* Block.php: Set mExpiry to the value we store in the database, so that Block::equals() returns true. Fixes BlockTest::testInitializerFunctionsReturnCorrectBlock.
* In Title::checkUserBlock(): Convert message parameters to plain strings to make strict comparisons work. Fixes TitlePermissionTest::testUserBlock().
* ApiBlock.php: Follow-Up r85166, add 'Confirm' parameter to data array. Fixes ApiBlockTest::testMakeNormalBlock().
* ApiQueryTest.php: Use $wgMetaNamespace instead of $wgSitename to account for customizations.
* RandomImageGenerator.php: Use default value for constructor param to prevent fatals.
* ApiTestCaseUpload.php:
** Fix undefined variable $fileName.
** Remove stray ini_set statements, they don't belong there. Especially ini_set( 'error_reporting', 1 ) will effectively disable all reporting, which makes errors hard to track.
* ArticleTablesTest.php: Put testbug14404() in group Broken, as the fix for the bug has been reverted in r83868.
Removed unused globals $wgHooks, $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit, $wgUser, $wgOut
$wgUser was already set global at function beginning.
Moved global out of switch
* Internalise $mAddress/$mUser, $mBy/$mByName, $mEnableAutoblock, $mId as getTarget(), getBlockers(), isAutoblocking(), getId().
* This required editing AbuseFilter and CheckUser backwards-incompatibly, so push the rest of the changes out to those extensions.
* Attack the evil 14-parameter constructor and gratuitously-confusing newFromDB( $notVeryImportantParameter, $moreImportantParameter)
* Reimplement the hack for bug 13611 in a slightly less fragile fashion; could still do with further cleanup, but then again the login frontend is its own can of worms... :S
* Remove transitionary getTargetAndType() and newFromTargetAndType() methods
* Some optimisation in parseTarget()
* Fix the broken phpunit test mentioned in r84251
* Implement accessors for isHardblock() and getRangeStart()/getRangeEnd() in the same fashion.
* Make the corresponding variables private, removing external accessors. This required updating AbuseFilter with non-B/C code, so I also implemented the rest of the changes I've made to the blocking backend in that extension.
* Move the "get an IP range which encompasses the given IP/range" logic to Block.php; will be needed later... :D
* Move Block::parseExpiryInput() to the frontend SpecialBlock::parseExpiryInput()
* consolidate the several implementations of the MediaWiki:Ipblockoptions parsing into SpecialBlock::getSuggestedDurations()
* 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.
current timestamp. This caused Block::__construct to put all sort of
messages in the debug log about invalid timestamp. So change Block to use
timestamp of 0 instead of '' if unspecified.
Updated all nextSequenceValue calls with new sequence names.
OverlordQ stated he'll handle changes to Postgres scripts.
Need someone to change DB2 scripts.
* 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
