Change notes from older releases. For current info see RELEASE-NOTES.
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.10 ==
|
|
|
|
This is the Spring 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
|
|
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
|
|
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
|
|
|
|
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
|
|
from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
|
|
will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
|
|
|
|
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
|
|
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
|
|
|
|
== Configuration changes ==
|
|
|
|
* A new switch $wgCommandLineDarkBg used by maintenance scripts (parserTests.php).
|
|
It lets you specify if your terminal use a dark background, the colorized
|
|
output will be made lighter making things easier to read.
|
|
* The minimum permissions needed to edit a page in each namespace can now be
|
|
customized via the $wgNamespaceProtection array. By default, editing pages in
|
|
the MediaWiki namespace requires "editinterface" permission, as before.
|
|
* Allow restriction of autoconfirmed permission by edit count. New global setting
|
|
$wgAutoConfirmCount (defaulting to zero, naturally).
|
|
* Added rate limiter for Special:Emailuser
|
|
* Private logs can now be created using $wgLogRestrictions
|
|
* (Bug 8590) limited HTML is now always enabled ($wgUserHtml = true).
|
|
* Deprecated $wgUseImageResize, thumbnailing will be enabled unconditionally.
|
|
|
|
== New features since 1.9 ==
|
|
|
|
* (bug 6937) Introduce "statistics-footer" message, appended to
|
|
Special:Statistics
|
|
* (bug 6638) List block flags in block log entries
|
|
* (bugs 5051, 5376) Tooltips and accesskeys no longer require JavaScript
|
|
* Added SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec hook before SkinTemplate::outputPage()
|
|
starts page output
|
|
(http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2007-January/028554.html)
|
|
* Introduce "cascading protection" -- implicit protection on pages transcluded
|
|
into a page protected with this option enabled
|
|
* (bug 8567) Added hook RawPageViewBeforeOutput just before the text is blown
|
|
out in action=raw, so extensions might influence the output.
|
|
* (bug 3446) Add user preference to hide page content below diffs, can be
|
|
overridden by adding diffonly=1 or diffonly=0 to the URL of the diff page
|
|
* Add 'purge' privilege to replace the hardcoded check for login state in
|
|
determining whether action=purge can be done via GET. Switching the
|
|
permission on for anons can be helpful for benchmarking.
|
|
* (bug 7842) Link back to deleted revision list from deleted revision preview
|
|
* (bug 8619) Add user-aware "unblock" link to Special:Blockip
|

|
|
and their protection status (full protection status is not pulled out due
|
|
to performance considerations, so it just shows "full protected" or
|
|
"semi protected".
|
|
* (bug 4133) Allow page protections to be made with an expiry date, in the same
|
|
format as block expiry dates. Existing protections are assumed to be infinite,
|
|
as are protections made with the new field left blank.

|
|

|
|

|
|
and such are used.
|
|
* Add 'charset' to Content-Type headers on various HTTP error responses
|
|
to forestall additional UTF-7-autodetect XSS issues. PHP sends only
|
|
'text/html' by default when the script didn't specify more details,
|
|
which some inconsiderate browsers consider a license to autodetect
|
|
the deadly, hard-to-escape UTF-7.
|
|
This fixes an issue with the Ajax interface error message on MSIE when
|
|
$wgUseAjax is enabled (not default configuration); this UTF-7 variant
|
|
on a previously fixed attack vector was discovered by Moshe BA from BugSec:
|
|
http://www.bugsec.com/articles.php?Security=24
|
|
* Trackback responses now specify XML content type
|
|
* (bug 9044) Send a comment with action=raw pages in CSS/JS output mode

|
== Compatibility ==
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.10 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
|
|
|
|
PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
|
|
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
|
|
Upgrade affected systems to PHP 5.1 or higher.
|
|
|
|
MySQL 3.23.x is no longer supported; some older hosts may need to upgrade.
|
|
At this time we still recommend 4.0, but 4.1/5.0 will work fine in most cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Upgrading ==
|
|
|
|
1.10 has several database changes since 1.9, and will not work without schema
|
|
updates.
|
|
|
|
If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
|
|
new database fields are filled with data.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
|
|
changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
|
|
break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
|
|
|
|
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
|
|
|
|
= MediaWiki release notes =
|
|
|
|
Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
|
|
setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.

|
|
* (bug 7946) importTextFile.php doesn't perform pre-save transform
|
|
* (bug 8117) {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} showed weird default if $wgLocalTZoffset set;
|
|
now uses current time for previews and if timestamp can't be loaded from DB
|
|
* {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} now uses site local timezone instead of user timezone
|

|
|

|
|
the text lengths before and after the edit
|
|
* (bug 1085) Made Special:Recentchanges show the character difference between the changed revisions
|
|
* Removed a redundant <strong> tag from diff pages that was causing display issues for some users
|
|
* (bug 8203) The keyboard shortcut for "log out" was removed, because users were pressing it
|
|
when they intended to press the shortcut for "preview".
|
|
* (bug 8148) Handle non-removable output buffers gracefully when cleaning
|
|
buffers for HTTP 304 responses, StreamFile, and Special:Export.
|
|
Duplicated code merged into wfResetOutputBuffers() and wfClearOutputBuffers()
|
|

|
|

|
|
* (bug 4673) Special:AllPages : add a 'previous' link (new message 'prevpage')
|
|
* (bug 8121) wfRandom() was not between 0 and 1
|
|
* Add static method Parser::createAssocArgs($args), so parser functions can
|
|
use the same code to parse arguments as the templates do.
|
|
* Change behavior of logins using the temporary e-mailed password (as stored
|
|
in user_newpassword hash field). Instead of just logging in silently and
|
|
leaving the previous user_password field in place indefinitely, the user
|
|
is now prompted to set a new password.
|
|
|
|
The password-changing form is at Special:Resetpass; currently it's only
|
|
usable for changing from the temporary password during login, but it
|
|
could perhaps be generalized, replacing the subform in preferences.
|
|
|

