= MediaWiki 1.30 =
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== MediaWiki 1.30.0 ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.30.0-rc.0 ===
|
||||||
|
* Upgraded Moment.js from v2.15.0 to v2.19.3.
|
||||||
|
* Add ip_changes to postgres/tables.sql.
|
||||||
|
* Skip null shell parameters.
|
||||||
|
* Add wfWaitForSlaves() to maintenance/migrateComments.php.
|
||||||
|
* (T182245) Fix join conditions in ImageListPager.
|
||||||
|
* (T178626) Revert #contentSub and #jump-to-nav margin changes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== MySQL version requirement in 1.30 ===
|
||||||
|
As of 1.30, MediaWiki now requires MySQL 5.5.8 or higher (see Compatibility
|
||||||
|
section).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== Configuration changes in 1.30 ===
|
||||||
|
* The "C.UTF-8" locale should be used for $wgShellLocale, if available, to avoid
|
||||||
|
unexpected behavior when code uses locale-sensitive string comparisons. For
|
||||||
|
example, the Scribunto extension considers "bar" < "Foo" in most locales
|
||||||
|
since it ignores case.
|
||||||
|
* $wgShellLocale now affects LC_ALL rather than only LC_CTYPE. See
|
||||||
|
documentation of $wgShellLocale for details.
|
||||||
|
* $wgShellLocale is now applied for all requests. wfInitShellLocale() is
|
||||||
|
deprecated and a no-op, as it is no longer needed.
|
||||||
|
* $wgJobClasses may now specify callback functions as an alternative to plain
|
||||||
|
class names. This is intended for extensions that want control over the
|
||||||
|
instantiation of their jobs, to allow for proper dependency injection.
|
||||||
|
* $wgResourceModules may now specify callback functions as an alternative
|
||||||
|
to plain class names, using the 'factory' key in the module description
|
||||||
|
array. This allows dependency injection to be used for ResourceLoader modules.
|
||||||
|
* $wgExceptionHooks has been removed.
|
||||||
|
* (T163562) $wgRangeContributionsCIDRLimit was introduced to control the size
|
||||||
|
of IP ranges that can be queried at Special:Contributions.
|
||||||
|
* (T45547) $wgUsePigLatinVariant added (off by default).
|
||||||
|
* (T152540) MediaWiki now supports a section ID escaping style that allows to display
|
||||||
|
non-Latin characters verbatim on many modern browsers. This is controlled by the
|
||||||
|
new configuration setting, $wgFragmentMode.
|
||||||
|
* $wgExperimentalHtmlIds is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version,
|
||||||
|
use $wgFragmentMode to migrate off it to a modern alternative.
|
||||||
|
* $wgExternalInterwikiFragmentMode was introduced to control how fragments in
|
||||||
|
sinterwikis going outside of current wiki farm are encoded.
|
||||||
|
* (T120333) Soft-deprecated the use of PHP extension 'mysql' in favor of 'mysqli'.
|
||||||
|
This PHP extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5 and removed in PHP 7.0. MediaWiki
|
||||||
|
auto-selects the 'mysqli' driver since MediaWiki 1.22, except if explicitly
|
||||||
|
requested through the configuration parameter $wgDBservers.
|
||||||
|
* $wgOOUIEditPage was removed, as it is now the default. This was documented as a
|
||||||
|
temporary variable during the migration period.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== New features in 1.30 ===
|
||||||
|
* (T37247) Output from Parser::parse() will now be wrapped in a div with
|
||||||
|
class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using
|
||||||
|
ParserOptions::setWrapOutputClass().
|
||||||
|
* (T163562) Added ability to search for contributions within an IP ranges
|
||||||
|
at Special:Contributions.
|
||||||
|
* Added 'ChangeTagsAllowedAdd' hook, enabling extensions to allow software-
|
||||||
|
specific tags to be added by users.
|
||||||
|
* Added a 'ParserOptionsRegister' hook to allow extensions to register
|
||||||
|
additional parser options.
|
||||||
|
* (T45547) Included Pig Latin, a language game in English, as a
|
||||||
|
LanguageConverter variant. This allows English-speaking developers
|
||||||
|
to develop and test LanguageConverter more easily. Pig Latin can be
|
||||||
|
enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true.
|
||||||
|
* Added RecentChangesPurgeRows hook to allow extensions to purge data that
|
||||||
|
depends on the recentchanges table.
|
||||||
|
* Added JS config values wgDiffOldId/wgDiffNewId to the output of diff pages.
|
||||||
|
* (T2424) Added direct unwatch links to entries in Special:Watchlist (if the
|
||||||
|
'watchlistunwatchlinks' preference option is enabled). With JavaScript
|
||||||
|
enabled, these links toggle so the user can also re-watch pages that have
|
||||||
|
just been unwatched.
|
||||||
|
* Added $wgParserTestMediaHandlers, where mock media handlers can be passed to
|
||||||
|
MediaHandlerFactory for parser tests.
|
||||||
|
* Edit summaries, block reasons, and other "comments" are now stored in a
|
||||||
|
separate database table. Use the CommentFormatter class to access them.
|
||||||
|
** This is currently gated by $wgCommentTableSchemaMigrationStage. Most wikis
|
||||||
|
can set this to MIGRATION_NEW and run maintenance/migrateComments.php as
|
||||||
|
soon as any necessary extensions are updated.
|
||||||
|
* (T138166) Added ability for users to prohibit other users from sending them
|
||||||
|
emails with Special:Emailuser. Can be enabled by setting
|
||||||
|
$wgEnableUserEmailBlacklist to true.
|
||||||
|
* (T67297) $wgBrowserBlacklist is deprecated, and changing it will have no effect.
|
||||||
|
Instead, users using browsers that do not support Unicode will be unable to edit
|
||||||
|
and should upgrade to a modern browser instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
* (T37247) action=parse output will be wrapped in a div with
|
||||||
|
class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using
|
||||||
|
the new 'wrapoutputclass' parameter.
|
||||||
|
* When errorformat is not 'bc', abort reasons from action=login will be
|
||||||
|
formatted as specified by the error formatter parameters.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
'rvexpandtemplates', 'rvgeneratexml', 'rvparse', and 'rvprop=parsetree'

