* Fix up messages
* For new FileRepo::append(), use flags to determine whether to delete or not
* Add more error checking for appending
* Fix a couple of places in Revision.php and LogPage.php where DB errors were produced when comment was null
* Remove bogus checking for !$comment, etc on the DONE phase of chunked uploading
* Don't pretend to return a value when raising an exception
* Add more tests for chunked uploads
* Verify that Status::getErrorsArray() (at least where it is used in ApiUpload::execute()) returns an array that we can pass to dieUsageMessage()
* Ensure that checkWarnings(), etc work only on the complete file
Move token requringness check to the ApiMain
Adding an exception if we're using "gettoken" (block/unblock)
Remove array( 'missingparam', 'token' ), from the getPossibleErrors of modules that set requireToken method to true
Actually test UploadChunks code against Firefogg. Uploads work, but
feedback on the Firefogg side seems not too. Also, Firefogg makes a
complete upload, but then attempts more uploads.
* 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

If you're seeing this commit in blames, tell your blame tool to ignore
whitespace, e.g., git blame -w or svn blame -x -w.
* Reverted HttpFunctions.php to r45549 and renamed wgSyncHTTPTimeout back to wgHTTPTimeout
* Edited out the asynchronous features from UploadFromUrl. Made fetchFile() use the curlCopy() function from new-upload r47811 instead of Http::doDownload(). Wrote my own URL validity check to avoid having to use either of the two buggy precedents.
* Removed UploadFromChunk
* Removed chunk upload and background status from ApiUpload.php
* Reverted r54669, use of addScriptClass()
* Left getHeadScripts() in its current location (OutputPage) instead of moving it back to SkinTemplate, just added wikibits.js to it to replace the removed addCoreScripts2Top()
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.
