Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals. If you
|
|
have it on, turn it '''off''' if you can.
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.24 ==
|
|
|
|
THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.24 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in
|
|
production.
|
|
|
|
=== Configuration changes in 1.24 ===
|
|
|
|
=== New features in 1.24 ===
|
|
* Added a new hook, "WhatLinksHereProps", to allow extensions to annotate
|
|
WhatLinksHere entries.
|
|
* HTMLForm's HTMLTextField now supports the 'url' type.
|
|
* HTMLForm fields may now be dynamically hidden based on the values of other
|
|
fields in the form.
|
|
* HTMLForm now supports multiple copies of an input field or set of input
|
|
fields, e.g. the form may request "one or more usernames" without having to
|
|
have the user enter delimited list of names into a text field.
|
|
|
|
=== Bug fixes in 1.24 ===
|
|
* (bug 62258) A bug was fixed in File::getUnscaledThumb when a height
|
|
restriction was present in the parameters. Images with both the "frame"
|
|
option and a size specification set will now always ignore the provided
|
|
size and display an unscaled image, as the documentation has always
|
|
claimed it would.
|
|
* (bug 39035) Improved Vector skin performance by removing collapsibleNav,
|
|
which used to collapse some sidebar elements by default.
|
|
* (bug 890) Links in Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist no longer
|
|
follow redirects to their target pages.
|
|
|
|
=== Web API changes in 1.24 ===
|
|
|
|
=== Languages updated in 1.24 ===
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
|
|
regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
|
|
changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
|
|
|
|
=== Other changes in 1.24 ===
|
|
* The deprecated jquery.delayedBind ResourceLoader module was removed.
|
|
* The deprecated function mw.util.toggleToc was removed.
|
|
* The Special:Search hooks SpecialSearchGo and SpecialSearchResultsAppend
|
|
were removed as they were unused.
|
|
|
|
==== Renamed classes ====
|
|
* CLDRPluralRuleConverter_Expression to CLDRPluralRuleConverterExpression
|
|
* CLDRPluralRuleConverter_Fragment to CLDRPluralRuleConverterFragment
|
|
* CLDRPluralRuleConverter_Operator to CLDRPluralRuleConverterOperator
|
|
* CLDRPluralRuleEvaluator_Range to CLDRPluralRuleEvaluatorRange
|
|
* CSSJanus_Tokenizer to CSSJanusTokenizer
|
|
|
|
== Compatibility ==
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.24 requires PHP 5.3.2 or later.
|
|
|
|
MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
|
|
support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
|
|
Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
|
|
|
|
The supported versions are:
|
|
|
|
* MySQL 5.0.2 or later
|
|
* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
|
|
* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
|
|
* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
|
|
* Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
|
|
|
|
== Upgrading ==
|
|
|
|
1.24 has several database changes since 1.22, and will not work without schema
|
|
updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
|
|
table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
|
|
many hours on a large site).
|
|
|
|
If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
|
|
repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
|
|
due to database schema changes.
|
|
|
|
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, you should upgrade to
|
|
1.5 first. The upgrade script maintenance/upgrade1_5.php has been removed
|
|
with MediaWiki 1.21.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
|
|
|
|
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
|
|
|
|
For notes on 1.21.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

== Online documentation ==
|
|
|
|
Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
|
|
MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
|
|
for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):

|
|
|
|
== 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.
|
|
|
|
== IRC help ==
|
|
|
|
There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net.