||||||
|
parameters to prop=revisions are deprecated, as are the similarly named
|
||||||
|
parameters to prop=deletedrevisions, list=allrevisions, and
|
||||||
|
list=alldeletedrevisions. Use action=compare, action=parse, or
|
||||||
|
action=expandtemplates instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== Action API internal changes in 1.30 ===
|
||||||
|
* ApiBase::getDescriptionMessage() and the "apihelp-*-description" messages are

and "apihelp-*-extended-description".
|

|
||||||
|
* (T45547) Added Pig Latin, a made-up English variant (en-x-piglatin),
|
||||||
|
for easier variant development and testing. Disabled by default. It can be
|
||||||
|
enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== Other changes in 1.30 ===
|
||||||
|
* The use of an associative array for $wgProxyList, where the IP address is in
|
||||||
|
the key instead of the value, is deprecated (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' => 'value' ]).
|
||||||
|
Please convert these arrays to indexed/sequential ones (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' ]).
|
||||||
|
* mw.user.bucket (deprecated in 1.23) was removed.

|
deprecated in 1.24) were removed.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
BagOStuff::makeGlobalKey() should be used instead.
|
||||||
|
* (T146304) Preprocessor handling of LanguageConverter markup has been improved.
|
||||||
|
As a result of the new uniform handling, '-{' may need to be escaped
|
||||||
|
(for example, as '-<nowiki/>{') where it occurs inside template arguments
|
||||||
|
or wikilinks.
|
||||||
|
* (T163966) Page moves are now counted as edits for the purposes of
|
||||||
|
autopromotion, i.e., they increment the user_editcount field in the database.

|
||||||
|
manipulating Special:Log and Special:NewPages lines.

