* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable
math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php:
require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php";
This is an initial stab, and a few things remain to be cleaned up:
* messages need to be moved from core to extension
* MW_MATH_* constants should be moved to the extension from core
* old back-compat math names interfaces using those constants should be removed from message files
* classic edit toolbar's math button should be added from the extension (or else dropped) -- currently there's not a clean hook, but could do it by JS
* couple of things like the 'armourMath' function on Language & LanguageConverter may want to be redone just as an unconditional, if that's simpler.
Setting $wgUseTeX alone will no longer have any affect. The var's still there for the moment as a few bits still need to be fully moved out from core.
* Work around HipHop issue 314 (volatile broken) and issue 308 (no compilation detection) by adding some large and ugly compilation detection code to WebStart.php and doMaintenance.php.
* Provide an MW_COMPILED constant which can be used to detect compiled mode throughout the codebase.
* Introduced wfIsHipHop(), which detects either compiled or interpreted mode. Used this to work around unusual eval() return value in eval.php.
* Work around lack of ini_get() in Maintenance.php, by duplicating wfIsHipHop().
* In Maintenance::shouldExecute(), accept "include" as an inclusion function name, since all kinds of inclusion give this string in HipHop.
* Introduced new class MWInit, which provides some static functions in the pre-autoloader environment.
* Introduced MWInit::compiledPath(), which provides a relative path for invoking a compiled file, and MWInit::interpretedPath(), which provides an absolute path for interpreting a PHP file. Used these new functions in the appropriate places.
* When we are running compiled code, don't include files which would generate duplicate class, function or constant definitions. Documented the new requirements on the contents of Defines.php and UtfNormalDefines.php.
* In HipHop compiled mode, it's not possible to have executable code in the same file as a class definition.
** Moved MimeMagic initialisation to the constructor.
** Moved Namespace.php global variable initialisation to Setup.php.
** Moved MemcachedSessions.php initialisation to the caller in GlobalFunctions.php.
** Moved Sanitizer.php constants and global variables to static class members. Introduced an accessor function for the attribs regex, as a new place to put code formerly at file level.
** Moved Language.php initialisation of $wgLanguageNames to Language::getLanguageNames(). Removed the global variable, marked "private" since forever.
* In two places: don't use error_log() with type=3 to append to a file, HipHop doesn't support it. Use file_put_contents() with FILE_APPEND instead.
* Work around the terrible breakage of class_exists() by using MWInit::classExists() instead in various places. In WebInstaller::getPageByName(), the class_exists() was marked with a fixme comment already, so I replaced it with an autoloader solution.
* Don't stub RequestContext. The chances of us getting away without needing to access *any* of the six major globals is nil, and in the meantime it's screwing up strong function typing and throwing catchable fatals everywhere.
* Stop stubbing $wgOut. The only path where we can avoid unstubbing it is if we immediately die due to maxlag overflow, and that's a) a pretty uncommon code path, and b) a DB issue which won't be affected by a tiny bit of extra apache load. That allows us to do strong typing on function parameters with it, which is a Good Thing (TM).
Also make OutputPage::getContext() private; I'm not convinced that a context belongs here (it's *part of* the context, not a consumer of it), let's work through it a it more before we advertise its existence.
* Move and rename to SpecialBlockList
* Use an HTMLForm in GET mode for the options form
* Use TablePager to organise the results more nicely
* Standardise the filtration for IPs and IP ranges, so looking at blocks for a range will now also show rangeblocks which contain the range
* General tidy up
* 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.
Further changes:
* Added Status::getErrorsByType() which returns the internal error array untouched
* Added ApiResult::convertStatusToArray() which converts a Status object to something useful for the Api
* Moved the global functions to GlobalFunctions.php, where they are now just convenience wrappers. Made them return non-references. Updated callers (none found in extensions).
* Added an advanced configuration method, $wgObjectCaches, which allows a lot more detail in the object cache configuration than $wgMainCacheType.
* Made all object cache classes derive from BagOStuff.
* Split the MWMemcached class into a generic client class and a MediaWiki-specific wrapper class. The wrapper class presents a simple BagOStuff interface to calling code, hiding memcached client internals, and will simplify the task of supporting the PECL extension.
* Added some extra constructor parameters to MWMemcached, configurable via $wgObjectCaches.
* Removed the *_multi() methods from BagOStuff, my grepping indicates that they are not used.
