* Added a configuration variable allowing the "break out of framesets" feature to be switched on and off. Off by default -- there's all sorts of flashy frameset gadgets around, outright abuse is more rare, especially for small default installs.
* Refactored URL fragment handling.
* Made Title::secureAndSplit() slightly more legible.
* Refactored makeGlobalVariablesScript() -- it's not particularly convenient or maintainable to pass all global variables through the template array. The array is there for BC, not flexibility.
* 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 $x altogether.
* Moving some preg regexes from "" quoting to '' quoting to stop static analyzer whinging about bad escape sequences.
... up to "LinksUpdate.php" in the includes/ directory.
* Removed some backtracking regexes with an O(N^2) worst case, replaced with StringUtils::delimiterReplace(). There is a beneficial functional difference: /*/ is no longer considered to be a complete CSS comment.
* Changed the parser strip state from an array to an object. This should hopefully avoid the PHP bugs with array references. StripState uses the new ReplacementArray to do the replacements, thereby supporting FSS.
* Removed DatabaseFunctions.php from the default startup sequence. Moved wfGetDB() to GlobalFunctions.php.
* Introduced the SiteStats class, with a collection of cached site stats accessor functions.
* Removed all global functions from Parser.php, they don't belong there.
* Made LanguageConverter use the new ReplacementArray class instead of managing its own FSS objects.
* Make section edits show templates used in the section, not the page
Patch by Mark Haidar (Fyren). I didn't change the Boolean params to class constants because they're currently called as ($this->preview, $this->section != ''), which is much more readable than the alternative.
* Document structure changed, so some JavaScript/CSS may need tweaking (wikibits.js updated to reflect changes).
* Parsertests updated, but don't seem to run, so someone please confirm that there are no (illusory) regressions.
* $wgStyleVersion bumped.
* Removing "whitelistreadtitle" and "whitelistreadtext", which seem to be unused.
* Removing the self login link in the create account not allowed screen, as it is not useful.
* Fixing "loginreqlink" in Hebrew.
* Fixing various small bugs about these error pages.
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.
