* DB_WRITE now called DB_MASTER, DB_READ now called DB_SLAVE
* Converted to use SQL wrapper functions instead of direct SQL in various places
* Experimental method for preserving the chronological order of events when slave servers are used. Untested.
* Fixes to the new post-parse existence test feature
* Some.. other stuff
user names, as "$wgSitename user Foo".
Added a static method to the User class to fetch a real name given an ID,
and added a pattern for specifying user names in Language.php.
to add this field.
User.php stores and fetches the field, and has accessors for it.
User login allows setting the field on account creation.
The Preferences page allows changing the real name.
The labels are available for the real name, and the explanation of the email
field on login has been expanded to include an explanation of the real name
field, too.
Update script checks for the field, and adds it if it's missing.
* Add 'pagetitle' message to customize the HTML page title format (eg, "$1 - Wikipedia Encyclopedia")
* Some XHTML fixes to Nostalgia skin, prefs
* Removing the unfinished Smarty skins, renamed Standard to Classic
* Remove "gnunote" message in favor of general "copyright" msg, which is filled with the link & name in $wgRightsPage/$wgRightsURL and $wgRightsText
* Support a copyright-related icon as $wgRightsIcon (includes sample gnu-fdl.png)
* Show "Powered by MediaWiki" icon in footer (poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png by Dan Carlson)
elimination of the use of import_request_variables (which gives us all
the insecurity of register_globals). Uncomment the define of DEBUG_GLOBALS
in index.php to turn on extra error reporting and trace down use of
uninitialized variables and nassssty globals.
Also rearranged the magic_quotes fixing, may not yet cover everything...
Installer is now able to connect to the db, check its version (and
enable some MySQL 4 features if available), create the database
if need be, create the empty tables, and grant user privs if given
the root pass. This creates a usable empty wiki.
TODO:
* Populate main page and stub log pages
* Create sysop account
* Populate MediaWiki namespace for selected language
* Better error checking
* Option for InnoDB tables?
* Other useful options like uploads and TeX (shudder)
* Support scripts still need to be checked for security.
Also fixed a minor bug in Database::tableExists which ran into infinite
loops if no tables were present, and made Database::selectDB modify
the right member variable.
To get around some problems induced by the new parser stuff, User
won't loadFromDatabase() if we're in CommandLineMode, since it ends
up trying to do so before we've set up the database and fails.