* Rewrote FakeMemCachedClient as a BagOStuff subclass, called EmptyBagOStuff.
* Added an optional "server" parameter to SQLBagOStuff. This allows the server holding the objectcache table to be different from the server holding the core DB.
* Added MultiWriteBagOStuff: a cache class which writes to multiple locations, and reads from them in a defined fallback sequence. This can be used to extend the cache space by adding disk-backed storage to existing in-memory caches.
* Made MWMemcached::get() return false on failure instead of null, to match the BagOStuff documentation and the other BagOStuff subclasses. Anything that was relying on it returning null would have already been broken with SqlBagOStuff.
* Fixed a bug in the memcached client causing keys with spaces or line breaks in them to break the memcached protocol, injecting arbitrary commands or parameters. Since the PECL client apparently also has this flaw, I implemented the fix in the wrapper class.
* Renamed BagOStuff::set_debug() to setDebug(), since we aren't emulating the memcached client anymore
* Fixed spelling error in MWMemcached: persistant -> persistent
* Removed the ZIP subtypes from $wgMimeTypeBlacklist, they no longer need to be there.
* Added ZipDirectoryReader. Added some small ZIP files which are used to test its various error cases. Most were constructed with a hex editor.
* Fixed getStatusArray() to return a consistent type regardless of whether the error message has parameters. This allows error messages with no parameters to work with the Status object conversion code in UploadBase::verifyFile().
* It was not necessary to preserve the $stripState->general->setPair() interface since it wasn't used by any extensions.
* Moved StripState to its own file.
* Refactored serialiseHalfParsedText() and unserialiseHalfParsedText() so that the bulk of the functionality is in the relevant modules, instead of using scary direct access to object member variables. Made it support the new StripState. It seemed like a lot of work to go to to support an "emergency optimisation" feature in Cite. Cite updates will be in a subsequent commit.
* Fixed spelling of serialiseHalfParsedText() and unserialiseHalfParsedText(), there is unavoidable interface breakage anyway, due to cache object versioning.
* Moved transparent tags to their own function, as requested in a fixme comment.
* Added documentation for markerSkipCallback().
* Removed OnlyIncludeReplacer, unused since MW 1.12.
* Fixed a bug causing the engine and charset settings to not be properly preserved when adding new tables on upgrade.
* Fixed total breakage of SQLite upgrade, by reusing the administrative connection to the SQLite database instead of creating a new one when wfGetDB() is called. Added LBFactory_Single to support this.
* Introduced a "schema variable" concept to DatabaseBase to avoid the use of globals for communication between the installer and the Database. Removed a lot of old global variable names from Database::replaceVars(), most were only added on a whim and were never used.
* Introduced DatabaseInstaller::getSchemaVars(), to allow schema variables to be supplied by the DatabaseInstaller child classes.
* Removed messages config-mysql-egine-mismatch [sic] and config-mysql-charset-mismatch. In the old installer it was possible for users to request a certain character set for an upgrade, but in the new installer the question is never asked. So these warnings were shown whenever a non-default character set or engine was used in the old database.
* In MysqlInstaller::preUpgrade(), fixed the incorrect strings used to identify the MySQL character sets: mysql5 instead of utf8 and mysql5-binary instead of binary.
* On install, initialise the site_stats table, using code copied from the old installer. Unlike the old installer, use SiteStats to increment the user count when the initial user is added.
* Fixed several instances of inappropriate call-by-reference.
* Replaced call_user_func_array() with call_user_func() where possible, it is shorter and simpler.
* Moved the caching boilerplate for DatabaseInstaller::getConnection() to the base class, and have the derived classes override an uncached function openConnection() instead. Updates r80892.
* In MysqlInstaller::getLocalSettings(), escape PHP strings correctly with LocalSettingsGenerator::escapePhpString().
* Reduce timeout for checks in dirIsExecutable() to 3 seconds, so that it doesn't take 30s to run when apache is in single-threaded mode for debugging.
* MySQL and SQLite have been tested and they appear to work. PostgreSQL upgrade is totally broken, apparently it was like that before I started. The Oracle code is untested.
* Added a maintenance script which generates a list of first letters. Unified Han are omitted for performance, and because they shouldn't be used as headings anyway. A future collation specific to Chinese would provide the KangXi radicals as "first letters".
* Provided a precomputed list of first letters. Used Unicode 6.0.0 data and ICU 4.2.
