* Move and rename to SpecialBlockList
* Use an HTMLForm in GET mode for the options form
* Use TablePager to organise the results more nicely
* Standardise the filtration for IPs and IP ranges, so looking at blocks for a range will now also show rangeblocks which contain the range
* General tidy up
* Move to SpecialBlock.php, and rename class appropriately
* Complete refactor
* Use HTMLForm in block form. This changes most of the ids and field names on the form, but allows proper validation, nicer formatting, clears up several fixmes, and is generally Better(TM).
* Spin various parts out into static functions, several of which properly belong in the backend (but Block.php is a worse mess still)
* Invert some of the block options so that every checkbox makes the block more severe (so "check to disable email" is fine, but "check to allow usertalk edit" (default true) is inverted to "check to disable usertalk edit" (default false).
* revert r40359 (move doMassUserBlock() to core). No one seems to be using this function, which has nothing to do with the frontend UI in SpecialBlock (it might perhaps belong in Block.php); it is pretty bespoke for CheckUser, doesn't seem to have very much utility elsewhere.
Further changes:
* Added Status::getErrorsByType() which returns the internal error array untouched
* Added ApiResult::convertStatusToArray() which converts a Status object to something useful for the Api
* Moved the global functions to GlobalFunctions.php, where they are now just convenience wrappers. Made them return non-references. Updated callers (none found in extensions).
* Added an advanced configuration method, $wgObjectCaches, which allows a lot more detail in the object cache configuration than $wgMainCacheType.
* Made all object cache classes derive from BagOStuff.
* Split the MWMemcached class into a generic client class and a MediaWiki-specific wrapper class. The wrapper class presents a simple BagOStuff interface to calling code, hiding memcached client internals, and will simplify the task of supporting the PECL extension.
* Added some extra constructor parameters to MWMemcached, configurable via $wgObjectCaches.
* Removed the *_multi() methods from BagOStuff, my grepping indicates that they are not used.
* Rewrote FakeMemCachedClient as a BagOStuff subclass, called EmptyBagOStuff.
* Added an optional "server" parameter to SQLBagOStuff. This allows the server holding the objectcache table to be different from the server holding the core DB.
* Added MultiWriteBagOStuff: a cache class which writes to multiple locations, and reads from them in a defined fallback sequence. This can be used to extend the cache space by adding disk-backed storage to existing in-memory caches.
* Made MWMemcached::get() return false on failure instead of null, to match the BagOStuff documentation and the other BagOStuff subclasses. Anything that was relying on it returning null would have already been broken with SqlBagOStuff.
* Fixed a bug in the memcached client causing keys with spaces or line breaks in them to break the memcached protocol, injecting arbitrary commands or parameters. Since the PECL client apparently also has this flaw, I implemented the fix in the wrapper class.
* Renamed BagOStuff::set_debug() to setDebug(), since we aren't emulating the memcached client anymore
* Fixed spelling error in MWMemcached: persistant -> persistent
* Removed the ZIP subtypes from $wgMimeTypeBlacklist, they no longer need to be there.
* Added ZipDirectoryReader. Added some small ZIP files which are used to test its various error cases. Most were constructed with a hex editor.
* Fixed getStatusArray() to return a consistent type regardless of whether the error message has parameters. This allows error messages with no parameters to work with the Status object conversion code in UploadBase::verifyFile().
* It was not necessary to preserve the $stripState->general->setPair() interface since it wasn't used by any extensions.
* Moved StripState to its own file.
* Refactored serialiseHalfParsedText() and unserialiseHalfParsedText() so that the bulk of the functionality is in the relevant modules, instead of using scary direct access to object member variables. Made it support the new StripState. It seemed like a lot of work to go to to support an "emergency optimisation" feature in Cite. Cite updates will be in a subsequent commit.
* Fixed spelling of serialiseHalfParsedText() and unserialiseHalfParsedText(), there is unavoidable interface breakage anyway, due to cache object versioning.
* Moved transparent tags to their own function, as requested in a fixme comment.
* Added documentation for markerSkipCallback().
* Removed OnlyIncludeReplacer, unused since MW 1.12.
* Fixed a bug causing the engine and charset settings to not be properly preserved when adding new tables on upgrade.
* Fixed total breakage of SQLite upgrade, by reusing the administrative connection to the SQLite database instead of creating a new one when wfGetDB() is called. Added LBFactory_Single to support this.
* Introduced a "schema variable" concept to DatabaseBase to avoid the use of globals for communication between the installer and the Database. Removed a lot of old global variable names from Database::replaceVars(), most were only added on a whim and were never used.
* Introduced DatabaseInstaller::getSchemaVars(), to allow schema variables to be supplied by the DatabaseInstaller child classes.
* Removed messages config-mysql-egine-mismatch [sic] and config-mysql-charset-mismatch. In the old installer it was possible for users to request a certain character set for an upgrade, but in the new installer the question is never asked. So these warnings were shown whenever a non-default character set or engine was used in the old database.
* In MysqlInstaller::preUpgrade(), fixed the incorrect strings used to identify the MySQL character sets: mysql5 instead of utf8 and mysql5-binary instead of binary.
* On install, initialise the site_stats table, using code copied from the old installer. Unlike the old installer, use SiteStats to increment the user count when the initial user is added.
* Fixed several instances of inappropriate call-by-reference.
* Replaced call_user_func_array() with call_user_func() where possible, it is shorter and simpler.
* Moved the caching boilerplate for DatabaseInstaller::getConnection() to the base class, and have the derived classes override an uncached function openConnection() instead. Updates r80892.
* In MysqlInstaller::getLocalSettings(), escape PHP strings correctly with LocalSettingsGenerator::escapePhpString().
* Reduce timeout for checks in dirIsExecutable() to 3 seconds, so that it doesn't take 30s to run when apache is in single-threaded mode for debugging.
* MySQL and SQLite have been tested and they appear to work. PostgreSQL upgrade is totally broken, apparently it was like that before I started. The Oracle code is untested.
* Added a maintenance script which generates a list of first letters. Unified Han are omitted for performance, and because they shouldn't be used as headings anyway. A future collation specific to Chinese would provide the KangXi radicals as "first letters".
* Provided a precomputed list of first letters. Used Unicode 6.0.0 data and ICU 4.2.
* Moved collation functionality from Language to a Collation class hierarchy with factory function. Removed the recently-added methods from Language and updated all callers.
* Changed Title::getCategorySortkey() to separate its parts with a line break instead of a null character. All collations supported by the intl extension ignore the null character, i.e. "ab" == "a\0b". It would have required a lot of hacking to make it work.
* Fixed the uppercase collation to handle non-ASCII characters, redundantly with r80436. I don't think it's necessary to change the collation name as was done there, so I reverted that in the course of my conflict merge. A --force option to updateCollation.php might be nice though.
It's arguable whether the code is cleaner either way, and adding all this code for the (relatively few) places we do file listings just isn't worth it.
* QueryPage now uses array-based query building instead of raw SQL
* Converted all QueryPage-based special pages that were using old-style wfSpecialFoo functions to new-style SpecialPage subclasses; this is possible because QueryPage is changed to extend SpecialPage
* Backward compatibility for extensions is partly preserved: getSQL() is fallen back on for QueryPage subclasses that don't implement getQueryInfo(), but getOrder() will be ignored (implement getOrderFields() instead). This also means that dual compatibility (1.18 compat and b/c with pre-1.18) is trivial
Extension changes will be merged after this commit.
These changes make it easier to write an API module for QueryPages (bug 14869); this wasn't done in the branch but will be done in trunk soon.
