* Added rvprop=size to prop=revisions. Can get the size of all the revisions. The size will not be shown if it is NULL in the database.
* (Experimental) list=allpages now allows to filter by article min/max size and protection status (thanks to [[en:user:madman]] for the idea). The database performance of this addition might be so severe that I might have to remove or restrict it.
Breaking change:
* list=exturlusage XML element's tag is now 'eu' instead of 'p' to be more consistent with the other results.
* Added full text search in titles and content (list=search)
* (bug 10684) Expanded list=allusers functionality
* Possible breaking change: prop=revisions no longer includes pageid for rvprop=ids
* Bug fix: proper search escaping for SQL LIKE queries.
* breaking change: Converted a map of revisions into a list of revisions to allow easier json processing (no need to know map keys)
* html formatting now properly links urls ending with a '\n' string (jsonfm)
* regression: fixed allpages to return int instead of string for pageid and ns
* Added: info now returns page length, counter, and a new flag
* 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.
* Convert "$dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );" --> "$dbw = wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );"
* convert "$skin =& $wgUser->getSkin();" --> "$skin = $wgUser->getSkin();"
For the time being have not changed the function definitions of wfGetDB() or User::getSkin() [i.e. they are still both return-by-ref], so as to ensure the interface does not change for extensions [some of which may still be trying to run on PHP4 environments]. However presumably at some point this can be changed too.
Also includes tiny tweak to newlines in parserTests - will show 1 rather than 2 newlines between the "Reading tests from" strings when in quiet mode.
* removing some unused global declarations.
* removing or commenting out or adding comments for unused local vars.
* Adding one or two local var declarations.
* Declaring $matches array passed to preg_match() / preg_match_all() as array() before using [not required, just have a slight preference for the explicitness].
* remove one or two pass-by-reference function declarations where the value is not modified.
* Adding some braces to if-else blocks.
* In Parser.php, stripstrate is now an object rather than an array as per r17820, so we no longer need ask for a reference to it (as in "$x =& $this->mStripState;"), and in fact it's probably just simpler to get rid of $x altogether.
* Moving some preg regexes from "" quoting to '' quoting to stop static analyzer whinging about bad escape sequences.
... up to "LinksUpdate.php" in the includes/ directory.
* API: added experimental watchlist rss/atom feed
* API: if available, json_encode() will be used
* API: opensearch parameter changed to "search=" (more descriptive)
* API: minor parameter cleanup, a wrapper for Feed class