Once the new password is set successfully, the temporary password is wiped
|
|
so it cannot be used to login a second time, and the login process
|
|
is completed.
|
|
* Suppress 'mail new password' button on login form if $wgAuth forbids
|
|
changing user passwords; it wouldn't work very well...
|
|
* Consolidate password length checks and $wgAuth manipulation into
|
|
User::setPassword() to avoid duplicate code in different places
|
|
that set passwords.
|
|
* User::setPassword() now throws PasswordError exceptions if the password
|
|
is illegal or cannot be set via $wgAuth. These can be caught and a human-
|
|
readable error message displayed by UI code.
|
|
* Added Title::isSubpage()
|
|
* (bug 8241) Don't consider user pages of User:Foo.css to be CSS subpages
|
|
* Set an explicit class on framed thumbnail inner divs and images, changed some
|
|
CSS to use these instead of using descendent selectors.
|
|
* Accept null parameter to User::setPassword() as indicating the password
|
|
field should be cleared to an unusable state. Login will only be possible
|
|
after the password is reset, for instance by e-mail.
|
|
* (bug 6394) Invalidate the password set for "by e-mail" account creations
|
|
to avoid accidental empty password creations.
|
|
* Made the show change size function work on page moves, page creations, and
|
|
log entries. Also fixed it in the javascript recentchanges.
|
|
* (bug 8239) correctly get 50 new contributions when clicking '(50 next)'
|
|
* (bug 2259) Fix old regression where e-mail addresses were no longer
|
|
confirmed on login with mailed password.
|
|
* Add a notification about the confirmation mail sent during account
|
|
creation, so people don't immediately go off to request a second one.
|
|
* Add a warning on Special:Confirmemail if a code was already sent and has
|
|
not yet expired.
|
|
* Add user_editcount field to provide data for heuristics on account use.
|
|
Incremented on edit, with lazy initialization from past revision data.
|
|
Can batch-initialize with maintenance/initEditCount.php (not yet friendly
|
|
to replication environments, this will do all accounts in one query).
|
|
* Allow raw SQL subsections in Database::update() SET portion as well as
|
|
for WHERE portion. Handy for increments and such.
|
|
* User::getOption now accept a default value to override default user values
|
|
this makes it consistent with WebRequest::get* methods. Corrected code in
|
|
various places accordingly.
|
|
* (bug 8264) Fix JavaScript global vars for XHTML mode
|
|
* Make $wgSiteNotice value wikitext again, for consistency with editable
|
|
MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice.
|
|
* (bug 8044) When redirecting from the canonical name of the special page
|
|
to the localised one, parameters/subpages are omitted
|
|
* (bug 8164) Special:Booksources should use GET for form submission
|
|
* Rewrite Special:Booksources to clean up interface and remove redundant code
|
|
* (bug 7925) Change Special:Allmessages message name filter javascript to be
|
|
a bit more responsive and easier on the CPU
|
|
* (bug 4488) Support watching pages on deletion; introduces new user preference
|
|
* Minor restructuring of Special:Preferences; "watch pages I edit" and "watch
|
|
pages I create" options now accessible under "Watchlist" options
|
|
* (bug 8153) <nowiki> doesn't work in site notice
|
|
* (bug 6690) wfMsgNoTrans() transforms messages
|
|
* (bug 8274) Wrap edit tools in a <div> with a specified class
|
|
* Detect PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug and abort in WebStart.php; too many things break
|
|
mysteriously otherwise (detection code copied from install-utils.inc)
|
|
* (bug 8295) Change handling of <center> tags in doBlockLevels() to match that
|
|
of <div>
|
|
* (bug 8110) Make magic ISBN linking stricter: only match ten-digit sequences
|
|
(plus optional ISBN-13 prefix) with no immediately following alphanumeric
|
|
character, disallow multiple consecutive internal redirects
|
|
* (bug 2785) Accept optional colon prefix in links when formatting comments
|
|
* Don't show "you can view and copy the source of this page" message for
|
|
pages which don't exist
|
|
* (bug 8310) Blank line added to top of 'post' when page is blank
|
|
* (bug 8109) Template parameters ignored in "recentchangestext"
|
|
* Gracefully skip redirect-to-fragment on WebKit versions less than 420;
|
|
it messes up on current versions of Safari but is ok in the latest
|
|
nightlies. Checking the version number will allow it to automatically
|
|
work when new releases of Safari appear.
|
|
* Fix regression in thumb styles; size and padding didn't match with
|
|
new arrangement.
|
|
* (bug 8333) Fix quick user data update on login password change on
|
|
replication database setups. User data is now pulled from master
|
|
instead of slave in User::loadFromDatabase, ensuring that it is
|
|
fresh and accurate when read and then saved back into cache.
|
|
This was breaking with the Special:Rename operation which
|
|
automatically logs the user in with the new password after changing
|
|
it; pulling from slave meant the record was often not the updated
|
|
one.
|
|
* (bug 8335) Set image width to the first valid parameter found.
|
|
* (bug 8350) Fix watchlist viewing bug when using Postgres.
|
|
* (bug 6603) When warning about invalid file extensions, output the bit
|
|
of the extension we actually checked
|
|
* (bug 7669) Drop defaults on BLOB/TEXT columns for better compatibility
|
|
with MySQL's strict mode, often enabled by the Windows installer.
|
|
The defaults are ignored anyway when strict mode is off...
|
|
* (bug 7685) Use explicit values for ar_text and ar_flags when deleting,
|
|
for better compatibility with MySQL's strict mode
|
|
* Update default interwiki values to reflect changed location of ursine:
|
|
* (bug 5411) Remove autopatrol preference
|
|
* Users who have the "autopatrol" permission will have their edits marked as
|
|
patrolled automatically
|
|
* Users who do not have the "autopatrol" permission will no longer be able
|
|
to mark their own edits as patrolled
|
|
* Introduce 'PingLimiter' hook; see docs/hooks.txt for more information
|
|