|
||||||
|
PageHistoryLineEnding, ContributionsLineEnding and DeletedContributionsLineEnding
|
||||||
|
hooks have an additional parameter, for manipulating HTML data attributes of
|
||||||
|
RC/history lines. EnhancedChangesListModifyBlockLineData can do that via the
|
||||||
|
$data['attribs'] subarray.
|
||||||
|
* (T130632) The OutputPage::enableTOC() method was removed.
|
||||||
|
* WikiPage::getParserOutput() will now throw an exception if passed
|
||||||
|
ParserOptions that would pollute the parser cache. Callers should use
|
||||||
|
WikiPage::makeParserOptions() to create the ParserOptions object and only
|
||||||
|
change options that affect the parser cache key.
|
||||||
|
* Article::viewRedirect() is deprecated.
|
||||||
|
* IP::isValidBlock() was deprecated. Use the equivalent IP::isValidRange().
|
||||||
|
* DeprecatedGlobal no longer supports passing in a direct value, it requires a
|
||||||
|
callable factory function or a class name.
|
||||||
|
* The $parserMemc global, wfGetParserCacheStorage(), and ParserCache::singleton()
|
||||||
|
are all deprecated. The main ParserCache instance should be obtained from
|
||||||
|
MediaWikiServices instead. Access to the underlying BagOStuff is possible
|
||||||
|
through the new ParserCache::getCacheStorage() method.
|
||||||
|
* .mw-ui-constructive CSS class (deprecated in 1.27) was removed.
|
||||||
|
* Sanitizer::escapeId() was deprecated, use escapeIdForAttribute(),
|
||||||
|
escapeIdForLink() or escapeIdForExternalInterwiki() instead.
|
||||||
|
* Title::escapeFragmentForURL() was deprecated, use one of the aforementioned
|
||||||
|
Sanitizer functions or, if possible, Title::getFragmentForURL().
|
||||||
|
* Second parameter to Sanitizer::escapeIdReferenceList() ($options) now does
|
||||||
|
nothing and is deprecated.
|
||||||
|
* mw.util.escapeId() was deprecated, use escapeIdForAttribute() or
|
||||||
|
escapeIdForLink().

||||||
|
* MagicWord::replaceMultiple() (deprecated in 1.25) was removed.
|
||||||
|
* WikiImporter now requires the second parameter to be an instance of the Config,
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
1.25).
|
||||||
|
* Removed 'jquery.mwExtension' module. (deprecated since 1.26)
|
||||||

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
should be used instead.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
RunningStat\RunningStat should be used instead.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
The MemcachedClient class should be used instead.
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
* EditPage::isOouiEnabled() is deprecated and will always return true.
|
||||||
|
* EditPage::getSummaryInput() and ::getSummaryInputOOUI() are deprecated. Please
|
||||||
|
use ::getSummaryInputWidget() instead.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
use ::getCheckboxesWidget() instead.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
be avoided and will be deprecated in a future release.
|
||||||
|
* EditPage::safeUnicodeInput() and ::safeUnicodeOutput() are deprecated and no-ops.
|
||||||
|
* EditPage::$isCssJsSubpage, ::$isCssSubpage, and ::$isJsSubpage are deprecated. The

|
||||||
|
* Trying to control or fake EditPage context by overriding $wgUser, $wgRequest, $wgOut,
|
||||||
|
and $wgLang is no longer supported and won't work. The IContextSource returned from

||||||
|
EditPage::getContext() must be modified instead.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
* Parser::uniqPrefix() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
$uniq_prefix was deprecated in 1.26 and has now been removed.
|
||||||
|
* (T172514) The following tables have had their UNIQUE indexes turned into proper
|
||||||
|
PRIMARY KEYs for increased maintainability: categorylinks, imagelinks, iwlinks,
|
||||||
|
langlinks, log_search, module_deps, objectcache, pagelinks, query_cache, site_stats,
|
||||||
|
templatelinks, text, transcache, user_former_groups, user_properties.
|
||||||
|
* IDatabase::nextSequenceValue() is no longer needed by any database backends
|
||||||
|
(formerly it was needed by PostgreSQL and Oracle), and is now deprecated.
|
||||||
|
* (T146591) The lc_lang_key index on the l10n_cache table has been changed into a
|
||||||
|
PRIMARY KEY.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
page_restrictions.pr_user, tag_summary.ts_log_id, tag_summary.ts_rev_id and
|
||||||
|
user_properties.up_user have all been made unsigned on MySQL.

||||||
|
* DB_SLAVE is deprecated. DB_REPLICA should be used instead.
|
||||||
|
* wfUsePHP() is deprecated.
|
||||||
|
* wfFixSessionID() was removed.
|
||||||
|
* wfShellExec() and related functions are deprecated, use Shell::command(). This also
|
||||||
|
slightly changes the behavior of how execution time limits are calculated when only
|
||||||
|
some of defaults are overridden per-call. When in doubt, always override both wall
|
||||||
|
clock and CPU time.
|
||||||
|
* (T138166) SpecialEmailUser::getTarget() now requires a second argument, the sending
|
||||||
|

THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
MediaWiki 1.30 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in
|
|
||||||
production.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
=== MySQL version requirement in 1.30 ===
|
|
||||||
As of 1.30, MediaWiki now requires MySQL 5.5.8 or higher (see Compatibility
|
|
||||||
section).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
=== Configuration changes in 1.30 ===
|
|

* (T163562) $wgRangeContributionsCIDRLimit was introduced to control the size
|
|
||||||
of IP ranges that can be queried at Special:Contributions.
|
|
||||||
* (T45547) $wgUsePigLatinVariant added (off by default).
|
|
||||||
* (T152540) MediaWiki now supports a section ID escaping style that allows to display
|
|

non-Latin characters verbatim on many modern browsers. This is controlled by the

new configuration setting, $wgFragmentMode.

use $wgFragmentMode to migrate off it to a modern alternative.

