* 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
that have an array index other than 0
Since we don't enforce linear ordering of array keys on longer arrays, we
may as well not enforce it on single-element arrays either.
The freaky little Categoryfinder class was using different keys for its
arrays, which could cause a PHP notice and silent lookup failure when
only one ID was looked up.
* single-element arrays were inefficient ("field IN (42)"), now using straight matches ("field=42")
* empty arrays caused an error ("IN ()" is invalid syntax), now will evaluate to 0 (false)
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

* Added table option variable to the SQL patch files, so now upgrading a non-standard schema won't leave your database horribly corrupted.
* Added sql.php, for sourcing SQL files with MediaWiki variable substitution.
* Disable MySQL's strict mode at session start for MySQL 4.1+, to avoid the various problems that occur when it is on.
* 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.
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)
- 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)