* (bug 532) Tweaked alt text for some interface messages
|
|
* (bug 8231) Gave useful alt text to the main <img> on image pages
|
|
* (bug 371) Remove alt text for "Enlarge" icon on thumbnails
|
|
* Initialize user_editcount to 0 instead of NULL for newly created accounts
|
|
* (bug 3696) Strip LRM and RLM characters from titles to work around the
|
|
problem some people have where titles cut-and-pasted from lists include
|
|
the bidi override characters appended to the lists.
|
|
A more thorough blacklist for forbidden and translatable characters would
|
|
be wise, though, as might a cleaner method for the lists in the first place.
|
|
* Fix regression in email password resets on read-restricted sites
|
|
* Set tabindex on fields in deletion form so you don't have to tab through
|
|
the links in the sitenotice
|
|
* (bug 8271) Show full time and date on viewer for individual deleted
|
|
revisions
|
|
* (bug 8214) Output file size limit and actual file size in appropriate units
|
|
on Special:Upload
|
|
* (bug 8016) Purge objectcache table during upgrade processes - use the --nopurge
|
|
option to prevent this when running maintenance/update.php
|
|
* (bug 7612) Remove superfluous link to Special:Categories from result items
|
|
on Special:Mostcategories
|
|
* {{PLURAL:}} now handles formatted numbers correctly
|
|
* (bug 8331) Added the change size value to watchlists; therefore made
|
|
watchlists use RecentChange::newFromRow() instead of newFromCurRow()
|
|
* (bug 8351) Fix undo for simple reverts
|
|
* (bug 6856) User::clearNotification() does not respect read-only mode
|
|
* (bug 6853) Use a checkbox on the installer form to indicate that a superuser
|
|
account should be used; this is clearer than the old check which relied on
|
|
the password never being an obscure value
|
|
* Remove old unused watchlist cache, which was a leftover from the old schema
|
|
where watchlists were more expensive to generate
|
|
* Minor cosmetic changes to Special:Userrights
|
|
* Added wgCanonicalSpecialPageName to JavaScript variables
|
|
* Fix image deleting when using Postgres.
|
|
* Output both source and destination titles in maintenance/moveBatch.php
|
|
* Added basic parser tests for language variants
|
|
* Enable selflinks and categories to be written in some of the language variants
|
|
* Prevent conversion of JavaScript code in language variants
|
|
* Output software version number in maintenance/parserTests.php
|
|
* (bug 7169) Use Ajax to watch/unwatch articles if enabled
|
|
* Make variant table caching a little more robust, using main language code
|
|
in cache key. Probably this is still a bit wonky, though. Was breaking
|
|
parser tests when Chinese tables were getting loaded into Serbian code.
|
|
* (bug 8380) Be nicer about blank lines in deleteBatch.php
|
|
* (bug 8401) Fix regression in SORBS lookup for some DNS setups
|
|
* Use raw file descriptor in posix_isatty() check to avoid warning on
|
|
Linux systems with at least some versions of PHP
|
|
* (bug 5908) Allow overriding the default category sort key for all items on
|
|
a page using {{DEFAULTSORT}}
|
|
* (bug 6449) Throw a more definitive error message when installation fails
|
|
due to an invalid database name
|
|
* (bug 5827) Use full text for option link labels on Special:Watchlist
|
|
* (bug 8018) Allow hiding minor edits from the watchlist
|
|
* (bug 8427) MonoBook RTL IE 7.0 tweaks failed when sidebar's navigation
|
|
section is renamed; no longer relies on first section name
|
|
* Stabilize client-side table sorting even if the underlying Javascript sort()
|
|
implementation is unstable
|
|
* Add hook for extensions to add user information to the panel in preferences,
|
|
next to the user name and ID.
|
|
* (bug 8392) Display protection status of transcluded pages in the edit page
|
|
template list. Patch by Fyren, with i18n naming tweak.
|
|
* Fix for interwiki transclusion where target wiki uses query string for title
|
|
* Resolve namespaces on interwiki Title objects using canonical namespace names
|
|
if possible (should not happen, though, outside interwiki transclusion... and
|
|
maybe not even then, but it does)
|
|
* (bug 8447) Fix SQL typo breaking non-default $wgHitcounterUpdateFreq
|
|
* Do not allow previews of deleted images to be cached
|
|
* Add global variable $wgDefaultLanguageVariant used to set the default language
|
|
variant of a wiki to something different than the main language code
|
|
* Add 'variant' option to parserTests - runs test with the given variant as
|
|
preferred, utilize it for more parser tests of language variants code
|
|
* (bug 6503) Fix bug that stopped certain irrelevant links from being hidden
|
|
for printing
|
|
* Avoid PHP warning in Creative Commons metadata when a creative commons
|
|
license is not actually set up
|
|
* (bug 8463) Don't print external link icons for Monobook
|
|
* (bug 8461) Support watching pages on move
|
|
* (bug 8041) Work around bug with debug_backtrace when Zend Optimizer is
|
|
loaded by skipping the function. Use wfDebugBacktrace() wrapper function.
|
|
* Reduce config file clutter by setting various script and upload paths
|
|
based on $IP or $wgScriptPath in Setup.php. They can still be explicitly
|
|
overridden in LocalSettings.php if desired...
|
|
* Attempt to detect redirect loops for the canonical title redirect, and
|
|
give some hints to the poor confused administrator.
|
|
* Introduce new flag 'R' - raw output for language variant escape tags
|
|
* Advise users when updates for a query page have been disabled using
|
|
$wgDisableQueryPageUpdate
|
|
* (bug 8413) Improve comments for $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies
|
|
* (bug 8330) Show "bytes" suffix on recent changes diff counter
|
|
optionally... if set in rc-changes-size message (default empty for now)
|
|
* (bug 8489) Support basic links in <gallery> caption attribute
|
|
* (bug 8485) Correct Lingala number formatting
|
|
* The MediaWiki namespace is no longer pre-filled with default messages on
|
|
install. All default messages will be removed from the MediaWiki namespace
|
|
on upgrade.
|
|
* Recentchanges RSS/Atom feeds now use a separate message for the description

