* Put MemCachedClientforWiki in memcached-client.php so that maintenance/mctest.php doesn't crash when $wgMainCacheType is not CACHE_MEMCACHED
Based on a patch by Kim Hyun-Joon
* In SqlBagOStuff, ignore errors due to a read-only database, per my comments on CR r42796. Same for LocalisationCache.
* Merged SqlBagOStuff and MediaWikiBagOStuff, that proved to be an awkward and unnecessary generalisation. Use the standard quoting wrapper functions instead of $db->query().
* Implemented atomic incr() and decr() functions for SqlBagOStuff.
* Made incr() and decr() generally work roughly the same as it does in memcached, respecting negative steps instead of ignoring such operations. This allows decr() to be implemented in terms of incr().
* Per bug 11533, in MessageCache.php, don't retry 20 times on a cache failure, that's really memcached-specific and won't be useful for other cache types. It's not really very useful for memcached either.
* Moved MySQL-specific implementations of wasDeadlock() and wasErrorReissuable() to DatabaseMysql.
* Briefly tested page views with $wgReadOnly=read_only=1, fixed an error from Article::viewUpdates(). A CentralAuth fix will be in a subsequent commit.
Doxygen documentation update:
* Changed alls @addtogroup to @ingroup. @addtogroup adds the comment to the group description, but doesn't add the file, class, function, ... to the group like @ingroup does. See for example http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/group__SpecialPage.html where it's impossible to see related files, classes, ... that should belong to that group.
* Added @file to file description, it seems that it should be explicitely decalred for file descriptions, otherwise doxygen will think that the comment document the first class, variabled, function, ... that is in that file.
* Removed some empty comments
* Removed some ?>
Added following groups:
* ExternalStorage
* JobQueue
* MaintenanceLanguage
One more thing: there are still a lot of warnings when generating the doc.
* Deleted DatabaseMysql.php, no longer necessary, database classes are autoloaded.
* Moved wfGetMimeMagic() to MimeMagic::singleton()
* Fixed a couple of __CLASS__.'::'.__FUNCTION__ things.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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
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.
