options. Not yet ready for production use; Special:Revisiondelete is
incomplete, and the flags are not preserved across page deletion/undeletion.
To try it; add the 'deleterevision' permission to a privileged group.
Also split some functions from GlobalFunctions to XmlFunctions.php, added
some convenience functions for building form controls, some more Linker
conveniences for formatting various types of standard link clusters.
* allow interwiki {{subst:...}} using action=raw fetches
* Allowed non-MSIE browsers to access action=raw via the article alias. This is necessary to allow action=raw transclusion, since the only known URL is the article path, not the script path.
* Specify a user agent in wfGetHttp() fetches, when using curl.
* Added transcache table to tables.sql, it was in the updater but not there for some reason.
* Fixed transcache expiry, added option
* Allow interwiki transclusion outside the template namespace using leading colon syntax. Syntax is counterintuitive at times, e.g. to subst the wikipedia main page you would use {{subst::Wikipedia:Main_Page}} not {{subst:Wikipedia::Main_Page}}.
* including code from DefaultSettings is a no-no
* no release-notes entries for major changes?
* not following code formatting standards
* serial version numbers probably not reliable
* HEAD is our production code; maybe try this separately first?
Can create/upgrade database tables for MediaWiki and extensions based on internal version management.
For HOWTO see the beginning of include/Upgrader.php
* 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.
list via Special:Undelete. Default is off, replicating the 1.5 behavior,
but it can be turned back on for random users to replicate the previous
1.6 dev behavior.
Gotten a rash of requests lately to delete history items, which then still
show their forbidden details to the whole world. Until we get this sorted
out to be easier to work with, I'm disabling the view of deleted history
for non-sysops on wikimedia.
* allow specifying different profiler types
* add ProfilerSimple (that for now just builds in-memory profiling structure,
may be extended to write it somewhere)
