* Allow configuration of the default limit and days links with the variables $wgRCLinkLimits and $wgRCLinkDays.
* When selecting a limit and a days on the special pages, if you use a number not within the default list it will be added to the display.
** The selected limit and days is bolded. (This can be considered the first step for bug 3327)
* Optional other configuration option $wgRCFilterByAge, when enabled the list of days will be filtered so that only links within what $wgRCMaxAge says will be stored in the database will be displayed. Note that this is disabled by default because MediaWiki doesn't quite seam to trim out old entries as quickly as $wgRCMaxAge says it should be and some people appear to use the extra 30days links to display older entries even though $wgRCMaxAge is set to 7days on said wiki.
This should also solve bug 9257.
* Wrote two concrete implementations. LBFactory_Simple is for general installations. LBFactory_Multi will replace the runtime configuration used on Wikimedia and allow load-balanced connections to any DB.
* Ported Special:Userrights, CentralAuth and OAI audit to the LBFactory system.
* Added ForeignDBViaLBRepo, a file repository which uses LBFactory.
* Removed $wgLoadBalancer and $wgAlternateMaster
* Improved the query group concept to allow failover and lag control
* Improved getReaderIndex(), it will now try all servers before waiting, instead of waiting after each.
* Removed the $fail parameter to getConnection(), obsolete.
* Removed the useless force() function.
* Abstracted the replication position interface to allow for future non-MySQL support.
* Rearranged Database.php. Added a few debugging features.
* Removed ancient benet-specific hack from waitForSlave.php
* Made it possible to configure the parser class being used, via $wgParserConf.
* Moved defines from the top of Parser.php to either class constants or Defines.php
* Added Parser_DiffTest, a differential parser class for regression testing
* Added Parser_OldPP, a parser class which operates like the parser before this commit. I made one breaking change: a bugfix to avoid losing whitespace when adding MWTEMPLATESECTION markers.
* Made internal tidy work with PHP 5
* Added the ability to supply a hook for template fetching via ParserOptions. This is handy for testing.
* Updated parserTests.txt to account for the various breaking changes I made. Removed a few parser tests that no longer test for anything useful.
*Allow blocking of users to hide names
*Implement revision deletion for images/deleted files/deleted revs
*Log deletion set off for now
*Add 'hidden' file dir
*Dissallow merging via undelete (which was inefficient and hard to reverse)
*Use restore points and diffs to special:undelete
*Add a special page to merge pages
*Get changeslist to use tables to avoid ugly formatting
*Add logs into RC for rebuildrecentchanges.php
*Add private logs
*List private logs at specialpages
*Tweak/add some deletion and merge messages
* Ported file delete/restore to the filerepo framework. Some user-visible changes in error reporting.
* $wgSaveDeletedFiles has been removed, the feature is now enabled unconditionally. Added a "deleted" directory for the default location, protected by a .htaccess file and the practical obscurity of content hashes.
* Fixed bug 2735: "Preview" shown in title bar for action=submit on special pages
* Removed "restore" links from the deletion log embedded in Special:Undelete
* Added img_sha1/oi_sha1 fields, preserved through upload, delete and restore
* Referenced the new oi_metadata etc. fields to preserve metadata across upload and delete/restore.
* Rename 'licence' to 'license' for consistency with the rest of the code.
* The preview code was assuming simple templates with no parameters and no subst:s, which failed on most of the selections used now on Commons. Now doing a full pre-save transform and parse on {{$license}}, just as will be done on the final save.
* When selecting 'None' again after another option, the preview pane is now cleared.
A fun 'todo' might be to also pass the currently selected filename, if any, to the license preview. Some of the templates in use attempt to use the current-page-name variables to include a self-link. At the moment using a hardcoded 'Image:Sample.jpg' for the virtual title on the preview rendering.
* Added support for static member functions as AJAX callbacks.
* Moved all upload-related javascript to upload.js.
* Needs artwork, see TODO in upload.js.
* Removed UploadForm::showSuccess() as per wikitech-l discussion. Redirect to description page unconditionally.
* Added support for configuration of an arbitrary number of commons-style file repositories.
* Split Image.php into filerepo/File.php and filerepo/LocalFile.php
* Renamed Image::getImagePath() to File::getPath()
* Added initial support for timestamp-based file fetching (OldLocalFile), to be expanded upon by aaron.
* Changed the interface for Image/File object creation: use wfFindFile() or wfLocalFile() depending on semantics
* ImageGallery::add() now accepts a title object as the first parameter
* Moved file handling operations on upload from SpecialUpload to File
* Removed path-related functions from ImageFunctions.php. Removed static path accessors from File.
* Added a Content-Disposition header to thumb.php output
* Improved thumb.php error handling
* Updated the unit test suite to kind of partially work with modern computers. RunTests.php doesn't work just yet. Fixed an actual regression that the test suite detected -- moved some defines to Defines.php where they will be loaded consistently.
Cleaned up the new URL parsing code a bit, now able to recognize both $wgActionPaths and $wgVariantArticlePath and interpolate those variables.
Moved that bit into WebRequest::interpolateTitle() function which is called after $wgContLang stub object is created, so it can be used to get the variant list.
I'm not totally happy with all this code, but it works. The variant bits generally creep me out.
Caches for wikis with table prefixes will be lost on upgrade, caches for wikis without table prefixes will be preserved. Custom cache keys in extensions can be migrated at leisure. Extensions which write to core cache keys should be migrated ASAP, as I have done with Special:Makesysop.
* 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.