|
|
* Count deleted edits when regenerating total edits in maintenance/initStats.php
|

|
|

|
== 1.8 Compatibility changes ==
|
|
|
|
=== Zend Optimizer ===
|
|
|
|
A bug in some versions of PHP 5 and Zend Optimizer which was triggered under
|
|
MediaWiki 1.8.x has been worked around by disabling some internal debugging
|
|
features when Zend Optimizer is loaded. This should solve some common
|
|
"blank page" problems.
|
|
|
|
=== PHP 5.0 64-bit ===
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki now checks for a condition where PHP 5.0.x corrupts array data
|
|
on 64-bit systems and warns you to upgrade PHP to solve the problem. This
|
|
bug causes Special: pages to fail on affected systems under MediaWiki 1.8
|
|
and higher, and subtler data corruption on earlier versions.
|
|
|
|
The only known workaround is to upgrade PHP to 5.1 or later, which you
|
|
probably should do anyway for security reasons!
|
|
|
|
=== MySQL 5 ===
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki should now install and run correctly on MySQL 5.0 and higher when
|
|
MySQL's "strict mode" is enabled. (This is now the default for many Windows
|
|
installations, though it seems to remain off by default on Unix.)
|
|
|
|
This fixes errors about "cannot default default value for BLOB/TEXT fields".
|
|
|
|
=== ImageMagick ===
|
|
|
|
Note that ImageMagick older than 6.x may no longer work for image resizing
|
|
due to use of the -thumbnail option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== 1.8 Behavior changes ==
|
|
|
|
=== Localized special pages ===
|
|
|
|
The names of Special: pages can now be localized, so links and URLs to them
|
|
are more legible in languages that aren't English.
|
|
|
|
Not all languages have included localized names yet.
|
|
|
|
=== E-mail password ===
|
|
|
|
Users are now required to set a new password for themselves when they first
|
|
log in with a newly generated e-mailed password.
|
|
|
|
Requesting passwords frequently is prevented to reduce abusive mailbombing.
|
|
|
|
=== Undo revision ===
|
|
|
|
An "undo" link now appears in diff view for easier reverting of older edits.
|
|
When GNU diff3 is available for edit conflict merging, this can make it much
|
|
easier to "undo" the changes of an older edit when there are surrounding
|
|
changes elsewhere in the page.
|
|
|
|
The changes must be manually reviewed and approved, as with conventional
|
|
full-revision reverts.
|
|
|
|
=== Blocking ===
|
|
|
|
User blocks can be set to disable the automatic blocking of IP addresses the
|
|
account logs in with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== 1.8 Database changes ==
|
|
|
|
* new 'redirect' table stores data on page redirects
|
|
* new 'querycachetwo' table used for some cached special pages
|
|
* 'ipblocks' table adds 'ipb_enable_autoblock'
|
|
* 'recentchanges' table adds 'rc_old_len', 'rc_new_len' for size tracking
|
|
* 'user' table has added 'user_newpass_time' and 'user_editcount' fields
|
|
* some indexes have been updated on 'recentchanges'
|
|
|
|
== 1.8 Configuration changes ==
|
|
|
|
Several configuration options have changed since 1.8:
|
|
|
|
=== $wgEnableAPI ===
|
|
|
|
The experimental machine API interface is now enabled by default, read-only.
|
|
You can disable it by setting $wgEnableAPI = false; in LocalSettings.php.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgPathInfo ===
|
|
|
|
The use of PATH_INFO (the text after the script name in 'index.php/Blah')
|
|
is controlled by the $wgUsePathInfo setting. This is now explicitly disabled
|
|
for CGI, apache2filter, and ISAPI configurations of PHP, for more consistency
|
|
with the autodetection from the installer.
|
|
|
|
In some rarer configurations you may have to switch $wgUsePathInfo from false
|
|
to true or, perhaps, from true to false to make things work properly if bad
|
|
PATH_INFO data comes through the server.
|
|
|
|
The wiki now tries to detect this condition and should show you an error
|
|
message describing what to change instead of sending the browser into an
|
|
infinite redirect loop.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgScript and other path settings ===
|
|
|
|
The following configuration variables are now automatically set in Setup.php
|
|
if they are not overridden in LocalSettings.php:
|
|
|
|
from $wgScriptPath:
|
|
+ $wgScript
|
|
| \- $wgArticlePath
|
|
+ $wgRedirectScript
|
|
+ $wgStylePath
|
|
+ $wgUploadPath
|
|
\- $wgLogo
|
|
+ $wgMathPath
|
|
|
|
from $IP:
|
|
- $wgStyleDirectory
|
|
+ $wgUploadDirectory
|
|
\- $wgMathDirectory
|
|
+ $wgTmpDirectory
|
|
|
|
Newly generated configuration files will by default include only $wgScriptPath
|
|
(hardcoded from the installer) and $IP (detected at runtime).
|
|
|
|
Old configuration files which specify all these values explicitly should
|
|
continue to work just fine, but if you use the defaults you can remove them
|
|
to reduce clutter.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgGroupPermissions ===
|
|
|
|
The sysop group now holds the "autopatrol" and "ipblock-exempt" rights by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
"autopatrol" replaces the preference for marking ones own edits patrolled
|
|
by default; users holding this permission will automatically have their
|
|
edits patrolled, while others cannot mark their own edits as patrolled
|
|
even if they have patrolling rights.
|
|
|
|
"ipblock-exempt" excludes the user from IP blocks; accounts which are blocked
|
|
explicitly by name will still be blocked, however. This is given to sysops
|
|
to minimize annoyance from accidental "collateral damage"; remember that a
|
|
sysop will be able to lift the block if they desire.
|
|
|
|
The bot group now holds the "nominornewtalk" right. A user with this right
|
|
will not trigger new message notifications when making minor edits to user
|
|
talk pages. This is meant to minimize annoyance from maintenance bot
|
|
processes.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgUseWatchlistCache ===
|
|
|
|
Watchlist caching has been removed. The feature was not maintained, and has
|
|
been unnecessary since switching to the 'recentchanges' database table
|
|
reduced server pressure for Wikipedia's watchlists.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgBreakFrames ===
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki in the past attempted to detect when it was embedded in a frameset
|
|
and "break out" of it, assuming it to be hostile.
|
|
|
|
This behavior is now disabled by default, but can be reenabled by setting
|
|
$wgBreakFrames to true in LocalSettings.php.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== 1.8 New settings ==
|
|
|
|
=== $wgVariantArticlePath ===
|
|
|
|
For languages with script variant support (Chinese, Serbian, and others),
|
|
it's possible to use alternate URL paths to select the variant for article
|
|
display, setting $wgVariantArticlePath.
|
|
|
|
Documentation for this setting would be useful.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgMaxMsgCacheEntrySize ===
|
|
|
|
The message cache can now skip items larger than a given size; this allows
|
|
it to better handle the primary caching case when large CSS and JS blobs are
|
|
present.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgStyleVersion ===
|
|
|
|
When making significant changes to skin stylesheets and JavaScript files,
|
|
you can append a string to this variable to tweak the generated URLs,
|
|
forcing newly rendered pages to bring in a fresh version despite server-
|
|
or browser-side caching.
|
|
|
|
Normally this will be set in the course of MediaWiki development, but
|
|
if doing development on a custom skin you may wish to poke it as well.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgRCShowChangedSize ===
|
|
|
|
Special:Recentchanges and Special:Watchlist now show the number of bytes
|
|
added or removed to an article to give an idea of the size of the edit.
|
|
This information was previously available only in the IRC update feeds.
|
|
|
|
To disable this site-wide, set $wgRCShowChangedSize to false.
|
|
(Individual users can suppress the data in custom CSS.)
|
|
|
|
Adjust $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold to trigger highlighting of particularly
|
|
large changes.
|
|
|
|
The formatting of the size figure can be adjusted through the
|
|
[[MediaWiki:Rc-change-size]] message.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgQueryCacheLimit ===
|
|
|
|
The number of rows stored for "expensive" special pages in miser mode
|
|
can now be adjusted up or down from the default 1000.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgDisableQueryPageUpdate ===
|
|
|
|
Individual "expensive" special pages can be skipped in processing by
|
|
updateSpecialPages if added to this list.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgSorbsUrl ===
|
|
|
|
The base hostname for the DNS-based proxy blacklist can now be overridden
|
|
when $wgEnableSorbs is set, to use a different blacklist instead of SORBS.
|
|
The blacklist would need to respond the same was as SORBS; any positive
|
|
response will be taken as a proxy.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgAjaxWatch ===
|
|
|
|
Experimental AJAX mode for the watch/unwatch tabs to execute inline.
|
|
Does not include the UI messages describing how to reach the watchlist,
|
|
so you may not want it on a general-audience site just yet.
|
|
|
|
=== $wgParserTestFiles ===
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki's parser test suite can now be expanded with additional test
|
|
files. Custom extensions can add their test files to this array, and
|
|
they will be run along with the main tests by maintenance/parserTests.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Changes since 1.7 ==
|
|
|
|
* Introduced AjaxResponse object, superceding AjaxCachePolicy
|
|
* Changes to sajax_do_call: optionally accept an element to fill instead of a
|
|
callback function; take the target function or element as a third parameter;
|
|
pass the full XMLHttpRequest object to the handler function, instead of just
|
|
the resultText value; use HTTP response codes to report errors.
|
|
* (bug 6562) Removed unmaintained ParserXml.php for now
|
|
* History paging overlap bug fixed
|
|
* (bug 6586) Regression in "unblocked" subtitle
|
|
* Don't put empty-page message into view-source when page text is blank
|
|
* (bug 6587) Remove redundant "allnonarticles" message
|
|
* Block improvements: Allow blocks on anonymous users only. Optionally allow

|
consistently and more safely. A cleaner, one-pass tag strip lets the

|
'outer' tag either take source (<nowiki>-style) or pass it down to

|
|
attribute values from an array.
|
|
* (bug 3837) Leave <center> as is instead of doing an unsafe text replacement
|
|
to <div class="center">. <center> is perfectly valid in the target doctype
|
|
(XHTML 1.0 Transitional), while the replacement didn't catch all cases and
|
|
could even result in invalid output from valid input.
|
|
* (bug 4280) Use 'noindex,nofollow' instead of 'noindex,follow' for default
|

