instantiate a variable-length constructor in php 5.1.3 and up, and falls
back to the old, ugly, manual method that was in the old wfCreateObject
function. The instances in the core have been replaced.
sed -i 's/$wgContLanguageCode/$wgLanguageCode/g'
These are now the same, always. Per and since r15827.
$wgLanguageCode wins due to being the one set by LocalSettings.
$wgContLanguageCode definition at includes/Setup.php kept for now.
In CentralAuth (and related changes interface changes in Newuserlog and the core):
* Moved the AutoAuthenticate hook to User::loadFromSession(), to defer processing for longer and avoid unstub loops
* Undeprecated User::setID()
* Added partial support for new user log registration and IP-based blocking of automatically created accounts. Still needs the same support implemented in Special:Userlogin.
* Fixed all inappropriate uses of the term "DB name", changing them to "wiki" or "wiki ID". Renamed the relevant database fields.
* Refactored central session and cache support
* Made lines from initialiseMessages() appear as list items during installation
* Moved the bulk of the localisation data from the Language*.php files to the Messages*.php files. Deleted most of the Languages*.php files.
* Introduced "stub global" framework to provide deferred initialisation of core modules.
* Removed placeholder values for $wgTitle and $wgArticle, these variables will now be null during the initialisation process, until they are set by index.php or another entry point.
* Added DBA cache type, for BDB-style caches.
* Removed custom date format functions, replacing them with a format string in the style of PHP's date(). Used string identifiers instead of integer identifiers, in both the language files and user preferences. Migration should be transparent in most cases.
* Simplified the initialisation API for LoadBalancer objects.
* Removed the broken altencoding feature.
* Moved default user options and toggles from Language to User. Language objects are still able to define default preference overrides and extra user toggles, via a slightly different interface.
* Don't include the date option in the parser cache rendering hash unless $wgUseDynamicDates is enabled.
* Merged LanguageUtf8 with Language. Removed LanguageUtf8.php.
* Removed inclusion of language files from the bottom of Language.php. This is now consistently done from Language::factory().
* Add the name of the executing maintenance script to the debug log. Start the profiler during maintenance scripts.
* Added "serialized" directory, for storing precompiled data in serialized form.