* $wgExternalInterwikiFragmentMode was introduced to control how fragments in
|
|
||||||
sinterwikis going outside of current wiki farm are encoded.
|
|
||||||
* (T120333) Soft-deprecated the use of PHP extension 'mysql' in favor of 'mysqli'.
|
|
||||||
This PHP extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5 and removed in PHP 7.0. MediaWiki
|
|
||||||
auto-selects the 'mysqli' driver since MediaWiki 1.22, except if explicitly
|
|
||||||
requested through the configuration parameter $wgDBservers.

* $wgOOUIEditPage was removed, as it is now the default. This was documented as a
|
|
||||||
temporary variable during the migration period.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
=== New features in 1.30 ===
|
|
||||||
* (T37247) Output from Parser::parse() will now be wrapped in a div with
|
|
||||||
class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using
|
|
||||||
ParserOptions::setWrapOutputClass().
|
|
||||||
* (T163562) Added ability to search for contributions within an IP ranges
|
|
||||||
at Special:Contributions.
|
|
||||||
* Added 'ChangeTagsAllowedAdd' hook, enabling extensions to allow software-
|
|
||||||
specific tags to be added by users.
|
|
||||||
* Added a 'ParserOptionsRegister' hook to allow extensions to register
|
|
||||||
additional parser options.
|
|
||||||
* (T45547) Included Pig Latin, a language game in English, as a
|
|
||||||
LanguageConverter variant. This allows English-speaking developers
|
|
||||||
to develop and test LanguageConverter more easily. Pig Latin can be
|
|
||||||
enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true.
|
|
||||||
* Added RecentChangesPurgeRows hook to allow extensions to purge data that
|
|
||||||
depends on the recentchanges table.
|
|
||||||
* Added JS config values wgDiffOldId/wgDiffNewId to the output of diff pages.
|
|
||||||
* (T2424) Added direct unwatch links to entries in Special:Watchlist (if the
|
|
||||||
'watchlistunwatchlinks' preference option is enabled). With JavaScript
|
|
||||||
enabled, these links toggle so the user can also re-watch pages that have
|
|
||||||
just been unwatched.
|
|
||||||
* Added $wgParserTestMediaHandlers, where mock media handlers can be passed to
|
|
||||||
MediaHandlerFactory for parser tests.
|
|
||||||
* Edit summaries, block reasons, and other "comments" are now stored in a
|
|
||||||
separate database table. Use the CommentFormatter class to access them.
|
|
||||||
** This is currently gated by $wgCommentTableSchemaMigrationStage. Most wikis
|
|
||||||
can set this to MIGRATION_NEW and run maintenance/migrateComments.php as
|
|
||||||
soon as any necessary extensions are updated.
|
|
||||||
* (T138166) Added ability for users to prohibit other users from sending them
|
|
||||||
emails with Special:Emailuser. Can be enabled by setting
|
|
||||||
$wgEnableUserEmailBlacklist to true.
|
|
||||||
* (T67297) $wgBrowserBlacklist is deprecated, and changing it will have no effect.
|
|
||||||
Instead, users using browsers that do not support Unicode will be unable to edit
|
|
||||||
and should upgrade to a modern browser instead.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
(thanks to Sfic)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
=== Action API changes in 1.30 ===
|
|
||||||
* (T37247) action=parse output will be wrapped in a div with
|
|
||||||
class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using
|
|
||||||
the new 'wrapoutputclass' parameter.
|
|
||||||
* When errorformat is not 'bc', abort reasons from action=login will be
|
|
||||||
formatted as specified by the error formatter parameters.
|
|
||||||
* action=compare can now handle arbitrary text, deleted revisions, and
|
|
||||||
returning users and edit comments.
|
|
||||||
* (T164106) The 'rvdifftotext', 'rvdifftotextpst', 'rvdiffto',
|
|
||||||
'rvexpandtemplates', 'rvgeneratexml', 'rvparse', and 'rvprop=parsetree'
|
|
||||||
parameters to prop=revisions are deprecated, as are the similarly named
|
|
||||||
parameters to prop=deletedrevisions, list=allrevisions, and
|
|
||||||
list=alldeletedrevisions. Use action=compare, action=parse, or
|
|
||||||
action=expandtemplates instead.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
=== Action API internal changes in 1.30 ===
|
|
||||||
* ApiBase::getDescriptionMessage() and the "apihelp-*-description" messages are
|
|
||||||
deprecated. The existing message should be split between "apihelp-*-summary"
|
|
||||||
and "apihelp-*-extended-description".
|
|
||||||
* (T123931) Individual values of multi-valued parameters can now be marked as

