.interface', representing three levels of standard 364 MediaWiki styling. Previously skin creators wishing to use them had to refer 365 to the file names of appropriate files directly, which is now discouraged. 366 * The modules 'skins.vector' and 'skins.monobook' have been renamed to 367 'skins.vector.styles' and 'skins.monobook.styles', respectively, 368 and their definition was changed not to include the common*.css files; 369 the two skins now load the 'mediawiki.skinning.interface' module instead. 370 * A page_links_updated field has been added to the page table. 371 * SpecialPage::getTitle has been deprecated in favor of 372 SpecialPage::getPageTitle. 373 * BREAKING CHANGE: Two potentially backwards-incompatible changes have been made 374 to the 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' hook's last parameter (array $values) to make 375 the hook more consistent with the 'SpecialRecentChangesQuery' one: 376 ** Several array keys have been renamed: hideMinor → hideminor, 377 hideBots → hidebots, hideAnons → hideanons, hideLiu → hideliu, 378 hidePatrolled → hidepatrolled, hideOwn → hidemyself. 379 ** The parameter value is now a FormOptions object, not a plain array (array 380 access operators should continue to work, as it implements the ArrayAccess 381 interface). 382 * Option to mark hooks as deprecated has been added. 383 * (bug 52811) Preference "Enable section editing via [edit] links" was removed. 384 * (bug 52813) Preference "Show table of contents (for pages with more than 385 3 headings)" was removed. 386 * (bug 52810) Preference "Justify paragraphs" was removed. 387 * OutputPage::showErrorPage raises a notice if arguments are incoherent. 388 * Thumbnails that keep failing to render in thumb.php will be rate-limited 389 againt further render attempts for 1 hour. $wgAttemptFailureEpoch can be 390 altered to reset all rate-limited thumbnails at once. 391 * (bug 56572) Builds of the OOjs and OOjs UI libraries are now available. 392 * mw.loader.go and mw.loader.version have been removed. 393 * (bug 52815) Preference "Enable simplified search bar (Vector skin only)" 394 was removed. 395 * A user_password_expires column has been added to the user table. The User 396 object expects this column to exist. Use update.php to create this new field. 397 * The jquery.delayedBind ResourceLoader module was deprecated in favor of the 398 jquery.throttle-debounce module. It will be removed in MediaWiki 1.24. 399 * mw.user.bucket has been deprecated. 400 * On Special:PrefixIndex, a table#mw-prefixindex-list-table was changed to 401 table.mw-prefixindex-list-table to avoid duplicate ids when the special page 402 is transcluded. 403 * (bug 62198) window.$j has been deprecated. 404 * Preference "Disable link title conversion" was removed. 405 * SpecialRecentChanges no longer includes any functionality for generating feeds 406 - it has been factored out to ApiFeedRecentChanges. Old URLs redirect to new 407 ones. 408 * RecentChange::mExtra['lang'] is no longer set and should no longer be used. 409 Extensions should read from other configuration variables, including 410 $wgLocalInterwikis, to identify the current wiki. 411 * Sections in the parser test framework have been renamed and the old 412 section names are deprecated. Please use "!!wikitext" and "!!html" 413 (or "!!html/php") instead of "!!input" and "!!result". This allows 414 us to extend parser tests to accommodate additional input/output 415 pairs, such as "!!html/parsoid" (for the output of the Parsoid 416 parser, where it differs from the PHP parser). 417 * Special:Search no longer has an "include redirects" option on the advanced 418 tab. Redirects are now included in all searches. 419 * mediawiki.api.category's getCategories() 'async' parameter was deprecated. 420 * The locations of resources have been split between upstream libraries, now in 421 resources/lib/, local libaries in resources/src/, and local forks of upstream 422 libraries, also in resources/src/. 423 * BREAKING CHANGE: The automatically-generated function closure with which 424 ResourceLoader wraps all modules' JavaScript code now binds the identifier 425 names 'jQuery' and '$' to the jQuery object of the version of jQuery that is 426 bundled with MediaWiki. If you bind these names to other objects in global 427 scope (like Zepto.js or document.querySelectorAll, for example) you will need 428 to use different names to or re-bind them at the top of each 429 ResourceLoader-loaded module. 430 * (bug 52342) Preference "Remember my login" was removed. 431 * The skin autodiscovery mechanism has been deprecated and will be removed in 432 MediaWiki 1.25. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery 433 for migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it. 434 435 ==== Removed classes ==== 436 *

