* QueryPage now uses array-based query building instead of raw SQL
* Converted all QueryPage-based special pages that were using old-style wfSpecialFoo functions to new-style SpecialPage subclasses; this is possible because QueryPage is changed to extend SpecialPage
* Backward compatibility for extensions is partly preserved: getSQL() is fallen back on for QueryPage subclasses that don't implement getQueryInfo(), but getOrder() will be ignored (implement getOrderFields() instead). This also means that dual compatibility (1.18 compat and b/c with pre-1.18) is trivial
Extension changes will be merged after this commit.
These changes make it easier to write an API module for QueryPages (bug 14869); this wasn't done in the branch but will be done in trunk soon.
This is a global search and replace of NS_IMAGE and NS_IMAGE_TALK with NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK respectively in all core files, excluding those already updated in step 1 (r44004).
Doxygen documentation update:
* Changed alls @addtogroup to @ingroup. @addtogroup adds the comment to the group description, but doesn't add the file, class, function, ... to the group like @ingroup does. See for example http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/group__SpecialPage.html where it's impossible to see related files, classes, ... that should belong to that group.
* Added @file to file description, it seems that it should be explicitely decalred for file descriptions, otherwise doxygen will think that the comment document the first class, variabled, function, ... that is in that file.
* Removed some empty comments
* Removed some ?>
Added following groups:
* ExternalStorage
* JobQueue
* MaintenanceLanguage
One more thing: there are still a lot of warnings when generating the doc.
* Remove deprecated "@package MediaWiki" from comments
* Kill ending ?> tag in AdminSettings.sample
* remove uneeded comment in SpecialPage.php
* update some links to docs/skin.txt instead of skin.txt
* Added support for configuration of an arbitrary number of commons-style file repositories.
* Split Image.php into filerepo/File.php and filerepo/LocalFile.php
* Renamed Image::getImagePath() to File::getPath()
* Added initial support for timestamp-based file fetching (OldLocalFile), to be expanded upon by aaron.
* Changed the interface for Image/File object creation: use wfFindFile() or wfLocalFile() depending on semantics
* ImageGallery::add() now accepts a title object as the first parameter
* Moved file handling operations on upload from SpecialUpload to File
* Removed path-related functions from ImageFunctions.php. Removed static path accessors from File.
* Added a Content-Disposition header to thumb.php output
* Improved thumb.php error handling
* Updated the unit test suite to kind of partially work with modern computers. RunTests.php doesn't work just yet. Fixed an actual regression that the test suite detected -- moved some defines to Defines.php where they will be loaded consistently.
* 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.
* Introduce ImageQueryPage class which uses galleries instead of boring old lists
* (bug 9069) Use galleries in query pages dedicated to images [uncategorised images, most linked-to images and unused files at the moment]