* Moved collation functionality from Language to a Collation class hierarchy with factory function. Removed the recently-added methods from Language and updated all callers.
* Changed Title::getCategorySortkey() to separate its parts with a line break instead of a null character. All collations supported by the intl extension ignore the null character, i.e. "ab" == "a\0b". It would have required a lot of hacking to make it work.
* Fixed the uppercase collation to handle non-ASCII characters, redundantly with r80436. I don't think it's necessary to change the collation name as was done there, so I reverted that in the course of my conflict merge. A --force option to updateCollation.php might be nice though.
It's arguable whether the code is cleaner either way, and adding all this code for the (relatively few) places we do file listings just isn't worth it.
* 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.
Add Abstract classes explicitally to the autoloader
Move abstract classes from RevisionDelete.php to RevisionDeleteAbstracts.php (svn copy and remove of redundant classes)
* Made them all implement one common interface (might add more functions to it later)
* Moved MySQLField to DatabaseMysql.php
* Renamed nullable() to isNullable()
* Removed maxLength() from:
** SQLiteField: makes no sense
** MySQLField: doesn't do what people may think, useless for this class' purpose of assisting querying the DB schema
This fixes the more general problem that the imageinfo returned with stashed uploads was inaccurate, since it was relying on
code that only worked with non-stashed files.
So, I had to:
- move the ApiQueryStashImageInfo module into core. Which others had asked for anyway, and was anticipated sometime later.
- add lines to AutoLoader and ApiQuery to accomodate the new module
- add an ugly if/then to UploadBase -- based on the type of uploaded file, it will use a different API module to simulate a getImageInfo call.
I left a TODO that this situation wasn't ideal, but the way things are now, imageInfo is constructed by the API modules, when it should probably
really be the File modules. Then the API can wrap that info into various formats.
- add a few new lines to the tests to check imageinfo information in both regular and stashed upload files
Diff.php -> WikiDiff3.php, more descriptive
DifferenceEngine.php -> WikiDiff.php, for consistency with the above and to make way for the file below
DifferenceInterface.php -> DifferenceEngine.php, since it contains the DifferenceEngine class
* Cripple the old installer (entry point is gone, supporting code immediately exits). Keeping the latter for reference still :)
* Move posix_isatty() wrapper to Maintenance.php, all CLI scripts include this
* Clarify docs on archive() deprecation and removal - hasn't been used going back thru 1.15
* Clarify docs on dbsource() deprecation and removal - was in wide use thru 1.15. 1.16 removed all extension usages
* Move the two PHP bug tests to a file with the other installer files, moved them to more logical places in new install/update sequence
* Remove mw_have_dl/mw_get_session_save_path, zero callers
* Move readconsole() and helpers to be a static method on Maintenance, no extensions have used it since 1.15 either
* Modified Xml::encodeJsVar() to allow it to pass through JS expressions without encoding, using a special object.
* In ResourceLoader::makeModuleResponse(), renamed $messages to $messagesBlob to make it clear that it's JSON-encoded, not an array.
* Fixed MessageBlobStore to store {} for an empty message array instead of [].
* In ResourceLoader::makeMessageSetScript(), fixed call to non-existent function mediaWiki.msg.set.
* For security, changed the calling convention of makeMessageSetScript() and makeLoaderImplementScript() to require explicit object construction of XmlJsCode() before interpreting their input as JS code.
* Documented several ResourceLoader static functions.
* In ResourceLoaderWikiModule, for readability, reduced the indenting level by flipping some if blocks and adding continue statements.
* In makeCustomLoaderScript(), allow non-numeric $version. The only caller I can find is already sending a non-numeric $version, presumably it was broken. Luckily there aren't any loader scripts in existence, I had to make one to test it.
* wfGetDb -> wfGetDB
* Added an extra line break in the startup module output, for readability.
* In ResourceLoaderStartUpModule::getModuleRegistrations(), fixed another assignment expression
* SVG metadata is now stored and versioned.
Chosing not to provide fallback for these functions as they seem unused outside of SVG.php (per Google) and grep.
* Moved test record stuff to testHelpers.inc, could be useful for non-parser test stuff?
* Everything else in tests/parser
* parserTestsParserTime from r12533 doesn't seem used?
* Renamed user.preferences to user.options
* Fixed bug that caused anonomous usernames (such as IP addresses) to be used in user style and script requests
* Fixed user options styles not loading for anon users
This way the required method names will show up when grepping
Database.php. I thought we had no affectedRows() method for a minute
there, until G_SabinoMullane corrected me (good thing I think aloud
in #mediawiki).