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. 575 576 == MediaWiki 1.22.9 == 577 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 578 579 === Changes since 1.22.8 === 580 * (bug 68187) SECURITY: Prepend jsonp callback with comment. 581 * (bug 66608) SECURITY: Fix for XSS issue in bug 66608: Generate the URL used for loading a new page in Javascript,instead of relying on the URL in the link that has been clicked. 582 * (bug 65778) SECURITY: Copy prevent-clickjacking between OutputPage and ParserOutput. 583 * (bug 59147) The img_metadata field was not being decoded from bytea into text. 584 585 == MediaWiki 1.22.8 == 586 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 587 588 === Changes since 1.22.7 === 589 * (bug 65839) SECURITY: Prevent external resources in SVG files. 590 * (bug 66428) MimeMagic: Don't seek before BOF. This has weird side effects like only extracting the tail of the file partially or not at all. 591 592 == MediaWiki 1.22.7 == 593 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 594 595 === Changes since 1.22.6 === 596 * (bug 65501) SECURITY: Don't parse usernames as wikitext on Special:PasswordReset. 597 * (bug 36356) Add space between two feed links. 598 * (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. 599 Add missing uploadstash.us_props for PostgreSQL. 600 * (bug 56047) Fixed stream wrapper in PhpHttpRequest. 601 602 == MediaWiki 1.22.6 == 603 This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 604 605 === Changes since 1.22.5 === 606 * (bug 63251) SECURITY: Escape sortKey in pageInfo. 607 608 == MediaWiki 1.22.5 == 609 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 610 611 === Changes since 1.22.4 === 612 * (bug 62497) SECURITY: Add CSRF token on Special:ChangePassword. 613 * (bug 62467) Set a title for the context during import on the cli. 614 * Fix custom local MediaWiki:Helppage values. 615 * mediawiki.js: Fix documentation breakage. 616 * (bug 58153) Make MySQLi work with non standard port. 617 * (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 . 618 * (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 . 619 620 == MediaWiki 1.22.4 == 621 This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 622 623 === Changes since 1.22.3 === 624 * Use the correct branch of the extensions' git repositories. 625 626 == MediaWiki 1.22.3 == 627 This is a security and bugfix release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 628 629 === Changes since 1.22.2 === 630 * (bug 60771) SECURITY: Disallow uploading SVG files using non-whitelisted namespaces. Also disallow iframe elements. * User will get an error including the namespace name if they use a non- whitelisted namespace. 631 * (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. 632 * (bug 61362) SECURITY: API: Don't find links in the middle of api.php links. 633 * (bug 53710) Add sequence support for upsert in DatabaseOracle in the same way as in selectInsert 634 * (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. 635 * (bug 60083) Correct sequence name for fresh Postgres installation. Spotted by gebhkla 636 * (bug 60531) Avoid variable naming conflicts in DatabasePostgres::selectSQLText. Spotted by gebhkla 637 * (bug 60094) Fix rebuildall.php fatal error with PostgreSQL. 638 * (bug 43817) Add error handling if descriptionmsg isn't defined for extension. 639 * (bug 60543) Special:PrefixIndex omits stripprefix=1 for "Next page" link. 640 641 == MediaWiki 1.22.2 == 642 This is a security and bugfix release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 643 644 === Changes since 1.22.1 === 645 * (bug 60339) SECURITY: Sanitize shell arguments to DjVu files, and other media formats 646 * (bug 58253) Check for very old PCRE versions in installer and updater 647 * (bug 60054) Make WikiPage::$mPreparedEdit public 648 649 == MediaWiki 1.22.1 == 650 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.22 branch. 651 652 === Changes since 1.22.0 === 653 * (bug 57550) SECURITY: Disallow stylesheets in SVG Uploads 654 * (bug 58088) SECURITY: Don't normalize U+FF3C to \ in CSS Checks 655 * (bug 58472) SECURITY: Disallow -o-link in styles 656 * (bug 58553) SECURITY: Return error on invalid XML for SVG Uploads 657 * (bug 58699) SECURITY: Fix RevDel log entry information leaks 658 * (bug 58178) Restore compatibility with curl < 7.16.2. 659 * (bug 56931) Updated the plural rules to CLDR 24. They are in new format which is detailed in UTS 35 Rev 33. The PHP parser and evaluator as well as the JavaScript evaluator were updated to support the new format. Plural rules for some languages have changed, most notably Russian. Affected software messages have been updated and marked for review at translatewiki.net. This change is backported from the development branch of MediaWiki 1.23. 660 * (bug 58434) The broken installer for database backend Oracle was fixed. 661 * (bug 58167) The web installer no longer throws an exception when PHP is compiled without support for MySQL yet with support for another DBMS. 662 * (bug 58640) Fixed a compatibility issue with PCRE 8.34 that caused pages to appear blank or with missing text. 663 * (bug 47055) Changed FOR UPDATE handling in Postgresql 664 * (bug 57026) Avoid extra parsing in prepareContentForEdit() 665 666 === Configuration changes in 1.22 === 667 * $wgRedirectScript was removed. It was unused. 668 * Removed $wgLocalMessageCacheSerialized, it is now always true. 669 * $wgVectorUseIconWatch is now enabled by default. 670 * $wgCascadingRestrictionLevels was added. 671 * ftps, ssh, sftp, xmpp, sip, sips, tel, sms, bitcoin, magnet, urn, and geo 672 have been whitelisted inside of $wgUrlProtocols. 673 * $wgDocType and $wgDTD have been removed and are no longer used for the DOCTYPE. 674 * $wgHtml5 is no longer used by core. Setting it to false will no longer disable HTML5. 675 It is still set to true for extension compatibility but doing so in extensions is deprecated. 676 * $wgXhtmlDefaultNamespace is no longer used by core. Setting it will no longer change the 677 xmlns used by MediaWiki. Reliance on this variable by extensions is deprecated. 678 * $wgHandheldStyle was removed. 679 * $wgHandheldForIPhone was removed. 680 * $wgJsMimeType is no longer used by core. Most usage has been removed since 681 HTML output is now exclusively HTML5. 682 * $wgDBOracleDRCP added. True enables persistent connection with DRCP on Oracle. 683 * $wgLogAutopatrol added to allow disabling logging of autopatrol edits in the logging table. 684 default for $wgLogAutopatrol is true. 685 * The 'edit' right no longer allows for editing a user's own CSS and JS. 686 * New rights 'editmyusercss', 'editmyuserjs', 'viewmywatchlist', 687 'editmywatchlist', 'viewmyprivateinfo', 'editmyprivateinfo', and 688 'editmyoptions' restrict actions that were formerly allowed by default. They 689 have been added to the default for $wgGroupPermissions['*']. 690 * The 'editprotected' right no longer allows bypassing of all page protection 691 restrictions. Any group using it for this purpose will now need to have all 692 the individual rights listed in $wgRestrictionTypes for the same effect. 693 * The 'protect' and 'autoconfirmed' rights are no longer used for the default 694 page protection levels. The rights 'editprotected' and 'editsemiprotected' 695 are now used for this purpose instead. 696 * (bug 40866) wgOldChangeTagsIndex removed. 697 * $wgNoFollowDomainExceptions now only matches entire domains. For example, 698 an entry for 'bar.com' will still match 'foo.bar.com' but not 'foobar.com'. 699 * $wgCopyUploadTimeout and $wgCopyUploadAsyncTimeout added to change the timeout times for 700 fetching the file during upload by url. 701 * New key added to $wgGalleryOptions - $wgGalleryOptions['mode'] to set 702 default gallery mode. 703 * New hook 'GalleryGetModes' to allow extensions to make new gallery modes. 704 * The checkbox for staying in HTTPS displayed on the login form when $wgSecureLogin is 705 enabled has been removed. Instead, whether the user stays in HTTPS will be determined 706 based on the user's preferences, and whether they came from HTTPS or not. 707 * $wgRC2UDPAddress, $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix, $wgRC2UDPOmitBots, $wgRC2UDPPort, 708 and $wgRC2UDPPrefix configuration options have been deprecated in favor of a 709 $wgRCFeeds configuration array. $wgRCFeeds makes both the format and 710 destination of recent change notifications customizable, and allows for 711 multiple destinations to be specified. 712 * (bug 53862) portal-url, currentevents-url and helppage have been removed from the 713 default Sidebar. 714 * The 'vector-simplesearch' preference is now enabled by default. Previously 715 it was only enabled if the Vector extension was installed. 716 * The precise format of metric datagrams produced by the UDP profiler and stats counter 717 may now be specified as $wgUDPProfilerFormatString and $wgStatsFormatString, 718 respectively. 719 * (bug 54597) $wgBlockOpenProxies, $wgProxyPorts, $wgProxyScriptPath, and 720 $wgProxyMemcExpiry have been removed, along with the open proxy scanner 721 script they were added for. 722 * Default value of $wgMaxShellMemory has been tripled (it's now 300 MB). 723 724 === New features in 1.22 === 725 * You can now install extensions using Composer. 726 See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Composer 727 * (bug 44525) mediawiki.jqueryMsg can now parse (whitelisted) HTML elements and attributes. 728 * (bug 33454) Language::sprintfDate now has a timezone parameter, and supports 729 the "eIOPTZ" formatting characters. 730 * EditWarning: A warning is shown when an editor leaves the edit form without 731 saving (enabled by default, users can opt-out via the 'useeditwarning' 732 preference). This feature was moved from the Vector extension, and is now part 733 of core for all skins. Take care when upgrading that you don't use an older 734 version of the Vector extension as this feature may conflict. 735 * New 'mediawiki.ui' CSS module providing mw-ui-* styles for buttons and a 736 compact vertical form layout. 737 * HTMLForm supports a new display format 'vform' which applies this compact vertical 738 layout and button styling. Special:PasswordReset uses this format. 739 * New versions of login (Special:UserLogin) and create account 740 (Special:UserLogin/signup) forms using the "vform" compact vertical form layout. 741 These forms use new messages that assume a "Help logging in" link, see 742 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_customizations; 743 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Account_creation_user_experience/Strings lists the 744 message key changes. 745 * (bug 23343) Implemented ability to apply IP blocks to the contents of X-Forwarded-For headers 746 by adding a new configuration variable $wgApplyIpBlocksToXff (disabled by default). 747 * The new hook 'APIGetPossibleErrors' to modify the list of possible errors was 748 added. 749 * (bug 25592) LogEventsList::showLogExtract() will now ignore various 750 Pager-related WebRequest parameters by default, as this is overwhelmingly 751 likely to be what was intended by users of the method. If any caller wishes 752 to use these parameters, the new param 'useRequestParams' may be set to true. 753 * mw.util.addPortletLink: Tooltip is no longer required to be plain (without 754 an accesskey in it already). As such it now rountrips. Creating a link with a 755 message as tooltip, grabbing the title attribute and using it to create 756 another portlet will work as expected. 757 * (bug 6747) {{ROOTPAGENAME}} introduced, contains the name of the topmost 758 page without namespace. 759 * BREAKING CHANGE: (bug 41729) Display editsection links next to headings. Also 760 change their class name from .editsection to .mw-editsection and place them at 761 the end of the heading element instead of the beginning. Client-side code and 762 screen-scrapers will have to be adjusted to handle both cases (old HTML will 763 still be visible on cached page renders until they are purged); extensions 764 using the DoEditSectionLink or EditSectionLink hooks might need adjustments as 765 well. 766 * (bug 45535) introduced the new 'LanguageLinks' hook for manipulating the 767 language links associated with a page before display. 768 * Chosen (http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/) was added as module 'jquery.chosen' 769 * HTMLForm will turn multiselect checkboxes into a Chosen interface when setting cssclass 'mw-chosen' 770 * rebuildLocalisationCache learned --lang option. Let you rebuild l10n caches 771 of the specified languages instead of all of them. 772 * New GetNewMessagesAlert hook allowing extensions to disable or modify the new 773 messages alert 774 * New wgUserNewMsgRevisionId JS global for logged in users. This will be null 775 if the user has no new talk page messages. Otherwise it will be set to the 776 revision ID of the oldest new talk page message. This will allow gadgets and 777 extensions to create their own new message alerts on the client side. 778 * mediawiki.log: Added log.warn wrapper (uses console.warn and console.trace). 779 * mediawiki.log: Implemented log.deprecate. This method defines a property and 780 uses ES5 getter/setter to emit a warning when they are used. 781 * $wgCascadingRestrictionLevels was added, allowing one to specify restriction levels 782 which can be cascading (previously 'sysop' was hard-coded as the only one). 783 * XHTML5 support has been improved. If you set $wgMimeType = 'application/xhtml+xml' 784 MediaWiki will try outputting markup acording to XHTML5 rules. 785 * Altered hook 'ProtectionForm::save', adding the reason page protection is 786 changed as third parameter. 787 * New hook 'TitleSquidURLs' for manipulating the list of URLs to be purged from 788 HTTP caches when a page is changed. 789 * Changed the patrolling system to always show the link for patrolling in case the 790 current revision is patrollable. This also removed the usage of the rcid URI parameters. 791 * Oracle DB backend now supports Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP). 792 Can be enabled by setting $wgDBOracleDRCP=true. 793 Requires Oracle DB 11gR1 or above, enabled DRCP inside the DB itself and a 794 propper connect string. 795 More about DRCP can be found at: 796 http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/database-resident-connection-pool-11gr1.php 797 * Add a new parameter $patrolFooterShown to hook ArticleViewFooter so the hook 798 handlers can take further action based on the status of the patrol footer 799 * A new hook TitleQuickPermissions was added to allow overriding of quick 800 permissions in the Title class. 801 * LinkCache singleton can now be altered or cleared, letting one to specify 802 another instance that does not rely on a database backend. 803 * MediaWiki's PHPUnit tests can now use PHPUnit installed using composer --dev. 804 * (bug 43689) The lists of templates used on the page and hidden categories it 805 is a member of, shown below the edit form, are now collapsible (and collapsed 806 by default). 807 * Parser profiling data, formerly only available in the "NewPP limit report" 808 HTML comment, is now also displayed at the bottom of page previews. 809 * Added ParserLimitReportPrepare and ParserLimitReportFormat hooks, deprecated 810 ParserLimitReport hook. 811 * New user rights have been added to increase granularity in rights management 812 for extensions such as OAuth: 813 ** editmyusercss controls whether a user may edit their own CSS subpages. 814 ** editmyuserjs controls whether a user may edit their own JS subpages. 815 ** viewmywatchlist controls whether a user may view their watchlist. 816 ** editmywatchlist controls whether a user may edit their watchlist. 817 ** viewmyprivateinfo controls whether a user may access their private 818 information (e.g. registered email address, real name). 819 ** editmyprivateinfo controls whether a user may change their private 820 information. 821 ** editmyoptions controls whether a user may change their preferences. 822 * Add new hook AbortTalkPageEmailNotification, this will be used to determine 823 whether to send the regular talk page email notification 824 * Action classes registered in $wgActions are now also supported in the form of 825 a callback (which returns an instance of Action) instead of providing the name 826 of a subclass of Action. 827 * (bug 46513) Vector: Add the collapsibleTabs script from the Vector extension. 828 * Added $wgRecentChangesFlags for defining new flags for RecentChanges and 829 watchlists. 830 * (bug 40518) mw.toolbar: Implemented mw.toolbar.addButtons for adding multiple 831 button objects in one call. 832 * Rights used for the default protection levels ('sysop' and 'autoconfirmed') 833 are now used just for that purpose, instead of overloading other rights. This 834 allows easy granting of the ability to edit sysop-protected pages without 835 also granting the ability to protect and unprotect. 836 * (bug 48256) Make brackets in section edit links accessible to CSS. 837 They are now wrapped in <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" />. 838 * (bug 8480) Allow handler specific parameters in galleries (like page number) 839 * jquery.client: Add detection for Opera 15 and Internet Explorer 11. 840 * Change tags (used by the AbuseFilter extension) are now shown on diff pages. 841 * Change tag lists (shown on recent changes, watchlist, user contributions, 842 history pages, diff pages) now include a link to Special:Tags to distinguish 843 them from edit summaries. 844 * Added a new method and hook, User::isEveryoneAllowed() and 845 UserIsEveryoneAllowed, for use in situations where a "does everyone have this 846 right?" check is used to avoid more expensive checks. 847 * (bug 14431) Display "(No difference)" instead of an empty diff (when comparing 848 revisions in the history or when previewing changes while editing). 849 * New hook 'IsUploadAllowedFromUrl' is added which can be used to intercept uploads by 850 URL, useful for blacklisting specific URLs 851 * (bug 21912) Watchlist token implementation has been refactored and 852 Special:ResetTokens was added to allow users to reset their tokens 853 instead of presenting them in Preferences. 854 * Special:PrefixIndex now lets you strip the searched prefix from the displayed 855 titles. Given a list of articles named Bug1, Bug2, you can now transclude the 856 list of bug numbers using: {{Special:PrefixIndex/Bug|stripprefix=1}}. 857 The special page form received a new checkbox matching that option. 858 * (bug 23580) Implement javascript callback interface "mw.hook". 859 * (bug 30713) New mw.hook "wikipage.content". 860 * (bug 40430) jquery.placeholder gets a new parameter to set the attribute value 861 to be used. 862 * $wgHTCPMulticastRouting renamed $wgHTCPRouting since it accepts unicast. 863 * $wgHTCPRouting rules can now be passed an array of hosts/ports to send purge 864 too. Can be used whenever several multicast group could be interested by a 865 specific purge. 866 * (bug 25931) Add Special:RandomInCategory. 867 * mediawiki.util: addPortletLink now supports passing a jQuery object as nextnode. 868 * <wbr> can now be used inside WikiText. 869 * WebResponse::setcookie is much more featureful. Callers using PHP's 870 setcookie() or setrawcookie() should begin using this instead. 871 * New hook WebResponseSetCookie, called from WebResponse::setcookie(). 872 * New hook ResetSessionID, called when the session id is reset. 873 * Add a mode parameter to <gallery> tag with potential options of "traditional", 874 "nolines", "packed", "packed-overlay", or "packed-hover". 875 * (bug 47399) A success message is now displayed after changing the password. 876 * Make thumb.php give HTTP redirects for file redirects 877 * (bug 30607) Special:ListFiles can now show old versions of files. Additionally 878 Special:AllMyUploads was introduced so the user can get a list of all things 879 they have ever uploaded, even if it was subsequently overriden. 880 * Introduced Special:MyFiles and Special:AllMyFiles as an alias for Special:MyUploads 881 and Special:AllMyUploads respectively. 882 * IPv6 addresses in X-Forwarded-For headers are now normalised before checking 883 against allowed proxy lists. 884 * Add deferrable update support for callback/closure. 885 * Add TitleMove hook before page renames. 886 * Revision deletion backend code is moved out of SpecialRevisiondelete 887 * Added {{REVISIONSIZE}} variable to get the current size of a revision. 888 * Add support for the LESS stylesheet language to ResourceLoader. LESS is a 889 stylesheet language that compiles into CSS. ResourceLoader file modules may 890 include LESS style files; ResourceLoader will compile these files into CSS 891 before sending them to the client. 892 ** The $wgResourceLoaderLESSVars configuration variable is an associative array 893 mapping variable names to string CSS values. These variables are considered 894 declared for all LESS files. Additional variables may be registered by 895 adding keys to the array. 896 ** $wgResourceLoaderLESSFunctions is an associative array of custom LESS 897 function names to PHP callables. See <http://leafo.net/lessphp/docs/#custom_functions> 898 for more details regarding custom functions. 899 ** $wgResourceLoaderLESSImportPaths is an array of file system paths. Files 900 referenced in LESS '@import' statements are looked up here first. 901 * ResourceLoader supports hashes as module cache invalidation trigger (instead 902 of or in addition to timestamps). 903 * Added $wgExtensionEntryPointListFiles for use in mergeMessageFileList.php. 904 * Added a hook, APIQuerySiteInfoStatisticsInfo, to allow extensions to modify 905 the output of the API query meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics 906 * Primary keys have been added to both the archive table and the externallinks 907 tables. 908 * Added $wgEnableParserLimitReporting to control whether the NewPP limit report is 909 output in a HTML comment. 910 * The 'UnwatchArticle' and 'WatchArticle' hooks now support a Status object 911 instead of just a boolean return value to abort the hook. 912 * Added a hook, SpecialWatchlistGetNonRevisionTypes, to allow extensions 913 with custom recentchanges entries to hook into the Watchlist without 914 clobbering each other. 915 * A hidden, empty input field was added to the edit form, and any edit that fills 916 it in will be rejected. This prevents against the simplest form of spambots. 917 Previously in the "SimpleAntiSpam" extension by Ryan Schmidt. 918 * populateRevisionLength.php maintenance script updated to also populate 919 archive.ar_len field. 920 * (bug 43571) DatabaseMySQLBase learned to list views, optionally filtered by a 921 prefix. Also fixed PHPUnit test suite when using a MySQL backend containing 922 views. 923 924 === Bug fixes in 1.22 === 925 * (bug 47271) $wgContentHandlerUseDB should be set to false during the upgrade 926 * Disable Special:PasswordReset when $wgEnableEmail is false. Previously one 927 could still navigate to the page by entering the URL directly. 928 * (bug 47138) Fixed a fatal error when a blocked user tries to automatically 929 create an account on login due external authentication in some circumstances. 930 * (bug 23393) HTML <hN> headings containing line breaks are now handled 931 correctly. 932 * (bug 45803) Whitespace within == Headline == syntax and within <hN> headings 933 is now non-significant and not preserved in the HTML output. 934 * (bug 47218) Special:BlockList now handles correctly user names with spaces 935 when passed as subpage. 936 * Pager's properly validate which fields are allowed to be sorted on. 937 * mw.util.tooltipAccessKeyRegexp: The regex now matches "option-" as well. 938 Support for Mac "option" was added in 1.16, but the regex was never updated. 939 * (bug 46768) Usernames of blocking users now display correctly, even if numeric. 940 * (bug 39590) Self-transclusions now show the most up to date result always 941 after save instead of being a revision behind. 942 * A bias in wfRandomString() toward digits 1-7 has been corrected. Generated 943 strings will now start with digits 0 and 8-f as often as they should. 944 * (bug 45371) Removed Parser_LinkHooks and CoreLinkFunctions classes. 945 * (bug 41545) Allow <kbd>, <samp>, and <var> to be nested like allowed in html. 946 * PLURAL magic word no longer causes a PHP notice when no matching form exists. 947 * (bug 36641) Patrol page links no longer show on non-existent revisions. 948 * (bug 35810) Pages not linked from Special:RecentChanges or Special:NewPages 949 are patrollable now. 950 * (bug 30213) JavaScript for search suggestions is now disabled when the API 951 is disabled, and AJAX patrolling and watching are now disabled when use of 952 the write API is not allowed. 953 * (bug 48294) API: Fix chunk upload async mode. 954 * (bug 46749) Broken files tracking category removed from pages if an image 955 with that name is uploaded. 956 * (bug 14176) System messages that are empty were previously incorrectly treated 957 as non-existent, causing a fallback to the default. This stopped users from 958 overriding system messages to make them blank. 959 * (bug 48319) action=parse no longer returns an error if passed none of 'oldid', 960 'pageid', 'page', 'title', and 'text' (e.g. if only passed 'summary'). A 961 warning will instead be issued if 'title' is non-default, unless no props are 962 requested. 963 * Special:Recentchangeslinked will now include upload log entries 964 * (bug 41281) Fixed ugly output if file size could not be extracted for multi-page media. 965 * (bug 50315) list=logevents API module will now output log entries by anonymous users. 966 * (bug 38911) Handle headers with rowspan in jquery.tablesorter 967 * (bug 658) Converted the table of contents on wiki pages from <table> to <div> 968 and adjusted skin CSS accordingly. The CSS was carefully crafted to be 969 backwards-compatible in all reasonable cases (uses of the __TOC__ magic word, 970 the #toc CSS id and the .toc CSS class). However, particularly bad abuse of 971 the id or the class can possibly break. 972 * CSSJanus now supports rgb, hsl, rgba, and hsla color syntaxes. 973 * Special:Listfiles can no longer be sorted by image name when filtering 974 by user in miser mode. 975 * (bug 49074) CSSJanus: Handle values of border-radius correctly. 976 * Handle relative inclusions ({{../name}}) in main namespace with subpages 977 enabled correctly (previously MediaWiki tried to include Template:Parent/name 978 instead of just Parent/name). 979 * Added $wgAPIUselessQueryPages to allow extensions to flag their query pages 980 for non-inclusion in ApiQueryQueryPages. 981 * (bug 50870) mediawiki.notification: Notification area should remain visible 982 when scrolled down. 983 * (bug 13438) Special:MIMESearch no longer an expensive special page. 984 * (bug 48342) Fixed a fatal error when $wgValidateAllHtml is set to true and 985 the function apache_request_headers() function is not available. 986 * (bug 33399) LivePreview: Re-run wikipage content handlers 987 (jquery.makeCollapsible, jquery.tablesorter) after preview content is loaded. 988 * (bug 51891) Fixed PHP notice on Special:PagesWithProp when no properties 989 are defined. 990 * (bug 52006) Corrected documentation of $wgTranscludeCacheExpiry. 991 * (bug 52077) The APIEditBeforeSave hook is giving the content of the whole 992 revision as second argument now, rather than just the current section. 993 * (bug 49694) $wgSpamRegex is now also applied on the new section headline text 994 adding a new topic on a page 995 * (bug 41756) Improve treatment of multiple comments on a blank line. 996 * (bug 51064) Purge upstream caches when deleting file assets. 997 * (bug 39012) File types with a mime that we do not know the extension for 998 can no longer be uploaded as an extension that we do know the mime type 999 for. 1000 * (bug 51742) Add data-sort-value for better sorting of hitcounts Special:Tags 1001 * (bug 26811) On DB error pages, server hostnames are now hidden when both 1002 $wgShowHostnames and $wgShowSQLErrors are false. 1003 * (bug 6200) line breaks in <blockquote> are handled like they are in <div> 1004 * (bug 14931) Default character set now set to 'utf8' when a new MySQL 1005 database is created. 1006 * (bug 47191) Fixed "Column 'si_title' cannot be part of FULLTEXT index" 1007 MySQL error when installing using the binary character set option. 1008 * (bug 45288) Support mysqli PHP extension 1009 * (bug 55818) BREAKING CHANGE: Removed undocumented 'Debug' hook in wfDebug. 1010 This resolves an infinite loop when using $wgDebugFunctionEntry = true. 1011 * (bug 56707) Correct tooltip of "Next n results" on query special pages. 1012 * (bug 56770) mw.util.addPortletLink: Check length before access array index. 1013 1014 === API changes in 1.22 === 1015 * (bug 25553) The JSON output formatter now leaves forward slashes unescaped 1016 to improve human readability of URLs and similar strings. Also, a "utf8" 1017 option is now provided to use UTF-8 encoding instead of hex escape codes 1018 for most non-ASCII characters. 1019 * (bug 46626) xmldoublequote parameter was removed. Because of a bug, the 1020 parameter has had no effect since MediaWiki 1.16, and so its removal is 1021 unlikely to impact existing clients. 1022 * (bug 47216) action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=skins will now indicate which 1023 skin is the default and which are unusable (e.g. listed in $wgSkipSkins). 1024 * (bug 25325) Added support for wlshow filtering (bots/anon/minor/patrolled) 1025 to action=feedwatchlist. 1026 * WDDX formatted output will actually be formatted (and normal output will no 1027 longer be), and will no longer choke on booleans. 1028 * action=opensearch no longer silently ignores the format parameter. 1029 * action=opensearch now supports format=jsonfm. 1030 * list=usercontribs&ucprop=ids will now include the parent revision id. 1031 * BREAKING CHANGE: action=parse no longer returns all langlinks for the page 1032 with prop=langlinks by default. The new effectivelanglinks parameter will 1033 request that the LanguageLinks hook be called to determine the effective 1034 language links. 1035 * BREAKING CHANGE: list=allpages, list=langbacklinks, and prop=langlinks do not 1036 apply the new LanguageLinks hook, and thus only consider language links 1037 stored in the database. 1038 * (bug 47219) Allow specifying change type of Wikipedia feed items 1039 * prop=imageinfo now allows setting iiurlheight without setting iiurlwidth 1040 * prop=info now adds the content model and page language of the title. 1041 * New upload log entries will now contain information on the relevant 1042 image (sha1 and timestamp). 1043 * (bug 49239) action=parse now can parse in preview and section preview modes. 1044 * (bug 49259) action=patrol now accepts revision ids. 1045 * (bug 48129) list=blocks&bkip= now correctly handles IPv6 CIDR ranges and 1046 honors $wgBlockCIDRLimit. Note any clients passing invalid values to bkip 1047 will now receive an error, rather than the previous behavior listing all 1048 user blocks. 1049 * (bug 48201) action=parse&text=foo now assumes wikitext if no title is given, 1050 rather than using the content model of the page "API". 1051 * action=watch no longer silently ignores hook abort. 1052 * (bug 50785) action=purge with forcelinkupdate=1 no longer queues refreshLinks 1053 jobs in the job queue for link table updates of pages that use the given page 1054 as a template. Instead, forcerecursivelinkupdate=1 is introduced and should 1055 be used if that behaviour is desirable. 1056 * The 'debugLog' property (enabled by $wgDebugToolbar) no longer sets the log 1057 entry values through ApiResult::content but directly. This changes the JSON 1058 output from an array of objects with content in '*' to an array of strings 1059 with the content. 1060 * (bug 51342) prop=imageinfo iicontinue now contains the dbkey, not the text 1061 version of the title. 1062 * (bug 52538) action=edit will now use empty text instead of the contents 1063 of section 0 when passed prependtext or appendtext with section=new. 1064 * Support for the 'gettoken' parameter to action=block and action=unblock, 1065 deprecated since 1.20, has been removed. 1066 * (bug 49090) Token-getting functions will fail when using jsonp callbacks. 1067 * (bug 52699) action=upload returns normalized file name on warning 1068 "exists-normalized" instead of filename to be uploaded to. 1069 * (bug 53884) action=edit will now return an error when the specified section 1070 does not exist in the page. 1071 * Added meta=filerepoinfo API module for getting information about foreign 1072 file repositories, and related ForeignAPIRepo methods getInfo and getApiUrl. 1073 * The new query module list=allfileusages to enumerate file usages was added. 1074 1075 === Languages updated in 1.22=== 1076 1077 MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated 1078 regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as 1079 changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports. 1080 1081 * Batak Toba (bbc-latn) added. 1082 * (bug 46751) Made Buryat (Russia) (буряад) (bxr) fallback to Russian. 1083 1084 === Other changes in 1.22 === 1085 * BREAKING CHANGE: Implementation of MediaWiki's JS and JSON value encoding 1086 has changed: 1087 ** MediaWiki no longer supports PHP installations in which the native JSON 1088 extension is missing or disabled. 1089 ** XmlJsCode objects can no longer be nested inside objects or arrays. 1090 (For Xml::encodeJsCall(), this individually applies to each argument.) 1091 ** The sets of characters escaped by default, along with the precise escape 1092 sequences used, have changed (except for the Xml::escapeJsString() 1093 function, which is now deprecated). 1094 * BREAKING CHANGE: The Services_JSON class has been removed. If necessary, 1095 be sure to upgrade affected extensions at the same time (e.g. Collection). 1096 * redirect.php was removed. It was unused. 1097 * ClickTracking integration was dropped from the mediaWiki.user.bucket 1098 JavaScript function. The 'tracked' option is now ignored. 1099 * BREAKING CHANGE: Legacy skins Simple, MySkin, Chick, Standard and Nostalgia 1100 were all removed. (Nostalgia was moved to an extension.) The SkinLegacy and 1101 LegacyTemplate classes that supported them were removed as well and are now a 1102 part of the Nostalgia extension. 1103 * Event namespace used by jquery.makeCollapsible has been changed from 1104 'mw-collapse' to 'mw-collapsible' for consistency with the module name. 1105 * BREAKING CHANGE: The "ExternalAuth" authentication subsystem was removed, along 1106 with its associated globals of $wgExternalAuthType, $wgExternalAuthConf, 1107 $wgAutocreatePolicy and $wgAllowPrefChange. Affected users are encouraged to 1108 use AuthPlugin for external authentication/authorization needs. 1109 * The Quickbar feature of the legacy skin model and the last remnants of it 1110 throughout the code base have been removed. 1111 * Externaledit/externaldiff preference was removed. Very few users used this 1112 feature, and improper configuration can actually prevent a user from editing 1113 * Calling Linker methods using a skin will now output deprecation warnings. 1114 * (bug 46680) "Return to" links are no longer tagged with rel="next". 1115 * BREAKING CHANGE: mw.util.tooltipAccessKeyRegexp: The match group for the 1116 accesskey character is now $6 instead of $5. 1117 * HipHop compiler (hphpc) support was removed. HipHop VM support (hhvm) was 1118 added. 1119 * A new Special:Redirect page was added, providing lookup by revision ID, 1120 user ID, or file name. The old Special:Filepath page was reimplemented 1121 to redirect through Special:Redirect. 1122 * Monobook: Removed the old conditional stylesheets for Opera 6, 7 and 9. 1123 * Support for XHTML 1.0 has been removed. MediaWiki now only outputs (X)HTML5. 1124 * wikibits: User-agent related globals have been deprecated. The following 1125 properties now default to false and emit mw.log.warn: is_gecko, is_chrome_mac, 1126 is_chrome, webkit_version, is_safari_win, is_safari, webkit_match, is_ff2, 1127 ff2_bugs, is_ff2_win, is_ff2_x11, opera95_bugs, opera7_bugs, opera6_bugs, 1128 is_opera_95, is_opera_preseven, is_opera, and ie6_bugs. 1129 * (bug 48276) MediaWiki will now flash a confirmation message upon successfully 1130 editing a page. 1131 * (bug 40785) mediawiki.legacy.ajax has been marked as deprecated. The following 1132 properties now emit mw.log.warn when accessed: sajax_debug, sajax_init_object, 1133 sajax_do_call and wfSupportsAjax. 1134 * BREAKING CHANGE: meta keywords are no longer supported. A <meta name="keywords" 1135 will no longer be output and OutputPage::addKeyword no longer exists. 1136 * Methods Title::userCanEditCssSubpage and Title::userCanEditJsSubpage, 1137 deprecated since 1.19, have been removed. 1138 * (bug 50134) Hook functions are no longer required to return a value. When a 1139 hook function does not return a value (or when it returns an explicit null), 1140 processing continues. To abort the hook, a hook function must return an 1141 explicit, boolean false or a string error message. Other falsey values are 1142 tantamount to a 'return true' in earlier versions of MediaWiki. 1143 * BREAKING CHANGE: The EditSectionLink hook was removed after being 1144 deprecated since MediaWiki 1.14. Use DoEditSectionLink instead. 1145 * (bug 48256) The 'editsection-brackets' optional message was removed. 1146 Section edit links' brackets can now be customized using CSS by 1147 styling span.mw-editsection-bracket. 1148 * The usePatrol function in ChangesList has been marked as deprecated. 1149 * (bug 50785) A "null edit", that is, a save action in which no changes to the 1150 page text are made and no revision recorded, will no longer send refreshLinks 1151 jobs to the job table to update pages which use the edited page as a template. 1152 * The LivePreviewPrepare and LivePreviewDone events triggered on "jQuery( mw )" 1153 have been deprecated in favour of using mw.hook. 1154 * The 'showjumplinks' user preference has been removed, jump links are now 1155 always included. 1156 * Methods RecentChange::notifyRC2UDP, RecentChange::sendToUDP, and 1157 RecentChange::cleanupForIRC have been deprecated, as it is now the 1158 responsibility of classes implementing the RCFeedFormatter and RCFeedEngine 1159 interfaces to implement the formatting and delivery for recent change 1160 notifications. 1161 * SpecialPrefixindex methods namespacePrefixForm() and showPrefixChunk() have 1162 been made protected. They were accepting form variance arguments, this is now 1163 using properties in the SpecialPrefixindex class. 1164 * (bug 50310) BREAKING CHANGE: wikibits: Drop support for mwCustomEditButtons. 1165 It defaults to an empty array and emits mw.log.warn when accessed. 1166 * BREAKING CHANGE: Special:Disambiguations has been removed from MediaWiki core. 1167 Functions related to disambiguation pages are now handled by the Disambiguator 1168 extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Disambiguator) (bug 1169 35981). 1170 * BREAKING CHANGE: The 'mediawiki.legacy.wikiprintable' module has been removed. 1171 The skins/common/wikiprintable.css file no longer exists. Return value of 1172 Skin#commonPrintStylesheet is ignored. Please use the 'mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint' 1173 module instead or base your skin on SkinTemplate. 1174 * (bug 49629) The hook ExtractThumbParamaters has been deprecated in favour 1175 of media handler overriding MediaHandler::parseParamString. 1176 * (bug 46512) The collapsibleNav feature from the Vector extension has been moved 1177 to the Vector skin in core. 1178 * SpecialRecentChanges::addRecentChangesJS() function has been renamed 1179 to addModules() and made protected. 1180 * Methods WatchAction::doWatch and WatchAction::doUnwatch now return a Status 1181 object instead of a boolean. 1182 * Information boxes (CSS classes errorbox, warningbox, successbox) have been 1183 made more subtle. 1184 * BREAKING CHANGE: The module 'mediawiki.legacy.IEFixes' has been removed as it was 1185 unused. The file skins/common/IEFixes.js remains but is only used by wikibits. 1186 The file never contained any re-usable components. To use it in a skin, load 1187 'mediawiki.legacy.wikibits' (which IEFixes depends on) and that will import 1188 IEFixes automatically if user agent conditions are met. 1189 * Code specific to the Math extension was marked as deprecated. 1190 * mediawiki.util: mw.util.wikiGetlink has been renamed to getUrl. (The old name 1191 still works, but is deprecated.) 1192 1193 == MediaWiki 1.21 == 1194 1195 == MediaWiki 1.21.11 == 1196 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1197 1198 === Changes since 1.21.10 === 1199 * (bug 65839) SECURITY: Prevent external resources in SVG files. 1200 * (bug 66428) MimeMagic: Don't seek before BOF. This has weird side effects like only extracting the tail of the file partially or not at all. 1201 1202 == MediaWiki 1.21.10 == 1203 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1204 1205 === Changes since 1.21.9 === 1206 * (bug 65501) SECURITY: Don't parse usernames as wikitext on Special:PasswordReset. 1207 * (bug 36356) Add space between two feed links. 1208 1209 == MediaWiki 1.21.9 == 1210 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1211 1212 === Changes since 1.21.8 === 1213 * (bug 63251) SECURITY: Escape sortKey in pageInfo. 1214 * (bug 58640) Fixed a compatibility issue with PCRE 8.34 that caused pages to appear blank or with missing text. 1215 1216 == MediaWiki 1.21.8 == 1217 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1218 1219 === Changes since 1.21.7 === 1220 * (bug 62497) SECURITY: Add CSRF token on Special:ChangePassword. 1221 * (bug 62467) Set a title for the context during import on the cli. 1222 1223 == MediaWiki 1.21.7 == 1224 This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1225 1226 === Changes since 1.21.6 === 1227 * Use the correct branch of the extensions' git repositories. 1228 1229 == MediaWiki 1.21.6 == 1230 This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1231 1232 === Changes since 1.21.5 === 1233 * (bug 60771) SECURITY: Disallow uploading SVG files using non-whitelisted namespaces. Also disallow iframe elements. * User will get an error including the namespace name if they use a non- whitelisted namespace. 1234 * (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. 1235 * (bug 61362) SECURITY: API: Don't find links in the middle of api.php links. 1236 1237 == MediaWiki 1.21.5 == 1238 This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1239 1240 === Changes since 1.21.4 === 1241 * (bug 60339) SECURITY: Sanitize shell arguments to DjVu files, and other media formats 1242 1243 == MediaWiki 1.21.4 == 1244 This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1245 1246 === Changes since 1.21.3 === 1247 * (bug 57550) SECURITY: Disallow stylesheets in SVG Uploads 1248 * (bug 58088) SECURITY: Don't normalize U+FF3C to \ in CSS Checks 1249 * (bug 58472) SECURITY: Disallow -o-link in styles 1250 * (bug 58553) SECURITY: Return error on invalid XML for SVG Uploads 1251 * (bug 58699) SECURITY: Fix RevDel log entry information leaks 1252 1253 == MediaWiki 1.21.3 == 1254 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1255 1256 === Changes since 1.21.2 === 1257 * (bug 53032) SECURITY: Don't cache when a call could autocreate 1258 * (bug 55332) SECURITY: Improve css javascript detection 1259 * (bug 49717) Fix behaviour $wgVerifyMimeType = false; in Upload 1260 * Fix comma errors in various js files 1261 * Translations 1262 1263 == MediaWiki 1.21.2 == 1264 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.21 branch. 1265 1266 === Changes since 1.21.1 === 1267 * SECURITY: Fix extension detection with 2 .'s 1268 * SECURITY: Support for the 'gettoken' parameter to action=block and action=unblock, deprecated since 1.20, has been removed. 1269 * SECURITY: Sanitize ResourceLoader exception messages 1270 * Purge upstream caches when deleting file assets. 1271 * Unit test suite now runs the AutoLoader tests.

