| |
| | |
| | |
| == MediaWiki 1.12.0rc1 ==
| |
| | |
| This is a release candidate of the Winter 2008 quarterly snapshot 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 in 1.12 ===
| |
| * Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the
| |
| markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used.
| |
| This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group.
| |
| * MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration
| |
| variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e.
| |
| to not check and assume they are always up to date)
| |
| * The rollback permission can now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism.
| |
| * New configuration variable $wgExtraLanguageNames
| |
| * Behaviour of $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups changed. New behaviour:
| |
| * * Granting the userrights privilege allows arbitrary changing of rights.
| |
| * * Without the userrights privilege, a user will be able to add and/or
| |
| remove the groups specified in $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups for
| |
| any groups they are in.
| |
| * New permission userrights-interwiki for changing user rights on foreign wikis.
| |
| * $wgImplictGroups for groups that are hidden from Special:Listusers, etc.
| |
| * $wgAutopromote: automatically promote users who match specified criteria
| |
| * $wgGroupsAddToSelf, $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf: allow users to add or remove
| |
| themselves from specified groups via Special:Userrights.
| |
| * When $wgUseTidy has been enabled, PHP's Tidy module is now used if it is
| |
| present, in preference to an external Tidy executable which may or may not
| |
| be present. To force use of external Tidy even when the PHP module is
| |
| available, set $wgTidyInternal to false.
| |
| | |
| | |
| === New features in 1.12 ===
| |
| * (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload
| |
| * Add {{filepath:}} parser function to get full path to an uploaded file,
| |
| complementing {{fullurl:}} for pages.
| |
| * (bug 11136) If using Postgres, search path is explicitly set if wgDBmwschema
| |
| is not set to 'mediawiki', allowing multiple mediawiki instances per user.
| |
| * (bug 11151) Add descriptive <title> to revision history page
| |
| * (bug 5412) Add feed links for the site to all pages
| |

| |
| source" tab entirely if the page doesn't exist and the user isn't allowed to
| |
| create it
| |
| * Clarify instructions given when an exception is thrown
| |
| * AuthPlugin added strictUserAuth() method to allow per-user override

| |
| * isValidEmailAddr hook added to User method of that name, to allow, e.g., re-
| |
| stricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain
| |
| * Removed "Clear" link in watchlist editor tools, as people were afraid to
| |
| click it. Existing clear links will fall back to the raw editor, which is
| |
| very easy to clear your watchlist with.
| |
| * (bug 1405) Add wgUseNPPatrol option to control patroling for new articles
| |
| on Special:Newpages
| |
| * LogLine hook added to allow formatting custom entries in Special:Log.

| * Support for Hebrew numerals in dates and times
| |
| * (bug 11315) Signatures can be configured in [[MediaWiki:Signature]] and

| |
| user page
| |
| * Added --override switch for disabled pages in updateSpecialPages.php
| |
| * Provide a unique message (ipb_blocked_as_range) if unblock of a single IP

| because it is part of a blocked range.
| |
| * (bug 3973) Use a separate message for the email content when an account is
| |
| created by another user
| |
| * dumpTextPass.php can spawn fetchText.php as a subprocess, which should restart

| |
| * Special:Upload now lists permitted/prohibited file extensions.
| |
| * Split ambiguous filetype-badtype message into two new messages,
| |
| filetype-unwanted-type and filetype-banned-type.
| |
| * Added link to the old title in Special:Movepage
| |
| * On Special:Movepage, errors are now more noticeable.
| |
| * It is now possible to change rights on other local wikis without the MakeSysop
| |
| extension
| |
| * Add HTML ID's mw-read-only-warning and mw-anon-edit-warning to warnings when
| |
| editing to allow CSS styling.
| |
| * Parser now returns list of sections
| |
| * When a user is prohibited from creating a page, a title of "View source"
| |
| makes no sense, and there should be no "Return to [[Page]]" link.
| |
| * (bug 12486) Protected titles now give a warning for privileged editors.
| |
| * (bug 9939) Special:Search now sets focus to search input box when no existing
| |
| search is active
| |
| * For Special:Userrights, use GET instead of POST to search for users.

| |
| * (bug 12655) Added $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo config option to put sender
| |
| address in Reply-To instead of From for user-to-user emails.
| |
| This protects against SPF problems and privacy-leaking bounce messages
| |
| when using mailers that set the envelope sender to the From header value.
| |
| * (bug 11897) Add alias [[Special:CreateAccount]] & [[Special:Userlogin/signup]]
| |
| for Special:Userlogin?type=signup
| |
| * (bug 12214) Add a predefined list of delete reasons to the file deletion form
| |
| * Merged backends for OpenSearch suggestions and AJAX search.
| |
| Both now accept namespace prefixes, handle 'Media:' and 'Special:' pages,
| |
| and reject interwiki prefixes. PrefixSearch class centralizes this code,
| |
| and the backend part can be overridden by the PrefixSearchBackend hook.

| == Parser changes in 1.12 ==
| |
| | |
| For help with migration to the MediaWiki 1.12 parser, please visit:
| |
| | |
| http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_to_the_new_preprocessor
| |
| | |
| The parser pass order has changed from
| |
| | |
| * Extension tag strip and render
| |
| * HTML normalisation and security
| |
| * Template expansion
| |
| * Main section...
| |
| | |
| to
| |
| | |
| * Template and extension tag parse to intermediate representation
| |
| * Template expansion and extension rendering
| |
| * HTML normalisation and security
| |
| * Main section...
| |
| | |
| The main effect of this for the user is that the rules for uncovered syntax
| |
| have changed.
| |
| | |
| Uncovered main-pass syntax, such as HTML tags, are now generally valid, whereas
| |
| previously in some cases they were escaped. For example, you could have "<ta" in
| |
| one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a
| |
| valid <table> tag. Previously the result would have been "<table>".
| |
| | |
| Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you
| |
| have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be
| |
| converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This
| |
| was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in
| |
| the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion
| |
| will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template
| |
| expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security
| |
| pass.
| |
| | |
| Bug 5678 has been fixed. This has a number of user-visible effects related to
| |
| the removal of this double-parse. Please see the wiki page for examples.
| |
| | |
| Message transformation mode has been removed, and replaced with "preprocess"
| |
| mode. This means that some MediaWiki namespace messages may need to be updated,
| |
| especially ones which took advantage of the terribly counterintuitive behaviour
| |
| of the former message mode.
| |
| | |
| The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section
| |
| edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a
| |
| whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by
| |
| template expansion will still be rendered into a heading tag, and will get an
| |
| entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link. HTML-style headings
| |
| will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext headings present in the
| |
| template source text will get a template section edit link. This is a major
| |
| break from previous behaviour, but I believe the effects are almost entirely
| |
| beneficial.
| |
| | |
| The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass
| |
| preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed
| |
| #switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a
| |
| significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from
| |
| Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement
| |
| by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration.
| |
| | |
| The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient
| |
| way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance
| |
| anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default
| |
| limit.
| |
| | |
| The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so
| |
| extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes.
| |
| | |
| The new preprocessor syntax has been documented in Backus-Naur Form at:
| |
| | |
| http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF
| |
| | |
| The ExpandTemplates extension now has the ability to generate an XML parse
| |
| tree from wikitext source. This parse tree corresponds closely to the grammar
| |
| documented on that page.

| |
| == Compatibility ==
| |
|
| |
| MediaWiki 1.12 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 ==
| |
|
| |
| 1.12 has several database changes since 1.11, 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 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 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| === 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.)
| |