It wasn't finished, so it's not a big deal.
* Use the term workers instead of threads, which fits better for a multiserver setup.
* The API is now more accurate for our goals (I hope).
* Add support for using the parse from another worker.
* Use child classes instead of array callbacks.
* The daemon is written in C using libevent instead of python using twistd.
* The hash function used is that of Bob Jenkins, with files hash.c and hash.h directly copied from memcached 1.4.5
* Although similar in a few aspects to memcached assoc.c hash table, this is a different hash table implementation. Most important:
** The usage of a double linked list in the hash table.
** Growing is not performed using a maintenance thread. Since the entries are shortlived, it just waits for the old hash table to disappear.
* Note: valgrind 3.5.0 (2009-8-19) does not support accept4 (added in r10955, 2009-11-25). In the meantime you need to use HAVE_ACCEPT4=0 for running with valgrind (as you would need for a non-linux system).
* Sending SIGUSR1 to the daemon gracefully restarts it. The maximum limits will be doubled until the old instance finishes (ie. all its client connections expire).
* Do not try to test it with instances calling an ?action=purge They will serialize on the "UPDATE `page` SET page_touched" query instead of being serialized by the PoolCounter.
* The workers parameter is not stored by the poolcounter. It is expected that all requests with the same key will also have the same value. A reduction in new entries will not take effect if that number is working (not even when they end, if there are waiting entries). But an increase will increase throughput even for old queued requests.
Introduced a WebRequestUpload class which is a wrapper around $_FILES and contains all getUpload* and getFile* methods. This has as advantage that the upload can be passed along without $wgRequest. Also because I like objects.
* Rename Update -> DatabaseUpdaters to be more consistent with DatabaseInstaller
* Made DatabaseUpdaters abstract and merged the Updaters interface in, had Mysql/Oracle/Sqlite subclass it. Entry point is now factory DatabaseUpdaters::newForDB()
* Make sure output only happens in the top-level Installer implementations.
* Differentiate Status warning messages from Status error messages in the Installer.
* Change abstract method from Install::showStatusError() to Install::showStatusMessage() since we'll use it to show warnings now, too.
* TODO Need a better way to extract/display Status warning messages since, from my look at the Status class, it looks like warnings are implemented, but not really used.
* add beginning of CliInstallerOutput class
* make it possible to override LocalSettings from a maint script
* make basic cli installation possible (only tested mysql so far)
* Removed the insecure web entry point hiding in the maintenance directory, in RunSeleniumTests.php. Replaced it with a special page interface, with CSRF protection and access control. If you wanted a secure web entry point, then I suppose this is how it would be done, but I think it should be killed ASAP.
* As in r68544, removed as many require() calls as possible, since nobody seems to know how to do them properly. Made the usual changes to make classes autoloader-compatible: class constants instead of define(), no file-scope registration code.
* Rearranged PHPUnit startup so that MediaWiki can be started from the file scope, as required by Setup.php and other core MediaWiki startup files. The custom entry point maintenance/tests/phpunit starts MediaWiki and then passes its arguments through to PHPUnit.
* Moved the parser test tag hooks into classes and moved their registration to parserTests.inc, to allow autoloading.
* Renamed ApiSetup to ApiTestSetup, MediaWiki_Setup to MediaWikiTestSetup, PTShell to ParserTestSuiteBackend.
* Moved command-line initialisation code from the file scope of parserTests.inc to parserTests.php to allow autoloading
* Rewrote the interface between PHPUnit and the parser tests. Removed all the hacks designed to make the rest of the PHPUnit tests work without proper teardown of the parser test environment. Moved the PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite subclass to a file that's not scanned by PHPUnit, to avoid "no tests found" warnings".
* Removed the {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} parser test, too hard to make it work consistently.
Latching onto bug 22061 output
Following up r62195 and r61125Part of bug 23332
Move everything that isn't the SpecialRevisionDelete class out of specials/SpecialRevisiondelete.php into RevisionDelete.php
* Full rewrite of the WikiImporter class to a new class, XMLDumpImporter, which uses XMLReader instead of the deprecated PHP SAX interface.
* Fixes for the following bugs:
** XML Dump Processor chokes on unrecognised tags.
** Special:Import does not allow you to import a dump including only log entries.
* Added hooks to allow extensions to handle tags in any part of the XML document.