||||||
MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
|
|
||||||
regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
* Removed: tokipona (Toki Pona)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
==== Pig Latin added ====
|
|
||||||
* (T45547) Added Pig Latin, a made-up English variant (en-x-piglatin),
|
|
||||||
for easier variant development and testing. Disabled by default. It can be
|
|
||||||
enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
=== Other changes in 1.30 ===
|
|
||||||
* The use of an associative array for $wgProxyList, where the IP address is in
|
|
||||||
the key instead of the value, is deprecated (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' => 'value' ]).
|
|
||||||
Please convert these arrays to indexed/sequential ones (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' ]).
|
|
||||||
* mw.user.bucket (deprecated in 1.23) was removed.
|
|
||||||
* LoadBalancer::getServerInfo() and LoadBalancer::setServerInfo() are
|
|
||||||
deprecated. There are no known callers.

|
||||||
* File::getStreamHeaders() was deprecated.
|
|
||||||
* MediaHandler::getStreamHeaders() was deprecated.

should be used instead.
|
|
||||||
* The ExtractThumbParameters hook (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
|
|
||||||
* The OutputPage::addParserOutputNoText and ::getHeadLinks methods (both
|
|
||||||
deprecated in 1.24) were removed.
|
|
||||||
* wfMemcKey() and wfGlobalCacheKey() were deprecated. BagOStuff::makeKey() and
|
|
||||||
BagOStuff::makeGlobalKey() should be used instead.
|
|
||||||
* (T146304) Preprocessor handling of LanguageConverter markup has been improved.
|
|
||||||
As a result of the new uniform handling, '-{' may need to be escaped
|
|
||||||
(for example, as '-<nowiki/>{') where it occurs inside template arguments
|
|
||||||
or wikilinks.
|
|
||||||
* (T163966) Page moves are now counted as edits for the purposes of
|
|
||||||
autopromotion, i.e., they increment the user_editcount field in the database.
|
|
||||||
* Two new hooks, LogEventsListLineEnding and NewPagesLineEnding, were added for
|
|
||||||
manipulating Special:Log and Special:NewPages lines.