meta robots tag on diff view and special pages. Should reduce impact of

|
|
could cause funny timeout behavior as the Content-Length was wrong.
|
|
* Return correct content-type header with 304 responses for StreamFile;
|
|
it confuses Safari if you let it return "text/html".
|
|

|
* Added an attractive space on the namespace selector on contribs
|
|
* Move PHP 5-friendly XHTML doctype hack to Sanitizer, use for sig checks.
|
|
Fixes use of named entities in sigs on PHP 5
|
|
* (bug 4482) Include move comment on the null edit as well as the redirect
|
|
* (bug 3990) Use existing session name if session.auto_start is on
|
|
Fixes checks for open sessions, such as the cookie warning on login.
|
|
Patch by Zbigniew Braniecki.
|
|
* Add cache-safe alternate sitenotice for anonymous users. (MediaWiki:Anonnotice)
|
|
This is displayed instead of the regular sitenotice, if it exists. If not, the
|
|
regular sitenotice shows. If that doesn't exist, the value of $wgSiteNotice is used,
|
|
and if that's null, then nothing is shown.
|
|
* Spit the generated LocalSettings code out during the installer as an aid
|
|
to debugging issues. (Keep this?)
|
|
* Use __FILE__ to form path in new LocalSettings.php, so it stays accurate
|
|
when the directory is relocated for typical usage.
|
|
* Auto-update $wgCacheEpoch when LocalSettings.php changes on new installs.
|
|
For typical usage this will be a light burden and should reduce confusion
|
|
when the configuration is edited.
|
|
* Fix $wgCacheEpoch's effect on client-side caching.
|
|
* (bug 1122) gray out 'older revision' when viewing first article revision.
|
|

|
* (bug 2393) Fix MIME type for Atom feeds ( application/rss+atom )
|
|
* Add ".deps.php" include-file preloaders for some dynamically-loaded
|
|
language and skin classes. Should help with the broken base-class

|
|
* Small changes to tabs in Monobook skin c/o Chris Ware
|
|
* (bug 4679) Work around buggy basename() function in PHP5, which breaks

|
uploads of files starting with multibyte characters on Linux.

|
|
both Unix and Windows.
|
|

|
|
* Do not check lag on external storage servers
|
|
* Do not tidy interface messages (unless full tidy is set)
|
|
* Do not trust equality propagation and give more hints to MySQL
|
|
optimizer for revision fetches (avoids index scans)
|
|
* Use revision rate for ETA in dump generation; it tends to be more stable
|
|
than the per-page count for full-history dumps.
|
|
* Include timestamp in wfDebugLog breakouts
|
|
* (bug 4469) Namespace-specific notice to be displayed below site-notice
|
|
Edit messages like "MediaWiki:Namespacenotice-" plus namespace name
|
|
which is blank for main namespace, or like e.g. "User_talk"
|
|
* Adjust user login/creation form hooks to work with a captcha plugin
|
|
* (bug 1284) Inline styles for diffs in Recent Changes RSS/Atom feeds

Patch by Lupin

incomplete, and the flags are not preserved across page deletion/undeletion.
|
|
To try it; add the 'deleterevision' permission to a privileged group.
|
|
* (bug 5270) Fix broken linktrail for br, cv, fr, hr, nn, oc, ta, wa
|
|
* Add a clickable contribs link in user tool links (rc, watchlist, diff view)

|
|
* (bug 4119) Workaround for <nowiki> following link in Walloon; remove capitals
|
|
from linktrail, as they're not used anywhere else.
|
|
* (bug 4781) Output links with the percent-encoding they're supplied with;
|
|
save the normalization for internal link storage. The normalization is a bit
|
|
buggy and can make incorrect foldings in the query string and such, so isn't
|
|
reliable beyond the hostname where it's used for the spam bulk checker.
|

