pick up the appropriate tags, and documentation blobs for classes. This is
the same as per r20769, but with the grouping changes (e.g. removing "@{{") omitted.
Please be advised that more related documentation tweaks may follow later - e.g.
Doxygen generates a log file of warnings that is 574 Kb in size, when run over
the just the trunk/phase3 code ... eek! Thankfully, much of that is just
whining about functions without documentation ;-)
Minor doc tweaks to prevent some PHPDocumentor warnings or errors when run on the includes/ directory. PHPDocumentor uses a syntax very similar to javadoc - mostly we already use this, but there were a few scattered places that were adjusted to make them consistent with the rest of the code. In practical terms, these changes were made:
* @url becomes @link
* @fixme becomes @todo
* HTML tags in descriptions must be closed / balanced.
* @bug was removed (where the bug was long fixed), or changed into a @todo (in the few situations where the bug was still pending)
* @obsolete becomes @deprecated
* Things like "/**@{{" and "/**@}}*/" which cause "unknown tag" warnings were removed
* @access must be a valid access level.
* @desc tag not needed, removed.
* Doesn't seem to like @licence, will accept @license however.
* Use full comment block notation in a few places (i.e. open block with "/**", start each line with " *", and end block with " */")
Then additional to this, to get some class docs associated with their respective classes:
* Moved some docs to right above those classes (deleting blank lines, or moving descriptions from the file headers)
* Marked some classes without docs as "@todo document"
* (done up to "class MIMEsearchPage" on the "classtrees_MediaWiki.html" page for the includes/ directory)
* Strict Standards: Undefined offset: 1 in includes/DateFormatter.php on line 132
* Strict Standards: Undefined offset: 1 in includes/DateFormatter.php on line 135
Caches for wikis with table prefixes will be lost on upgrade, caches for wikis without table prefixes will be preserved. Custom cache keys in extensions can be migrated at leisure. Extensions which write to core cache keys should be migrated ASAP, as I have done with Special:Makesysop.
* Made lines from initialiseMessages() appear as list items during installation
* Moved the bulk of the localisation data from the Language*.php files to the Messages*.php files. Deleted most of the Languages*.php files.
* Introduced "stub global" framework to provide deferred initialisation of core modules.
* Removed placeholder values for $wgTitle and $wgArticle, these variables will now be null during the initialisation process, until they are set by index.php or another entry point.
* Added DBA cache type, for BDB-style caches.
* Removed custom date format functions, replacing them with a format string in the style of PHP's date(). Used string identifiers instead of integer identifiers, in both the language files and user preferences. Migration should be transparent in most cases.
* Simplified the initialisation API for LoadBalancer objects.
* Removed the broken altencoding feature.
* Moved default user options and toggles from Language to User. Language objects are still able to define default preference overrides and extra user toggles, via a slightly different interface.
* Don't include the date option in the parser cache rendering hash unless $wgUseDynamicDates is enabled.
* Merged LanguageUtf8 with Language. Removed LanguageUtf8.php.
* Removed inclusion of language files from the bottom of Language.php. This is now consistently done from Language::factory().
* Add the name of the executing maintenance script to the debug log. Start the profiler during maintenance scripts.
* Added "serialized" directory, for storing precompiled data in serialized form.
