* 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
* Split MediaWiki namespace into MediaWiki and Template (requires changes to all language files)
* Purge links to on edit of Template namespace
* General refactoring of purging and cache invalidation code
This saves trouble in a number of places where we can now do joins with the link tables to get other info (such as cur_is_redirect!) as well as the name, and fewer bits need to be juggled on page renaming, as outgoing links no longer have to be changed (cur_id remains the same when a page is renamed).
rebuildLinks.inc and some of the tools in the 'maintenance page' still need to be updated to work with the new setup. (Special:Maintenance needs a *lot* of cleanup in general. It's kind of a catch-all of vaguely defined features which suck performance like a hydroelectric dam.)
Also I've slipped in some extra debug code. And, I think 'indexes.sql' is a big waste of time and should all be moved into tables.sql. Building indexes separately doesn't help on InnoDB and won't do anything on MyISAM either if you're just going to replace the table after it's built with an imported one from a dump which creates it with indexes.
practical, clear methods:
Title::getLocalURL() - "/wiki/index.php/Foobar" or "/wiki/index.php?title=Foobar&action=edit"
Title::getFullUrl() - ditto with $wgServer on the front
Title::getInternalUrl() - ditto with $wgInternalServer on the front (for some squid-related functions)
Title::escapeLocalUrl() - local URL escaped for HTML output
Title::escapeFullUrl() - full URL escaped for HTML output
All take an optional query parameter.
Title::getURL(), wfFullUrl() and wfFullUrlE() are now officially
deprecated and will result in instant death. wfLocalUrl() and wfLocalUrlE()
will be killed shortly; they are still used in the language files.
* Converted many instances of globals from the query to $_REQUEST
* Renamed near-useless Title::getURL() to Title::getPartialURL()
* Created new Title::getURL(), to replace wfLocalUrl, wfLocalUrlE, wfFullUrl and wfFullUrlE. Replaced most instances throughout the code
* In Parser.php, generalised stripping of <nowiki>, <pre> and <math> to allow more general use such as nesting
* Moved body of Article::preSaveTransform to Parser.php
* Put lots of comments in Title.php
