* Wrote two concrete implementations. LBFactory_Simple is for general installations. LBFactory_Multi will replace the runtime configuration used on Wikimedia and allow load-balanced connections to any DB.
* Ported Special:Userrights, CentralAuth and OAI audit to the LBFactory system.
* Added ForeignDBViaLBRepo, a file repository which uses LBFactory.
* Removed $wgLoadBalancer and $wgAlternateMaster
* Improved the query group concept to allow failover and lag control
* Improved getReaderIndex(), it will now try all servers before waiting, instead of waiting after each.
* Removed the $fail parameter to getConnection(), obsolete.
* Removed the useless force() function.
* Abstracted the replication position interface to allow for future non-MySQL support.
* Rearranged Database.php. Added a few debugging features.
* Removed ancient benet-specific hack from waitForSlave.php
Map bpchar to char
Don't change default search_path if schema not 'mediawiki' in LocalSettings
Clean up the output of updaters.inc
Make sure we set search_path and others for current session when altering user.
Postgres: replace CHAR(64) with TEXT for fa_storage_key of filearchive
Postgres: Add hasConstraint to allow replacing of oldimage fk constraint
Postgres: make oldimage cascade delete on image deletion
* Add @addtogroup tags to various classes, to try and group conceptually-related classes together.
* Add brief descriptions to various Special pages, thanks to Phil Boswell.
* Moving some docs to be right above the classes they represent, so that they are picked up.
* @link. You might think @link would surely mean "here comes a web URL" ... but @link is a valid command
in Doxygen, which means an entirely different kind of link (an internal link to somewhere, so that you can separate
documentation and implementation). The result is a mess, and the best solution I can see is to use "@see" instead of "@link".
* Warning: argument `nourl' of command @param is not found in the argument list of Linker::makeMediaLinkObj($title,$text='')
* Moving few class descriptions to right above classes, and/or formatting into Javadoc style.
* "@addtogroup Special Pages" --> "@addtogroup SpecialPage" so that all special pages have the same @addtogroup tag.
* @fixme --> @todo (must have missed these before)
* "@param $specialPage @see" remove the "@" in the "@see" to stop warning.
* @throws wants type, then a brief description, to stop warning.
This last one is for PHPdocumentor only, but it fixes something for PHPDocumentor, and should be neutral for Doxygen:
* WARNING in includes/api/ApiFormatYaml_spyc.php on line 860: docblock template never terminated with /**#@-*/
- PG updaters should use general Database methods instead of reimplementing in updaters.inc
- fieldInfo should work for postgres; generalise result to an object type
- add missing *Exists() functions (rules, triggers, sequences)