* Fully source-compatible with the previous interface.
* This is not complete yet, and should not be used outside of testing. Using it on a production database may ruin everything. This is the reason for the second entry point of new-index.php. You've been warned.
* Known issues are at [[mw:New-installer_issues]]. Please add new items to the list if you find them.
* Define variable for ApiUserrights.php that wasn't defined before.
* Add convertVerifyErrorToStatus and getVerificationErrorCode to
UploadBase to translate error consts since UploadFromUrl will
need a message to display to end-users.
* refactor mime-checking out of UploadBase::verifyFile into
UploadBase::verifyMimeType
* Make UploadBase::verifyFile always return arrays for errors
* Use HttpFunctions instead of custom curl handler for async downloading
* TODO: Need a way to feed errors back to the requestor
* TODO: Need to add watchlist param handling and warnings checks.
* Add append() method to FileRepo classes to enable chunked uploading
* Change chunksessionkey to chunksession
* Remove echo json stuff
* Fix a multitude of bugs in my own code
* still to test: mwEmbed use of chunked upload
* Extended the return interface for tag hooks in a way analogous to the one for parser functions, allowing <nowiki> and <html> to specify that they want to be in the nowiki replacement array instead of the general replacement array.
* Removed ParserOptions::setUseTeX() and related. If <math> is going to be registered in firstCallInit(), then it needs to be stable across multiple parser calls and not change based on parser options. Only one extension caller.
In parserTests.inc:
* Fixed parser test failures due to $wgMathDirectory not being properly set up. The math directory of the host wiki was being used, leading to a parser test failure if it was not writable.
* Fixed message cache hack from r15502. Made parser tests not fail in the case where a tested message is overwritten by the local wiki. All tests now pass on my installation.
* Added Ryan Grove's jsmin.php and wrote a maintenance script wrapper called minify.php
* Added a makefile to rebuild skins/common
* Rebuilt jquery.min.js
This just lets you enter the database by hand in LocalSettings.php, for
testing. Now other people can actually test ExternalAuth without having
a vBulletin license. 23 lines not counting whitespace/comments/closing
braces, and took me ~20 minutes to write.
* Reverted HttpFunctions.php to r45549 and renamed wgSyncHTTPTimeout back to wgHTTPTimeout
* Edited out the asynchronous features from UploadFromUrl. Made fetchFile() use the curlCopy() function from new-upload r47811 instead of Http::doDownload(). Wrote my own URL validity check to avoid having to use either of the two buggy precedents.
* Removed UploadFromChunk
* Removed chunk upload and background status from ApiUpload.php
* Reverted r54669, use of addScriptClass()
* Left getHeadScripts() in its current location (OutputPage) instead of moving it back to SkinTemplate, just added wikibits.js to it to replace the removed addCoreScripts2Top()
* Put MemCachedClientforWiki in memcached-client.php so that maintenance/mctest.php doesn't crash when $wgMainCacheType is not CACHE_MEMCACHED
Based on a patch by Kim Hyun-Joon
* 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
** testing page for proxy setup (hard coded to localhost)
** added basic support to skin.php for enabling of apiproxy (off by default)
* added flickrSearch as another remote repository
* other refactoring, cleanup of remoteSearchDriver (add-media-wizard)
* removed query.json.1-3.js
* removed jquery.secureEvalJSON.js
* replaced with official http://www.JSON.org/json2.js script which is only included if JSON is undefined
* Login doesn't attach to session properly, so can't stay logged in!
* Password field shown in plaintext!
If it just DOESN'T WORK please keep it on a work branch, don't put it in trunk!

Continued reports of breakage with the new version...
Non-vital changes of this magnitude should probably be worked up on a branch to ensure everything's consistent before pushing them to trunk.
** Split backend stuff out into includes/Login.php
** Split account creation and login stuff up, into includes/specials/CreateAccount.php and includes/specials/Userlogin.php.
* Reimplement the special pages as subclasses of SpecialPage
* Use HTMLForm to generate the input forms
** Deprecate and delete includes/templates/Userlogin.php, which is horrible and old :D
This changes the syntax of the UserLoginForm and UserCreateForm hooks, and AuthPlugin::modifyUITemplate; they now receive the SpecialPage subclass rather than the template to work with. Update everything I could find in SVN to accommodate this.
