THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
|
2007-09-04 19:19:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
|
|
|
|
|
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
|
|
|
|
|
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
|
|
|
|
|
from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
|
|
|
|
|
will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
|
|
|
|
|
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN

|
* $wgEnableScriptLoaderJsFile if we support grabbing js files with the script
|
2009-09-11 16:06:34 +00:00
|
|
|
loader. By default we only grab classes in $wgJSAutoloadClasses
|
2009-07-15 18:52:54 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgEnableScriptMinify if you want the script loader to minify js

|
2009-04-10 14:53:32 +00:00
|
|
|

|
be used when uploading/moving files
|
2009-05-19 17:07:46 +00:00
|
|
|
* (bug 18761) $wgHiddenPrefs is a new array for specifying preferences not
|
|
|
|
|
to be shown to users
|
2009-05-24 12:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgAllowRealName and $wgAllowUserSkin were deprecated in favor of
|
|
|
|
|
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'realname', but the former are still retained
|
|
|
|
|
for backwards-compatibility
|
2009-05-23 08:42:09 +00:00
|
|
|

2009-05-23 10:14:24 +00:00
|

functions and other potential errors when developing.
|
2009-05-29 16:32:10 +00:00
|
|
|
* Subpages are now enabled in the MediaWiki namespace by default. This is
|
|
|
|
|
mainly a cosmetic change, and does not in any way affect the MessageCache,
|
|
|
|
|
which was already effectively treating the namespace as if it had subpages.
|
2009-06-01 16:54:30 +00:00
|
|
|
* (bug 10837) $wgVariant is a user variant selected in the user's preferences
|
2009-05-30 19:49:51 +00:00
|
|
|
if the $wgContLang does not have variant, then the $wgLang is used instead.
|
2009-06-05 11:45:32 +00:00
|
|
|
* Oracle: maintenance/ora/user.sql script for creating DB user on oracle with
|
2009-06-08 18:30:27 +00:00
|
|
|
appropriate privileges. Creating this user with web-install page requires
|
|
|
|
|
oci8.privileged_connect set to On in php.ini.
|
2009-06-18 14:47:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* Removed UserrightsChangeableGroups hook introduced in 1.14
|
* Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around fast fetches of individual messages, minimising memory overhead and startup time in the typical case. It handles both core messages (formerly in Language.php) and extension messages (formerly in MessageCache.php). Profiling indicates a significant win for average throughput.
* The serialized message cache, which would have been redundant, has been removed. Similar performance characteristics can be achieved with $wgLocalisationCacheConf['manualRecache'] = true;
* Added a maintenance script rebuildLocalisationCache.php for offline rebuilding of the localisation cache.
* Extension i18n files can now contain any of the variables which can be set in Messages*.php. It is possible, and recommended, to use this feature instead of the hooks for special page aliases and magic words.
* $wgExtensionAliasesFiles, LanguageGetMagic and LanguageGetSpecialPageAliases are retained for backwards compatibility. $wgMessageCache->addMessages() and related functions have been removed. wfLoadExtensionMessages() is a no-op and can continue to be called for b/c.
* Introduced $wgCacheDirectory as a default location for the various local caches that have accumulated. Suggested $IP/cache as a good place for it in the default LocalSettings.php and created this directory with a deny-all .htaccess.
* Patched Exception.php to avoid using the message cache when an exception is thrown from within LocalisationCache, since this tends to fail horribly.
* Removed Language::getLocalisationArray(), Language::loadLocalisation(), Language::load()
* Fixed FileDependency::__sleep()
* In Cdb.php, fixed newlines in debug messages
In MessageCache::get():
* Replaced calls to $wgContLang capitalisation functions with plain PHP functions, reducing the typical case from 99us to 93us. Message cache keys are already documented as being restricted to ASCII.
* Implemented a more efficient way to filter out bogus language codes, reducing the "foo/en" case from 430us to 101us
* Optimised wfRunHooks() in the typical do-nothing case, from ~30us to ~3us. This reduced MessageCache::get() typical case time from 93us to 38us.
* Removed hook MessageNotInMwNs to save an extra 3us per cache hit. Reimplemented the only user (LocalisationUpdate) using the new hook LocalisationCacheRecache.
2009-06-28 07:11:43 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added $wgCacheDirectory, to replace $wgFileCacheDirectory,
|
|
|
|
|
$wgLocalMessageCache, and any other local caches which need a place to put
|
|
|
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
* $wgFileCacheDirectory is no longer set to anything by default, and so either
|
|
|
|
|
needs to be set explicitly, or $wgCacheDirectory needs to be set instead.
|
|
|
|
|
* $wgLocalMessageCache has been removed. Instead, set $wgUseLocalMessageCache
|
|
|
|
|
to true
|
|
|
|
|
* Removed $wgEnableSerializedMessages and $wgCheckSerialized. Similar
|
|
|
|
|
functionality is now available via $wgLocalisationCacheConf.
|
2009-07-03 06:19:39 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgMessageCache->addMessages() is deprecated. Messages added via this
|
|
|
|
|
interface will not appear in Special:AllMessages.
|
2009-07-15 01:02:13 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgRegisterInternalExternals can be used to record external links pointing
|
|
|
|
|
to same server
|
2009-07-17 14:49:15 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgSpecialVersionExtended shows the extended version information besides
|
|
|
|
|
PHP and database version.
|
2009-08-21 00:22:08 +00:00
|
|
|
* (bug 19907) $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains and $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomainExceptions added
|
2009-07-31 21:56:34 +00:00
|
|
|
to control which external domains may access the API via cross-site AJAX.
|
2009-08-02 19:35:17 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgMaintenanceScripts for extensions to add their scripts to the default list
|
2009-08-04 02:47:39 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgMemoryLimit has been added, default value '50M'
|
2009-08-17 15:23:51 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgExtraRandompageSQL is deprecated, the SpecialRandomGetRandomTitle hook
|
|
|
|
|
should be used instead
|
2009-09-11 16:06:34 +00:00
|
|
|
* (bug 20489) $wgIllegalFileChars added to override the default list of illegal
|
|
|
|
|
characters in file names.
|
|
|
|
|
* (bug 19646) $wgImgAuthDetails added to display reason access to uploaded file
|
|
|
|
|
was denied to users(img_auth only)
|
|
|
|
|
* (bug 19646) $wgImgAuthPublicTest added to test to see if img_auth set up
|
|
|
|
|
correctly (img_auth only)
|
2009-09-12 08:25:54 +00:00
|
|
|
* $wgUploadMaintenance added to disable file deletions and restorations during
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance
|
2009-09-20 20:28:27 +00:00
|
|
|
* UserLoginForm and UserCreateForm hooks, and AuthPlugin::modifyUITemplate, now receive a
|
|
|
|
|
SpecialPage subclass instead of a QuickTemplate subclass. Hence there is no
|
|
|
|
|
$template->set(), etc. The hook has access to most of the stuff that will go into the
|
|
|
|
|
Login/Create form; see the documentation on HTMLForm for syntax for extra fields.
|
|
|
|
|
LoginForm class is deprecated, its state constants are now in the Login class.

