* Merged replaceFreeExternalLinks() with doMagicLinks(). Makes a lot of sense, very similar operations, doesn't break any parser tests. Stops free links from interacting with other parser stages, the same way ISBN links don't.
* The pass order change fixes Brion's complaint in r39980. Early link expansion, triggered by having more than 1000 links in the page, was outputting URLs which were destroyed by RFEL. Added parser test.
* Fixed an unrelated bug in LinkHolderArray::replace(): if a link to a redirect appears in two separate RLH calls, the second and subsequent calls do not add the mw-redirect class. Caused by an unmigrated LinkCache fetch.
* Added a parser test for a pass interaction bug that the pass order change fixes.
* The fuzzer told me to tell you that free external links in non-caption image parameters, which are and have always been invisible, are now not registered either.
* Miscellaneous supporting updates to the test infrastructure.
Causes weird regressions on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist
Couldn't isolate to a parser test in a few minutes; some kind of template interaction perhaps.
Sample bad HTML like:
The associated page is used by the Mediawiki <a href="<a href=" class="external free" title="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist</a>" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:SpamBlacklist">Spam Blacklist extension, and lists strings of text that may not be used in URLs in any page in Wikimedia Foundation projects (as well as many external wikis). Any meta <a href="/wiki/Administrator" title="Administrator">administrator</a> can edit the spam blacklist. There is also a more aggressive way to block spamming through direct use of <a href="/wiki/Anti-spam_features#.24wgSpamRegex" title="Anti-spam features">$wgSpamRegex</a>. Only <a href="/wiki/Developers" title="Developers" class="mw-redirect">developers</a> can make changes to $wgSpamRegex, and its use is to be avoided whenever possible.
* Fixed image link whitespace handling (Brion's complaint, r39662)
* Added fuzz test capability to parserTests.php
* Added __destruct() functions to Parser and Language, and called them explicitly from parserTests.inc, to avoid unconstrained memory usage during fuzz testing.
* Added unified diff to output of Parser_DiffTest
* Fixed whitespace change in Parser::doTableStuff() (found by fuzzing)
* Added feature to RELEASE-NOTES which I'd committed last time but forgotten to note: <gallery> will accept image names with no "Image:" prefix (rediscovered by fuzzing)
* Limit memory usage in Title::getInterwikiLink()
* Fixed chronic fail of all interwiki link parser tests (hid Siebrand's complaint, r39464)
* Fixed chronic fail of one of the LanguageConverter parser tests. Was actually an ignored bug.
* Split link placeholder/replacement handling into a separate object, LinkHolderArray.
* Remove Title objects from LinkCache, they apparently weren't being used at all. Same unconstrained memory usage as the former $parser->mLinkHolders.
* Introduced ExplodeIterator -- a workalike for explode() which doesn't use a significant amount of memory
* Introduced StringUtils::explode() -- select whether to use the simulated or native explode() depending on how many items there are
* Migrated most instances of explode() in Parser.php to StringUtils::explode()
* Renamed some variables in Parser::doBlockLevels()
* In Parser.php: $fname => __METHOD__, Parser => self/__CLASS__, to support Parser_DiffTest more easily
* Doc update in includes/MessageCache.php for r39412
* MW_TITLECACHE_MAX => Title::CACHE_MAX, nicer name, easier to access from another module