Use $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'realname' 1284 instead. 1285 * (bug 39957) Added $wgUnwatchedPageThreshold, specifying minimum count 1286 of page watchers required for the number to be accessible to users 1287 without the unwatchedpages permission. 1288 * $wgBug34832TransitionalRollback has been removed. 1289 * (bug 29472) $wgUseDynamicDates has been removed and its functionality 1290 disabled. 1291 1292 === New features in 1.21 === 1293 * (bug 38110) Schema changes (adding or dropping tables, indices and 1294 fields) can be now be done separately from from other changes that 1295 update.php makes. This is useful in environments that use database 1296 permissions to restrict schema changes but allow the DB user that 1297 MediaWiki normally runs as to perform other changes that update.php 1298 makes. Schema changes can be run separately. See the file UPGRADE 1299 for more information. 1300 * (bug 34876) jquery.makeCollapsible has been improved in performance. 1301 * Added ContentHandler facility to allow extensions to support other content 1302 than wikitext. See docs/contenthandler.txt for details. 1303 * New feature was developed for showing high-DPI thumbnails for high-DPI mobile 1304 and desktop displays (configurable with $wgResponsiveImages). 1305 * Added new backend to represent and store information about sites and site 1306 specific configuration. 1307 * jQuery upgraded from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3. 1308 * jQuery UI upgraded from 1.8.23 to 1.8.24. 1309 * Added separate fa_sha1 field to filearchive table. This allows sha1 1310 searches with the api in miser mode for deleted files. 1311 * Add initial and programmatic sorting for tablesorter. 1312 * Add the event "sortEnd.tablesorter", triggered after sorting has completed. 1313 * The Job system was refactored to allow for different backing stores for 1314 queues as well as cross-wiki access to queues, among other things. The schema 1315 for the DB queue was changed to support better concurrency and reduce 1316 deadlock errors. 1317 * Added ApiQueryORM class to facilitate creation of query API modules based on 1318 tables that have a corresponding ORMTable class. 1319 * (bug 40876) Icon for PSD (Adobe Photoshop) file types. 1320 * (bug 40641) Implemented Special:Version/Credits with a list of contributors. 1321 * (bug 7851) Implemented one-click AJAX patrolling. 1322 * The <data>, <time>, <meta>, and <link> elements are allowed within WikiText 1323 for use with Microdata. 1324 * The HTML5 <mark> tag has been whitelisted. 1325 * Added ParserCloned hook for when the Parser object is cloned. 1326 * Added AlternateEditPreview hook to allow extensions to replace the page 1327 preview from the edit page. 1328 * Added EditPage::showStandardInputs:options hook to allow extensions to add 1329 new fields to the "editOptions" area of the edit form. 1330 * Upload stash DB schema altered to improve upload performance. 1331 * The following global functions are now reporting deprecated warnings in 1332 debug mode: wfMsg, wfMsgNoTrans, wfMsgForContent, wfMsgForContentNoTrans, 1333 wfMsgReal, wfMsgGetKey, wfMsgHtml, wfMsgWikiHtml, wfMsgExt, wfEmptyMsg. Use 1334 the Message class, or the global method wfMessage. 1335 * Added $wgEnableCanonicalServerLink, off by default. If enabled, a 1336 <link rel=canonical> tag is added to every page indicating the correct server 1337 to use. 1338 * Debug message emitted by wfDebugLog() will now be prefixed with the group 1339 name when its logged to the default log file. That is the case whenever the 1340 group has no key in wgDebugLogGroups, that will help triage the default log. 1341 * (bug 24620) Add types to LogFormatter. 1342 * jQuery JSON upgraded from 2.3 to 2.4.0. 1343 * Added GetDoubleUnderscoreIDs hook, for modifying the list of magic words. 1344 * DatabaseUpdater class has two new methods to ease extensions schema changes: 1345 dropExtensionIndex and renameExtensionIndex. 1346 * New preference type - 'api'. Preferences of this type are not shown on 1347 Special:Preferences, but are still available via the action=options API. 1348 * (bug 39397) Hide rollback link if a user is the only contributor of the page. 1349 * $wgPageInfoTransclusionLimit limits the list size of transcluded articles 1350 on the info action. Default is 50. 1351 * Added action=createaccount to allow user account creation. 1352 * (bug 40124) action=options API also allows for setting of arbitrary 1353 preferences, provided that their names are prefixed with 'userjs-'. This 1354 officially reenables the feature that was undocumented and defective 1355 in MW 1.20 (saving preferences using Special:Preferences cleared any 1356 additional fields) and which has been disabled in 1.20.1 as a part of 1357 a security fix (bug 42202). 1358 * Added option to specify "others" as author in extension credits using 1359 "..." as author name. 1360 * Added the ability to limit the wall clock time used by shell processes, 1361 as well as the CPU time. Configurable with $wgMaxShellWallClockTime. 1362 * Allow memory of shell subprocesses to be limited using Linux cgroups 1363 instead of ulimit -v, which tends to cause deadlocks in recent versions 1364 of ImageMagick. Configurable with $wgShellCgroup. 1365 * Added $wgWhitelistReadRegexp for regex whitelisting. 1366 * (bug 5346) Categories that are redirects will be displayed italic in 1367 the category links section at the bottom of a page. 1368 * (bug 43915) New maintenance script deleteEqualMessages.php. 1369 * You can now create checkbox option matrices through the HTMLCheckMatrix 1370 subclass in HTMLForm. 1371 * WikiText now permits the use of WAI-ARIA's role="presentation" inside of 1372 html elements and tables. This allows presentational markup, especially 1373 tables. To be marked up as such. 1374 * maintenance/sql.php learned the --cluster option. Let you run the script 1375 on some external cluster instead of the primary cluster for a given wiki. 1376 * (bug 20281) test the parsing of inline URLs. 1377 * Added Special:PagesWithProp, which lists pages using a particular page property. 1378 * Implemented language-specific collations for category sorting for 67 languages 1379 based in latin, greek and cyrillic alphabets. This allows one to *finally* get 1380 articles to be correctly sorted on category pages. They are named 1381 'uca-<langcode>', where <langcode> is one of: af, ast, az, be, bg, br, bs, ca, 1382 co, cs, cy, da, de, dsb, el, en, eo, es, et, eu, fi, fo, fr, fur, fy, ga, gd, 1383 gl, hr, hsb, hu, is, it, kk, kl, ku, ky, la, lb, lt, lv, mk, mo, mt, nl, no, 1384 oc, pl, pt, rm, ro, ru, rup, sco, sk, sl, smn, sq, sr, sv, tk, tl, tr, tt, uk, 1385 uz, vi. 1386 * Added 'CategoryAfterPageAdded' and 'CategoryAfterPageRemoved' hooks. 1387 * Added 'HistoryRevisionTools' and 'DiffRevisionTools' hooks. 1388 * Added 'SpecialSearchResultsPrepend' and 'SpecialSearchResultsAppend' hooks. 1389 * (bug 33186) Add image rotation api "imagerotate" 1390 * (bug 34040) Add "User rights management" link on user page toolbox. 1391 * (bug 45526) Add QUnit assertion helper "QUnit.assert.htmlEqual" for asserting 1392 structual equality of HTML (ignoring insignificant differences like 1393 quotmarks, order and whitespace in the attribute list). 1394 * (bug 23393) HTML <hN> headings containing line breaks are now handled 1395 correctly. 1396 * (bug 45803) Whitespace within == Headline == syntax and within <hN> headings 1397 is now non-significant and not preserved in the HTML output. 1398 1399 === Bug fixes in 1.21 === 1400 * (bug 40353) SpecialDoubleRedirect should support interwiki redirects. 1401 * (bug 40352) fixDoubleRedirects.php should support interwiki redirects. 1402 * (bug 9237) SpecialBrokenRedirect should not list interwiki redirects. 1403 * (bug 34960) Drop unused fields rc_moved_to_ns and rc_moved_to_title from 1404 recentchanges table. 1405 * (bug 32951) Do not register internal externals with absolute protocol, 1406 when server has relative protocol. 1407 * (bug 39005) When purging proxies listed in $wgSquidServers using HTTP PURGE 1408 method requests, we now send a Host header by default, for Varnish 1409 compatibility. This also works with Squid in reverse-proxy mode. If you wish 1410 to support Squid configured in forward-proxy mode, set 1411 $wgSquidPurgeUseHostHeader to false. 1412 * (bug 37020) sql.php with readline eats semicolon. 1413 * (bug 11748) Properly handle optionally-closed HTML tags when Tidy is 1414 disabled, and don't wrap HTML-syntax definition lists in paragraphs. 1415 * (bug 41409) Diffs while editing an old revision should again diff against the 1416 current revision. 1417 * (bug 41494) Honor $wgLogExceptionBacktrace when logging non-API exceptions 1418 caught during API execution. 1419 * (bug 37963) Fixed loading process for user options. 1420 * (bug 26995) Update filename field on Upload page after having sanitized it. 1421 * (bug 41793) Contribution links to users with 0 edits on Special:ListUsers 1422 didn't show up red. 1423 * (bug 41899) A PHP notice no longer occurs when using the "rvcontinue" API 1424 parameter. 1425 * (bug 42036) Account creation emails now contain canonical (not 1426 protocol-relative) URLs. 1427 * (bug 41990) Fix regression: API edit with redirect=true and lacking 1428 starttimestamp and basetimestamp should not cause an edit conflict. 1429 * (bug 41706) EditPage: Preloaded page should be converted if possible and 1430 needed. 1431 * (bug 41886) Rowspans are no longer exploded by tablesorter until the table is 1432 actually sorted. 1433 * (bug 2865) User interface HTML elements don't use lang attribute. 1434 (completed the fix by adding the lang attribute to firstHeading). 1435 * (bug 42173) Removed namespace prefixes on Special:UncategorizedCategories. 1436 * (bug 36053) Log in "returnto" feature forgets query parameters if no 1437 title parameter was specified. 1438 * (bug 42410) API action=edit now returns correct timestamp for the new edit. 1439 * (bug 14901) Email notification mistakes log action for new page creation. 1440 Enotif no longer sends "page has been created" notifications for some log 1441 actions. The following events now have a correct message: page creation, 1442 deletion, move, restore (undeletion), change (edit). Parameter 1443 $CHANGEDORCREATED is deprecated in 'enotif_body' and scheduled for removal in 1444 MediaWiki 1.23. 1445 * (bug 457) In the sidebar of Vector, CologneBlue, Monobook, and Monobook-based 1446 skins, the heading levels have been changed from (variously per skin) 1447 <h4>, <h5> or <h6> to only <h3>s, with a <h2> hidden heading above them. 1448 If you are styling or scripting the headings in a custom way, this change 1449 will require updates to your site's CSS or JS. 1450 * (bug 41342) jquery.suggestions should cancel any active (async) fetches 1451 before it triggers another fetch. 1452 * (bug 42184) $wgUploadSizeWarning missing second variable. 1453 * (bug 34581) removeUnusedAccounts.php maintenance script now ignores newuser 1454 log when determining whether an account is used. 1455 * (bug 43379) Gracefully fail if rev_len is unavailable for a revision on the 1456 History page. 1457 * (bug 42949) API no longer assumes all exceptions are MWException. 1458 * (bug 41733) Hide "New user message" (.usermessage) element from printable view. 1459 * (bug 39062) Special:Contributions will display changes that don't have 1460 a parent id instead of just an empty bullet item. 1461 * (bug 37209) "LinkCache doesn't currently know about this title" error fixed. 1462 * wfMerge() now works if $wgDiff3 contains spaces 1463 * (bug 43052) mediawiki.action.view.dblClickEdit.dblClickEdit should trigger 1464 ca-edit click instead opening URL directly. 1465 * (bug 43964) Invalid value of "link" parameter in <gallery> no longer produces 1466 a fatal error. 1467 * (bug 44775) The username field is not pre-filled when creating an account. 1468 * (bug 45069) wfParseUrl() no longer produces a PHP notice if passed a "mailto:" 1469 URL without address 1470 * (bug 45012) Creating an account by e-mail can no longer show a 1471 "password mismatch" error. 1472 * (bug 44599) On Special:Version, HEADs for submodule checkouts (e.g. for 1473 extensions) performed using Git 1.7.8+ should now appear. 1474 * (bug 42184) $wgUploadSizeWarning missing second variable 1475 * (bug 40326) Check if files exist with a different extension during uploading 1476 * (bug 34798) Updated CSS for Atom/RSS recent changes feeds to match on-wiki diffs. 1477 * (bug 42430) Calling numRows on MySQL no longer propagates unrelated errors. 1478 * (bug 44719) Removed mention of non-existing maintenance/migrateCurStubs.php 1479 script in includes/DefaultSettings.php 1480 * (bug 45143) jquery.badge: Treat non-Latin variants of zero as zero as well. 1481 * (bug 46151) mwdocgen.php should not ignore exit code of doxygen command. 1482 * (bug 41889) Fix $.tablesorter rowspan exploding for complex cases. 1483 1484 === API changes in 1.21 === 1485 * prop=revisions can now report the contentmodel and contentformat. 1486 See docs/contenthandler.txt. 1487 * action=edit and action=parse now support contentmodel and contentformat 1488 parameters to control the interpretation of page content. 1489 See docs/contenthandler.txt for details. 1490 * (bug 35693) ApiQueryImageInfo now suppresses errors when unserializing metadata. 1491 * (bug 40111) Disable minor edit for page/section creation by API. 1492 * (bug 41042) Revert change to action=parse&page=... behavior when the page 1493 does not exist. 1494 * (bug 27202) Add timestamp sort to list=allimages. 1495 * (bug 43137) Don't return the sha1 of revisions through the API if the content is 1496 revision-deleted. 1497 * ApiQueryImageInfo now also returns imageinfo for redirects. 1498 * list=alltransclusions added to enumerate every instance of page embedding 1499 * list=alllinks & alltransclusions now allow both 'from' and 'continue' in 1500 the same query. When both are present, 'from' is simply ignored. 1501 * list=alllinks & alltransclusions now allow 'unique' in generators, to yield 1502 a list of all link/template target pages instead of source pages. 1503 * BREAKING CHANGE: list=logevents output format changed for details of some log 1504 types. Specifically, details that were formerly reported under a key like 1505 "4::foo" will now be reported under a key of simply "foo". 1506 * BREAKING CHANGE: '??_badcontinue' error code was changed to '??badcontinue' 1507 for all query modules. 1508 * ApiQueryBase adds 'badcontinue' error code if module has 'continue' parameter. 1509 * (bug 35885) Removed version parameter and all getVersion() methods. 1510 * action=options now takes a "resetkinds" option, which allows only resetting 1511 certain types of preferences when the "reset" option is set. 1512 * (bug 36751) ApiQueryImageInfo now returns imageinfo for the redirect target 1513 when queried with &redirects=. 1514 * (bug 31849) ApiQueryImageInfo no longer gets confused when asked for info on 1515 a redirect and its target. 1516 * (bug 43849) ApiQueryImageInfo no longer throws exceptions with ForeignDBRepo 1517 redirects. 1518 * On error, any warnings generated before that error will be shown in the result. 1519 * action=help supports generalized submodules (modules=query+value), querymodules obsolete 1520 * ApiQueryImageInfo continuation is more reliable. The only major change is 1521 that the imagerepository property will no longer be set on page objects not 1522 processed in the current query (i.e. non-images or those skipped due to 1523 iicontinue). 1524 * Add supports for all pageset capabilities - generators, redirects, converttitles to 1525 action=purge and action=setnotificationtimestamp. 1526 * (bug 43251) prop=pageprops&ppprop= now accepts multiple props to query. 1527 * ApiQueryImageInfo will now limit the number of calls to File::transform made 1528 in any one query. If there are too many, iicontinue will be returned. 1529 * action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general will now return the regexes used for 1530 link trails and link prefixes. Added for Parsoid support. 1531 * Added an API query module list=pageswithprop, which lists pages using a 1532 particular page property. 1533 * Added an API query module list=pagepropnames, which lists all page prop names 1534 currently in use on the wiki. 1535 * (bug 44921) ApiMain::execute() will now return after the CORS check for an 1536 HTTP OPTIONS request. 1537 * (bug 44923) action=upload works correctly if the entire file is uploaded in 1538 the first chunk. 1539 * Added 'continue=' parameter to streamline client iteration over complex query results 1540 * (bug 44909) API parameters may now be marked as type "upload", which is now 1541 used for action=upload's 'file' and 'chunk' parameters. This type will raise 1542 an error during parameter validation if the parameter is given but not 1543 recognized as an uploaded file. 1544 * (bug 44244) prop=info may now return the number of people watching each page. 1545 * (bug 33304) list=allpages will no longer return duplicate entries when 1546 querying protection. 1547 * (bug 33304) list=allpages will now find really old indefinite protections. 1548 * (bug 45937) meta=allmessages will report a syntactically invalid lang as a 1549 proper error instead of as an uncaught exception. 1550 * (bug 25325) added support for wlshow filtering (bots/anon/minor/patrolled) 1551 to action=feedwatchlist 1552 * WDDX formatted output will actually be formatted (and normal output will no 1553 longer be), and will no longer choke on booleans. 1554 1555 === API internal changes in 1.21 === 1556 * For debugging only, a new global $wgDebugAPI removes many API restrictions when true. 1557 Never use on the production servers, as this flag introduces security holes. 1558 Whenever enabled, a warning will also be added to all output. 1559 * ApiModuleManager now handles all submodules (actions,props,lists) and instantiation 1560 * Query stores prop/list/meta as submodules 1561 * ApiPageSet can now be used in any action to process titles/pageids/revids or any generator. 1562 * BREAKING CHANGE: ApiPageSet constructor now has two params instead of three, with only the 1563 first one keeping its meaning. ApiPageSet is now derived from ApiBase. 1564 * BREAKING CHANGE: ApiQuery::newGenerator() and executeGeneratorModule() were deleted. 1565 * ApiQueryGeneratorBase::setGeneratorMode() now requires a pageset param. 1566 * $wgAPIGeneratorModules is now obsolete and will be ignored. 1567 * Added flags ApiResult::OVERRIDE and ADD_ON_TOP to setElement() and addValue() 1568 * Internal API calls will now include <warnings> in case of unused parameters 1569 1570 === Languages updated in 1.21 === 1571 1572 MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated 1573 regularly.