== MediaWiki 1.5.8 ==
|
|
|
|
March 26, 2006
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.8 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
|
|
|
|
A bug in decoding of certain encoded links could allow injection of raw
|
|
HTML into page output; this could potentially lead to XSS attacks.
|
|
|
|
Some minor UI fixes were also made, see the change log at the bottom of
|
|
this file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5.7 ==
|
|
|
|
March 2, 2006
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.7 is a bugfix maintenance release.
|
|
|
|
Most importantly, a security issue in the installer has been fixed. The bug
|
|
affects new installations of 1.5.6 only. If the user specified the MySQL root
|
|
password, to allow the installer to create an unprivileged account, the
|
|
installer would not only create the new account but also change the root
|
|
password to be equal to the password of the new account.
|
|
|
|
Anyone affected by this bug will need to change the root password back
|
|
manually. For information about how to change passwords in MySQL please see:
|
|
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/passwords.html
|
|
|
|
This version includes fixes for compatibility with Internet Explorer 7
|
|
beta 2, and various other bugs; see the full changelog at the end of
|
|
the release notes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5.6 ==
|
|
|
|
January 19, 2006
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.6 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
|
|
|
|
A bug in edit comment formatting could send PHP into an infinite loop
|
|
if certain malformed links were included. In most installations, this
|
|
would cause the script to fail after PHP's 30-second failsafe timeout.
|
|
|
|
Some improvements have been made to the installer which should make
|
|
installation possible on a system with a broken MySQL "root" account.
|
|
|
|
For several other minor fixes, see the complete changelog at the end
|
|
of this file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5.5 ==
|
|
|
|
January 5, 2006
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.5 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
|
|
|
|
Detection for uploads of Windows Metafile (.wmf) images has been added
|
|
to help protect against a client-side vulnerability in unpatched Microsoft
|
|
Windows operating systems.
|
|
|
|
Sites which have enabled uploads and added non-standard file types
|
|
(such as .ogg, .doc, or .pdf) should upgrade to this release to ensure
|
|
that malicious .wmf files can't be uploaded with a fake extension;
|
|
such files could put visitors to the site at risk.
|
|
|
|
For more details on this, see:
|
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile_vulnerability
|
|
|
|
Additionally, a maintenance script removeUnusedAccounts.php has been added;
|
|
this replaces an older Perl script which had not been updated for the new
|
|
schema in 1.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5.4 ==
|
|
|
|
December 21, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.4 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
|
|
|
|
A hardcoded internal placeholder string has been replaced with a random
|
|
one. This closes a hole where security checks in inline style attributes
|
|
could be bypassed, injecting JavaScript code that could execute in
|
|
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
|
|
|
|
Other browsers would not be vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
Several minor fixes are included in this release, most notably a fix
|
|
to clear the "you have new messages" flag properly for usernames
|
|
containing spaces when e-mail notification is enabled.
|
|
|
|
See the changelog at the end of the release notes for a full list of
|
|
fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5.3 ==
|
|
|
|
December 4, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.3 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
|
|
|
|
Validation of the user language option was broken by a code change in
|
|
May 2005, opening the possibility of remote code execution as this
|
|
parameter is used in forming a class name dynamically created with
|
|
eval().
|
|
|
|
The validation has been corrected in this version. All prior 1.5 release
|
|
and prelease versions are affected; 1.4 and earlier and not affected.
|
|
|
|
Additionally several bugs have been fixed; see the changelog later in
|
|
this file for a complete list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5.2 ==
|
|
|
|
November 2, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.2 is a bugfix maintenance release.
|
|
|
|
A change in PHP 4.4.1 and PHP 5.1.0RC broke handling of extension and
|
|
<pre> sections, causing garbage data to be inserted in output and saved
|
|
edits. This version works around the change.
|
|
|
|
Several other glitches with MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.0.5 were also fixed;
|
|
see the change log below for a complete list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5.1 ==
|
|
|
|
October 26, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.1 is a bugfix and security maintenance release, and is a
|
|
recommended upgrade for all installations.
|
|
|
|
This release includes further corrections to the inline CSS style sanitation
|
|
which works around a JavaScript "feature" on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
|
|
Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows may be vulnerable to
|
|
XSS injections on prior versions; users of standards-compliant browsers
|
|
are not vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
Major fixes include:
|
|
* Image pages work again with resizing disabled
|
|
* Works in MySQL 5.0 strict mode
|
|
|
|
There is experimental support in this release for explicitly declaring
|
|
the UTF-8 charset in the database; this has been tested with MySQL 5.0.15
|
|
but should work on 4.1 as well.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Changing this setting on an existing wiki may produce interesting
|
|
data corruption, depending on server configuration. Page contents should,
|
|
usually, be unaffected, but page titles and other items may be. Limitations
|
|
in MySQL's Unicode support mean that characters outside the BMP cannot be used
|
|
in page titles or various other fields when using this mode.
|
|
|
|
Table definitions are in maintenance/mysql5/tables.sql, and the runtime
|
|
option to send 'SET NAMES utf8' is set by $wgDBmysql5 = true.
|
|
|
|
(MySQL 3.23.x and 4.0.x do not support character set declarations; on these
|
|
versions MediaWiki simply works with UTF-8 data and MySQL is blissfully
|
|
unaware of it.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5.0 final ==
|
|
|
|
October 5, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5.0 is the new stable release branch of MediaWiki, and is
|
|
recommended for all new installations.
|
|
|
|
Any wikis running a 1.5 beta or release candidate are strongly recommended
|
|
to upgrade to the final release, which includes a number of bug fixes and
|
|
a security fix for CSS bugs in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Running a 1.3 or 1.4 wiki and don't want to jump to 1.5 yet?
|
|
Be sure to upgrade to 1.3.17 or 1.4.11, also released today. Versions
|
|
prior to 1.3.16 and 1.4.10 have a serious data corruption bug which is
|
|
triggered by a spambot known to operate in the wild.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== What's new in 1.5? ===
|
|
|
|
Schema:
|
|
The core table schema has changed significantly. This should make better
|
|
use of the database's cache and disk I/O, and make significantly speed up
|
|
rename and delete operations on pages with very long edit histories.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately this does mean upgrading a wiki of size from 1.4 will require
|
|
some downtime for the schema restructuring, but future storage backend
|
|
changes should be able to integrate into the new system more easily.
|
|
|
|
Permalinks:
|
|
The current revision of a page now has a permanent 'oldid' number assigned
|
|
immediately, and the id numbers are now preserved across deletion/undeletion.
|
|
A permanent reference to the current revision of a page is now just a matter
|
|
of going to the 'history' tab and copying the first link in the list.
|
|
|
|
Page move log:
|
|
Renames of pages are now recorded in Special:Log and the page history.
|
|
A handy revert link is available from the log for sysops.
|
|
|
|
Editing diff:
|
|
Ever lost track of what you'd done so far during an edit? A 'Show diff'
|
|
button on the edit page now makes it easy to remember.
|
|
|
|
Uploads:
|
|
It's now possible to specify the final filename of an upload distinct
|
|
from the original filename on your disk.
|
|
|
|
An image link for a missing file will now take you straight to the upload page.
|
|
|
|
More metadata is pre-extracted from uploaded images, which will ease pressure
|
|
on disk or NFS volumes used to store images. EXIF metadata is displayed on
|
|
the image description page if PHP is configured with the necessary module.
|
|
|
|
If .svg files are added to the upload whitelist, you can choose to render
|
|
them to rasterized .png images for inline display using one of several
|
|
external helper programs. See DefaultSettings.php for SVG options.
|
|
|
|
User accounts:
|
|
There are some changes to the user permissions system, with assignable
|
|
groups. Note that this does *not* allow you to make pages which are only
|
|
accessible to certain groups.
|
|
|
|
For details see: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_rights
|
|
|
|
E-mail:
|
|
User-to-user e-mail can now be restricted to require a mail-back confirmation
|
|
first to reduce potential for abuse with false addresses.
|
|
|
|
Updates to user talk pages and watchlist entries can optionally send e-mail
|
|
notifications.
|
|
|
|
External hooks:
|
|
A somewhat experimental interface for hooking in an external editor
|
|
application is included.
|
|
|
|
And...
|
|
A bunch of stuff we forgot to mention.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== What's gone? ===
|
|
|
|
Latin-1:
|
|
Wikis must now be encoded in Unicode UTF-8; this has been the default for
|
|
some time, but some languages could optionally be installed in Latin-1 mode.
|
|
This is no longer supported.
|
|
|
|
You can check if your current wiki is in Latin-1 mode by using your browser's
|
|
"view source"; look for a line like this:
|
|
|
|
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
|
|
|
|
If it says charset=utf-8, you're ready. If it says charset=iso8859-1,
|
|
you may need to convert your data. (English-language wikis avoiding
|
|
any accented characters may be able to get away without conversion.)
|
|
|
|
MySQL 3.x:
|
|
Some optimization hacks for MySQL 3.x have been removed as part of the schema
|
|
clean-up (specifically, the inverse_timestamp fields).
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5 may still run on 3.x, but wikis of non-trivial size should
|
|
very seriously consider upgrading to a more modern release. MySQL 3.x support
|
|
will probably be entirely dropped in the next major release.
|
|
|
|
Special:Maintenance
|
|
These tools were, ironically enough, not really maintained. This special

page has been removed; insofar as some of its pieces were useful and haven't
|
|
already been supplanted by other special pages they should be rewritten in
|
|
an efficient and safe manner in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Caveats ===
|
|
|
|
Upgrade:
|
|
Wikis in Latin-1 encoding are no longer supported; only Unicode UTF-8.
|
|
A new option $wgLegacyEncoding is provided to allow on-the-fly recoding of
|
|
old page text entries, but other metadata fields (titles, comments etc) need
|
|
to be pre-converted. The standard upgrade process does not yet fully automate
|
|
this, but you can try the alternate partial-upgrader in upgrade1_5.php.
|
|
|
|
The upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 schema has not been tested for all cases, so
|
|
it's possible you may experience problems in some combinations.
|
|
|
|
Backups:
|
|
The text entries of deleted pages are no longer removed from the main
|
|
text table on deletion. If you provide public backup dumps of your databases,
|
|
you will probably want to use the new XML-format dump generator, available
|
|
as maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
|
|
|
|
For more information on how we run our own public data dumps at Wikimedia,
|
|
see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL:
|
|
The table definitions for PostgreSQL install are out of date. PostgreSQL
|
|
support may return in later releases, pending appropriate patches.
|
|
|
|
MySQL 4.1+:
|
|
Some users may encounter installation problems with MySQL 4.1 or higher
|
|
due to strange charset encoding / collation configurations. Try setting
|
|
to 'latin1' or 'utf8' if you encounter problems.

== MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 4 ==
|
|
|
|
August 29, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5rc4 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
|
|
It fixes compatibility with PHP 5.1, and corrects two cross-site scripting
|
|
security bugs:
|
|
|
|
* <math> tags were handled incorrectly when TeX rendering support is off,
|
|
as in the default configuration.
|
|
* Extension or <nowiki> sections in Wiki table syntax could bypass HTML
|
|
style attribute restrictions for cross-site scripting attacks against
|
|
Microsoft Internet Explorer
|
|
|
|
Wikis where the optional math support has been *enabled* are not vulnerable
|
|
to the first, but are vulnerable to the second.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 3 ==
|
|
|
|
August 24, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5rc3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
|
|
It fixes several major problems in 1.5rc2:
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a cross-site scripting injection in the search form
|
|
(broken since 1.5beta1)
|
|
|
|
* Fixed upgrades from 1.4 database schema
|
|
(broken since 1.5rc2)
|
|
|
|
1.3 and 1.4 releases are not vulnerable to the XSS bug, but anyone
|
|
running an earlier 1.5 beta or release candidate should upgrade
|
|
immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5 release candidate 2 ==
|
|
|
|
August 23, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5rc2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
|
|
Numerous bug fixes since last beta, plus a security fix; see change
|
|
log below for full details.
|
|
|
|
A flaw in the interaction between extensions and HTML attribute
|
|
sanitization was discovered which could allow unauthorized use
|
|
of offsite resources in style sheets, and possible exploitation
|
|
of a JavaScript injection feature on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
|
|
|
|
This version expands the returned text and properly checks it
|
|
before output.
|
|
|
|
A 1.5rc1 release was mistakenly made from the incorrect source code
|
|
branch; 1.5rc2 is identical to the actual 1.5rc1 in revision control
|
|
except for version number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 4 ==
|
|
|
|
July 30, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5 beta 4 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
|
|
A number of bugs have been fixed since beta 3; see the full changelist below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 ==
|
|
|
|
July 7, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release
|
|
series, with a security update over beta 2.
|
|
|
|
Incorrect escaping of a parameter in the page move template could
|
|
be used to inject JavaScript code by getting a victim to visit a
|
|
maliciously constructed URL. Users of vulnerable releases are
|
|
recommended to upgrade to this release.
|
|
|
|
Vulnerable versions:
|
|
* 1.5 preview series: n <= 1.5beta2 vulnerable, fixed in 1.5beta3
|
|
* 1.4 stable series: 1.4beta6 <= n <= 1.4.5 vulnerable, fixed in 1.4.6
|
|
* 1.3 legacy series: not vulnerable
|
|
|
|
This release also includes several bug fixes and localization updates.

== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 ==
|
|
|
|
July 5, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
|
|
While most exciting new bugs should have been ironed out at this point,
|
|
third-party wiki operators should probably not run this beta release
|
|
on a public site without closely following additional development.
|
|
|
|
Anyone who _has_ been running beta 1 is very very strongly advised to
|
|
upgrade to beta 2, as it fixes many bugs from the previous beta including
|
|
a couple of HTML and SQL injections.
|
|
|
|
This release should be followed by one or two release candidates and
|
|
a 1.5.0 final within the next few weeks.
|
|
|
|
Beta upgraders, note there are some minor database changes. For upgrades
|
|
from 1.4, see the file UPGRADE for details on significant database and
|
|
configuration file changes.
|
|
|
|
Beta 2 includes a preliminary command-line XML wiki dump importer tool,
|
|
maintenance/importDump.php, paired with maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
|
|
These use the same format as Special:Export and Special:Import, able
|
|
to package a wiki's entire page set independent of the backend database
|
|
and compression format.
|
|
|

|
== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 ==
|
|
|
|
June 26, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5 beta 1 is a preview release, pretty much feature complete,
|
|
of the new 1.5 release series. There are several known and likely a number
|
|
of unknown bugs; it is not recommended to use this release in a production
|
|
environment but would be recommended for testing in mind of an upcoming
|
|
deployment.
|
|
|
|
A number of significant changes have been made since the alpha releases,
|
|
including database changes and a reworking of the user permissions settings.
|
|
See the file UPGRADE for details of upgrading and changing your prior
|
|
configuration settings for the new system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 ==
|
|
|
|
June 3, 2005
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 includes a lot of bug fixes, feature merges,
|
|
and a security update.
|
|
|
|
Incorrect handling of page template inclusions made it possible to
|
|
inject JavaScript code into HTML attributes, which could lead to
|
|
cross-site scripting attacks on a publicly editable wiki.
|
|
|
|
Vulnerable releases and fix:
|
|
* 1.5 prerelease: fixed in 1.5alpha2
|
|
* 1.4 stable series: fixed in 1.4.5
|
|
* 1.3 legacy series: fixed in 1.3.13
|
|
* 1.2 series no longer supported; upgrade to 1.4.5 strongly recommended

|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 1 ==
|
|
|
|
May 3, 2005
|
|
|
|
This is a testing preview release, being put out mainly to aid testers in
|
|
finding installation bugs and other major problems. It is strongly recommended
|
|
NOT to run a live production web site on this alpha release.
|

=== Caveats ===
|
|
|
|
Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
|
|
produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
|
|
set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
|
|
cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
|
|
MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)