|
|
|
* Add $wgRevokePermissions as a means of restricting a group's rights. The
|
|
|
|
|
syntax is identical to $wgGroupPermissions, but users in these groups will
|
|
|
|
|
have these rights stripped from them.
|
2009-06-20 15:59:56 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added a PHP port of CDB (constant database), for improved local caching when
|
|
|
|
|
the DBA extension is not available.
|
* Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around fast fetches of individual messages, minimising memory overhead and startup time in the typical case. It handles both core messages (formerly in Language.php) and extension messages (formerly in MessageCache.php). Profiling indicates a significant win for average throughput.
* The serialized message cache, which would have been redundant, has been removed. Similar performance characteristics can be achieved with $wgLocalisationCacheConf['manualRecache'] = true;
* Added a maintenance script rebuildLocalisationCache.php for offline rebuilding of the localisation cache.
* Extension i18n files can now contain any of the variables which can be set in Messages*.php. It is possible, and recommended, to use this feature instead of the hooks for special page aliases and magic words.
* $wgExtensionAliasesFiles, LanguageGetMagic and LanguageGetSpecialPageAliases are retained for backwards compatibility. $wgMessageCache->addMessages() and related functions have been removed. wfLoadExtensionMessages() is a no-op and can continue to be called for b/c.
* Introduced $wgCacheDirectory as a default location for the various local caches that have accumulated. Suggested $IP/cache as a good place for it in the default LocalSettings.php and created this directory with a deny-all .htaccess.
* Patched Exception.php to avoid using the message cache when an exception is thrown from within LocalisationCache, since this tends to fail horribly.
* Removed Language::getLocalisationArray(), Language::loadLocalisation(), Language::load()
* Fixed FileDependency::__sleep()
* In Cdb.php, fixed newlines in debug messages
In MessageCache::get():
* Replaced calls to $wgContLang capitalisation functions with plain PHP functions, reducing the typical case from 99us to 93us. Message cache keys are already documented as being restricted to ASCII.