Metadata support has been generally 2741 improved, and can now extract IPTC and XMP metadata. 2742 2743 * Improved directionality support in 1.18 means that MediaWiki is better to use for 2744 RTL users. 2745 2746 * MediaWiki now supports protocol - relative URLs in links, interwiki targets and $wgServer 2747 2748 * Math support has been removed from core 2749 2750 === Changes since 1.18.0rc1 === 2751 * (bug 32228) regression in Special:Search which did not conserve profile on new search 2752 * (bug 32460) Categories were improperly aligned in Simple and CologneBlue 2753 * (bug 32412) TOC links on [[Special:EditWatchlist]] points to the fieldsets 2754 * (bug 32582) Fix TOC show/hide link regression on IE 8 2755 2756 === Changes since 1.18 beta 1 === 2757 * (bug 31886) Wrong titles redirecting to Special:Badtitle in the 1.18 deployment. 2758 * (bug 32051) Fix description for wlprop=sizes. 2759 * (bug 31913) Special:MostLinkedTemplates had an incorrect GROUP BY clause 2760 under Microsoft SQL. 2761 * (bug 32100) installer complains about suhosin GET limit. 2762 * (bug 31933) fix 1.18 regression in Monobook sidebar: huge spacing between portlets 2763 on IE 7 and IE 8/9 in compatibility view. 2764 * (bug 32126) Fix 1.18 regression in watchlist editor when items already removed 2765 from watchlist. 2766 * (bug 32183) remove the client-* classes added from user-agent-sniffing onto 2767 the <html> element. 2768 * (bug 29912) Unit tests break if parsertest tables are still present. 2769 * (bug 31694) During installation, tabbing order (cursor focus) goes to logo 2770 instead of 'continue'. 2771 * (bug 29102) Upgrade fails "Unknown character set: 'mysql4". 2772 * (bug 31990) justify paragraphs pref adds extra space to category listing. 2773 * (bug 20148) Better title for [[Special:Disambiguations]] page. 2774 * (bug 31502) TOC is missing on Special:EditWatchlist. 2775 * (bug 32256) API list=search stops at first invalid result. 2776 * (bug 32047) jquery.tablesorter.js: thead is before caption. 2777 * (bug 29854) Store protocol-relative links twice in the externallinks table, 2778 one with http: in el_index and once with https. 2779 * (bug 31822) Error during upgrade due to output buffer reset in stdout. 2780 2781 === Configuration changes in 1.18 === 2782 * The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with 2783 WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions. 2784 * The SkinTemplateBuildContentActionUrlsAfterSpecialPage, 2785 SkinTemplateContentActions and SkinTemplateTabs hooks have been removed in 2786 favor of SkinTemplateNavigation and SkinTemplateNavigation::SpecialPage. 2787 * $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined 2788 login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login 2789 and create account links. 2790 * Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in 2791 $wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for 2792 $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try 2793 loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook. 2794 * $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit 2795 per upload type. 2796 * $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set 2797 $wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0; 2798 * OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed 2799 by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false. 2800 * Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins 2801 should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate. 2802 * The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old 2803 Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with 2804 $wgLegacyEncoding set. 2805 * (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we 2806 look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage. 2807 * $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed. 2808 Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the 2809 same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to 2810 replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality. 2811 * The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box 2812 makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation" 2813 and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk 2814 edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block 2815 anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings 2816 remain the same. 2817 * Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which 2818 will probably break screen-scraping bots. 2819 * (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default. 2820 $wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default. 2821 * (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least 2822 *appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the 2823 ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the 2824 output. 2825 * (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable 2826 math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from 2827 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php: 2828 require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"; 2829 * $wgProfiler is now a configuration array, see StartProfiler.sample for 2830 details. 2831 * $wgProfiling has been removed. 2832 * The spyc library is now no longer included in phase3. 2833 * (bug 28343) Unused preferences contextlines/contextchars have been removed 2834 * $wgSkinExtensionFunctions has been removed. Use $wgExtensionFunctions instead. 2835 * $wgProto has been removed. You now only need to set $wgServer to change the 2836 URL protocol. 2837 * $wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups (deprecated in 1.13) has been removed. 2838 * $wgInputEncoding and $wgOutputEncoding (deprecated in 1.5) have now been removed. 2839 * $wgAllowUserSkin (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed. 2840 * $wgExtraRandompageSQL (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed. 2841 * LogReader and LogViewer classes (deprecated in 1.14) have now been removed. 2842 * (bug 26033) Added $wgArticleCountMethod to select the method to use to say 2843 whether a page is an article or not. $wgUseCommaCount is now deprecated. 2844 * $wgEnableDublinCoreRdf and $wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf no longer work in core, 2845 and the functionality has been moved to the relevant extensions. See 2846 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DublinCoreRdf and 2847 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CreativeCommonsRdf as appropriate. 2848 * (bug 21107) Split error "customcssjsprotected" into separate messages for JS and CSS 2849 * Removed $wgCheckCopyrightUpload from DefaultSettings, since the relevant feature 2850 was removed in about 1.5. 2851 * LogPageValidTypes, LogPageLogName, LogPageLogHeader and LogPageActionText 2852 hooks have been removed. 2853 * New hook "Collation::factory" to allow extensions to create custom 2854 category collations. 2855 * $wgGroupPermissions now supports per namespace permissions. 2856 * $wgEnableAutoRotation enables or disables auto-rotation. Leaving it set to 2857 null will cause MediaWiki to determine if auto-rotation is available. 2858 2859 === New features in 1.18 === 2860 * BREAKING CHANGE: action=watch / action=unwatch now requires a token. 2861 * BREAKING CHANGE: Article class hierarchy split into WikiPage (backend). 2862 and Article (frontend) hierarchies. Several hooks now pass a WikiPage object instead 2863 of an Article object. These hooks all use an $article paramater as documented in hooks.txt. 2864 Extensions should be updated to account for this, though most won't require any changes. 2865 * (bug 27860) Minor edit after clicking 'new section' tab 2866 Now the "This is a minor edit" checkbox is not available when you 2867 create a page or new section. 2868 * (bug 8130) Query pages should limit to content namespaces, not just main 2869 namespace. 2870 * Special:Contribs now redirects to Special:Contributions. 2871 * (bug 6672) Images are now autorotated according to their EXIF orientation. 2872 This only affects thumbnails; the source remains unrotated. 2873 * (bug 25708) Update case mappings and normalization to Unicode 6.0.0. 2874 * New hook ArticlePrepareTextForEdit added, called when preparing text to be 2875 saved. 2876 * New parser option PreSaveTransform added, allows the pre-save transformation 2877 to be selectively disabled. 2878 * Alternative to $wgHooks implemented, using the new Hooks class. 2879 * Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a 2880 thumbnail. 2881 * (bug 26870) Add size to {{filepath:}}. 2882 * Upload warnings now show a thumbnail of the uploaded file. 2883 * Introduced the edittools-upload message, which will be inserted under the 2884 upload form instead of edittools if available. 2885 * (bug 26285) Extensions will be automatically generated on upload if the user 2886 specified a filename without extension. 2887 * (bug 26851) Special:UserRights now allows to prefill the reason field 2888 * New maintenance script to fix double redirects 2889 (maintenance/fixDoubleRedirects.php). 2890 * (bug 23315) New body classes to allow easier styling of special pages. 2891 * (bug 27159) Make email confirmation code expiration time configurable. 2892 * (bug 29047) CSS/JS for each user group is imported from MediaWiki:Group-sysop.js, 2893 MediaWiki:Group-autoconfirmed.css, etc. 2894 * (bug 24230) Uploads of ZIP types, such as MS Office or OpenOffice can now be 2895 safely enabled. A ZIP file reader was added which can scan a ZIP file for 2896 potentially dangerous Java applets. This allows applets to be blocked 2897 specifically, rather than all ZIP files being blocked. 2898 * (bug 2429) Allow selection of associated namespace in recent changes. 2899 * (bug 26217) File size is now checked before uploading in HTML5 browsers. 2900 * CSS stylesheet MediaWiki:Noscript.css is now loaded for users with JavaScript 2901 disabled (enclosed in the head in a <noscript> tag). 2902 * Added UserGetLanguageObject hook to change the language used in $wgLang. 2903 * (bug 14645) When $wgMiserMode is on, expensive special pages are styled 2904 differently (italicized by default) on Special:SpecialPages. 2905 * Added $wgAggregateStatsID, which allows UDP stats to be aggregated over 2906 several wikis. 2907 * When $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes is true, all itemtypes are allowed, not just 2908 the three that were defined in the original specification. 2909 * (bug 14706) Added support for the Imagick PHP extension. 2910 * (bug 18691) Added support for SVG rasterization using the Imagick PHP 2911 extension. 2912 * (bug 2581, bug 6834) Added links to thumbnail in several resolutions to the 2913 file description page. The sizes are set by $wgImageLimits. 2914 * (bug 28031) Add pageCount support to ArchivedFile. 2915 * (bug 27924) PhpHttpRequest doesn't return response body if HTTP != 200. 2916 * Added hook BitmapHandlerTransform to allow extension to transform a file 2917 without overriding the entire handler. 2918 * The parser now attempts to output markers for editsection tokens and defer the 2919 rendering of them post-cache to reduce parser cache fragmentation and ensure 2920 skin customizability of edit section links. 2921 * (bug 24755) AuthPlugin auto-creation of local accounts can now be aborted by 2922 other extensions by handling the 'AbortAutoAccount' hook, similar to the 2923 'AbortNewAccount' triggered by explicit account creations. (They are separate 2924 to avoid loops and confusion; auth plugins like CentralAuth need to handle 2925 AbortNewAccount separately. 2926 * Special:ListFiles is now transcludable. 2927 * (bug 13879) Special:Emailuser asks for suitable target user if called without. 2928 * (bug 16956) IPTC and XMP metadata now extracted from images. 2929 * (bug 23816) A tracking category is now added for any pages with broken images. 2930 * (bug 23495) Allow createAndPromote.php to create non-sysop users. 2931 * (bug 28916) A way to to toggle mw.config legacy globals settings from 2932 LocalSettings.php has been created by introducing $wgLegacyJavaScriptGlobals. 2933 * (bug 28503) Support for ircs:// URL protocols. 2934 * (bug 26033) It is now possible to count all non-redirect pages in content 2935 namespaces as articles. 2936 * Images can now be embedded in an XML dump stream using backupDump.php 2937 --include-files and can be imported using importDump.php --uploads; 2938 furthermore, it can import files from the filesystem using --image-base-path. 2939 * Three new hooks in Special:Undelete, 'UndeleteForm::showHistory', 2940 'UndeleteForm::showRevision' and 'UndeleteForm::undelete', so that extensions 2941 may override the usage of PageArchive class and replace it with their own 2942 class that extends PageArchive. 2943 * (bug 28915) Implement QUnit test suite for MediaWiki JavaScript. 2944 Also built-in support for distribution through a TestSwarm instance. 2945 * (bug 29036) For cascade-protected pages, the mw-textarea-cprotected class is 2946 added to the textarea on the edit form. 2947 * mw.util.wikiScript has been implemented (like wfScript in GlobalFunctions.php) 2948 * (bug 29067) Expose user.tokens (like we do user.options) in ResourceLoader. 2949 * New 'Debug' hook used by wfDebug() and wfDebugLog(). 2950 * (bug 27655) Require token for watching/unwatching pages) 2951 * (bug 28904) (bug 29773) Update jQuery version from 1.4.4 to 1.6.2 (the latest version) 2952 * (bug 29441) Expose CapitalLinks config in JS to allow modules to properly 2953 handle titles on case-sensitive wikis. 2954 * (bug 29397) Implement mw.Title module in core. 2955 * In MySQL 4.1.9+ with replication enabled, fetch the slave lag from SHOW SLAVE 2956 STATUS instead of SHOW PROCESSLIST. This ensures that lag is reported 2957 correctly in the case where there are no write events occurring. Note that 2958 the DB user now needs to have the REPLICATION CLIENT privilege if you are 2959 using replication. 2960 * Language codes in $wgDummyLanguageCodes are now excluded on localization 2961 statistics (maintenance/language/transstat.php). 2962 * (bug 29586) Make the (next 200) links on categories link directly to 2963 the relevant section of the category. 2964 * (bug 29109) Allow the automatic edit summary for redirect creation 2965 show the first bit of the new redirect page. 2966 * (bug 29723) mw.util.wikiGetlink() now defaults to wgPageName. 2967 * (bug 29680) Add GetDefaultSortkey hook to override the default sortkey. 2968 * (bug 16699) {{#language:}} accepts second parameter to specify the language in 2969 which the language name is wanted.

Many localisations are updated 3410 regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as 3411 changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports. 3412 3413 * Angika (anp) (new). 3414 * Brahui (brh) (new). 3415 * Central Dusun (dtp) (new). 3416 * Jamaican Creole English (jam) (new). 3417 * Khowar (khw) (new). 3418 * Liv (liv) (new). 3419 * Kichwa (qug) (new). 3420 * Tokipona (tp) (removed) 'tokipona' is still valid. 3421 * (bug 17160) Gender specific display text for User namespace. 3422 * Link trail added for sl and sh. 3423 * (bug 27633) Add characters to linkTrail for Portuguese (pt and pt-br). 3424 * (bug 27426) Set $namespaceGenderAliases for Arabic (ar). 3425 * (bug 27385) Set Polish $namespaceGenderAliases. 3426 * (bug 27681) Set $namespaceGenderAliases for Portuguese (pt and pt-br). 3427 * (bug 27785) Fallback language for Kabardian (kbd) is English now. 3428 * (bug 27825) Raw watchlist edit message now uses formatted numbers. 3429 * (bug 28040) Turkish: properly lower case 'I' to 'i' (dotless i) and 3430 uppercase 'i' to 'I' (dotted i). 3431 * Conversion script between Syllabics and Latin for the Inuktitut language. 3432 * Date formats for Indonesian (id) updated. 3433 * Bhojpuri (bho) (renamed from "bh"). 3434 * (bug 29031) When translating block log entries, indefinite, infinite, and 3435 infinity are now considered the same. 3436 * Aromanian (rup) (renamed from "rua-rup"). 3437 * Kashmiri (ks) split into Kashmiri (Perso-Arabic) (ks-arab) and Kashmiri 3438 (Devanagari) (ks-deva). Defaults to ks-arab. 3439 * (bug 30864) Use bengali numerals for <ol> for Assamese. 3440 * (bug 30817) Restored linktrail for kk (Kazakh). 3441 * (bug 27398) Add $wgExtraGenderNamespaces for configured gendered namespaces. 3442 * (bug 30846) New LanguageOs class. 3443 3444 === Other changes in 1.18 === 3445 * Removed legacy wgAjaxWatch javascript global object, no longer in use. 3446 * (bug 28556) Upload support for MacBinary files has been removed (Used by 3447 Internet Explorer 5 for Mac OS 9). 3448 * On wiki farm setups using $wgConf, 'wgCanonicalServer' is now expected to be 3449 set for all wikis. This was already the case for 'wgServer'. 3450 3451 == MediaWiki 1.17 == 3452 3453 == MediaWiki 1.17.5 == 3454 2012-06-12 3455 3456 This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.17 branch. 3457 3458 === Summary of selected changes in 1.17 === 3459 3460 Selected changes since MediaWiki 1.16 that may be of interest: 3461 3462 * A new installer has been introduced. It has a wizard-style interface which is 3463 translated into many languages. Many shortcomings in the old installer were 3464 addressed with this rewrite. Note that it is no longer required for the config 3465 directory to be made writable by the webserver. Instead the generated 3466 LocalSettings.php file is offered as a download, which you must then upload 3467 to the wiki's base directory. 3468 3469 * ResourceLoader, a new framework for delivering client-side resources such as 3470 JavaScript and CSS, has been introduced. These resources are now delivered 3471 through the new entry point script "load.php", instead of as static files 3472 served directly by the web server. This allows minification, compression and 3473 client-side caching to be used more effectively, which should provide a net 3474 performance improvement for most users. 3475 3476 * Category sorting has been improved. 3477 ** Sorting is now case insensitive. 3478 ** Sub-categories, pages and files can now be paged separately. 3479 ** When several pages are given the same sort key, they sort by their 3480 names instead of randomly. 3481 3482 * The lowest supported version of PHP is now 5.2.3. If necessary, please 3483 upgrade PHP prior to upgrading MediaWiki. 3484 3485 === Changes since 1.17.4 === 3486 3487 * (bug 36938) Correctly escape uselang attribute to prevent xss 3488 * Expanded Blacklist for SVG Files 3489 3490 === Changes since 1.17.3 === 3491 3492 * (bug 35961) Hash comparison should always be strict. 3493 * Fix broken email confirmation expiration caused by MWCryptRand changes. 3494 * (bug 35671) PHP Notice: Undefined index: gettoken in includes/api/ApiMain.php 3495 on line 598. 3496 3497 === Changes since 1.17.2 === 3498 3499 * (bug 22555) Remove or skip strip markers from tag hooks like <nowiki> in 3500 core parser functions which operate on strings, such as padleft. 3501 * (bug 34212) ApiBlock/ApiUnblock allow action to take place without a token 3502 parameter present. 3503 * (bug 34907) Fixed exposure of tokens through load.php that could have facilitated 3504 CSRF attacks. 3505 * (bug 35317) CSRF in Special:Upload. 3506 3507 === Changes since 1.17.1 === 3508 * (bug 33117) prop=revisions allows deleted text to be exposed through cache pollution. 3509 * (bug 32709) Private Wiki users were always taken to Special:Badtitle on login. 3510 3511 === Changes since 1.17.0 === 3512 3513 * (bug 29535) Added missing Creative Commons CC0 icon. 3514 * (bug 29726) Fixed failure to load internationalization messages in 3515 client-side scripts on WebKit-based browsers. 3516 * Fixed a bug in message transformation where the previous language could leak 3517 into later transformations in the UI language. 3518 * (bug 29091) Fixed form of native name for Ossetic language (Иронау -> Ирон) 3519 * Fixed maintenance scripts upgrade1_5.php and rebuildImages.php, they did not 3520 work at all since 1.17 beta 1. 3521 * (bug 29531) Fixed img_auth.php for thumbnails and other filenames with 3522 multiple dots, was broken by the fix for bug 28840. 3523 * In the maintenance script purgeList.php, fixed a fatal error when a page 3524 title is given, instead of a URL. 3525 * (bug 19514) Unordered list list-style-image should be IE6-compatible (8-bit). 3526 * Installer checked for magic_quotes_runtime instead of register_globals. 3527 * $wgSVGMaxSize is now applied to the smaller of width or height, making very 3528 wide pano/timeline/diagram SVGs renderable at saner sizes. 3529 * (bug 29959) Installer fatal when cURL and allow_url_fopen is disabled and user 3530 tries to subsribe to mediawiki-announce. 3531 * Installer checked for magic_quotes_runtime instead of register_globals 3532 * (bug 30131) XCache with variable caching disabled no longer used for variable 3533 caching (CACHE_ACCEL) 3534 * (bug 30264) Changed installer-generated LocalSettings.php to use require_once() 3535 instead require() for included extensions. 3536 * (bug 26486) ResourceLoader modules with paths to nonexistent files cause PHP 3537 warnings/notices to be thrown 3538 * (bug 30907) Special:Unusedcategories should sort ascendingly. 3539 * (bug 30219) The page shown when LocalSettings.php does not exist was broken on 3540 Windows servers. 3541 * Hardcoded NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS for Oracle DB to prevent type conversion errors. 3542 * Fixed recentchanges FK violation on page delete and cache purge error in updater 3543 for Oracle DB. 3544 * (bug 32276) Skins were generating output using the internal page title which 3545 would allow anonymous users to determine wheter a page exists, potentially 3546 leaking private data. In fact, the curid and oldid request parameters would 3547 allow page titles to be enumerated even when they are not guessable. 3548 * (bug 32616) action=ajax requests were dispatched to the relevant internal 3549 functions without any read permission checks being done. This could lead to 3550 data leakage on private wikis. 3551 3552 === Changes since 1.17.0rc1 === 3553 3554 * Fixed syntax error in generated LocalSettings.php when a non-default user 3555 rights profile is chosen. 3556 * (bug 29399) Fixed PostgreSQL installation when the DB user for installation 3557 is the same as the one for web access. 3558 * (bug 29233) Fixed failover for DB slave servers. When a DB slave went down, 3559 an error was immediately shown to the user, instead of trying another slave. 3560 Was broken since 1.17 beta 1. 3561 * (bug 29278) Fixed PHP fatal error when attempting to add text to a page via a 3562 redirect. 3563 * (bug 29408) Fixed uploads of files with MIME types that aren't detected by 3564 MediaWiki. 3565 * Removed DEFAULT '' NOT NULL field definitions from Oracle DB schema because 3566 using the DEFAULT value ('') in DML broke Oracle backend as it treats an 3567 empty VARCHAR2 value as NULL. Indexes on Oracle do not require NOT NULL 3568 fields. 3569 3570 === Changes since 1.17 beta 1 === 3571 3572 * Fixed warning about missing file "password.js". 3573 * When installing on MySQL, don't attempt to create a new database user if the 3574 same user is used for installation and web access. 3575 * Fixed SQL query errors in queries with table aliases. 3576 * (bug 27891) Fixed the "chronology protector", broken since 1.17beta1, which 3577 ensures that when database replication is used, the new version is seen by 3578 the user immediately after they create or edit an article. 3579 * (bug 28845) Allow PostgreSQL installation using a non-root user account which 3580 has role creation abilities. 3581 * When installing on PostgreSQL and the install account is the same as the web 3582 account, check to make sure that the account has suitable privileges in the 3583 mediawiki schema. 3584 * (bug 28172) Fixed error in PostgreSQL installation when creating the wiki 3585 sysop account. 3586 * Fixed an issue with the Oracle installer in cases where the user is different 3587 to the database name. 3588 * Added "unblockself" to the list of available rights. 3589 * In the installer, fixed the "user rights profile" option, it never worked. 3590 * (bug 29117) Fixed Hebrew localisation of the installer. 3591 * (bug 28840) Reduce the collateral damage caused by the fix for bug 28235 (XSS 3592 on Internet Explorer 6 due to a file extension in the query string) by 3593 reducing the number of URLs that are blocked, and by redirecting the request 3594 to a safer URL where possible instead of blocking it. 3595 * (bug 28812) Fixed documentation of API action=parse. 3596 * (bug 28979) Fixed styling of <abbr> and <acronym>. 3597 * Fixed the error message displayed when you try to create an account by email, 3598 but an email address is not given. 3599 * Fixed JS error due to missing dependency for jquery.suggestions. 3600 * Exposed $wgExtensionAssetsPath in JavaScript. 3601 * (bug 28738) Made ResourceLoader support environments with small URL length 3602 limits. The length limit can be configured via $wgResourceLoaderMaxQueryLength, 3603 and this is set automatically in the generated LocalSettings.php when the 3604 php.ini variable "suhosin.get.max_value_length" is set. When a URL exceeds 3605 this limit, the request is split up. Also, reduced the average length of 3606 load.php URLs by using a more compact parameter format. 3607 * (bug 25262) Fix for minification of hardcoded data: URIs in CSS. 3608 * (bug 25124) Respect $wgStyleDirectory in ResourceLoader. 3609 * Allow installation when no HTTP client is available, don't throw an exception. 3610 * (bug 27465) Fix metadata extraction for SVG files using unusual namespace 3611 names. 3612 * (bug 29174) Fix regression in upload-by-URL: uploading files larger than the 3613 PHP memory limit should work again. 3614 * Fixed the display of comments in the new user log. 3615 * (bug 28237) When installing extensions using the web-based installer, create 3616 any necessary database tables. 3617 * (bug 28983) Fixed automated installation of extensions that overwrite $path. 3618 * Fixed error caused by missing magic words. 3619 * Fixed breakage of article editing in PostgreSQL due to text search 3620 configuration errors. 3621 * Fixed the HTTPS client used when Curl is not available. This avoids an error 3622 during install about failure of the mediawiki-announce subscription. 3623 * (bug 28162) When installing to PostgreSQL, respect the "database port" input, 3624 it was ignored. 3625 3626 === Configuration changes in 1.17 === 3627 3628 * $wgLogAutocreatedAccounts controls whether autocreation of accounts is logged 3629 to new users log. 3630 * (bug 22858) $wgLocalStylePath is by default set to the same value as 3631 $wgStylePath but should never point to a different domain than the site is 3632 on, allowing skins to use .htc files which are not cross-domain friendly. 3633 * $wgFileStore has been deprecated. The only usage $wgFileStore['deleted'] has 3634 been turned into $wgDeletedDirectory. 3635 * $wgDeletedDirectory has been added to specify what directory to place deleted 3636 uploads in. 3637 * IBM DB2 database no longer uses the db specific $wgDBport_db2 variable but the 3638 normal $wgDBport. 3639 * $wgCategoryPrefixedDefaultSortkey was removed and is now always false. This 3640 provides more sensible sorting behavior for categories. 3641 * Removed unused globals: $wgEnableSerializedMessages, $wgCheckSerialized, 3642 $wgUseMemCached, $wgDisableSearchContext, $wgColorErrors, $wgUseZhdaemon, 3643 $wgZhdaemonHost and $wgZhdaemonPort. 3644 * (bug 24408) The include_path is not modified in the default LocalSettings.php 3645 * $wgVectorExtraStyles was removed, and is no longer in use. 3646 * Removed $wgUpdates for database updates; extensions should use 3647 DatabaseUpdater::addExtensionUpdate() via the LoadExtensionSchemaUpdates hook. 3648 * Removed $wgServerName. It doesn't need to be set anymore and is no longer 3649 available as input for other configuration items, either. 3650 * It's no longer necessary for LocalSettings.php to include DefaultSettings.php. 3651 * It's no longer necessary to set $wgCacheEpoch to the file modification time 3652 of LocalSettings.php, in LocalSettings.php itself. Instead, this is done 3653 automatically if $wgInvalidateCacheOnLocalSettingsChange is true (which is 3654 the default). 3655 * $wgCopyrightIcon is deprecated and $wgFooterIcons['copyright']['copyright'] 3656 should be used instead. 3657 * $wgSysopUserBans is deprecated, and will be made permanently true in 1.18. 3658 If you need this functionality, you should use the BlockIp hook to filter and 3659 reject such blocks. 3660 * $wgSysopRangeBans is deprecated, you should set $wgBlockCIDRLimit to maximum 3661 (32 for IPv4, 128 for IPv6), equivalent to allowing rangeblocks of only 1 3662 address at a time. 3663 3664 === New features in 1.17 === 3665 3666 * (bug 10183) Users can now add personal styles and scripts to all skins via 3667 User:<name>/common.css and /common.js (if user css/js is enabled). 3668 * (bug 22748) Add anchors on Special:ListGroupRights. 3669 * (bug 21981) Add parameter 'showfilename' to <gallery> to automatically 3670 apply the names of the individual files within the gallery. 3671 * Future-proof redirection to fragments in Gecko, so things work a little nicer 3672 if they fix <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516293>. 3673 * Support git:// and mms:// protocols by default for external links. 3674 * (bug 15810) Blocked admins can no longer unblock themselves without the 3675 'unblockself' permission (which they have by default). 3676 * (bug 18499) Added "enhanced" URL parameter to switch between old and enhanced 3677 changes list. 3678 * (bug 22925) "sp-contributions-blocked-notice-anon" message now displayed when 3679 viewing contributions of a blocked IP address. 3680 * (bug 22474) {{urlencode:}} now takes an optional second parameter for type of 3681 escaping. 3682 * Special:Listfiles now supports a username parameter. 3683 * Special:Random carries over query string parameters. 3684 * (bug 23206) Add Special::Search hook for detecting successful "Go". 3685 * When visiting a "red link" of a deleted file, a deletion and move log excerpt 3686 is provided on the Upload form. 3687 * (bug 22647) Add category details in search results. 3688 * (bug 23276) Add hook to Special:NewPages to modify query. 3689 * Add accesskey 's' and tooltip to 'Save' button at Special:Preferences. 3690 * Add accesskey 'b' and tooltip to the summary field of edit mode. 3691 * (bug 20186) Allow filtering Special:Contributions for RevisionDeleted edits. 3692 * ajaxwatch now uses the API and JQuery, and can be used to animate arbitrary 3693 watch links, not just to watch the page the link is on. 3694 * (bug 20976) "searchmenu-new-nocreate" message now displayed when when there 3695 is no title match in search and the user has no rights to create pages. 3696 * (bug 23429) Added new hook WatchlistEditorBuildRemoveLine. 3697 * (bug 22844) Added support for WinCache object caching (for IIS). 3698 * (bug 23580) Add two new events to LivePreview so that scripts can be notified 3699 about the beginning and finishing of LivePreview actions. 3700 * (bug 21278) Now the sidebar allows inclusion of wiki markup. 3701 * (bug 23733) Add IDs to messages used on CSS/JS pages. 3702 * Show validity period of the login cookie in Special:UserLogin and 3703 Special:Preferences. 3704 * Interlanguage links display the page title in their tooltip. 3705 * (bug 23621) New Special:ComparePages to compare (diff) two articles. 3706 * (bug 4597) Provide support in Special:Contributions to show only "current" 3707 contributions 3708 * (bug 17857) {{anchorencode}} acts more like how the parser creates section ids 3709 * (bug 21477) \& can now be used in <math> 3710 * (bug 11641) \dotsc \dotsm \dotsi \dotso can now be used in <math> 3711 * (bug 21475) \mathtt

