= 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.
|
|
|
|
== 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
|
|
|
|
For background information on nofollow see:
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
=== 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.)