2009-06-28 07:11:43 +00:00
|
|
|
* Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around
|
|
|
|
|
fast fetches of individual messages, minimising memory overhead and startup
|
|
|
|
|
time in the typical case. The database backend will be used by default, but
|
|
|
|
|
set $wgCacheDirectory to get a faster CDB-based implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
* Expanded the number of variables which can be set in the extension messages
|
|
|
|
|
files.
|
Implemented the PoolCounter feature and did some general refactoring in the areas that it touched.
* Renamed Article::outputFromWikitext() to Article::getOutputFromWikitext()
* Factored out cascade protection updates
* Removed recently-added Article::tryParserCache(): misnamed, can be done in one line of code in the caller. Deprecated OutputPage::tryParserCache().
* Made some functions public instead of protected when they could be useful from hooks.
* In ParserCache, removed PHP 4-style ampersands
In Article::view():
* Factored out robot policy logic, "redirected from" header, patrol footer, diff page, revdelete header, CSS/JS formatting, footer, namespace header, missing article error
* Removed some variables, renamed some others, fixed incorrect use of empty()
* Used the refactored footer section to do a couple of early returns and unindent a massive if(!$outputDone) block
* Removed fantasy interpretation of $this->getContent()===false in comment
* Don't try the parser cache when ArticleViewHeader specified $outputDone=true
* Move timing hack to getOutputFromWikitext()
* Stop using $wgOut->parserOptions() with save/restore nonsense every time you want to change something in it. This is meant to be OOP.
* Don't overwrite the article text with an error message and then pretend to write it to the cache, that's confusing
2009-07-08 08:12:35 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added a feature to allow per-article process pool size control for the parsing
|
|
|
|
|
task, to limit resource usage when the cache for a heavily-viewed article is
|
|
|
|
|
invalidated. Requires an external daemon.
|
2009-07-21 04:19:34 +00:00
|
|
|
* (bug 19576) Moved the id attribues from the anchors accompanying section
|
|
|
|
|
headers to the <span class="mw-headline"> elements within the section headers,
|
|
|
|
|
removing the redundant anchor elements.
|
2009-07-15 01:02:13 +00:00
|
|
|
* Parser::setFunctionTagHook now can be used to add a new tag which is parsed at
|
|
|
|
|
preprocesor level.
|
|
|
|
|
* Added $wgShowArchiveThumbnails, allowing sysadmins to disable thumbnail
|