\cancelto 3718 * Added scriptExtension setting to $wgForeignFileRepos. 3719 * ForeignApiRepo uses scriptDirUrl if apiBase not set. 3720 * (bug 24212) Added MediaWiki:Filepage.css which is also

search. 3748 * TS_ISO_8691_BASIC was added as a time format, which is used by ResourceLoader 3749 for versioning. 3750 * Maintenance scripts get a --memory-limit option to override defaults (which

Use the Xml or Html classes as appropriate. 4296 * The FailFunction "error handling" method has now been removed 4297 * Sysops now have the "suppressredirect" right by default 4298 * Removed $wgRemoteUploads.

This is 4323 mainly a cosmetic change, and does not in any way affect the MessageCache, 4324 which was already effectively treating the namespace as if it had subpages. 4325 * Oracle: maintenance/ora/user.sql script for creating DB user on oracle with 4326 appropriate privileges. Creating this user with web-install page requires 4327 oci8.privileged_connect set to On in php.ini. 4328 * Removed UserrightsChangeableGroups hook introduced in 1.14 4329 * Added $wgCacheDirectory, to replace $wgFileCacheDirectory, 4330 $wgLocalMessageCache, and any other local caches which need a place to put 4331 files. 4332 * $wgFileCacheDirectory is no longer set to anything by default, and so either 4333 needs to be set explicitly, or $wgCacheDirectory needs to be set instead. 4334 * $wgLocalMessageCache has been removed. Instead, set $wgUseLocalMessageCache 4335 to true 4336 * Removed $wgEnableSerializedMessages and $wgCheckSerialized. Similar 4337 functionality is now available via $wgLocalisationCacheConf. 4338 * $wgMessageCache->addMessages() is deprecated. Messages added via this 4339 interface will not appear in Special:AllMessages. 4340 * $wgRegisterInternalExternals can be used to record external links pointing 4341 to same server 4342 * (bug 19907) $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains and $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomainExceptions added 4343 to control which external domains may access the API via cross-site AJAX. 4344 * $wgMaintenanceScripts for extensions to add their scripts to the default list 4345 * $wgMemoryLimit has been added, default value '50M' 4346 * $wgExtraRandompageSQL is deprecated, the SpecialRandomGetRandomTitle hook 4347 should be used instead 4348 * (bug 20489) $wgIllegalFileChars added to override the default list of illegal 4349 characters in file names. 4350 * (bug 19646) $wgImgAuthDetails added to display reason access to uploaded file 4351 was denied to users(img_auth only) 4352 * (bug 19646) $wgImgAuthPublicTest added to test to see if img_auth set up 4353 correctly (img_auth only) 4354 * $wgUploadMaintenance added to disable file deletions and restorations during 4355 maintenance 4356 * $wgCapitalLinkOverrides added to configure per-namespace capitalization 4357 * (bug 21172) $wgSorbsUrl can now be an array with multiple DNSBL and renamed 4358 to $wgDnsBlacklistUrls (backward compatibility kept) 4359 * $wgEnableHtmlDiff has been removed 4360 * (bug 3340) $wgBlockCIDRLimit added (default: 16) to configure the low end of 4361 CIDR ranges for blocking 4362 * $wgUseInstantCommons added for quick and easy enabling of Commons as a remote 4363 file repository 4364 * $wgDBAhandler added to choose a DBA handler when using CACHE_DBA 4365 * $wgPreviewOnOpenNamespaces for extensions that create namespaces that behave 4366 similarly to the category namespace. 4367 * $wgEnableSorbs renamed to $wgDnsBlacklistUrls ($wgEnableSorbs kept for 4368 backward compatibility) 4369 * $wgUploadNavigationUrl now also affects images inline images that do not 4370 exist. In that case the URL will get (?|&)wpDestFile=<filename> appended to 4371 it as appropriate. 4372 * If $wgLocaltimezone is null, use the server's timezone as the default for 4373 signatures. This was always the behavior documented in DefaultSettings.php 4374 but has not been the actual behavior for some time: instead, UTC was used 4375 by default. 4376 * Added $wgExtensionAssetsPath, to decouple assets serving from $wgScriptPath. 4377 If not specified it will default to $wgScriptPath/extensions 4378 * Added $wgCountTotalSearchHits to make search UI display total number of hits 4379 with some search engines. 4380 * Added $wgAdvertisedFeedTypes to decide what feed types (RSS, Atom, both, or 4381 neither) MediaWiki advertises. Default is array( 'atom' ), so RSS is no 4382 longer advertised by default (but it still works). 4383 * Added $wgMemCachedTimeout, controls how long to wait for data from the 4384 memcached servers. 4385 * New configuration variables $wgDebugTimestamps and $wgDebugPrintHttpHeaders 4386 for controlling debug output. 4387 * New $wgBlockDisablesLogin when set to true disallows blocked users from 4388 logging in. 4389 * (bug 8790) Metadata edition ($wgUseMetadataEdit) has been moved to a separate 4390 extension "MetadataEdit". 4391 4392 === New features in 1.16 === 4393 4394 * Add CSS defintion of the 'wikitable' class to shared.css 4395 * (bug 17163) Added MediaWiki:Talkpageheader which will be displayed when 4396 viewing talk pages 4397 * Superfluous border="0" removed from images 4398 * Added new hook 'MessageCacheReplace' into MessageCache.php. For instance 4399 to allow extensions to update caches in similar way as MediaWiki invalidates 4400 a cached MonoBook sidebar 4401 * Special:AllPages: Move hardcoded styles from code to CSS 4402 * (bug 18529) New hook: SoftwareInfo for adding information about the software 4403 to Special:Version 4404 * Added $wgExtPGAlteredFields to allow extensions to easily alter the data 4405 type of columns when using the Postgres backend. 4406 * (bug 16950) Show move log when viewing/creating a deleted page 4407 * (bug 18242) Show the Subversion revision number per extensions in 4408 Special:Version 4409 * (bug 18420) Missing file revisions are handled gracefully now 4410 * (bug 9219) Auth plugins can control editing RealName/Email/Nick preferences 4411 * (bug 18466) Add note or warning when overruling a move (semi-)protection 4412 * (bug 18342) insertTags works in edit summary box 4413 * (bug 18411) The upload form also checks post_max_size 4414 * Watchlist now has a specialized <div> tag that contains a unique class for 4415 each page 4416 * Added Minguo calendar support for the Taiwan Chinese language 4417 * Database: unionQueries function to be used for UNION sql construction, so 4418 it can be overloaded on DB abstraction level for DB specific functionality 4419 * (bug 18849) Implement Japanese and North Korean calendars 4420 * (bug 5755) Introduce {{CURRENTMONTH1}} and {{LOCALMONTH1}} to display the 4421 month number without the leading zero 4422 * (bug 13456) categoriespagetext supports PLURAL 4423 * (bug 18860) Blocks of IPs affecting registered users can now block email 4424 * (bug 17093) Date and time are separate parameters in Special:BlockList 4425 * (bug 11484) Added ISO speed rating to default collapsed EXIF metadata view 4426 * (bug 14866) Messages 'recentchangeslinked-toolbox' and 4427 'recentchangeslinked-toolbox' were added to allow more fine grained 4428 customisation of the user interface 4429 * DISPLAYTITLE now accepts a limited amount of wiki markup (the single-quote 4430 items) 4431 * Special:Search now could search terms in all variant-forms. ONLY apply on 4432 wikis enabled LanguageConverter. 4433 * Add autopromote condition APCOND_BLOCKED to autopromote blocked users to 4434 various user groups. 4435 * Add $wgRevokePermissions as a means of restricting a group's rights. The 4436 syntax is identical to $wgGroupPermissions, but users in these groups will 4437 have these rights stripped from them. 4438 * Added a PHP port of CDB (constant database), for improved local caching when 4439 the DBA extension is not available. 4440 * Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around 4441 fast fetches of individual messages, minimising memory overhead and startup 4442 time in the typical case.

(Default: null, ex- 5547 empt all content namespaces.) 5548 * $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4 5549 has been $wgSearchForwardUrl. 5550 * (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either 5551 $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent 5552 Changes feed that appears on all pages. 5553 * $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for 5554 SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from 5555 $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki. 5556 * $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like 5557 $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified 5558 group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves. 5559 Backwards compatibility is maintained. 5560 * $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic 5561 word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This 5562 is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title. 5563 * $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions. 5564 * $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead. 5565 * Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people 5566 with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection 5567 is not required. 5568 * $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings. 5569 * Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image 5570 whitelist on or off. 5571 * Added $wgRenderHashAppend to append some string to the parser cache and the 5572 sitenotice cache keys. 5573 * $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold is now a positive integer by default, 5574 * (bug 16006) $wgEnableWriteAPI is now true by default.

If it's set to false, then the skin used will *always* be 5580 $wgDefaultSkin. 5581 * Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based 5582 on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username) 5583 * Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in 5584 ForeignAPIRepo) 5585 * (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File. 5586 For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may 5587 need to be updated. 5588 * The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and 5589 NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility, 5590 and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older. 5591 * MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by 5592 using $wgUsePrivateIPs. 5593 * The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in 5594 Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions 5595 to customize the watchlist database query. 5596 5597 === Migrated extensions === 5598 The following extensions are migrated into MediaWiki 1.14: 5599 5600 * Special:DeletedContributions to show deleted user contributions (was 5601 extension DeletedContributions) 5602 * Special:Log/newusers recording new users (was extension Newuserlog) 5603 * Special:LinkSearch to search for external links (was extension LinkSearch) 5604 * RenderHash 5605 * NoMoveUserPages 5606 * UniversalEditButton 5607 5608 === New features in 1.14 === 5609 5610 * New URL syntaxes for Special:ListUsers - 'Special:ListUsers/USER' and 5611 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP/USER', in addition to the older syntax 5612 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP' where GROUP is a valid group name. 5613 * Configurable per-namespace and per-page notices for the edit form, 5614 respectively MediaWiki:Editnotice-# where # is the namespace number, and 5615 MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-PAGENAME where # is the page's namespace number and 5616 PAGENAME is the page name minus the namespace prefix. 5617 * (bug 8068) New __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ magic words allow user control of 5618 search engine indexing on a per-article basis. 5619 * Handheld stylesheet options 5620 * Added 'DoEditSectionLink' hook as a cleaner unified version of the old 5621 'EditSectionLink' and 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hooks. Note that the 5622 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is 5623 run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work 5624 if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain). 5625 * Signature (~~~~) "cleaning", i.e. template removal, can be disabled with 5626 $wgCleanSignatures=false 5627 * Extensions can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook to modify the content of the 5628 sidebar and add custom portlets to it 5629 * Added 'MakeGlobalVariablesScript' hook for extensions to be able to add vari- 5630 ables into into the output of Skin::makeVariablesScript 5631 * (bug 13846) Added $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups display on 5632 Special:ListGroupRights 5633 * (bug 14377) Add a date selector to history pages 5634 * (bug 15007) New 'pagetitle-view-mainpage' message allows the HTML <title> of 5635 the main page to be customized 5636 * Added $wgDisableTitleConversion to disabling the conversion for all pages on 5637 the wiki 5638 * Added 'noconvertlink' toggle that can be set per user preferences, also 5639 added 'convertlink=no|yes' on GET requests whether have the link titles 5640 being converted or not 5641 * (bug 14921) Special:Contributions/: add user name to <title> 5642 Patch by Emufarmers 5643 * Unescape more "safe" characters when producing URLs, for added prettiness 5644 * Introduced a new hook 'SkinAfterContent' that allows extensions to add text 5645 after the page content and article metadata.

This should replace inaccessible and incomplete 5696 solutions such as CSS-based overlays and ImageMap. 5697 * (bug 368) Don't use caption for alt attribute; allow manual specification 5698 using new "alt=" parameter for images 5699 * (bug 44) The {{ns:}} core parser function now also accepts localized 5700 namespace names and aliases; also, its output now uses spaces instead of 5701 underscores to match the behavior of the {{NAMESPACE}} magic word 5702 * Added the ability to display user edit counts in Special:ListUsers.

Subsequent analysis by the 6130 MediaWiki development team expanded the scope of these vulnerabilities. The 6131 issues with a significant impact are as follows: 6132 6133 * An XSS vulnerability affecting all MediaWiki installations between 1.13.0 and 6134 1.13.2. [CVE-2008-5249] 6135 * A local script injection vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer clients for 6136 all MediaWiki installations with uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250] 6137 * A local script injection vulnerability affecting clients with SVG scripting 6138 capability (such as Firefox 1.5+), for all MediaWiki installations with SVG 6139 uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250] 6140 * A CSRF vulnerability affecting the Special:Import feature, for all MediaWiki 6141 installations since the feature was introduced in 1.3.0. [CVE-2008-5252] 6142 6143 XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to steal an 6144 authorised user's login session, and to act as that user on the wiki. The 6145 authorised user must visit a web page controlled by the attacker in order to 6146 activate the attack. Intranet wikis are vulnerable if the attacker can 6147 determine the intranet URL. 6148 6149 Local script injection vulnerabilities are like XSS vulnerabilities, except 6150 that the attacker must have an account on the local wiki, and there is no 6151 external site involved. The attacker uploads a script to the wiki, which another 6152 user is tricked into executing, with the effect that the attacker is able to act 6153 as the privileged user. 6154 6155 CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to act as an authorised user on the wiki, 6156 but unlike an XSS vulnerability, the attacker can only act as the user in a 6157 specific and restricted way. The present CSRF vulnerability allows pages to be 6158 edited, with forged revision histories. Like an XSS vulnerability, the 6159 authorised user must visit the malicious web page to activate the attack. 6160 6161 These four vulnerabilities are all fixed in this release. 6162 6163 David Remahl also reminded us of some security-related configuration issues: 6164 6165 * By default, MediaWiki stores a backup of deleted images in the images/deleted 6166 directory. If you do not want these images to be publically accessible, make 6167 sure this directory is not accessible from the web. MediaWiki takes some steps 6168 to avoid leaking these images, but these measures are not perfect. 6169 * Set display_errors=off in your php.ini to avoid path disclosure via PHP fatal 6170 errors. This is the default on most shared web hosts. 6171 * Enabling MediaWiki's debugging features, such as $wgShowExceptionDetails, may 6172 lead to path disclosure. 6173 6174 Other changes in this release: 6175 6176 * Avoid fatal error in profileinfo.php when not configured. 6177 * Add a .htaccess to deleted images directory for additional protection against 6178 exposure of deleted files with known SHA-1 hashes on default installations. 6179 * Avoid streaming uploaded files to the user via index.php. This allows 6180 security-conscious users to serve uploaded files via a different domain, and 6181 thus client-side scripts executed from that domain cannot access the login 6182 cookies. Affects Special:Undelete, img_auth.php and thumb.php. 6183 * When streaming files via index.php, use the MIME type detected from the 6184 file extension, not from the data. This reduces the XSS attack surface. 6185 * Blacklist redirects via Special:Filepath. Such redirects exacerbate any 6186 XSS vulnerabilities involving uploads of files containing scripts. 6187 * Internationalisation updates. 6188 6189 == Changes since 1.13.1 == 6190 6191 * Security: Work around misconfiguration by requiring strict comparisons for 6192 in_array in User::isAllowed(). 6193 * (bug 14944) Added $wgShellLocale for configuration of an appropriate locale 6194 to use for LC_CTYPE during shell invocation. For servers that don't have 6195 en_US.utf8. Also added locale detection during install. 6196 * Localisation updates 6197 * Security: Fixed XSS vulnerability in useskin parameter. 6198 6199 == Changes since 1.13.0 == 6200 6201 * (bug 15460) Fixed intermittent deadlock errors and poor concurrent 6202 performance for installations without memcached. 6203 * (bug 13770) Fixed DOM module detection for installations with both dom 6204 and domxml. 6205 * (bug 15148) Fixed Special:BlockIP for PostgreSQL 6206 * Fixed SQLite support for non-memcached installations 6207 * Localisation updates, Achinese (ace) added. 6208 6209 == Changes since 1.13.0rc2 == 6210 6211 * (bug 13770) Fixed incorrect detection of PHP's DOM module 6212 * Fix regression from r37834: accesskey tooltip hint should be given for the 6213 minor edit and watch labels on the edit page. 6214 * Updated Chinese simplified/traditional conversion tables 6215 6216 == Changes since 1.13.0rc1 == 6217 6218 * $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4 6219 has been $wgSearchForwardUrl. 6220 * (bug 14907) DatabasePostgres::fieldType now defined. 6221 * (bug 14966) Fix SearchEngineDummy class for silently non-functional search 6222 on Sqlite instead of horribly fatal error breaky one. 6223 * (bug 14987) Only fix double redirects on page move when the checkbox is 6224 checked 6225 * (bug 13376) Use $wgPasswordSender, not $wgEmergencyContact, as return 6226 address for page update notification mails. 6227 * API: Registration time of users registered before the DB field was created is now 6228 shown as empty instead of the current time. 6229 * (bug 14904): fragments were lost when redirects were fixed. 6230 * Added magic word __STATICREDIRECT__ to suppress the redirect fixer 6231 * (bug 15035) Revert English linkTrail to /^([a-z]+)(.*)$/sD, as it was before 6232 r36253. Multiple reports of breakage due to old (pre-5.0) PCRE libraries, 6233 both bundled with PHP and packaged with distros such as RHEL. 6234 * (bug 14944) Shell invocation of external programs such as ImageMagick convert 6235 was broken in PHP 5.2.6, if the server had a non-UTF-8 locale. 6236 6237 6238 === Configuration changes in 1.13 === 6239 6240 * New option $wgFeed can be set false to turn off syndication feeds 6241 * (bug 5745) Special:Whatlinkshere now shows up to $wgMaxRedirectLinksRetrieved 6242 links through each redirect instead of hardcoded 500 6243 * Set $wgUploadSizeWarning to false by default 6244 * Added $wgLBFactoryConf, for generic configuration of multi-master wiki farms 6245 * Removed $wgAlternateMaster, use $wgLBFactoryConf 6246 * (bug 13562) Misspelled option $wgUserNotifedOnAllChanges changed to 6247 $wgUserNotifiedOnAllChanges 6248 * (bug 12860) New option $wgSitemapNamespaces allows sitemaps to be generated 6249 for only some namespaces 6250 * Removed the emailconfirmed implicit group by default. To re-add it, use: 6251 $wgAutopromote['emailconfirmed'] = APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED; 6252 in your LocalSettings.php. 6253 * (bug 2396) New shared database configuration variables. $wgSharedPrefix allows 6254 you to use a shared database with a different prefix. Or you can now use a local 6255 database and use prefixes to separate wiki and the shared tables. And the new 6256 $wgSharedTables variable allows you to specify a list of tables to share. 6257 * Automatic edit summaries can be disabled with $wgUseAutomaticEditSummaries 6258 * Duplicates of images are now shown on the image page 6259 * $wgRCFilterByAge allows for the list of dates in recent changes special pages to 6260 be filtered to only those within the range of $wgRCMaxAge 6261 * $wgRCLinkLimits and $wgRCLinkDays allow for customization of the list and limits 6262 displayed on the recent changes special pages 6263 * The "createpage" permission is no longer required when uploading if the target 6264 image page already exists 6265 * $wgMaximumMovedPages restricts the number of pages that can be moved at once 6266 (default 100) with the new subpage-move functionality of Special:Movepage 6267 * Hooks display in Special:Version is now disabled by default, use 6268 $wgSpecialVersionShowHooks = true; to enable it. 6269 * $wgActiveUserEditCount sets the number of edits that must be performed over 6270 a certain number of days to be considered active 6271 * $wgActiveUserDays is that number of days 6272 * $wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups has been deprecated in favor of 6273 $wgGroupPermissions[]['noratelimit'].

