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)
* Convert "$dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );" --> "$dbw = wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );"
* convert "$skin =& $wgUser->getSkin();" --> "$skin = $wgUser->getSkin();"
For the time being have not changed the function definitions of wfGetDB() or User::getSkin() [i.e. they are still both return-by-ref], so as to ensure the interface does not change for extensions [some of which may still be trying to run on PHP4 environments]. However presumably at some point this can be changed too.
Also includes tiny tweak to newlines in parserTests - will show 1 rather than 2 newlines between the "Reading tests from" strings when in quiet mode.
Caches for wikis with table prefixes will be lost on upgrade, caches for wikis without table prefixes will be preserved. Custom cache keys in extensions can be migrated at leisure. Extensions which write to core cache keys should be migrated ASAP, as I have done with Special:Makesysop.
* Ended the role of $wgLinkCache in link updates. Instead, links (and related entities) are registered in the ParserOutput object during a parse. The LinksUpdate constructor now takes a ParserOutput object as a parameter. $wgLinkCache is still used, but only as a cache of article IDs.
* Because the link list is now saved and restored in the parser cache, meta tag keywords now work on parser cache hits. Some refactoring took place in this area.
* Rendering of the HTML for category links has moved from Parser to OutputPage.
* Did some general pottering around in Article.php, such as allowing an Article object to be created with a specified revision ID, thereby optionally removing the dependence on $wgRequest. Not used at the current time.
* A few documentation tweaks.
dealing with moves and deletes of widely-linked pages.
The updaters should be fixed up to understand future versions without the
tables there without breaking upgrades.
* DB_WRITE now called DB_MASTER, DB_READ now called DB_SLAVE
* Converted to use SQL wrapper functions instead of direct SQL in various places
* Experimental method for preserving the chronological order of events when slave servers are used. Untested.
* Fixes to the new post-parse existence test feature
* Some.. other stuff