|
||||||
* The OldChangesListRecentChangesLine, EnhancedChangesListModifyLineData,
|
|
||||||
PageHistoryLineEnding, ContributionsLineEnding and DeletedContributionsLineEnding
|
|
||||||
hooks have an additional parameter, for manipulating HTML data attributes of
|
|
||||||
RC/history lines. EnhancedChangesListModifyBlockLineData can do that via the
|
|
||||||
$data['attribs'] subarray.
|
|
||||||
* (T130632) The OutputPage::enableTOC() method was removed.
|
|
||||||
* WikiPage::getParserOutput() will now throw an exception if passed
|
|
||||||
ParserOptions that would pollute the parser cache. Callers should use
|
|
||||||
WikiPage::makeParserOptions() to create the ParserOptions object and only
|
|
||||||
change options that affect the parser cache key.
|
|
||||||
* Article::viewRedirect() is deprecated.
|
|
||||||
* IP::isValidBlock() was deprecated. Use the equivalent IP::isValidRange().
|
|
||||||
* DeprecatedGlobal no longer supports passing in a direct value, it requires a
|
|
||||||
callable factory function or a class name.
|
|
||||||
* The $parserMemc global, wfGetParserCacheStorage(), and ParserCache::singleton()
|
|
||||||
are all deprecated. The main ParserCache instance should be obtained from
|
|
||||||
MediaWikiServices instead. Access to the underlying BagOStuff is possible
|
|
||||||
through the new ParserCache::getCacheStorage() method.
|
|
||||||
* .mw-ui-constructive CSS class (deprecated in 1.27) was removed.
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
escapeIdForLink() or escapeIdForExternalInterwiki() instead.
|
|
||||||
* Title::escapeFragmentForURL() was deprecated, use one of the aforementioned
|
|
||||||
Sanitizer functions or, if possible, Title::getFragmentForURL().
|
|
||||||
* Second parameter to Sanitizer::escapeIdReferenceList() ($options) now does
|
|
||||||
nothing and is deprecated.
|
|
||||||
* mw.util.escapeId() was deprecated, use escapeIdForAttribute() or
|
|
||||||
escapeIdForLink().
|
|
||||||
* MagicWord::replaceMultiple() (deprecated in 1.25) was removed.
|
|
||||||
* WikiImporter now requires the second parameter to be an instance of the Config,
|
|
||||||
class. Prior to that, the Config parameter was optional (a behavior deprecated in
|
|
||||||
1.25).
|
|
||||||
* Removed 'jquery.mwExtension' module. (deprecated since 1.26)
|
|
||||||
* mediawiki.ui: Deprecate greys, which are not part of WikimediaUI color palette
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
The namespaced classes in the Cdb namespace should be used instead.
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
should be used instead.
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
The MemcachedClient class should be used instead.
|
|
||||||
* EditPage underwent some refactoring and deprecations:
|
|
||||||
* EditPage::isOouiEnabled() is deprecated and will always return true.
|
|
||||||
* EditPage::getSummaryInput() and ::getSummaryInputOOUI() are deprecated. Please
|
|
||||||
use ::getSummaryInputWidget() instead.
|
|
||||||
* EditPage::getCheckboxes() and ::getCheckboxesOOUI() are deprecated. Please
|
|
||||||
use ::getCheckboxesWidget() instead.
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
be avoided and will be deprecated in a future release.
|
|
||||||
* EditPage::safeUnicodeInput() and ::safeUnicodeOutput() are deprecated and no-ops.
|
|
||||||
* EditPage::$isCssJsSubpage, ::$isCssSubpage, and ::$isJsSubpage are deprecated. The
|
|

|
|
||||||
* Trying to control or fake EditPage context by overriding $wgUser, $wgRequest, $wgOut,
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
EditPage::getContext() must be modified instead.
|
|
||||||
* Parser::getRandomString() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed.
|
|
||||||
* Parser::uniqPrefix() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed.
|

|
|
||||||
$uniq_prefix was deprecated in 1.26 and has now been removed.
|
|
||||||
* (T172514) The following tables have had their UNIQUE indexes turned into proper
|
|
||||||
PRIMARY KEYs for increased maintainability: categorylinks, imagelinks, iwlinks,
|
|
||||||
langlinks, log_search, module_deps, objectcache, pagelinks, query_cache, site_stats,
|
|
||||||
templatelinks, text, transcache, user_former_groups, user_properties.
|
|
||||||
* IDatabase::nextSequenceValue() is no longer needed by any database backends
|
|
||||||
(formerly it was needed by PostgreSQL and Oracle), and is now deprecated.
|
|
||||||
* (T146591) The lc_lang_key index on the l10n_cache table has been changed into a
|
|
||||||
PRIMARY KEY.
|
|
||||||
* (T157227) bot_password.bp_user, change_tag.ct_log_id, change_tag.ct_rev_id,
|

|
|
||||||
* wfUsePHP() is deprecated.
|
|
||||||
* wfFixSessionID() was removed.
|
|
||||||
* wfShellExec() and related functions are deprecated, use Shell::command(). This also
|
|
||||||
slightly changes the behavior of how execution time limits are calculated when only
|
|
||||||
some of defaults are overridden per-call. When in doubt, always override both wall
|
|
||||||
clock and CPU time.
|
|
||||||
* (T138166) SpecialEmailUser::getTarget() now requires a second argument, the sending
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
== Compatibility ==
|
|
||||||
MediaWiki 1.30 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. There is experimental support for
|
|
||||||
HHVM 3.6.5 or later.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
MySQL/MariaDB is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used,
|
|
||||||
but support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
|
|
||||||
Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The supported versions are:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* MySQL 5.5.8 or later
|
|
||||||
* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
|
|
||||||
* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
|
|
||||||
* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
|
|
||||||
* Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
== Upgrading ==
|
|
||||||
1.30 has several database changes since 1.29, and will not work without schema
|
|
||||||
updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
|
|
||||||
table, the schema update may take a long time (minutes on a medium sized site,
|
|
||||||
many hours on a large site).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
|
|
||||||
important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For notes on 1.29.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
|
|
||||||