"continuous integration" development model with 6775 quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept 6776 "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia. 6777 6778 Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year 6779 from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments 6780 will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release. 6781 6782 Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain 6783 it from source control: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN 6784 6785 === Configuration changes in 1.12 === 6786 * Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the 6787 markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used. 6788 This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group. 6789 * MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration 6790 variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e. 6791 to not check and assume they are always up to date) 6792 * The rollback permission can now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism. 6793 * New configuration variable $wgExtraLanguageNames 6794 * Behavior of $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups changed. New behavior: 6795 * * Granting the userrights privilege allows arbitrary changing of rights. 6796 * * Without the userrights privilege, a user will be able to add and/or 6797 remove the groups specified in $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups for 6798 any groups they are in. 6799 * New permission userrights-interwiki for changing user rights on foreign wikis. 6800 * $wgImplicitGroups for groups that are hidden from Special:Listusers, etc. 6801 * $wgAutopromote: automatically promote users who match specified criteria 6802 * $wgGroupsAddToSelf, $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf: allow users to add or remove 6803 themselves from specified groups via Special:Userrights. 6804 * When $wgUseTidy has been enabled, PHP's Tidy module is now used if it is 6805 present, in preference to an external Tidy executable which may or may not 6806 be present. To force use of external Tidy even when the PHP module is 6807 available, set $wgTidyInternal to false. 6808 6809 6810 === New features in 1.12 === 6811 * (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload 6812 * Add {{filepath:}} parser function to get full path to an uploaded file, 6813 complementing {{fullurl:}} for pages. 6814 * (bug 11136) If using Postgres, search path is explicitly set if wgDBmwschema 6815 is not set to 'mediawiki', allowing multiple mediawiki instances per user. 6816 * (bug 11151) Add descriptive <title> to revision history page 6817 * (bug 5412) Add feed links for the site to all pages 6818 * (bug 11353) Add ability to retrieve raw section content via action=raw 6819 * (bug 6909) Show relevant deletion log lines when uploading a previously 6820 deleted file 6821 * On SkinTemplate based skins (like MonoBook), omit confusing "edit"/"view 6822 source" tab entirely if the page doesn't exist and the user isn't allowed to 6823 create it 6824 * Clarify instructions given when an exception is thrown 6825 * AuthPlugin added strictUserAuth() method to allow per-user override 6826 of the strict() authentication behavior. 6827 * (bug 7872) Deleted revisions can now be viewed as diffs showing changes 6828 against the previous revision, whether currently deleted or live. 6829 * Added tooltips for the "Go" and "Search" buttons 6830 * (bug 11649) Show input form when Special:Whatlinkshere has no parameters 6831 * isValidEmailAddr hook added to User method of that name, to allow, e.g., re- 6832 stricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain 6833 * Removed "Clear" link in watchlist editor tools, as people were afraid to 6834 click it. Existing clear links will fall back to the raw editor, which is 6835 very easy to clear your watchlist with. 6836 * (bug 1405) Add wgUseNPPatrol option to control patroling for new articles 6837 on Special:Newpages 6838 * LogLine hook added to allow formatting custom entries in Special:Log. 6839 * Support for Iranian calendar 6840 * (bug 1401) Allow hiding logged-in users, bots and patrolled pages on 6841 Special:Newpages 6842 * ChangesListInsertArticleLink hook added for adding extra article info to RC. 6843 * MediaWikiPerformAction hook added for diverting control after the main 6844 globals have been set up but before any actions have been taken. 6845 * BeforeWatchlist hook added for filtering or replacing watchlist. 6846 * SkinTemplateTabAction hook added for altering the properties of tab links. 6847 * OutputPage::getRedirect public method added. 6848 * (bug 11848, 12506) Allow URL parameters 'section', 'editintro' and 'preload' 6849 in Special:Mypage and Special:Mytalk 6850 * Add ot=raw to Special:Allmessages 6851 * Support for Hebrew calendar 6852 * Support for Hebrew numerals in dates and times 6853 * (bug 11315) Signatures can be configured in [[MediaWiki:Signature]] and 6854 [[MediaWiki:Signature-anon]] 6855 * Signatures for anonymous users link to Special:Contributions page rather than 6856 user page 6857 * Added --override switch for disabled pages in updateSpecialPages.php 6858 * Provide a unique message (ipb_blocked_as_range) if unblock of a single IP 6859 fails 6860 because it is part of a blocked range. 6861 * (bug 3973) Use a separate message for the email content when an account is 6862 created by another user 6863 * dumpTextPass.php can spawn fetchText.php as a subprocess, which should restart 6864 cleanly if database connections fail unpleasantly. 6865 * (bug 12028) Add Special:Listbots as shortcut for Special:Listusers/bot 6866 * (bug 9633) Add a predefined list of delete reasons to the deletion form 6867 * Show a warning message when creating/editing a user (talk) page but the user 6868 does not exists 6869 * (bug 8396) Ignore out-of-date serialised message caches 6870 * (bug 12195) Undeleting pages now requires 'undelete' permission 6871 * (bug 11810) Localize displayed semicolons 6872 * (bug 11657) Support for Thai solar calendar 6873 * (bug 943) RSS feed for Recentchangeslinked 6874 * Introduced AbortMove hook 6875 * (bug 2919) Protection of nonexistent pages with regular protection interface. 6876 * Special:Upload now lists permitted/prohibited file extensions. 6877 * Split ambiguous filetype-badtype message into two new messages, 6878 filetype-unwanted-type and filetype-banned-type. 6879 * Added link to the old title in Special:Movepage 6880 * On Special:Movepage, errors are now more noticeable. 6881 * It is now possible to change rights on other local wikis without the MakeSysop 6882 extension 6883 * Add HTML ID's mw-read-only-warning and mw-anon-edit-warning to warnings when 6884 editing to allow CSS styling. 6885 * Parser now returns list of sections 6886 * When a user is prohibited from creating a page, a title of "View source" 6887 makes no sense, and there should be no "Return to [[Page]]" link. 6888 * (bug 12486) Protected titles now give a warning for privileged editors. 6889 * (bug 9939) Special:Search now sets focus to search input box when no existing 6890 search is active 6891 * For Special:Userrights, use GET instead of POST to search for users. 6892 * Allow subpage syntax for Special:Userrights, i.e., Special:Userrights/Name. 6893 * When submitting changes on Special:Userrights, show the full form again, not 6894 just the search box. 6895 * Added exception hooks 6896 * (bug 12574) Allow bots to specify whether an edit should be marked as a bot 6897 edit, via the parameter 'bot'.

For example, you could have "<ta" in 7189 one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a 7190 valid <table> tag. Previously the result would have been "<table>". 7191 7192 Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you 7193 have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be 7194 converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This 7195 was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in 7196 the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion 7197 will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template 7198 expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security 7199 pass. 7200 7201 Bug 5678 has been fixed. This has a number of user-visible effects related to 7202 the removal of this double-parse. Please see the wiki page for examples. 7203 7204 Message transformation mode has been removed, and replaced with "preprocess" 7205 mode. This means that some MediaWiki namespace messages may need to be updated, 7206 especially ones which took advantage of the terribly counterintuitive behavior 7207 of the former message mode. 7208 7209 The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section 7210 edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a 7211 whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by 7212 template expansion will still be rendered into a heading tag, and will get an 7213 entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link. HTML-style headings 7214 will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext headings present in the 7215 template source text will get a template section edit link. This is a major 7216 break from previous behavior, but I believe the effects are almost entirely 7217 beneficial. 7218 7219 The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass 7220 preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed 7221 #switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a 7222 significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from 7223 Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement 7224 by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration. 7225 7226 The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient 7227 way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance 7228 anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default 7229 limit. 7230 7231 The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so 7232 extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes. 7233 7234 The new preprocessor syntax has been documented in Backus-Naur Form at: 7235 7236 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF 7237 7238 The ExpandTemplates extension now has the ability to generate an XML parse 7239 tree from wikitext source. This parse tree corresponds closely to the grammar 7240 documented on that page. 7241 7242 === API changes in 1.12 === 7243 7244 Full API documentation is available at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API 7245 7246 * (bug 11275) Enable descending sort in categorymembers 7247 * (bug 11308) Allow the API to output the image metadata 7248 * (bug 11296) Temporary fix for escaping of ampersands inside links in 7249 pretty-printed 7250 help document. 7251 * (bug 11405) Expand templates implementation in the API 7252 * (bug 11218) Add option to feedwatchlist to display multiple revisions for each 7253 page. 7254 * (bug 11404) Provide name of exception caught in error code field of internal 7255 api error messages. 7256 * (bug 11534) rvendid doesn't work 7257 * Fixed rvlimit of the revisions query to only enforce the lower query limit if 7258 revision content is requested. 7259 * Include svn revision number (if install is checked-out from svn) in siteinfo 7260 query. 7261 * (bug 11173) Allow limited wikicode rendering via api.php 7262 * (bug 11572) API should provide interface for expanding templates 7263 * (bug 11569) Login should return the cookie prefix 7264 * (bug 11632) Breaking change: Specify the type of a change in the recentchanges 7265 list as 'edit', 'new', 'log' instead of 0, 1, 2, respectively. 7266 * Compatibility fix for PHP 5.0.x. 7267 * Add rctype parameter to list=recentchanges that filters by type 7268 * Add apprtype and apprlevel parameters to filter list=allpages by protection 7269 types and levels 7270 * Add apdir parameter to enable listing all pages from Z to A 7271 * (bug 11721) Use a different title for results than for the help page. 7272 * (bug 11562) Added a user_registration parameter/field to the list=allusers 7273 query. 7274 * (bug 11588) Preserve document structure for empty dataset in backlinks query. 7275 * Outputting list of all user preferences rather than having to request them by 7276 name 7277 * (bug 11206) api.php should honor maxlag 7278 * Make prop=info check for restrictions in the old format too. 7279 * Add apihighlimits permission, default for sysops and bots 7280 * Add limit=max to use maximal limit 7281 * Add action=parse to render parser output.

On inserting 8516 an IP block, the ipb_enable_autoblock field is now automagically blanked, 8517 because it doesn't make any sense for an IP. Additionally, IP blocks 8518 without the ipb_enable_autoblock option no longer show up as "autoblock 8519 disabled" on Special:Ipblocklist. 8520 * (bug 7774) MATH: aded more amstex functions 8521 * (bug 1182) MATH: fixed inconsistent rendering of upper case Greek letters in TeX 8522 * Fix regression in streaming page dump generation 8523 * (bug 7801) Add support for parser function hooks in parser tests 8524 * checkUsernames.php now uses wfDebugLog instead of hardcoded path to log 8525 * (bug 7810) Update talk namespaces for Occitan 8526 * Allow case-sensitive URLs to be used for uploading from URLs. 8527 * (bug 1109) Correct fix for compressed 304 responses when additional output 8528 buffers have been installed within the compression handler 8529 * (bug 7819) Move automatic redirect edit summary after pre-save transform 8530 to work properly with subst: fun 8531 * (bug 7826) Fix typos in two English messages. 8532 * (bug 5365) Stop users being prompted to enter an edit summary for null edits, 8533 if they have selected that option in preferences. 8534 * (bug 5936) Show an 'm' to the left of the edit summary on diff pages for minor edits. 8535 * (bug 7820) Improve error reporting for uploads via URL. 8536 * (bug 5149) When autoblocks are enabled, retroactively apply an autoblock to the most 8537 recently used IP of a user when they are blocked. 8538 * Add an index on (rc_user_text,rc_timestamp) on the recentchanges table. This will 8539 make CheckUser.php and the new retroactive autoblock functionality faster. 8540 * Fix regression in Special:Undelete for revisions deleted under MediaWiki 1.4 8541 with compression or legacy encoding 8542 * (bug 6737) Fixes for MySQL 5 schema in strict mode 8543 * Approximate height for client-side scaling fallback instead of passing -1 8544 into the HTML output. 8545 * Make the DNSBL to check for proxy blocking configurable via $wgSorbsUrl 8546 * Add experimental recording/reporting mode to parser tests runner, to 8547 compare changes against the previous run. 8548 Additional tables 'testrun' and 'testitem' are in maintenance/testRunner.sql, 8549 source this and pass --record option to parserTests.php 8550 * Make the set of default parser test input files extensible via 8551 $wgParserTestFiles. This can now be appended to by extensions or local 8552 configuration files so that extension or custom tests can be automatically 8553 run along with the main batch. 8554 * Run PHP install version checks on update.php so command-line updaters see 8555 new version requirements 8556 * Do a check for the PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug, since this is much more disruptive 8557 as of MW 1.8 than it used to be. Install or upgrade now aborts with a 8558 warning and a request to upgrade. 8559 * (bug 6440) Updated indexes to improve backlinking queries (links, templates, images) 8560 * Switched 'anon-only' block mode to default for IP blocks 8561 * (bug 3687, 7892) Add distinct heading for media files in category display, 8562 with count. 8563 * (bug 1578) Add different icons for external links to audio, video, or PDF in 8564 Monobook. 8565 * Made autoblocks block account creation if the user block has that option enabled. 8566 * Add auto-summaries to blankings and large removals without summaries. 8567 * (bug 7811) Allow preview of edit summaries. 8568 * (bug 6839) Wikibits.js minor changes to make JS-lint happier. 8569 * (bug 7932) Make sure that edit toolbar clears floats so it appears correctly. 8570 * (bug 6873) When viewing old revisions, add link to diff to current version. 8571 * (bug 3315) Provide rollback link directly on history page. 8572 * Replace 'old-revision-navigation' message with 'revision-info' and 8573 'revision-nav' messages, wrapped in divs with appropriate id's. 8574 * (bug 4178) MediaWiki:Common.js will now be included for all users if 8575 $wgUseSiteJs is enabled, in addition to (if applicable) MediaWiki:Monobook.js 8576 and user JS subpages. 8577 * (bug 7918) "Templates used on this page" changes during preview to reflect 8578 any added or removed templates, and works as expected for section edits. 8579 * (bug 7919) "Templates used on this page" is now shown for read-only pages. 8580 * (bug 7688) When viewing diff, section anchors in autosummary jump to section 8581 on current page instead of loading the latest version. 8582 * (bug 7970) Use current connection explicitly on Database::getServerVersion 8583 * (bug 2001) Tables with class="sortable" can now be dynamically sorted via 8584 JavaScript. 8585 * Added autosummary for new pages with 500 or less characters, and refactor 8586 the autosummary code so it's all done in one function. doEdit is getting too 8587 big! 8588 * (bug 7554) The correct MIME type for SVG images is now displayed on the 8589 image page (image/svg+xml, not image/svg). 8590 * (bug 7883) Added autoblock whitelisting feature, using which specific ranges 8591 can be protected from autoblocking. These ranges are specified, in list format, 8592 in the autoblock_whitelist system message. 8593 * Added placeholders for text injection by hooks to EditPage.php 8594 * (bug 8009) Automatic edit summary for redirects is not filled for edits in existing pages 8595 * Installer support for experimental MySQL 4.1/5.0 binary-safe schema 8596 * Use INSERT IGNORE for db-based BagOStuff add/insert, for more memcache-like 8597 behavior when keys already exist on add (instead of dying with an error...) 8598 * Add a hook 'UploadForm:initial' before the upload form is generated, and two 8599 member variable for text injection into the form, which can be filled by the hooks. 8600 * (bug 6295) Add a "revision patching" functionality, where an edit can be undone 8601 (with a functionality similar to diff rev1 rev2 | patch -R rev3 -o rev3). 8602 This is triggered by including &undo=revid in an edit URL. A link to a URL 8603 that will undo a given edit is shown on NEW revision headers on diff pages. 8604 The link leads to a "Show Changes" page showing what will be done to undo the 8605 edit. 8606 * Fix display of link in "already rolled back" message for image/category pages 8607 * (bug 6016) Left-aligned images should stack vertically, like right-aligned 8608 images, not horizontally. 8609 * Patch from LeonWP: added UploadForm:BeforeProcessing hook in SpecialUpload.php 8610 * Add AuthPluginSetup hook to override $wgAuth after configuration 8611 * Fix regression in authentication hook auto-creation on login 8612 * (bug 8110) Allow spaces in ISBNs 8613 * (bug 8024) Introduce "send me copies of emails I send to others" preference 8614 * Added 'EditPage::attemptSave' hook before an article is saved. 8615 * (bug 8083) Applied patch for sk localisation 8616 * Add a backslash character to the edit token, to prevent edits via certain 8617 broken proxies that mangle such characters in form submissions 8618 * (bug 7461) Allow overwriting pages using importTextFile.php 8619 * (bug 7946) importTextFile.php doesn't perform pre-save transform 8620 * (bug 8117) {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} showed weird default if $wgLocalTZoffset set; 8621 now uses current time for previews and if timestamp can't be loaded from DB 8622 * {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} now uses site local timezone instead of user timezone 8623 to ensure consistent behavior 8624 * {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} and friends should now work on non-MySQL backends 8625 * (bug 7671) Observe canonical media namespace prefix in Linker::formatComment 8626 * Added js variable wgCurRevisionId to the output 8627 * (bug 8141) Cleanup of Parser::doTableStuff, patch by AzaTht 8628 * (bug 8042) Make miser mode caching limits settable via $wgQueryCacheLimit 8629 instead of hardcoding to 1000 8630 * Enable QueryPage classes to override list formatting 8631 * (bug 5485) Show number of intervening revisions in diff view 8632 * (bug 8100) Fix XHTML validity in Taiwanese localization 8633 * Added redirect to section feature. Use it wisely. 8634 * Added a configuration variable allowing the "break out of framesets" feature 8635 to be switched on and off ($wgBreakFrames). Off by default. 8636 * Allow Xml::check() $attribs parameter to override 'value' attribute 8637 * DB schema change: added two columns (rc_old_len and rc_new_len) to the recentchanges table to store 8638 the text lengths before and after the edit 8639 * (bug 1085) Made Special:Recentchanges show the character difference between the changed revisions 8640 * Removed a redundant <strong> tag from diff pages that was causing display issues for some users 8641 * (bug 8203) The keyboard shortcut for "log out" was removed, because users were pressing it 8642 when they intended to press the shortcut for "preview". 8643 * (bug 8148) Handle non-removable output buffers gracefully when cleaning 8644 buffers for HTTP 304 responses, StreamFile, and Special:Export. 8645 Duplicated code merged into wfResetOutputBuffers() and wfClearOutputBuffers() 8646 * Special:AllPages : 'next page' link now point to the first title of the next 8647 chunk instead of pointing to the last title of current chunk. 8648 * (bug 4673) Special:AllPages : add a 'previous' link (new message 'prevpage') 8649 * (bug 8121) wfRandom() was not between 0 and 1 8650 * Add static method Parser::createAssocArgs($args), so parser functions can 8651 use the same code to parse arguments as the templates do. 8652 * Change behavior of logins using the temporary e-mailed password (as stored 8653 in user_newpassword hash field). Instead of just logging in silently and 8654 leaving the previous user_password field in place indefinitely, the user 8655 is now prompted to set a new password. 8656 8657 The password-changing form is at Special:Resetpass; currently it's only 8658 usable for changing from the temporary password during login, but it 8659 could perhaps be generalized, replacing the subform in preferences. 8660 8661 Once the new password is set successfully, the temporary password is wiped 8662 so it cannot be used to login a second time, and the login process 8663 is completed. 8664 * Suppress 'mail new password' button on login form if $wgAuth forbids 8665 changing user passwords; it wouldn't work very well... 8666 * Consolidate password length checks and $wgAuth manipulation into 8667 User::setPassword() to avoid duplicate code in different places 8668 that set passwords. 8669 * User::setPassword() now throws PasswordError exceptions if the password 8670 is illegal or cannot be set via $wgAuth. These can be caught and a human- 8671 readable error message displayed by UI code. 8672 * Added Title::isSubpage() 8673 * (bug 8241) Don't consider user pages of User:Foo.css to be CSS subpages 8674 * Set an explicit class on framed thumbnail inner divs and images, changed some 8675 CSS to use these instead of using descendent selectors. 8676 * Accept null parameter to User::setPassword() as indicating the password 8677 field should be cleared to an unusable state. Login will only be possible 8678 after the password is reset, for instance by e-mail. 8679 * (bug 6394) Invalidate the password set for "by e-mail" account creations 8680 to avoid accidental empty password creations. 8681 * Made the show change size function work on page moves, page creations, and 8682 log entries. Also fixed it in the javascript recentchanges. 8683 * (bug 8239) correctly get 50 new contributions when clicking '(50 next)' 8684 * (bug 2259) Fix old regression where e-mail addresses were no longer 8685 confirmed on login with mailed password. 8686 * Add a notification about the confirmation mail sent during account 8687 creation, so people don't immediately go off to request a second one. 8688 * Add a warning on Special:Confirmemail if a code was already sent and has 8689 not yet expired. 8690 * Add user_editcount field to provide data for heuristics on account use. 8691 Incremented on edit, with lazy initialization from past revision data. 8692 Can batch-initialize with maintenance/initEditCount.php (not yet friendly 8693 to replication environments, this will do all accounts in one query). 8694 * Allow raw SQL subsections in Database::update() SET portion as well as 8695 for WHERE portion. Handy for increments and such. 8696 * User::getOption now accept a default value to override default user values 8697 this makes it consistent with WebRequest::get* methods. Corrected code in 8698 various places accordingly. 8699 * (bug 8264) Fix JavaScript global vars for XHTML mode 8700 * Make $wgSiteNotice value wikitext again, for consistency with editable 8701 MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice. 8702 * (bug 8044) When redirecting from the canonical name of the special page 8703 to the localised one, parameters/subpages are omitted 8704 * (bug 8164) Special:Booksources should use GET for form submission 8705 * Rewrite Special:Booksources to clean up interface and remove redundant code 8706 * (bug 7925) Change Special:Allmessages message name filter javascript to be 8707 a bit more responsive and easier on the CPU 8708 * (bug 4488) Support watching pages on deletion; introduces new user preference 8709 * Minor restructuring of Special:Preferences; "watch pages I edit" and "watch 8710 pages I create" options now accessible under "Watchlist" options 8711 * (bug 8153) <nowiki> doesn't work in site notice 8712 * (bug 6690) wfMsgNoTrans() transforms messages 8713 * (bug 8274) Wrap edit tools in a <div> with a specified class 8714 * Detect PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug and abort in WebStart.php; too many things break 8715 mysteriously otherwise (detection code copied from install-utils.inc) 8716 * (bug 8295) Change handling of <center> tags in doBlockLevels() to match that 8717 of <div> 8718 * (bug 8110) Make magic ISBN linking stricter: only match ten-digit sequences 8719 (plus optional ISBN-13 prefix) with no immediately following alphanumeric 8720 character, disallow multiple consecutive internal redirects 8721 * (bug 2785) Accept optional colon prefix in links when formatting comments 8722 * Don't show "you can view and copy the source of this page" message for 8723 pages which don't exist 8724 * (bug 8310) Blank line added to top of 'post' when page is blank 8725 * (bug 8109) Template parameters ignored in "recentchangestext" 8726 * Gracefully skip redirect-to-fragment on WebKit versions less than 420; 8727 it messes up on current versions of Safari but is ok in the latest 8728 nightlies. Checking the version number will allow it to automatically 8729 work when new releases of Safari appear. 8730 * Fix regression in thumb styles; size and padding didn't match with 8731 new arrangement. 8732 * (bug 8333) Fix quick user data update on login password change on 8733 replication database setups. User data is now pulled from master 8734 instead of slave in User::loadFromDatabase, ensuring that it is 8735 fresh and accurate when read and then saved back into cache. 8736 This was breaking with the Special:Rename operation which 8737 automatically logs the user in with the new password after changing 8738 it; pulling from slave meant the record was often not the updated 8739 one. 8740 * (bug 8335) Set image width to the first valid parameter found. 8741 * (bug 8350) Fix watchlist viewing bug when using Postgres. 8742 * (bug 6603) When warning about invalid file extensions, output the bit 8743 of the extension we actually checked 8744 * (bug 7669) Drop defaults on BLOB/TEXT columns for better compatibility 8745 with MySQL's strict mode, often enabled by the Windows installer. 8746 The defaults are ignored anyway when strict mode is off... 8747 * (bug 7685) Use explicit values for ar_text and ar_flags when deleting, 8748 for better compatibility with MySQL's strict mode 8749 * Update default interwiki values to reflect changed location of ursine: 8750 * (bug 5411) Remove autopatrol preference 8751 * Users who have the "autopatrol" permission will have their edits marked as 8752 patrolled automatically 8753 * Users who do not have the "autopatrol" permission will no longer be able 8754 to mark their own edits as patrolled 8755 * Introduce 'PingLimiter' hook; see docs/hooks.txt for more information 8756 * (bug 532) Tweaked alt text for some interface messages 8757 * (bug 8231) Gave useful alt text to the main <img> on image pages 8758 * (bug 371) Remove alt text for "Enlarge" icon on thumbnails 8759 * Initialize user_editcount to 0 instead of NULL for newly created accounts 8760 * (bug 3696) Strip LRM and RLM characters from titles to work around the 8761 problem some people have where titles cut-and-pasted from lists include 8762 the bidi override characters appended to the lists. 8763 A more thorough blacklist for forbidden and translatable characters would 8764 be wise, though, as might a cleaner method for the lists in the first place. 8765 * Fix regression in email password resets on read-restricted sites 8766 * Set tabindex on fields in deletion form so you don't have to tab through 8767 the links in the sitenotice 8768 * (bug 8271) Show full time and date on viewer for individual deleted 8769 revisions 8770 * (bug 8214) Output file size limit and actual file size in appropriate units 8771 on Special:Upload 8772 * (bug 8016) Purge objectcache table during upgrade processes - use the --nopurge 8773 option to prevent this when running maintenance/update.php 8774 * (bug 7612) Remove superfluous link to Special:Categories from result items 8775 on Special:Mostcategories 8776 * {{PLURAL:}} now handles formatted numbers correctly 8777 * (bug 8331) Added the change size value to watchlists; therefore made 8778 watchlists use RecentChange::newFromRow() instead of newFromCurRow() 8779 * (bug 8351) Fix undo for simple reverts 8780 * (bug 6856) User::clearNotification() does not respect read-only mode 8781 * (bug 6853) Use a checkbox on the installer form to indicate that a superuser 8782 account should be used; this is clearer than the old check which relied on 8783 the password never being an obscure value 8784 * Remove old unused watchlist cache, which was a leftover from the old schema 8785 where watchlists were more expensive to generate 8786 * Minor cosmetic changes to Special:Userrights 8787 * Added wgCanonicalSpecialPageName to JavaScript variables 8788 * Fix image deleting when using Postgres. 8789 * Output both source and destination titles in maintenance/moveBatch.php 8790 * Added basic parser tests for language variants 8791 * Enable selflinks and categories to be written in some of the language variants 8792 * Prevent conversion of JavaScript code in language variants 8793 * Output software version number in maintenance/parserTests.php 8794 * (bug 7169) Use Ajax to watch/unwatch articles if enabled 8795 * Make variant table caching a little more robust, using main language code 8796 in cache key.

