* Add append() method to FileRepo classes to enable chunked uploading
* Change chunksessionkey to chunksession
* Remove echo json stuff
* Fix a multitude of bugs in my own code
* still to test: mwEmbed use of chunked upload
* Added $wgFixArchaicUnicode, which, if enabled, converts some deprecated Unicode sequences in Arabic and Malayalam text to their Unicode 5.1 equivalents.
* Added generateNormalizerData.php to generate the relevant data files. Added the generated data files also.
* Made most things call the new wrapper method $wgContLang->normalize() instead of UtfNormal::cleanUp(), so that Unicode normalization can be customised on a per-language basis.
* Added some generic support for conversion tables to Language so that subclasses can easily implement these kinds of transformations.
* Refactored the IE script entry point security check into WebRequest::isPathInfoBad(). Use the standard CGI variable PATH_INFO to do this check instead of the various potential non-standard solutions. Made the check fairly permissive to avoid a repeat of bug 13049 due to broken CGI setups especially with cgi.fix_pathinfo=0. This should theoretically be very portable and secure, but I have not tested it widely.
* Removed Chris Wrinn from the credits since his patch was wrong and has been removed.
* Made the error message more informative.
Session id is used by client request to specify its login data from cookie, so the session data, by extensions, is like a sort of request parameter. Also, WebResponse.php seems to be used for data actually sent to the client, like requested cookies.
* Two callers of wfArrayMerge() were bugs, both assuming strange and complex behaviour in wfArrayMerge() which has never been present or documented.
* Introduced wfMergeErrorArrays() to remove duplicates from merged error arrays, e.g. from getUserPermissionsErrors().
* Rewrote the remaining callers of wfArrayMerge() to use array plus. It makes the code clearer, assuming the reader knows more about basic PHP operators than GlobalFunctions.php. Considering the two bugs discussed above, this seems like a fair assumption. If you don't know PHP, you shouldn't be writing MediaWiki code.
* Switch from running fix_magic_quotes() on $_COOKIE and $_GET/$_POST to running it on $this->cookies and $this->data. Should keep us from interfering with other programs that might do the same (and/or trying to start up a second WebRequest object). This partially fixes bug 11558.
* Todo: Do similar things with $_SERVER/$_ENV and switch to a lazy-load style, rather than on every new WebRequest.
Cleaned up the new URL parsing code a bit, now able to recognize both $wgActionPaths and $wgVariantArticlePath and interpolate those variables.
Moved that bit into WebRequest::interpolateTitle() function which is called after $wgContLang stub object is created, so it can be used to get the variant list.
I'm not totally happy with all this code, but it works. The variant bits generally creep me out.
* Seems like an opportune time to introduce "@addtogroup Media" documentation tags.
* Merge "@addtogroup Metadata" (used by Exif.php) into "@addtogroup Media".
* Few more moving comment blocks to above classes.
pick up the appropriate tags, and documentation blobs for classes. This is
the same as per r20769, but with the grouping changes (e.g. removing "@{{") omitted.
Please be advised that more related documentation tweaks may follow later - e.g.
Doxygen generates a log file of warnings that is 574 Kb in size, when run over
the just the trunk/phase3 code ... eek! Thankfully, much of that is just
whining about functions without documentation ;-)
Minor doc tweaks to prevent some PHPDocumentor warnings or errors when run on the includes/ directory. PHPDocumentor uses a syntax very similar to javadoc - mostly we already use this, but there were a few scattered places that were adjusted to make them consistent with the rest of the code. In practical terms, these changes were made:
* @url becomes @link
* @fixme becomes @todo
* HTML tags in descriptions must be closed / balanced.
* @bug was removed (where the bug was long fixed), or changed into a @todo (in the few situations where the bug was still pending)
* @obsolete becomes @deprecated
* Things like "/**@{{" and "/**@}}*/" which cause "unknown tag" warnings were removed
* @access must be a valid access level.
* @desc tag not needed, removed.
* Doesn't seem to like @licence, will accept @license however.
* Use full comment block notation in a few places (i.e. open block with "/**", start each line with " *", and end block with " */")
Then additional to this, to get some class docs associated with their respective classes:
* Moved some docs to right above those classes (deleting blank lines, or moving descriptions from the file headers)
* Marked some classes without docs as "@todo document"
* (done up to "class MIMEsearchPage" on the "classtrees_MediaWiki.html" page for the includes/ directory)