* Moved historyLine(), beginHistoryList(), endHistoryList() and related helper functions to the pager class.
* Renamed HistoryPage member variables, removed "m" prefix.
* Added declaration for IndexPager::$mIsFirst
* Fixed the formal parameter bloat in the file finding functions by making wfFindFile(), RepoGroup::findFile() and FileRepo::findFile() take an associative array of options instead of a rapidly growing collection of formal parameters. Maintained backwards compatibility for the $time parameter, which was the only one used in an extension.
* Took the advice of the todo comment on FileRepo::findFiles() and implemented a calling convention for specifying times (and other options)
* Removed the file object cache from Parser, redundant with the RepoGroup file cache
* Deleted clueless and non-functional LocalRepo::findFiles(). Does not respect redirects, deletion bitfields, or anything else nuanced about FileRepo::findFile(). Does not have the same calling convention as FileRepo::findFiles().
This time done in a nice, centralized fashion, reducing LOC for callers
even if HTML 5 is disabled. The implementation is a new Html class,
similar to Xml but intended to be HTML-specific from the beginning
instead of half-heartedly attempting to provide generic XML services but
actually with lots of HTML-specific stuff tacked on.
As part of the new Html class, a global config option $wgWellFormedXml
is added. It's set to true by default, but if set to false, the Html
class will drop some things that HTML 5 doesn't require, like
self-closing " />" syntax and attribute quotation marks (sometimes).
* Creates a new media handler for GIF files, and extracts metadata such as duration, whether or not the GIF is looped, and the number of frames.
* Uses the extracted metadata for the long file description.
* Considers number of frames in the calculation of image area (multiplies by width and height to get the "time-area", or so to speak).
After this patch is deployed, the work-around to disable GIF scaling on Wikimedia sites can be eliminated.
This is pure code duplication and should be done by fetching data from the respective query pages. This has as advantage that other query pages can be readily added to the API as well. See the querypage-work branch.
* Docs have been updated to indicate the standard on how to write maintenance scripts (MW.org docs will follow) Have ported vast majority of maintenance scripts to new format. Remaining ones (mostly FiveUpgrade-related) are a bit more tricky. commandLine.inc is untouched for now. Many have gotten code-style updates as well. Deleted .inc files were only used by their .php counterparts, and have been merged into single files.
* (bug 11867) Lock error on redirect table when running orphans.php
* (bug 16322) Allow maintenance scripts to accept DB user/pass over input or params
* (bug 18566) Maintenance script to un/protect pages
* initStats overhaul, now uses class SiteStatsInit. Also fixes bug 18930
This should not affect any existing behavior. (Except that it reorders
some error conditions in attemptAutoCreate(), but probably no one cares
about that.) It adds a new database table, but it will be unused unless
you enable external authentication.
An outline of the rationale for this system, and the design planning, is
at <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ExternalAuth>. Essentially,
AuthPlugin puts too much of a burden on plugin authors, requiring them
to write a lot of policy logic instead of just handling the actual
interface to the external user database. This system uses a standard
framework to decide policy questions, and auth plugins only need to
provide some low-level, clearly-specified data.
There are lots of features still missing, marked in the code, but basic
functionality is present. The commit includes initial support for one
type of external authentication, the forum software vBulletin (which I
happen to know well, and want to integrate with my MediaWiki).
I'm encouraging the inclusion of ExternalAuth plugins in core because in
this framework, the amount of code required to add an additional backend
is quite small -- well under 100 lines in this case. I'd hope to see a
lot more of these, and it seems unreasonable to make an armada of tiny
extensions instead of letting them live happily in their own directory
out of everyone's way.
Here is a short overview of changes and associated default configuration variables (most everything is off by default) also see ~soon to be updated~: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Media_Projects_Overview
= Upload Improvements =
==Upload API ==
* Based on the early work of Bryan Tong and others it adds the upload option to the api.
* We rewrite Special:Upload page to include use the new refactoring
* Added in token checks in both the SpecialUpload.php page so avoids DOS / xss copy-by-url JavaScript based cross site POST file submissions
== Copy by URL==
$wgAllowCopyUploads = false;
* http class rewrite includes a new http background download see: includes/HttpFunctions.php
* spins off a php process that calls: maintenance/http_session_download.php
* pushes updates to the session and gives the user a progress bar on http copy uploads from other server progress (using js2 upload interface) (if not using the js2 upload interface it does the request in-place but the download is limited to the php ini timeout time)
== Firefogg ==
* Firefogg enables resumable upload by chunks
* progress indicators and conditional invokation (js2 system)
* and of-course client side transcoding.
