* Overhaul deletion system. Totally remove deletion special page, deletion will now be handled through the standard MediaWiki deletion system. When a thread's "root" is deleted, the thread itself is marked as deleted. When the page is re-undeleted, the thread will be marked as restored.
* Move some class files from Lqt* to simply *.
* Remove HistoryIterator class, pointless.
* Miscellaneous code quality as found.
Includes core changes to pass comment along with ArticleRevisionUndeleted hook.
Here is a short overview of changes and associated default configuration variables (most everything is off by default) also see ~soon to be updated~: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Media_Projects_Overview
= Upload Improvements =
==Upload API ==
* Based on the early work of Bryan Tong and others it adds the upload option to the api.
* We rewrite Special:Upload page to include use the new refactoring
* Added in token checks in both the SpecialUpload.php page so avoids DOS / xss copy-by-url JavaScript based cross site POST file submissions
== Copy by URL==
$wgAllowCopyUploads = false;
* http class rewrite includes a new http background download see: includes/HttpFunctions.php
* spins off a php process that calls: maintenance/http_session_download.php
* pushes updates to the session and gives the user a progress bar on http copy uploads from other server progress (using js2 upload interface) (if not using the js2 upload interface it does the request in-place but the download is limited to the php ini timeout time)
== Firefogg ==
* Firefogg enables resumable upload by chunks
* progress indicators and conditional invokation (js2 system)
* and of-course client side transcoding.
= Script Server =
$wgEnableScriptLoader = false;
* off by default if $wgEnableScriptLoader is turned on script files are grouped, gziped, cached etc.
for more info see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ScriptLoader
* Includes some early skin js include fixes (skin/script system still lots of love)
* Includes a "javascript class autoloader" this is packaged into mwEmbed so that the mwEmbed library can work in stand alone mode (while retaining localization and script serving) (one such application is the make page for firefogg.org : http://www.firefogg.org/make/index.html )
* The file that contains the autojavascript loading classes is: js2/php/jsAutoloadLocalClasses.php
* One can use this auto class loading dependency system with extensions and add-ons but I need to better document that.
= js2 system / mwEmbed=
$wgEnableJS2system = false
* includes initial rewrite towards more jquery based javascript code
* especially for the Special:Upload page.
* Also the edit page include support for the "add-media-wizard"
* includes dependency loader for javascript that optionally takes advantage of the script-loader
* remote embedding of javascript interfaces (like embedding video, or commons media searching)
* $wgDebugJavaScript = false; .. .this variable lets you always get "always fresh javascript". When used with the script-loader it does not minify the script-loader output.
= mwEmbed =
* Will commit a separate patch to oggHandler that conditionally outputs <video tag> to use the new javascript video player.
** mv_embed player includes: play-head, volume control, remote embedding, oggz-chop support across plugins.
* add-media-wizard adds easy inserts of media to pages (with import)
== jQuery==
* we include a base install of jQuery, jQuery ui and some plugins.
* all the javascript classes are in the scriptloader so its easy to load any set of jquery ui components that you may need using the script-server. You get a callback so you can then execute js with dependencies loaded.
== other stuff ==
there is a bit more code in js2 that pertains to sequence editing, timed text display and basic image editing. We include a base import of pixastic-lib & pixastic-editor... will work with the pixastic developer to try and ensure upstream compatibility on our usage of the library for in-browser photo and sequence manipulation.
* 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.
* Tweak User::isValidPassword() and hook. Return a STRING msg key on failure, not false. Updated all callers to handle this
* Split too-short/match username errors for clarity
* Update docs, messages.
* Merge fix for bug from maintenance-work branch
sites with updated CC-BY-SA license... Messages now available in
WikimediaMessages extension for localization:
* wikimedia-copyright - page footer
* wikimedia-copyrightwarning - edit page, above summary/save button
* wikimedia-editpage-tos-summary - edit page, below summary/save button & above edittools
Initial English defaults are taken from

Ariel's search for other copyright-related messages looks fairly clean,
so we should be good here for now as $wgRightsText/$wgRightsUrl are
already updated.
Messages are overridden using new hooks, which can also be used to switch the
messages based on title or namespace -- this may be desirable for sites such
as mediawiki.org which keep some namespaces PD etc.
Use of the overridden messages by WikimediaMessages is switched in when
$wgRightsUrl is set to 'http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/'
* (bug 16322) Allow maint scripts to accept DB user/pass over input or params if no AdminSettings.php
* (bug 18768) Remove AdminSettings.php from MediaWiki core
* (bug 19157) createAndPromote error on bad password
* (bug 14201) Create AdminSettings.php during wiki installation, in the same way as LocalSettings.php
* Introduce new Maintenance class framework and port a good number of scripts over; the ones that are left are a little more complicated. Read the docs.
* Not deleting "unused" files yet, don't want to break everything at once :)
* Remove the unused UserrightsChangeableGroups hook introduced in r39368 (1.14)
* Fix typo in Special:ListGroupRights introduced in r52083
* Prevent duplicate key display in Special:ListGroupRights (new behavior: if a permission is both assigned and revoked from a group, it only displays as revoked).
* Fix $wgRevokePermissions handling, it now runs after every group permission has been assigned in order to revoke the permission properly.
not have the 'userrights' permission.
* Add hook 'UserrightsGetCheckboxes' to give extensions the ability to modify
the arrangement of checkboxes on the Special:UserRights form
* Add hook 'UserrightsSaveUserGroups' to give extensions the ability to modify
the groups being added and removed last-minute.
* Make UserrightsForm::doSaveUserGroups(), addLogEntry() and helpers non-static again so CentralAuth can override them; remove the short-lived UserRightsLogEntry hook
* Let UserrightsForm::fetchUser() return a WikiErrorMsg on failure
* In ApiUserrights, use an instance of the UserrightsPage class rather than calling its methods statically. This also enables interwiki userrights in this module
* Add some messages to ApiBase::$messageMap
-- Introduce tagging of individual changes (revisions, logs, and on recentchanges). The tags are customisable, and currently settable by the Abuse Filter and by the TorBlock extension. The tags can be styled on the various pages on which they appear.
-- Introduces a schema change, three new tables (valid_tag, change_tag, and tag_summary).
* Therefore added a hook to catch them from an extension (successfully tested with the cldr extension (see next commit))
* Add a title tag to the interlanguage box entries. Only added when the title differ from the shwon text.
No change of behaviour until an extension is enabled.