This should solve some common 8872 "blank page" problems. 8873 8874 === PHP 5.0 64-bit === 8875 8876 MediaWiki now checks for a condition where PHP 5.0.x corrupts array data 8877 on 64-bit systems and warns you to upgrade PHP to solve the problem. This 8878 bug causes Special: pages to fail on affected systems under MediaWiki 1.8 8879 and higher, and subtler data corruption on earlier versions. 8880 8881 The only known workaround is to upgrade PHP to 5.1 or later, which you 8882 probably should do anyway for security reasons! 8883 8884 === MySQL 5 === 8885 8886 MediaWiki should now install and run correctly on MySQL 5.0 and higher when 8887 MySQL's "strict mode" is enabled. (This is now the default for many Windows 8888 installations, though it seems to remain off by default on Unix.) 8889 8890 This fixes errors about "cannot default default value for BLOB/TEXT fields". 8891 8892 === ImageMagick === 8893 8894 Note that ImageMagick older than 6.x may no longer work for image resizing 8895 due to use of the -thumbnail option. 8896 8897 8898 == 1.8 Behavior changes == 8899 8900 === Localized special pages === 8901 8902 The names of Special: pages can now be localized, so links and URLs to them 8903 are more legible in languages that aren't English. 8904 8905 Not all languages have included localized names yet. 8906 8907 === E-mail password === 8908 8909 Users are now required to set a new password for themselves when they first 8910 log in with a newly generated e-mailed password. 8911 8912 Requesting passwords frequently is prevented to reduce abusive mailbombing. 8913 8914 === Undo revision === 8915 8916 An "undo" link now appears in diff view for easier reverting of older edits. 8917 When GNU diff3 is available for edit conflict merging, this can make it much 8918 easier to "undo" the changes of an older edit when there are surrounding 8919 changes elsewhere in the page. 8920 8921 The changes must be manually reviewed and approved, as with conventional 8922 full-revision reverts. 8923 8924 === Blocking === 8925 8926 User blocks can be set to disable the automatic blocking of IP addresses the 8927 account logs in with. 8928 8929 8930 == 1.8 Database changes == 8931 8932 * new 'redirect' table stores data on page redirects 8933 * new 'querycachetwo' table used for some cached special pages 8934 * 'ipblocks' table adds 'ipb_enable_autoblock' 8935 * 'recentchanges' table adds 'rc_old_len', 'rc_new_len' for size tracking 8936 * 'user' table has added 'user_newpass_time' and 'user_editcount' fields 8937 * some indexes have been updated on 'recentchanges' 8938 8939 == 1.8 Configuration changes == 8940 8941 Several configuration options have changed since 1.8: 8942 8943 === $wgEnableAPI === 8944 8945 The experimental machine API interface is now enabled by default, read-only. 8946 You can disable it by setting $wgEnableAPI = false; in LocalSettings.php. 8947 8948 === $wgPathInfo === 8949 8950 The use of PATH_INFO (the text after the script name in 'index.php/Blah') 8951 is controlled by the $wgUsePathInfo setting. This is now explicitly disabled 8952 for CGI, apache2filter, and ISAPI configurations of PHP, for more consistency 8953 with the autodetection from the installer. 8954 8955 In some rarer configurations you may have to switch $wgUsePathInfo from false 8956 to true or, perhaps, from true to false to make things work properly if bad 8957 PATH_INFO data comes through the server. 8958 8959 The wiki now tries to detect this condition and should show you an error 8960 message describing what to change instead of sending the browser into an 8961 infinite redirect loop. 8962 8963 === $wgScript and other path settings === 8964 8965 The following configuration variables are now automatically set in Setup.php 8966 if they are not overridden in LocalSettings.php: 8967 8968 from $wgScriptPath: 8969 + $wgScript 8970 | \- $wgArticlePath 8971 + $wgRedirectScript 8972 + $wgStylePath 8973 + $wgUploadPath 8974 \- $wgLogo 8975 + $wgMathPath 8976 8977 from $IP: 8978 - $wgStyleDirectory 8979 + $wgUploadDirectory 8980 \- $wgMathDirectory 8981 + $wgTmpDirectory 8982 8983 Newly generated configuration files will by default include only $wgScriptPath 8984 (hardcoded from the installer) and $IP (detected at runtime). 8985 8986 Old configuration files which specify all these values explicitly should 8987 continue to work just fine, but if you use the defaults you can remove them 8988 to reduce clutter. 8989 8990 === $wgGroupPermissions === 8991 8992 The sysop group now holds the "autopatrol" and "ipblock-exempt" rights by 8993 default. 8994 8995 "autopatrol" replaces the preference for marking ones own edits patrolled 8996 by default; users holding this permission will automatically have their 8997 edits patrolled, while others cannot mark their own edits as patrolled 8998 even if they have patrolling rights. 8999 9000 "ipblock-exempt" excludes the user from IP blocks; accounts which are blocked 9001 explicitly by name will still be blocked, however. This is given to sysops 9002 to minimize annoyance from accidental "collateral damage"; remember that a 9003 sysop will be able to lift the block if they desire. 9004 9005 The bot group now holds the "nominornewtalk" right. A user with this right 9006 will not trigger new message notifications when making minor edits to user 9007 talk pages. This is meant to minimize annoyance from maintenance bot 9008 processes. 9009 9010 === $wgUseWatchlistCache === 9011 9012 Watchlist caching has been removed. The feature was not maintained, and has 9013 been unnecessary since switching to the 'recentchanges' database table 9014 reduced server pressure for Wikipedia's watchlists. 9015 9016 === $wgBreakFrames === 9017 9018 MediaWiki in the past attempted to detect when it was embedded in a frameset 9019 and "break out" of it, assuming it to be hostile. 9020 9021 This behavior is now disabled by default, but can be reenabled by setting 9022 $wgBreakFrames to true in LocalSettings.php. 9023 9024 9025 == 1.8 New settings == 9026 9027 === $wgVariantArticlePath === 9028 9029 For languages with script variant support (Chinese, Serbian, and others), 9030 it's possible to use alternate URL paths to select the variant for article 9031 display, setting $wgVariantArticlePath. 9032 9033 Documentation for this setting would be useful. 9034 9035 === $wgMaxMsgCacheEntrySize === 9036 9037 The message cache can now skip items larger than a given size; this allows 9038 it to better handle the primary caching case when large CSS and JS blobs are 9039 present. 9040 9041 === $wgStyleVersion === 9042 9043 When making significant changes to skin stylesheets and JavaScript files, 9044 you can append a string to this variable to tweak the generated URLs, 9045 forcing newly rendered pages to bring in a fresh version despite server- 9046 or browser-side caching. 9047 9048 Normally this will be set in the course of MediaWiki development, but 9049 if doing development on a custom skin you may wish to poke it as well. 9050 9051 === $wgRCShowChangedSize === 9052 9053 Special:Recentchanges and Special:Watchlist now show the number of bytes 9054 added or removed to an article to give an idea of the size of the edit. 9055 This information was previously available only in the IRC update feeds. 9056 9057 To disable this site-wide, set $wgRCShowChangedSize to false. 9058 (Individual users can suppress the data in custom CSS.) 9059 9060 Adjust $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold to trigger highlighting of particularly 9061 large changes. 9062 9063 The formatting of the size figure can be adjusted through the 9064 [[MediaWiki:Rc-change-size]] message. 9065 9066 === $wgQueryCacheLimit === 9067 9068 The number of rows stored for "expensive" special pages in miser mode 9069 can now be adjusted up or down from the default 1000. 9070 9071 === $wgDisableQueryPageUpdate === 9072 9073 Individual "expensive" special pages can be skipped in processing by 9074 updateSpecialPages if added to this list. 9075 9076 === $wgSorbsUrl === 9077 9078 The base hostname for the DNS-based proxy blacklist can now be overridden 9079 when $wgEnableSorbs is set, to use a different blacklist instead of SORBS. 9080 The blacklist would need to respond the same was as SORBS; any positive 9081 response will be taken as a proxy. 9082 9083 === $wgAjaxWatch === 9084 9085 Experimental AJAX mode for the watch/unwatch tabs to execute inline. 9086 Does not include the UI messages describing how to reach the watchlist, 9087 so you may not want it on a general-audience site just yet. 9088 9089 === $wgParserTestFiles === 9090 9091 MediaWiki's parser test suite can now be expanded with additional test 9092 files. Custom extensions can add their test files to this array, and 9093 they will be run along with the main tests by maintenance/parserTests.php 9094 9095 9096 == Changes since 1.7 == 9097 9098 * Introduced AjaxResponse object, superceding AjaxCachePolicy 9099 * Changes to sajax_do_call: optionally accept an element to fill instead of a 9100 callback function; take the target function or element as a third parameter; 9101 pass the full XMLHttpRequest object to the handler function, instead of just 9102 the resultText value; use HTTP response codes to report errors. 9103 * (bug 6562) Removed unmaintained ParserXml.php for now 9104 * History paging overlap bug fixed 9105 * (bug 6586) Regression in "unblocked" subtitle 9106 * Don't put empty-page message into view-source when page text is blank 9107 * (bug 6587) Remove redundant "allnonarticles" message 9108 * Block improvements: Allow blocks on anonymous users only. Optionally allow 9109 or disallow account creation from blocked IP addresses. Prevent duplicate 9110 blocks. Fixed the problem of expiry and unblocking erroneously affecting 9111 multiple blocks. Fixed confusing lack of error message when a blocked user 9112 attempts to create an account. Fixed inefficiency of Special:Ipblocklist in 9113 the presence of large numbers of blocks; added indexes and implemented an 9114 indexed pager. 9115 * (bug 6448) Allow filtering of Special:Newpages according to username 9116 * (bug 6618) Improve permissions/error detection in Special:Lockdb 9117 * Quick hack for extension testing: parser test doesn't create new message 9118 cache object. 9119 * (bug 6299) Maintain parser's revision ID across recursive calls to fix 9120 {{REVISIONID}} when Cite extension is used 9121 * (bug 6622) Removed deprecated function Image::newFromTitle 9122 * (bug 6627) Fix regression in Special:Ipblocklist with table prefix 9123 * Removed forced dereferencements (new() returns a reference in PHP5) 9124 * Note about $wgUploadSizeWarning using byte 9125 * (bug 6592) Add most viewed pages summary to Special:Statistics 9126 * Pre-strip characters ignored in IDNs from URLs so they can't be used 9127 to break the blacklists for regular URLs 9128 * Fix regression in blocking of user accounts 9129 * (bug 6635) Fix regression searching for range blocks on Ipblocklist 9130 * Fix regression searching Ipblocklist with ugly URLs 9131 * (bug 6639) Use a consistent default for upload directories 9132 * Preserve entered reason when reporting unconfirmed lock on Special:Lockdb 9133 * (bug 6642) Don't offer to unlock the database when it isn't locked 9134 * cleanupTitles.php changed from --dry-run option to --fix, so default 9135 behavior is now a non-invasive check as with namespaceDupes.php 9136 * (bug 6660) Fix behavior of EditPage::blockedPage() when the article does 9137 not exist; now doesn't show the source box if the user hasn't provided it 9138 (blocked mid-edit) and the page doesn't exist 9139 * Improve default value of "blockedtext" 9140 * (bug 6680) Added localisation for Dutch bookstore list (nl) 9141 * Renamed maintainace script redundanttrans.php to unusedMessages.php - clearer usage 9142 * Fix regression which allowed some blocked users to create additional accounts 9143 * (bug 6657) Fix Hungarian linktrail 9144 * (bug 6751) Fix preview of blanked section with edit on first preview option 9145 * (bug 5456) Separate MediaWiki:Search into messages for both noun and verb, 9146 introduced 'MediaWiki:Searchbutton' 9147 * Made lines from initialiseMessages() appear as list items during installation 9148 * Moved the bulk of the localisation data from the Language*.php files to the 9149 Messages*.php files. Deleted most of the Languages*.php files. 9150 * Introduced "stub global" framework to provide deferred initialisation of core 9151 modules. 9152 * Removed placeholder values for $wgTitle and $wgArticle, these variables will 9153 now be null during the initialisation process, until they are set by index.php 9154 or another entry point. 9155 * Added DBA cache type, for BDB-style caches. 9156 * Removed custom date format functions, replacing them with a format string in 9157 the style of PHP's date(). Used string identifiers instead of integer 9158 identifiers, in both the language files and user preferences. Migration should 9159 be transparent in most cases. 9160 * Simplified the initialisation API for LoadBalancer objects. 9161 * Removed the broken altencoding feature. 9162 * Moved default user options and toggles from Language to User. Language objects 9163 are still able to define default preference overrides and extra user toggles, 9164 via a slightly different interface. 9165 * Don't include the date option in the parser cache rendering hash unless 9166 $wgUseDynamicDates is enabled. 9167 * Merged LanguageUtf8 with Language. Removed LanguageUtf8.php. 9168 * Removed inclusion of language files from the bottom of Language.php. This is 9169 now consistently done from Language::factory(). 9170 * Add the name of the executing maintenance script to the debug log.

The normalization is a bit 10686 buggy and can make incorrect foldings in the query string and such, so isn't 10687 reliable beyond the hostname where it's used for the spam bulk checker. 10688 * Don't URL-decode in the title attribute for URL links; it can produce false 10689 results that don't code back to their original values. 10690 * (bug 4611) Add user preference (default on) to add new pages to creators's watchlist 10691 * (bug 5286) Fix regression in display of missing/bad revision IDs 10692 * (bug 4729) Add user preference that marks a user's edits as patrolled if user is able to 10693 * (bug 4630) Add user preference to prompt users when entering blank edit summaries 10694 * Added optional suggest feature for the search box.