* Made autoloader work for unserialize()
* Made XmlFunctions.php and HttpFunctions.php autoloadable modules, via Http:: and Xml::
* Made Image class autoloadable, global functions moved to ImageFunctions.php where they can be loaded on every invocation.
* Removed some unnecessary require_once() calls
* Deferred $wgValidSkinNames initialisation
* Fixed a couple of silly construct/initialise splits. My idea from C++ experience, bad practice in PHP.
* Deferred skin initialisation in ParserOptions
* Removed $wgMwRedir during an attempt to make MagicWord autoloadable. Didn't complete that, but removing the global is still the right direction.
* remove require_once() throughout whole code, yet left in few places
* move global functions in HttpUtils, ProxyTools, Credits to class methods
* php5 only: __autoload() now used, combined with class->file map and require()
* move initialization of $wgValidSkinNames to Skin::getSkinNames()
* few more changes that will surely break stuff.
* including code from DefaultSettings is a no-no
* no release-notes entries for major changes?
* not following code formatting standards
* serial version numbers probably not reliable
* HEAD is our production code; maybe try this separately first?
Can create/upgrade database tables for MediaWiki and extensions based on internal version management.
For HOWTO see the beginning of include/Upgrader.php
* allow specifying different profiler types
* add ProfilerSimple (that for now just builds in-memory profiling structure,
may be extended to write it somewhere)
* Squid purged defered to outside the db transaction
* Partial redirect goodies
* Compression threadhold on memcached
* setproctitle
* Some other tweaks
The MediaWiki:Sitenotice hack as currently written forces message cache initiali
zation early in Setup.php. This adds up to 30% to the runtime on raw page views
and cache hits where no skin output has to be made, and dynamic CSS means we've got a fair amount of raw page views.

user ban, etc.). Framework is in place; hooks are not yet in place
in the mainline code.
and enable it by default. This provides significant speedups on medium
to long pages, though for busier sites the garbage collection probably
should be adjusted.
to select for the user interface. If this is left at the default empty
array the selection is disabled.
Currently the language selection is broken and will fail for many
cases, using bogus namespaces and probably corrupting your database
with bogus links, search index updates, and more.
** Database constructor calling sequence, and Database::newFromParams()
** Including flags in the server initialisation structs
** Support for setting appropriate flags from legacy globals in Setup.php
** Moved some defines to Define.php so that they can be used in LocalSettings.php, most importantly the bit field constants
* Changes related to post-parse link colouring
** Turn the link cache back on when using it for updating the links table
** No longer need to call preFill() on page view
* Better synchronisation of slave servers
** Rearranged getConnection()
** System for beginning and committing transactions when multiple connections are open
** wfAbruptExit() commits transactions, wfErrorExit() does not. Various functions changed to use wfErrorAbort()
* Allowed reporting of database errors during deferred updates by moving them above output()
* 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
For compatibility with existing installations, a latin-1 proxy language
module can be activated by setting $wgUseLatin1 = true; which will convert
messages to Latin-1 and use the Latin-1 support code as necessary.
* Moving common special page handling to SpecialPage.php
* Special page lists in the language classes are obsolete, replaced by the list in SpecialPage.php
* Special:Specialpages uses the standard page titles wfMsg(pagename) instead of the description list previously contained in the $wgSpecialPagesEn arrays
* Ability to add custom messages to the MessageCache. Overridable by the MediaWiki namespace.
* Moving board vote functionality from includes/SpecialBoardvote.php to extensions/BoardVote.php
disabled via disable_functions in php.ini (bug #928168)
The PHPTal skin doesn't function unless the PEAR bits are in include_path,
so it's disabled if ini_set can't be used. If the files are manually placed
or a real PEAR installation is available with the right stuff, one can
use $wgUsePHPTal = true;
There are likely other things that need to be taken into account for
restricted environments. Maintenance scripts haven't been tweaked for
such an environment yet either.
available. Currently using for the message cache to avoid reading
every message separately. This now is only slightly slower than
memcached in my tests when $wgUseDatabaseMessages is enabled, so
it's a bit of a speedup for common hosts.
Can select no metadata, GNU FDL, or Creative Commons, which sends off
to the CC remote license engine to pick one.
Not fully tested. CC is returning the wrong icon URL except for public
domain right now. Going out to CC and back loses all other options from
the form.
* Split MediaWiki namespace into MediaWiki and Template (requires changes to all language files)
* Purge links to on edit of Template namespace
* General refactoring of purging and cache invalidation code
object to encapsulate the handling of get/post variables:
The following grab something out of $_REQUEST. The first parameter is the
variable name and is required. The second is an optional default value:
$wgRequest->getVal() - any type, returns NULL if no default given
$wgRequest->getInt() - forced integer, 0 default
$wgRequest->getText() - runs through $wgLang->recodeInput()
$wgRequest->getBool() - return true/false
$wgRequest->getCheck() - returns true if the var is set, even if to ""
$wgRequest strips slashes at initialization if necessary.
Also in this fine object:
$wgRequest->wasPosted() - returns false if this wasn't a real form post,
so we can protect against faked submissions in get urls.
There's still plenty of work to do, not everything uses the new functions
yet. To test the strict mode, do define('DEBUG_GLOBALS', 1);
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...
* Converted many instances of globals from the query to $_REQUEST
* Renamed near-useless Title::getURL() to Title::getPartialURL()
* Created new Title::getURL(), to replace wfLocalUrl, wfLocalUrlE, wfFullUrl and wfFullUrlE. Replaced most instances throughout the code
* In Parser.php, generalised stripping of <nowiki>, <pre> and <math> to allow more general use such as nesting
* Moved body of Article::preSaveTransform to Parser.php
* Put lots of comments in Title.php
