* Implement accessors for isHardblock() and getRangeStart()/getRangeEnd() in the same fashion.
* Make the corresponding variables private, removing external accessors. This required updating AbuseFilter with non-B/C code, so I also implemented the rest of the changes I've made to the blocking backend in that extension.
* Move the "get an IP range which encompasses the given IP/range" logic to Block.php; will be needed later... :D
* Move Block::parseExpiryInput() to the frontend SpecialBlock::parseExpiryInput()
* consolidate the several implementations of the MediaWiki:Ipblockoptions parsing into SpecialBlock::getSuggestedDurations()
* Move to SpecialBlock.php, and rename class appropriately
* Complete refactor
* Use HTMLForm in block form. This changes most of the ids and field names on the form, but allows proper validation, nicer formatting, clears up several fixmes, and is generally Better(TM).
* Spin various parts out into static functions, several of which properly belong in the backend (but Block.php is a worse mess still)
* Invert some of the block options so that every checkbox makes the block more severe (so "check to disable email" is fine, but "check to allow usertalk edit" (default true) is inverted to "check to disable usertalk edit" (default false).
* revert r40359 (move doMassUserBlock() to core). No one seems to be using this function, which has nothing to do with the frontend UI in SpecialBlock (it might perhaps belong in Block.php); it is pretty bespoke for CheckUser, doesn't seem to have very much utility elsewhere.
current timestamp. This caused Block::__construct to put all sort of
messages in the debug log about invalid timestamp. So change Block to use
timestamp of 0 instead of '' if unspecified.
Updated all nextSequenceValue calls with new sequence names.
OverlordQ stated he'll handle changes to Postgres scripts.
Need someone to change DB2 scripts.
* All manually built LIKE queries in the core are replaced with a wrapper function Database::buildLike()
* This function automatically performs all escaping, so Database::escapeLike() is now almost never used
* Adds database field to ipblocks table, ipb_allow_usertalk, storing whether or not the user can edit their own talk page. Defaults to 0 to coincide with the default value of $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit.
* Recommended to update all current blocks to have a allow_usertalk value of whatever the current setting is
* Retasks $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit to be the default value of the field in the blocking screen - unless a sysop changes the checkbox, will use whatever that variable is set to.
* Fix K&R style braces, since demon started, we may as well finish. This was one of the last files I wrote before I was converted to Brion-style braces.
* Renamed a variable