The bug 10737 affects new installations of 1.5.6 only. If the user specified the MySQL root 10738 password, to allow the installer to create an unprivileged account, the 10739 installer would not only create the new account but also change the root 10740 password to be equal to the password of the new account. 10741 10742 Anyone affected by this bug will need to change the root password back 10743 manually. For information about how to change passwords in MySQL please see: 10744 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/passwords.html 10745 10746 This version includes fixes for compatibility with Internet Explorer 7 10747 beta 2, and various other bugs; see the full changelog at the end of 10748 the release notes. 10749 10750 10751 == MediaWiki 1.5.6 == 10752 10753 January 19, 2006 10754 10755 MediaWiki 1.5.6 is a security and bugfix maintenance release. 10756 10757 A bug in edit comment formatting could send PHP into an infinite loop 10758 if certain malformed links were included. In most installations, this 10759 would cause the script to fail after PHP's 30-second failsafe timeout. 10760 10761 Some improvements have been made to the installer which should make 10762 installation possible on a system with a broken MySQL "root" account. 10763 10764 For several other minor fixes, see the complete changelog at the end 10765 of this file. 10766 10767 10768 == MediaWiki 1.5.5 == 10769 10770 January 5, 2006 10771 10772 MediaWiki 1.5.5 is a security and bugfix maintenance release. 10773 10774 Detection for uploads of Windows Metafile (.wmf) images has been added 10775 to help protect against a client-side vulnerability in unpatched Microsoft 10776 Windows operating systems. 10777 10778 Sites which have enabled uploads and added non-standard file types 10779 (such as .ogg, .doc, or .pdf) should upgrade to this release to ensure 10780 that malicious .wmf files can't be uploaded with a fake extension; 10781 such files could put visitors to the site at risk. 10782 10783 For more details on this, see: 10784 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile_vulnerability 10785 10786 Additionally, a maintenance script removeUnusedAccounts.php has been added; 10787 this replaces an older Perl script which had not been updated for the new 10788 schema in 1.5. 10789 10790 10791 == MediaWiki 1.5.4 == 10792 10793 December 21, 2005 10794 10795 MediaWiki 1.5.4 is a security and bugfix maintenance release. 10796 10797 A hardcoded internal placeholder string has been replaced with a random 10798 one. This closes a hole where security checks in inline style attributes 10799 could be bypassed, injecting JavaScript code that could execute in 10800 Microsoft Internet Explorer. 10801 10802 Other browsers would not be vulnerable. 10803 10804 Several minor fixes are included in this release, most notably a fix 10805 to clear the "you have new messages" flag properly for usernames 10806 containing spaces when e-mail notification is enabled. 10807 10808 See the changelog at the end of the release notes for a full list of 10809 fixes. 10810 10811 10812 == MediaWiki 1.5.3 == 10813 10814 December 4, 2005 10815 10816 MediaWiki 1.5.3 is a security and bugfix maintenance release. 10817 10818 Validation of the user language option was broken by a code change in 10819 May 2005, opening the possibility of remote code execution as this 10820 parameter is used in forming a class name dynamically created with 10821 eval(). 10822 10823 The validation has been corrected in this version. All prior 1.5 release 10824 and prelease versions are affected; 1.4 and earlier and not affected. 10825 10826 Additionally several bugs have been fixed; see the changelog later in 10827 this file for a complete list. 10828 10829 10830 == MediaWiki 1.5.2 == 10831 10832 November 2, 2005 10833 10834 MediaWiki 1.5.2 is a bugfix maintenance release. 10835 10836 A change in PHP 4.4.1 and PHP 5.1.0RC broke handling of extension and 10837 <pre> sections, causing garbage data to be inserted in output and saved 10838 edits. This version works around the change. 10839 10840 Several other glitches with MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.0.5 were also fixed; 10841 see the change log below for a complete list. 10842 10843 10844 == MediaWiki 1.5.1 == 10845 10846 October 26, 2005 10847 10848 MediaWiki 1.5.1 is a bugfix and security maintenance release, and is a 10849 recommended upgrade for all installations. 10850 10851 This release includes further corrections to the inline CSS style sanitation 10852 which works around a JavaScript "feature" on Microsoft Internet Explorer. 10853 Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows may be vulnerable to 10854 XSS injections on prior versions; users of standards-compliant browsers 10855 are not vulnerable. 10856 10857 Major fixes include: 10858 * Image pages work again with resizing disabled 10859 * Works in MySQL 5.0 strict mode 10860 10861 There is experimental support in this release for explicitly declaring 10862 the UTF-8 charset in the database; this has been tested with MySQL 5.0.15 10863 but should work on 4.1 as well. 10864 10865 IMPORTANT: Changing this setting on an existing wiki may produce interesting 10866 data corruption, depending on server configuration. Page contents should, 10867 usually, be unaffected, but page titles and other items may be. Limitations 10868 in MySQL's Unicode support mean that characters outside the BMP cannot be used 10869 in page titles or various other fields when using this mode. 10870 10871 Table definitions are in maintenance/mysql5/tables.sql, and the runtime 10872 option to send 'SET NAMES utf8' is set by $wgDBmysql5 = true. 10873 10874 (MySQL 3.23.x and 4.0.x do not support character set declarations; on these 10875 versions MediaWiki simply works with UTF-8 data and MySQL is blissfully 10876 unaware of it.) 10877 10878 10879 10880 == MediaWiki 1.5.0 final == 10881 10882 October 5, 2005 10883 10884 MediaWiki 1.5.0 is the new stable release branch of MediaWiki, and is 10885 recommended for all new installations. 10886 10887 Any wikis running a 1.5 beta or release candidate are strongly recommended 10888 to upgrade to the final release, which includes a number of bug fixes and 10889 a security fix for CSS bugs in Microsoft Internet Explorer. 10890 10891 IMPORTANT: Running a 1.3 or 1.4 wiki and don't want to jump to 1.5 yet? 10892 Be sure to upgrade to 1.3.17 or 1.4.11, also released today. Versions 10893 prior to 1.3.16 and 1.4.10 have a serious data corruption bug which is 10894 triggered by a spambot known to operate in the wild. 10895 10896 10897 === What's new in 1.5? === 10898 10899 Schema: 10900 The core table schema has changed significantly. This should make better 10901 use of the database's cache and disk I/O, and make significantly speed up 10902 rename and delete operations on pages with very long edit histories. 10903 10904 Unfortunately this does mean upgrading a wiki of size from 1.4 will require 10905 some downtime for the schema restructuring, but future storage backend 10906 changes should be able to integrate into the new system more easily. 10907 10908 Permalinks: 10909 The current revision of a page now has a permanent 'oldid' number assigned 10910 immediately, and the id numbers are now preserved across deletion/undeletion. 10911 A permanent reference to the current revision of a page is now just a matter 10912 of going to the 'history' tab and copying the first link in the list. 10913 10914 Page move log: 10915 Renames of pages are now recorded in Special:Log and the page history. 10916 A handy revert link is available from the log for sysops. 10917 10918 Editing diff: 10919 Ever lost track of what you'd done so far during an edit? A 'Show diff' 10920 button on the edit page now makes it easy to remember. 10921 10922 Uploads: 10923 It's now possible to specify the final filename of an upload distinct 10924 from the original filename on your disk. 10925 10926 An image link for a missing file will now take you straight to the upload page. 10927 10928 More metadata is pre-extracted from uploaded images, which will ease pressure 10929 on disk or NFS volumes used to store images. EXIF metadata is displayed on 10930 the image description page if PHP is configured with the necessary module. 10931 10932 If .svg files are added to the upload whitelist, you can choose to render 10933 them to rasterized .png images for inline display using one of several 10934 external helper programs. See DefaultSettings.php for SVG options. 10935 10936 User accounts: 10937 There are some changes to the user permissions system, with assignable 10938 groups. Note that this does *not* allow you to make pages which are only 10939 accessible to certain groups. 10940 10941 For details see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights 10942 10943 E-mail: 10944 User-to-user e-mail can now be restricted to require a mail-back confirmation 10945 first to reduce potential for abuse with false addresses. 10946 10947 Updates to user talk pages and watchlist entries can optionally send e-mail 10948 notifications. 10949 10950 External hooks: 10951 A somewhat experimental interface for hooking in an external editor 10952 application is included. 10953 10954 And... 10955 A bunch of stuff we forgot to mention. 10956 10957 10958 === What's gone? === 10959 10960 Latin-1: 10961 Wikis must now be encoded in Unicode UTF-8; this has been the default for 10962 some time, but some languages could optionally be installed in Latin-1 mode. 10963 This is no longer supported. 10964 10965 You can check if your current wiki is in Latin-1 mode by using your browser's 10966 "view source"; look for a line like this: 10967 10968 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> 10969 10970 If it says charset=utf-8, you're ready. If it says charset=iso8859-1, 10971 you may need to convert your data. (English-language wikis avoiding 10972 any accented characters may be able to get away without conversion.) 10973 10974 MySQL 3.x: 10975 Some optimization hacks for MySQL 3.x have been removed as part of the schema 10976 clean-up (specifically, the inverse_timestamp fields). 10977 10978 MediaWiki 1.5 may still run on 3.x, but wikis of non-trivial size should 10979 very seriously consider upgrading to a more modern release. MySQL 3.x support 10980 will probably be entirely dropped in the next major release. 10981 10982 Special:Maintenance 10983 These tools were, ironically enough, not really maintained. This special 10984 page has been removed; insofar as some of its pieces were useful and haven't 10985 already been supplanted by other special pages they should be rewritten in 10986 an efficient and safe manner in the future. 10987 10988 10989 === Caveats === 10990 10991 Upgrade: 10992 Wikis in Latin-1 encoding are no longer supported; only Unicode UTF-8. 10993 A new option $wgLegacyEncoding is provided to allow on-the-fly recoding of 10994 old page text entries, but other metadata fields (titles, comments etc) need 10995 to be pre-converted. The standard upgrade process does not yet fully automate 10996 this, but you can try the alternate partial-upgrader in upgrade1_5.php. 10997 10998 The upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 schema has not been tested for all cases, so 10999 it's possible you may experience problems in some combinations. 11000 11001 Backups: 11002 The text entries of deleted pages are no longer removed from the main 11003 text table on deletion. If you provide public backup dumps of your databases, 11004 you will probably want to use the new XML-format dump generator, available 11005 as maintenance/dumpBackup.php. 11006 11007 For more information on how we run our own public data dumps at Wikimedia, 11008 see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps 11009 11010 PostgreSQL: 11011 The table definitions for PostgreSQL install are out of date. PostgreSQL 11012 support may return in later releases, pending appropriate patches. 11013 11014 MySQL 4.1+: 11015 Some users may encounter installation problems with MySQL 4.1 or higher 11016 due to strange charset encoding / collation configurations. Try setting 11017 to 'latin1' or 'utf8' if you encounter problems. 11018 11019 11020 11021 == MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 4 == 11022 11023 August 29, 2005 11024 11025 MediaWiki 1.5rc4 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series. 11026 It fixes compatibility with PHP 5.1, and corrects two cross-site scripting 11027 security bugs: 11028 11029 * <math> tags were handled incorrectly when TeX rendering support is off, 11030 as in the default configuration. 11031 * Extension or <nowiki> sections in Wiki table syntax could bypass HTML 11032 style attribute restrictions for cross-site scripting attacks against 11033 Microsoft Internet Explorer 11034 11035 Wikis where the optional math support has been *enabled* are not vulnerable 11036 to the first, but are vulnerable to the second. 11037 11038 11039 11040 == MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 3 == 11041 11042 August 24, 2005 11043 11044 MediaWiki 1.5rc3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series. 11045 It fixes several major problems in 1.5rc2: 11046 11047 * Fixed a cross-site scripting injection in the search form 11048 (broken since 1.5beta1) 11049 11050 * Fixed upgrades from 1.4 database schema 11051 (broken since 1.5rc2) 11052 11053 1.3 and 1.4 releases are not vulnerable to the XSS bug, but anyone 11054 running an earlier 1.5 beta or release candidate should upgrade 11055 immediately. 11056 11057 11058 == MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 2 == 11059 11060 August 23, 2005 11061 11062 MediaWiki 1.5rc2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series. 11063 Numerous bug fixes since last beta, plus a security fix; see change 11064 log below for full details. 11065 11066 A flaw in the interaction between extensions and HTML attribute 11067 sanitization was discovered which could allow unauthorized use 11068 of offsite resources in style sheets, and possible exploitation 11069 of a JavaScript injection feature on Microsoft Internet Explorer. 11070 11071 This version expands the returned text and properly checks it 11072 before output. 11073 11074 A 1.5rc1 release was mistakenly made from the incorrect source code 11075 branch; 1.5rc2 is identical to the actual 1.5rc1 in revision control 11076 except for version number. 11077 11078 11079 == MediaWiki 1.5 beta 4 == 11080 11081 July 30, 2005 11082 11083 MediaWiki 1.5 beta 4 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series. 11084 A number of bugs have been fixed since beta 3; see the full changelist below. 11085 11086 11087 == MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 == 11088 11089 July 7, 2005 11090 11091 MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release 11092 series, with a security update over beta 2. 11093 11094 Incorrect escaping of a parameter in the page move template could 11095 be used to inject JavaScript code by getting a victim to visit a 11096 maliciously constructed URL. Users of vulnerable releases are 11097 recommended to upgrade to this release. 11098 11099 Vulnerable versions: 11100 * 1.5 preview series: n <= 1.5beta2 vulnerable, fixed in 1.5beta3 11101 * 1.4 stable series: 1.4beta6 <= n <= 1.4.5 vulnerable, fixed in 1.4.6 11102 * 1.3 legacy series: not vulnerable 11103 11104 This release also includes several bug fixes and localization updates. 11105 See the changelog at the end of this file for a detailed list. 11106 11107 11108 11109 == MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 == 11110 11111 July 5, 2005 11112 11113 MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series. 11114 While most exciting new bugs should have been ironed out at this point, 11115 third-party wiki operators should probably not run this beta release 11116 on a public site without closely following additional development. 11117 11118 Anyone who _has_ been running beta 1 is very very strongly advised to 11119 upgrade to beta 2, as it fixes many bugs from the previous beta including 11120 a couple of HTML and SQL injections. 11121 11122 This release should be followed by one or two release candidates and 11123 a 1.5.0 final within the next few weeks. 11124 11125 Beta upgraders, note there are some minor database changes. For upgrades 11126 from 1.4, see the file UPGRADE for details on significant database and 11127 configuration file changes. 11128 11129 Beta 2 includes a preliminary command-line XML wiki dump importer tool, 11130 maintenance/importDump.php, paired with maintenance/dumpBackup.php. 11131 These use the same format as Special:Export and Special:Import, able 11132 to package a wiki's entire page set independent of the backend database 11133 and compression format. 11134 11135 11136 == MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 == 11137 11138 June 26, 2005 11139 11140 MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 is a preview release, pretty much feature complete, 11141 of the new 1.5 release series. There are several known and likely a number 11142 of unknown bugs; it is not recommended to use this release in a production 11143 environment but would be recommended for testing in mind of an upcoming 11144 deployment. 11145 11146 A number of significant changes have been made since the alpha releases, 11147 including database changes and a reworking of the user permissions settings. 11148 See the file UPGRADE for details of upgrading and changing your prior 11149 configuration settings for the new system. 11150 11151 11152 11153 == MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 == 11154 11155 June 3, 2005 11156 11157 MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 includes a lot of bug fixes, feature merges, 11158 and a security update. 11159 11160 Incorrect handling of page template inclusions made it possible to 11161 inject JavaScript code into HTML attributes, which could lead to 11162 cross-site scripting attacks on a publicly editable wiki. 11163 11164 Vulnerable releases and fix: 11165 * 1.5 prerelease: fixed in 1.5alpha2 11166 * 1.4 stable series: fixed in 1.4.5 11167 * 1.3 legacy series: fixed in 1.3.13 11168 * 1.2 series no longer supported; upgrade to 1.4.5 strongly recommended 11169 11170 11171 == MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 1 == 11172 11173 May 3, 2005 11174 11175 This is a testing preview release, being put out mainly to aid testers in 11176 finding installation bugs and other major problems. It is strongly recommended 11177 NOT to run a live production web site on this alpha release. 11178 11179 ** WARNING: USE OF THIS ALPHA RELEASE MAY INFEST YOUR HOUSE WITH ** 11180 ** TERMITES, ROT YOUR TEETH, GROW HAIR ON YOUR PALMS, AND PASTE ** 11181 ** INNUENDO INTO YOUR C.V.

Testers are welcome to 11837 set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem 11838 cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for 11839 MathML to display properly in Mozilla.) 11840 11841 ---- 11842 11843 == MediaWiki 1.4.3 == 11844 11845 (released 2005-04-28) 11846 11847 MediaWiki 1.4.3 is a bugfix release for the 1.4 stable release series. 11848 11849 Chiefly, this fixes a compatibility problem with PHP 5 and a minor link 11850 table corruption bug on initial page save. 11851 11852 11853 == MediaWiki 1.4.2 == 11854 11855 (released 2005-04-20) 11856 11857 MediaWiki 1.4.2 is a security and bug fix release for the 1.4 stable release 11858 series. 11859 11860 A cross-site scripting injection vulnerability was discovered, which 11861 affects only MSIE clients and is only open if MediaWiki has been 11862 manually configured to run output through HTML Tidy ($wgUseTidy). 11863 11864 Several other bugs are fixed in this release, see the changelog below. 11865 11866 All new installations are highly recommended to use 1.4.2 instead of 11867 1.3.x; 1.3.x users should consider upgrading for bug fixes and new 11868 features. Ealier 1.4.x release and beta users should upgrade to this 11869 release for relevant bug fixes; see the changelog later in this file. 11870 11871 11872 If you have trouble, remember to read this whole file and the online FAQ page 11873 before asking for help: 11874 11875 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ 11876 11877 11878 === READ THIS FIRST: Upgrading === 11879 11880 If upgrading from an older release, see the notes in the file UPGRADE. 11881 There are a couple of minor database changes from the beta releases, 11882 and somewhat larger changes from 1.3.x. 11883 11884 Upgrading from a previous 1.4.x stable release installation should 11885 generally only require copying the new files over the old ones. 11886 11887 11888 ==== READ THIS FIRST, TOO: MySQL 4.1 AND 5.0 ==== 11889 11890 MySQL 5.0 is a beta release, not yet ready for production use. If you 11891 are using it, the notes below about 4.1 apply to you too. 11892 11893 If you have the choice of MySQL 4.0 or MySQL 4.1 and don't need 4.1 for 11894 some other application, you should consider sticking with 4.0 for the 11895 moment. 4.1 may require you to do extra fiddling to get things to work 11896 due to changes that aren't fully backwards-compatible. 11897 11898 MySQL 4.1 has changed the authentication protocol in an incompatible 11899 way; many PHP installations still use the older client libraries and 11900 CANNOT CONNECT TO THE SERVER WITH A PASSWORD without some changes. 11901 11902 See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html 11903 11904 If MySQL is set with utf-8 as the default character set, installation 11905 may fail with "key too long" errors. Set the default charset to 'latin1' 11906 for installation and it should work. 11907 11908 The mysqldump backup generator now applies an automatic conversion to 11909 UTF-8, which may irretrivably corrupt your data. Pass the -charset option 11910 with the original default charset (eg 'latin1') to skip the conversion. 11911 11912 11913 ==== READ THIS FIRST IF RUNNING ON A WINDOWS SERVER ==== 11914 11915 MediaWiki is tested and deployed primarily under the Apache web server 11916 on Linux Unix systems. There are known to be problems running on 11917 Microsoft's IIS which are not fully resolved. If you have a choice, 11918 try running under Apache on Windows, or on a Unix/Linux box instead. 11919 11920 If you're having trouble with blank pages on IIS and can't switch, 11921 try the workaround suggested in this bug report: 11922 http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1763 11923 11924 11925 === New features === 11926 11927 * 'Recentchanges Patrol' to mark new edits that haven't yet been viewed. 11928 * New, searchable deletion/upload/protection logs 11929 * Image gallery generation (Special:Newimages and <gallery> tag) 11930 * SVG rasterization support (requires external support tools) 11931 * Users can select from the available localizations to override the 11932 default user interface language. 11933 * Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion support 11934 * rel="nofollow" support to combat linkspam 11935 11936 The current implementation adds this attribute to _all_ external URL 11937 links in wiki text (but not internal [[wiki links]] or interwiki links). 11938 To disable the attribute for _all_ external links, add this line to your 11939 LocalSettings.php: 11940 11941 $wgNoFollowLinks = false 11942 11943 For background information on nofollow see: 11944 11945 http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html 11946 11947 11948 === Installation and compatibility === 11949 11950 * The default MonoBook theme now works with PHP 5.0 11951 * Installation on systems with PHP's safe mode or other oddities 11952 should work more reliably, as MonoBook no longer needs to 11953 create a compiled template file for the wiki to run. 11954 * A table prefix may be specified, to avoid conflicts with other 11955 web applications forced to share a database. 11956 * More thorough UTF-8 input validation; fixes non-ASCII uploaded 11957 filenames from Safari. 11958 * Command-line database upgrade script. 11959 11960 11961 === Customizability === 11962 11963 * Default user options can now be overridden in LocalSettings. 11964 * Skins system more modular: templates and CSS are now in /skins/ 11965 New skins can be dropped into this directory and used immediately. 11966 * More extension hooks have been added. 11967 * Authentication plugin hook. 11968 * More internal code documentation, generated with phpdoc: 11969 https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/html/ 11970 11971 11972 === Optimization === 11973 11974 * For many operations, MediaWiki 1.4 should run faster and use 11975 less memory than MediaWiki 1.3. Page rendering is up to twice 11976 as fast. (Use a PHP accelerator such as Turck MMCache for best 11977 results with any PHP application, though!) 11978 * The parser cache no longer requires memcached, and is enabled 11979 by default. This avoids a lot of re-rendering of pages that 11980 have been shown recently, greatly speeding longer page views. 11981 * Support for compiled PHP modules to speed up page diff and 11982 Unicode validation/normalization. (Requires ability to compile 11983 and load PHP extensions). 11984 11985 11986 === What isn't ready yet === 11987 11988 * A new user/groups permissions scheme has been held back to 1.5. 11989 * An experimental SOAP interface will be made available as an extension 11990 * PostgreSQL support is largely working, minus search and the installer. 11991 You can perform a manual installation. 11992 * E-mail notification of watched page changes and verification of 11993 user-submitted e-mail addresses is not yet included. 11994 * Log pages are not automatically imported into the new log table 11995 at upgrade time. A script to import old text log entries is 11996 incomplete, but may be available in later point releases. 11997 * Some localizations are still incomplete. 11998 11999 12000 12001 == Changelog == 12002 12003 === Important security updates === 12004 12005 A security audit found and fixed a number of problems. Users of MediaWiki 12006 1.3.10 and earlier should upgrade to 1.3.11; users of 1.4 beta releases 12007 prior to 1.4rc1 should upgrade immediately. 12008 12009 ==== Cross-site scripting vulnerability ==== 12010 12011 XSS injection points can be used to hijack session and authentication 12012 cookies as well as more serious attacks. 12013 12014 * Media: links output raw text into an attribute value, potentially 12015 abusable for JavaScript injection. This has been corrected. 12016 * Additional checks added to file upload to protect against MSIE and 12017 Safari MIME-type autodetection bugs. 12018 12019 As of 1.3.10/1.4beta6, per-user customized CSS and JavaScript is disabled 12020 by default as a general precaution. Sites which want this ability may set 12021 $wgAllowUserCss and $wgAllowUserJs in LocalSettings.php. 12022 12023 12024 ==== Cross-site request forgery ==== 12025 12026 An attacker could use JavaScript-submitted forms to perform various 12027 restricted actions by tricking an authenticated user into visiting 12028 a malicious web page. A fix for page editing in 1.3.10/1.4beta6 has 12029 been expanded in this release to other forms and functions. 12030 12031 Authors of bot tools may need to update their code to include the 12032 additional fields. 12033 12034 12035 ==== Directory traversal ==== 12036 12037 An unchecked parameter in image deletion could allow an authenticated 12038 administrator to delete arbitary files in directories writable by the 12039 web server, and confirm existence of files not deletable. 12040 12041 12042 ==== Older issues ==== 12043 12044 Note that 1.4 beta releases prior to beta 5 include an input validation 12045 error which could lead to execution of arbitrary PHP code on the server. 12046 Users of older betas should upgrade immediately to the current version. 12047 12048 12049 Beta 6 also introduces the use of rel="nofollow" attributes on external 12050 links in wiki pages to reduce the effectiveness of wiki spam. This will 12051 cause participating search engines to ignore external URL links from wiki 12052 pages for purposes of page relevancy ranking. 12053 12054 12055 === Misc bugs fixed in beta 1 === 12056 12057 * (bug 95) Templates no longer limited to 5 inclusions per page 12058 * New user preference for limiting the image size for images on image description 12059 pages 12060 * (bug 530) Allow user to preview article on first edit 12061 * (bug 479) [[RFC 1234]] will now make an internal link 12062 * (bug 511) PhpTal skins shown bogus 'What links here' etc on special pages 12063 * (bug 770)