= Script Server =
$wgEnableScriptLoader = false;
* off by default if $wgEnableScriptLoader is turned on script files are grouped, gziped, cached etc.
for more info see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ScriptLoader
* Includes some early skin js include fixes (skin/script system still lots of love)
* Includes a "javascript class autoloader" this is packaged into mwEmbed so that the mwEmbed library can work in stand alone mode (while retaining localization and script serving) (one such application is the make page for firefogg.org : http://www.firefogg.org/make/index.html )
* The file that contains the autojavascript loading classes is: js2/php/jsAutoloadLocalClasses.php
* One can use this auto class loading dependency system with extensions and add-ons but I need to better document that.
= js2 system / mwEmbed=
$wgEnableJS2system = false
* includes initial rewrite towards more jquery based javascript code
* especially for the Special:Upload page.
* Also the edit page include support for the "add-media-wizard"
* includes dependency loader for javascript that optionally takes advantage of the script-loader
* remote embedding of javascript interfaces (like embedding video, or commons media searching)
* $wgDebugJavaScript = false; .. .this variable lets you always get "always fresh javascript". When used with the script-loader it does not minify the script-loader output.
= mwEmbed =
* Will commit a separate patch to oggHandler that conditionally outputs <video tag> to use the new javascript video player.
** mv_embed player includes: play-head, volume control, remote embedding, oggz-chop support across plugins.
* add-media-wizard adds easy inserts of media to pages (with import)
== jQuery==
* we include a base install of jQuery, jQuery ui and some plugins.
* all the javascript classes are in the scriptloader so its easy to load any set of jquery ui components that you may need using the script-server. You get a callback so you can then execute js with dependencies loaded.
== other stuff ==
there is a bit more code in js2 that pertains to sequence editing, timed text display and basic image editing. We include a base import of pixastic-lib & pixastic-editor... will work with the pixastic developer to try and ensure upstream compatibility on our usage of the library for in-browser photo and sequence manipulation.
* Renamed Article::outputFromWikitext() to Article::getOutputFromWikitext()
* Factored out cascade protection updates
* Removed recently-added Article::tryParserCache(): misnamed, can be done in one line of code in the caller. Deprecated OutputPage::tryParserCache().
* Made some functions public instead of protected when they could be useful from hooks.
* In ParserCache, removed PHP 4-style ampersands
In Article::view():
* Factored out robot policy logic, "redirected from" header, patrol footer, diff page, revdelete header, CSS/JS formatting, footer, namespace header, missing article error
* Removed some variables, renamed some others, fixed incorrect use of empty()
* Used the refactored footer section to do a couple of early returns and unindent a massive if(!$outputDone) block
* Removed fantasy interpretation of $this->getContent()===false in comment
* Don't try the parser cache when ArticleViewHeader specified $outputDone=true
* Move timing hack to getOutputFromWikitext()
* Stop using $wgOut->parserOptions() with save/restore nonsense every time you want to change something in it. This is meant to be OOP.
* Don't overwrite the article text with an error message and then pretend to write it to the cache, that's confusing
* The serialized message cache, which would have been redundant, has been removed. Similar performance characteristics can be achieved with $wgLocalisationCacheConf['manualRecache'] = true;
* Added a maintenance script rebuildLocalisationCache.php for offline rebuilding of the localisation cache.
* Extension i18n files can now contain any of the variables which can be set in Messages*.php. It is possible, and recommended, to use this feature instead of the hooks for special page aliases and magic words.
* $wgExtensionAliasesFiles, LanguageGetMagic and LanguageGetSpecialPageAliases are retained for backwards compatibility. $wgMessageCache->addMessages() and related functions have been removed. wfLoadExtensionMessages() is a no-op and can continue to be called for b/c.
* Introduced $wgCacheDirectory as a default location for the various local caches that have accumulated. Suggested $IP/cache as a good place for it in the default LocalSettings.php and created this directory with a deny-all .htaccess.
* Patched Exception.php to avoid using the message cache when an exception is thrown from within LocalisationCache, since this tends to fail horribly.
