** 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
Automatic or manual collapsing and expanding of long pages.
Pages can be collapsed automatically according to a size threshold
set in the user preferences. Pages can be collapsed manually by clicking
the "Collapse" link in the TOC.
When a page is collapsed, only the intro & TOC are displayed. The
individual TOC lines link to section views, which can be individually edited
(classic section editing).
Section editing/viewing behavior has also been improved. When a section
with subsections is viewed or edited, all subsections are also loaded.
Known issues:
- After saving a section, we return to the full article view
rather than the section view, even if we previously were in section view
mode.
- Should work with Standard and Monobook, not tested with Cologne Blue yet.
- In Monobook, no backlink to the mother article is shown during section
viewing (Gabriel, can you fix that?)
* Add 'pagetitle' message to customize the HTML page title format (eg, "$1 - Wikipedia Encyclopedia")
* Some XHTML fixes to Nostalgia skin, prefs
* Removing the unfinished Smarty skins, renamed Standard to Classic
* Remove "gnunote" message in favor of general "copyright" msg, which is filled with the link & name in $wgRightsPage/$wgRightsURL and $wgRightsText
* Support a copyright-related icon as $wgRightsIcon (includes sample gnu-fdl.png)
* Show "Powered by MediaWiki" icon in footer (poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png by Dan Carlson)
on the Creative Commons and Dublin Core links so they can be identified by
humans in Mozilla's navigation bar. Add a <link rel='copyright'> as well if
$wgRightsPage or $wgRightsUrl is set. Fix metadata links for MonoBook.
Disable Smarty skins.
If these features are turned on (with global flags), a metadata link tag is
provided to the appropriate action ('dublincore' or 'creativecommons'). When
the wiki script receives these actions, it creates RDF files on the fly.
Also includes two valuable general functions: one to show an HTTP error
(used when the flags are turned off), and one to do content negotiation
(used to determine the MIME type for RDF files).
A helper function is also added to page output to display metadata links.
print command on a regular page will actually use the print stylesheet.
Explicitly following the printable link will also show the printable view
on screen.
CAVEATS: IE/Win may oversimplify the link style in what should be colored
or underlined text. Page title is not shown in Nostalgia skin printable
view. Part of the footer is duplicated in the output and will be visible in a styleless
user agent (lynx, really old Netscape, etc). Some render options aren't
totally handled right for printable, such as ? brokenlinks.
Also, section edit links are now available in diff view if the dest rev is
the current revision.
Some misc code clean-up and formatting as well.
* 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
practical, clear methods:
Title::getLocalURL() - "/wiki/index.php/Foobar" or "/wiki/index.php?title=Foobar&action=edit"
Title::getFullUrl() - ditto with $wgServer on the front
Title::getInternalUrl() - ditto with $wgInternalServer on the front (for some squid-related functions)
Title::escapeLocalUrl() - local URL escaped for HTML output
Title::escapeFullUrl() - full URL escaped for HTML output
All take an optional query parameter.
Title::getURL(), wfFullUrl() and wfFullUrlE() are now officially
deprecated and will result in instant death. wfLocalUrl() and wfLocalUrlE()
will be killed shortly; they are still used in the language files.
