= MediaWiki 1.38 =
|
||
|
||
== MediaWiki 1.38.0-PRERELEASE ==
|
||
|
||
THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
|
||
|
||
MediaWiki 1.38 is an alpha-quality development branch, and is not recommended
|
||
for use in production.
|
||
|
||
== Upgrading notes for 1.38 ==
|
||
Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
|
||
|
||
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed per-version upgrade instructions from the
|
||
oldest supported upgrading version, MediaWiki 1.29.
|
||
|
||
Some specific notes for MediaWiki 1.38 upgrades are below:
|
||
* …
|
||
|
||
For notes on 1.36.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
|
||
|
||
=== Configuration changes for system administrators in 1.38 ===
|
||
* Deprecate $wgAjaxUploadDestCheck, act as always-true
|
||
* …
|
||
|
||
==== New configuration ====
|
||
* $wgBrowserFormatDetection – This setting allows overriding browsers' automatic
|
||
detection and handling of formats. It's initially used to prevent auto-linking
|
||
of possible telephone numbers in wiki pages' output in Safari on iOS; this can
|
||
be re-enabled if you wish, or locally extended for other browsers' quirks.
|
||
* $wgGroupInheritsPermissions – This setting allows inheriting permissions, both
|
||
granted and revoked, from another group.
|
||
* $wgForeignApiRepos – ForeignAPIRepo now has a apiMetadataExpiry option
|
||
to control how long file metadata is cached. Additionally the default changed
|
||
from 1 hour to 4 hours.
|
||
* …
|
||
|
||
==== Changed configuration ====
|
||
* $wgMaxImageArea - This setting may now be set to false to disable size
|
||
checking before scaling. Extensions can still override its value by
|
||
using the BitmapHandlerCheckImageArea hook.
|
||
* …
|
||
|
||
==== Removed configuration ====
|
||
* $wgShellLocale - This setting has been removed as it was a flawed solution
|
||
to the problem of locale dependence, MediaWiki will now always set a locale
|
||
of C.UTF-8 or C and works around the remaining problems of the C locale by
|
||
not using escapeshellarg. This follows the direction of PHP 8.0, which sets
|
||
a locale of C by default instead of respecting LC_CTYPE.
|
||
* $wgLoggedOutMaxAge - Experiment removed, originally added in 1.35. (T293848)
|
||
* $wgIncludejQueryMigrate - Deprecated in 1.36. We only support jQuery v3.
|
||
* …
|
||
|
||
=== New user-facing features in 1.38 ===
|
||
* …
|
||
|
||
=== New developer features in 1.38 ===
|
||
* Added a deleteUserEmail maintenance script - This file enables the deletion
|
||
of a given user's associated email address. It can be helpful for
|
||
privacy-preserving operations.
|
||
* Description array for constructing HTMLForm now can use 'disable-if' to
|
||
disable fields on condition easily, supported expressions are the same
|
||
as 'hide-if'.
|
||
* …
|
||
|
||
=== External library changes in 1.38 ===
|
||
|
||

`mw-filedelete-submit`

Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
|
||

|
||
|
||
== Mailing list ==
|
||
A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:
|
||
|
||
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
|
||
|
||
A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
|
||
|
||
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
|
||
|
||
It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
|
||
going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
