* Full rewrite of the WikiImporter class to a new class, XMLDumpImporter, which uses XMLReader instead of the deprecated PHP SAX interface.
* Fixes for the following bugs:
** XML Dump Processor chokes on unrecognised tags.
** Special:Import does not allow you to import a dump including only log entries.
* Added hooks to allow extensions to handle tags in any part of the XML document.
* Fully source-compatible with the previous interface.
Updated all nextSequenceValue calls with new sequence names.
OverlordQ stated he'll handle changes to Postgres scripts.
Need someone to change DB2 scripts.
* r41081 was causing the job queue to be flooded with tiny htmlCacheUpdate jobs which were less than the batch size and so, according to the original logic, should have been done immediately. This was causing template updates to be delayed even when the template has few backlinks. This is fixed.
* Introduced a shared cache called BacklinkCache with the main purpose of sharing data from these backlink queries, thus recovering the performance of r41081.
* Refactored backlink partitioning code, which in r40741 was copied from HTMLCacheUpdate to LinksUpdate with a bug intact. The bug caused every htmlCacheUpdate or refreshLinks2 job to be split into at least two pieces even when number of rows is less than the batch size.
* Fixed a bug from r40741 causing refreshLinks2 jobs with end=false to be ignored.
* Made SquidUpdate::newFromTitles() accept a TitleArray
Fatal error: Call to a member function insertOn() on a non-object in /Library/WebServer/Documents/trunk/includes/specials/SpecialImport.php on line 305
Now such titles are skipped. You can probably force import of the page by forcing the target namespace...
Better long-term solution might include title renormalization, adapation of remote namespace names (eg Wikipedia -> Project), etc.
* Temporarily set $wgTitle while doing article creation/edit updates during XML import. A null $wgTitle as in importDump.php caused a fatal error when special pages were transcluded if they did any parsing via OutputPage::parse()
