== MediaWiki 1.29 ==
|
|
|
|
THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.29 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in
|
|
production.
|
|
|
|
=== Configuration changes in 1.29 ===
|
|
* Default cookie expiration time has been reduced to 30 days. Login cookie expiration time is
|
|
kept at 180 days.
|
|
* A new configuration variable has been added: $wgCookieSetOnAutoblock. This
|
|
determines whether to set a cookie when a user is autoblocked. Doing so means
|
|
that a blocked user, even after logging out and moving to a new IP address,
|
|
will still be blocked.
|
|
|
|
=== New features in 1.29 ===
|
|
* (T5233) A cookie can now be set when a user is autoblocked, to track that user if
|
|
they move to a new IP address. This is disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
=== External library changes in 1.29 ===
|
|
|
|
==== Upgraded external libraries ====
|
|
|
|
==== New external libraries ====
|
|
|
|
==== Removed and replaced external libraries ====
|
|
|
|
=== Bug fixes in 1.29 ===
|
|
|
|
=== Action API changes in 1.29 ===
|
|
* Submitting sensitive authentication request parameters to action=clientlogin,
|
|
action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and action=changeauthenticationdata
|
|
in the query string is now an error. They should be submitted in the POST
|
|
body instead.
|
|
|
|
=== Action API internal changes in 1.29 ===
|
|
|
|
=== Languages updated in 1.29 ===
|
|
|
|
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 Phabricator reports.
|
|
|
|
=== Other changes in 1.29 ===
|
|
* Database::getSearchEngine() (deprecated in 1.28) was removed. Use
|
|
SearchEngineFactory::getSearchEngineClass() instead.
|
|
|
|
== Compatibility ==
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.29 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. There is experimental support for
|
|
HHVM 3.6.5 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 5.0.3 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 ==
|
|
|
|
1.29 has several database changes since 1.28, 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.
|
|
|
|
