* 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 $fail parameter to getConnection(), obsolete.
* Removed the useless force() function.
* Abstracted the replication position interface to allow for future non-MySQL support.
* Rearranged Database.php. Added a few debugging features.
* Removed ancient benet-specific hack from waitForSlave.php
* Add @addtogroup tags to various classes, to try and group conceptually-related classes together.
* Add brief descriptions to various Special pages, thanks to Phil Boswell.
* Moving some docs to be right above the classes they represent, so that they are picked up.
* @link. You might think @link would surely mean "here comes a web URL" ... but @link is a valid command
in Doxygen, which means an entirely different kind of link (an internal link to somewhere, so that you can separate
documentation and implementation). The result is a mess, and the best solution I can see is to use "@see" instead of "@link".
* Warning: argument `nourl' of command @param is not found in the argument list of Linker::makeMediaLinkObj($title,$text='')
* Moving few class descriptions to right above classes, and/or formatting into Javadoc style.
* "@addtogroup Special Pages" --> "@addtogroup SpecialPage" so that all special pages have the same @addtogroup tag.
* @fixme --> @todo (must have missed these before)
* "@param $specialPage @see" remove the "@" in the "@see" to stop warning.
* @throws wants type, then a brief description, to stop warning.
This last one is for PHPdocumentor only, but it fixes something for PHPDocumentor, and should be neutral for Doxygen:
* WARNING in includes/api/ApiFormatYaml_spyc.php on line 860: docblock template never terminated with /**#@-*/
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)
* removing some unused global declarations.
* removing or commenting out or adding comments for unused local vars.
* Adding one or two local var declarations.
* Declaring $matches array passed to preg_match() / preg_match_all() as array() before using [not required, just have a slight preference for the explicitness].
* remove one or two pass-by-reference function declarations where the value is not modified.
* Adding some braces to if-else blocks.
* In Parser.php, stripstrate is now an object rather than an array as per r17820, so we no longer need ask for a reference to it (as in "$x =& $this->mStripState;"), and in fact it's probably just simpler to get rid of $x altogether.
* Moving some preg regexes from "" quoting to '' quoting to stop static analyzer whinging about bad escape sequences.
... up to "LinksUpdate.php" in the includes/ directory.
* Deleted DatabaseMysql.php, no longer necessary, database classes are autoloaded.
* Moved wfGetMimeMagic() to MimeMagic::singleton()
* Fixed a couple of __CLASS__.'::'.__FUNCTION__ things.
* remove require_once() throughout whole code, yet left in few places
* move global functions in HttpUtils, ProxyTools, Credits to class methods
* php5 only: __autoload() now used, combined with class->file map and require()
* move initialization of $wgValidSkinNames to Skin::getSkinNames()
* few more changes that will surely break stuff.
- treat NULL properly in watchlist lookup for notification sending
- consolidate a lot of ugly code that fiddles in those tables
- use user_newtalk consistently in enotif mode; watchlist for email notifications, user_newtalk for on-screen message and status check
- clean up handling of other peoples' user_talk pages when in the talk-only limited enotif: only your own will get sent, not other people watching your page
- and others watching your page _will_ work in watchable enotif mode
- add a watch on page + talk page consistently for the auto-add of the user talk page, not just half the page
- don't unwatch the user talk page on view! that's just wacky
- removed UserTalkUpdate, now redundant
- have User::setNewTalk() apply immediately
- clear newtalk from User::clearNotification() and User::clearAllNotifications()