|
Start using some HTML 5 form features
autofocus attribute added in some places; this looks like it's respected
by both recent Opera and recent WebKit. Its function is
self-explanatory. :) I used this in a few obvious places like
Special:UserLogin and Special:ResetPass to focus the first field in the
form. Could be used in other places too: Special:Search, etc.
required attribute added in some places. This is only supported in
recent Opera at the moment. Also self-explanatory: it won't allow form
submission if the field is empty.
For stuff using HTMLForm (i.e., Special:Preferences), validation will be
done for integers and floats. Browsers that support this (recent Opera)
will not allow non-integers to be submitted for integer fields, will not
allow non-floating-point values to be submitted for float fields, and
will enforce any min/max values specified. Opera also gives little up
and down arrows to allow the user to increment/decrement the value in
addition to letting them edit the field as text.
For HTMLForm and account creation, the email input type is used for
e-mails. This enforces a sane set of values for e-mails (alphanumerics
plus some ASCII punctuation, with an @ in it). Again, this is supported
only by recent Opera (yay Opera!). Note that this is actually more
restrictive than what we currently check for on the server side; it
might be sane to tighten up our server-side checks to forbid e-mail
addresses that HTML 5 forbids.
In all cases, the extra features aren't added if $wgHtml5 is false, and
will be ignored by non-supporting browsers.
The major room for further improvement here is use of the pattern
attribute. We can have the client refuse to submit the form unless it
matches a regex! The HTML 5 spec says that if a title attribute is
provided, it should be a message that explains what the valid values
are and browsers should provide it to the user if the regex doesn't
match, so it's not a usability problem. I didn't bother adding that
anywhere at this point because it would require adding new messages, but
it should be easy to do. Note of course that HTMLForm should be updated
to verify that pattern matches on the server side as well -- this way we
have a clean, unified way of ensuring that our client and server checks
are the same.
2009-08-07 03:32:20 +00:00
|
|
|
* The default output format is now HTML 5 instead of XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
|

This can be disabled by setting $wgHtml5 = false;. Specific features enabled

|
|
|
|
|
** New HTML 5 input attributes allow JavaScript-free input validation in some
|
|
|
|
|
cutting-edge browsers. E.g., some inputs will be autofocused, users will
|
|
|
|
|
not be allowed to submit forms with certain types of invalid values (like
|
|
|
|
|
numbers outside the permitted ranges), etc.
|
2009-08-10 01:42:45 +00:00
|
|
|
** The summary attribute has been removed from tables of contents. summary is

* A new permission, 'root', is created. Analogous to root users on Unix systems,
|
|
|
|
|
the root permission effectively grants all other permissions on a wiki. Useful

|
|
for debugging and administration.

|
|
* (bug 19090) Added watchlist parameter, deprecated watch and unwatch

parameter in action=edit
|
* Added fields to list=search output: size, wordcount, timestamp, snippet
* Where supported by backend, list=search adds a 'searchinfo' element with
optional info: 'totalhits' count and 'suggestion' alternate query term
Snippets added to result items earlier by Roan; extended this with the other
byte size, word count, and timestamp available on the result items and exposed
through the regular UI.
Had to work out a backwards-compatible method for the search meta-information
with Roan; added a second 'searchinfo' element since adding attributes to
'search' would break compatibility for JSON output (despite being safe in XML).
'searchinfo' is present only if the backend supports the extra info and has
something available; 'totalhits' with a total hit count and 'suggestion' for
an alternate query suggestion (exposed as "Did you mean X?" link in UI).
Note that total hit counts can be enabled for MySQL backend now by setting
the experimental option $wgSearchMySQLTotalHits, but did-you-mean suggestions
are not yet supported and need to be tested with a hack or another backend.
Sample XML and JSON output with the new searchinfo items (which can be
present whether or not there are any result items):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<api>
<query>
<searchinfo totalhits="0" suggestion="joe momma" />
<search />
</query>
</api>
{
"query": {
"searchinfo": {
"totalhits": 0,
"suggestion": "joe momma"
},
"search": [
]
}
}
The suggestion value is suitable for plugging back in as a search term,
if present.

== Compatibility ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-01 03:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.16 requires PHP 5 (5.2 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
|
2007-09-04 19:19:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
|
|
|
|
|
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrade affected systems to PHP 5.1 or higher.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MySQL 3.23.x is no longer supported; some older hosts may need to upgrade.
|
|
|
|
|
At this time we still recommend 4.0, but 4.1/5.0 will work fine in most cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Upgrading ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-01 03:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
1.16 has several database changes since 1.15, and will not work without schema
|
2008-09-18 19:18:22 +00:00
|
|
|
updates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-11-12 00:40:33 +00:00
|
|
|
If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons reposito-
|
|
|
|
|
ry, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise due to
|
2007-12-26 18:52:54 +00:00
|
|
|
database schema changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-07-23 16:11:57 +00:00
|
|
|
If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
|
|
|
|
|
new database fields are filled with data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-04 19:19:59 +00:00
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
|
|
|
|
|
changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
|
|
|
|
|
break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.

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