== MediaWiki 1.4.3 ==
|
|
|
|
(released 2005-04-28)
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.4.3 is a bugfix release for the 1.4 stable release series.
|
|
|
|
Chiefly, this fixes a compatibility problem with PHP 5 and a minor link
|
|
table corruption bug on initial page save.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.4.2 ==
|
|
|
|
(released 2005-04-20)
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.4.2 is a security and bug fix release for the 1.4 stable release
|
|
series.
|
|
|
|
A cross-site scripting injection vulnerability was discovered, which
|
|
affects only MSIE clients and is only open if MediaWiki has been
|
|
manually configured to run output through HTML Tidy ($wgUseTidy).
|
|
|
|
Several other bugs are fixed in this release, see the changelog below.
|
|
|
|
All new installations are highly recommended to use 1.4.2 instead of
|
|
1.3.x; 1.3.x users should consider upgrading for bug fixes and new
|
|
features. Ealier 1.4.x release and beta users should upgrade to this
|
|
release for relevant bug fixes; see the changelog later in this file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have trouble, remember to read this whole file and the online FAQ page
|
|
before asking for help:
|
|
|
|
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== READ THIS FIRST: Upgrading ===
|
|
|
|
If upgrading from an older release, see the notes in the file UPGRADE.
|
|
There are a couple of minor database changes from the beta releases,
|
|
and somewhat larger changes from 1.3.x.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading from a previous 1.4.x stable release installation should
|
|
generally only require copying the new files over the old ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== READ THIS FIRST, TOO: MySQL 4.1 AND 5.0 ====
|
|
|
|
MySQL 5.0 is a beta release, not yet ready for production use. If you
|
|
are using it, the notes below about 4.1 apply to you too.
|
|
|
|
If you have the choice of MySQL 4.0 or MySQL 4.1 and don't need 4.1 for
|
|
some other application, you should consider sticking with 4.0 for the
|
|
moment. 4.1 may require you to do extra fiddling to get things to work
|
|
due to changes that aren't fully backwards-compatible.
|
|
|
|
MySQL 4.1 has changed the authentication protocol in an incompatible
|
|
way; many PHP installations still use the older client libraries and
|
|
CANNOT CONNECT TO THE SERVER WITH A PASSWORD without some changes.
|
|
|
|
See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html
|
|
|
|
If MySQL is set with utf-8 as the default character set, installation
|
|
may fail with "key too long" errors. Set the default charset to 'latin1'
|
|
for installation and it should work.
|
|
|
|
The mysqldump backup generator now applies an automatic conversion to
|
|
UTF-8, which may irretrivably corrupt your data. Pass the -charset option
|
|
with the original default charset (eg 'latin1') to skip the conversion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== READ THIS FIRST IF RUNNING ON A WINDOWS SERVER ====
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki is tested and deployed primarily under the Apache web server
|
|
on Linux Unix systems. There are known to be problems running on
|
|
Microsoft's IIS which are not fully resolved. If you have a choice,
|
|
try running under Apache on Windows, or on a Unix/Linux box instead.
|
|
|
|
If you're having trouble with blank pages on IIS and can't switch,
|
|
try the workaround suggested in this bug report:
|
|
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1763
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== New features ===
|
|
|
|
* 'Recentchanges Patrol' to mark new edits that haven't yet been viewed.
|
|
* New, searchable deletion/upload/protection logs
|
|
* Image gallery generation (Special:Newimages and <gallery> tag)
|
|
* SVG rasterization support (requires external support tools)
|
|
* Users can select from the available localizations to override the
|
|
default user interface language.
|
|
* Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion support
|
|
* rel="nofollow" support to combat linkspam
|
|
|
|
The current implementation adds this attribute to _all_ external URL
|
|
links in wiki text (but not internal [[wiki links]] or interwiki links).
|
|
To disable the attribute for _all_ external links, add this line to your
|
|
LocalSettings.php:
|
|
|
|
$wgNoFollowLinks = false
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Installation and compatibility ===
|
|
|
|
* The default MonoBook theme now works with PHP 5.0
|
|
* Installation on systems with PHP's safe mode or other oddities
|
|
should work more reliably, as MonoBook no longer needs to
|
|
create a compiled template file for the wiki to run.
|
|
* A table prefix may be specified, to avoid conflicts with other
|
|
web applications forced to share a database.
|
|
* More thorough UTF-8 input validation; fixes non-ASCII uploaded
|
|
filenames from Safari.
|
|
* Command-line database upgrade script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Customizability ===
|
|
|
|
* Default user options can now be overridden in LocalSettings.
|
|
* Skins system more modular: templates and CSS are now in /skins/
|
|
New skins can be dropped into this directory and used immediately.
|
|
* More extension hooks have been added.
|
|
* Authentication plugin hook.
|
|
* More internal code documentation, generated with phpdoc:
|
|
http://www.mediawiki.org/docs/html/
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Optimization ===
|
|
|
|
* For many operations, MediaWiki 1.4 should run faster and use
|
|
less memory than MediaWiki 1.3. Page rendering is up to twice
|
|
as fast. (Use a PHP accelerator such as Turck MMCache for best
|
|
results with any PHP application, though!)
|
|
* The parser cache no longer requires memcached, and is enabled
|
|
by default. This avoids a lot of re-rendering of pages that
|
|
have been shown recently, greatly speeding longer page views.
|
|
* Support for compiled PHP modules to speed up page diff and
|
|
Unicode validation/normalization. (Requires ability to compile
|
|
and load PHP extensions).
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== What isn't ready yet ===
|
|
|
|
* A new user/groups permissions scheme has been held back to 1.5.
|
|
* An experimental SOAP interface will be made available as an extension
|
|
* PostgreSQL support is largely working, minus search and the installer.
|
|
You can perform a manual installation.
|
|
* E-mail notification of watched page changes and verification of
|
|
user-submitted e-mail addresses is not yet included.
|
|
* Log pages are not automatically imported into the new log table
|
|
at upgrade time. A script to import old text log entries is
|
|
incomplete, but may be available in later point releases.
|
|
* Some localizations are still incomplete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Changelog ==
|
|
|
|
=== Important security updates ===
|
|
|
|
A security audit found and fixed a number of problems. Users of MediaWiki
|
|
1.3.10 and earlier should upgrade to 1.3.11; users of 1.4 beta releases
|
|
prior to 1.4rc1 should upgrade immediately.
|
|
|
|
==== Cross-site scripting vulnerability ====
|
|
|
|
XSS injection points can be used to hijack session and authentication
|
|
cookies as well as more serious attacks.
|
|
|
|
* Media: links output raw text into an attribute value, potentially
|
|
abusable for JavaScript injection. This has been corrected.
|
|
* Additional checks added to file upload to protect against MSIE and
|
|
Safari MIME-type autodetection bugs.
|
|
|
|
As of 1.3.10/1.4beta6, per-user customized CSS and JavaScript is disabled
|
|
by default as a general precaution. Sites which want this ability may set
|
|
$wgAllowUserCss and $wgAllowUserJs in LocalSettings.php.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Cross-site request forgery ====
|
|
|
|
An attacker could use JavaScript-submitted forms to perform various
|
|
restricted actions by tricking an authenticated user into visiting
|
|
a malicious web page. A fix for page editing in 1.3.10/1.4beta6 has
|
|
been expanded in this release to other forms and functions.
|
|
|
|
Authors of bot tools may need to update their code to include the
|
|
additional fields.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Directory traversal ====
|
|
|
|
An unchecked parameter in image deletion could allow an authenticated
|
|
administrator to delete arbitary files in directories writable by the
|
|
web server, and confirm existence of files not deletable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Older issues ====
|
|
|
|
Note that 1.4 beta releases prior to beta 5 include an input validation
|
|
error which could lead to execution of arbitrary PHP code on the server.
|
|
Users of older betas should upgrade immediately to the current version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beta 6 also introduces the use of rel="nofollow" attributes on external
|
|
links in wiki pages to reduce the effectiveness of wiki spam. This will
|
|
cause participating search engines to ignore external URL links from wiki
|
|
pages for purposes of page relevancy ranking.
|
|
|
|
|
|

=== Caveats ===
|
|
|
|
Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
|
|
produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
|
|
set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
|
|
cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
|
|
MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)