* Removed Language::getLocalisationArray(), Language::loadLocalisation(), Language::load()
* Fixed FileDependency::__sleep()
* In Cdb.php, fixed newlines in debug messages
In MessageCache::get():
* Replaced calls to $wgContLang capitalisation functions with plain PHP functions, reducing the typical case from 99us to 93us. Message cache keys are already documented as being restricted to ASCII.
* Implemented a more efficient way to filter out bogus language codes, reducing the "foo/en" case from 430us to 101us
* Optimised wfRunHooks() in the typical do-nothing case, from ~30us to ~3us. This reduced MessageCache::get() typical case time from 93us to 38us.
* Removed hook MessageNotInMwNs to save an extra 3us per cache hit. Reimplemented the only user (LocalisationUpdate) using the new hook LocalisationCacheRecache.
I moved a number of methods and marked them abstract in DatabaseBase,
namely those that met the following criteria:
1) Used some mysql_* function, so would obviously fail on any other DB.
2) Were already implemented by all five non-MySQL subclasses.
It would be reasonable to revisit these and make the less essential ones
return a dummy value instead of being abstract. And document them. And
move more methods that are MySQL-specific. But one thing at a time.
I also split the classes Database, DatabaseMysql, and MySQLMasterPos to
DatabaseMysql.php.
This should theoretically have no practical changes, but it's a bunch of
changed code, so it will possibly break something by accident.
Followup to r51795.
All other databases were changed to extend DatabaseBase instead of
Database. Database was kept as an alias for DatabaseMysql for
compatibility. Existing explicit references to Database that I could
find were changed to DatabaseMysql for the sake of clarity.
Should cause no functional changes.
* Refactored to remove massive duplication
* Removed page parameter and associated contextPage member variable, doesn't seem to do anything.
* Put ID lists into a single ids parameter and member variable instead of having one for each type.
* Fixed inappropriate call of Title::newFromUrl(), always wrong
* Don't pretend to use the return value from functions that don't return anything, this reduces readability.
* Use the table names for deleteKey/typeName values, they look more like English
* Use protected not private
* Remove requirement for log type to be specified in the target
* Use POST for RevisionDelete entry forms, to avoid URL size limits and issues with non-PATH_INFO URLs
* Don't purge all pages that use the given file
* LocalFile::purgeCache() already calls purgeHistory,() no need to do it again. But do call purgeDescription().
* Removed token from unhide=1 links, unnecessary
* Tokens are necessary on file streaming links, added them
* Fixed private data leakage due to incorrect use of LocalRepo::newFromArchiveName(). Non-existent placeholder file was returned which meant that $oimage->userCan(File::DELETED_FILE) was always true. Pass the archive name to tryShowFile() instead of the storage key.
* Using ls_field='oi_timestamp' is not correct, oi_timestamp refers to the timestamp of the revision in question, whereas the key that is stored is the timestamp of the previous revision (i.e. the timestamp in oi_archive_name). oi_archive_name would be more correct, although only half the field is used.
Elsewhere:
* Added missing message filehist-missing
* Fixed double asterisk in Status::getWikiText()
* Fixed escaping of the target parameter to Special:RevisionDelete from ImagePage
* Deleted FileStore.php. Deprecated in filerepo refactor except for get()/export() but somehow resurrected by RevisionDelete. Hopefully this will be the end of it. New interfaces will be added for wfStreamFile() in a later commit.
* Added convenience function File::getStorageKey(), factored out of Special:Undelete
* Added convenience function Revision::newFromArchiveRow(), factored out of Special:Undelete and Special:RevisionDelete
* Fixed notice in Special:Upload, uninitialised $pageText
FIXME: current revision can be suppressed on undeletion causing an unauthenticated unsuppress. Comments indicate this is a known issue. I fixed the parser cache pollution in this case but not the rest.
This looks pretty funky...
A page with the title Main Page already exists. Would you like to edit the existing page?
Yes. I want to contribute to the existing page.
Yes. I want to contribute to the existing page.
Lack of interlinking tools means that this would promote creation of orphan pages, and the UI isn't very good. Doesn't seem to be a clear way to disable it in favor of alternate creation methods either.
* add 'Create a page' to default sidebar
* remove uniwiki/CreatePage from Translate
* remove uniwiki/CreatePage from UniwikiSettings.php
* add special page aliases of CreatePage extension to MessagesXx.php
* New WantedQueryPage class for all of these Wanted*s, moved some identical methods to it
* Removed sortDescending() because it was already defined as returning true @ QueryPage, no need to duplicate
