| | 49 | +=== Summary of selected changes in 1.18 === |
| | 50 | + |
| | 51 | +Selected changes since MediaWiki 1.17 that may be of interest: |
| | 52 | + |
| | 53 | +* Some of the more commonly used MediaWiki extensions are now included in the |
| | 54 | + release tarball. These extensions are ConfirmEdit, Gadgets, Nuke, ParserFunctions, |
| | 55 | + Renameuser, Vector and WikiEditor. |

| | 62 | + improved, and can now extract IPTC and XMP metadata. |
| | 63 | + |
| | 64 | +* Improved directionality support in 1.18 means that MediaWiki is better to use for |
| | 65 | + RTL users. |

| | 98 | +* (bug 29854) Store protocol-relative links twice in the externallinks table, |
| | 99 | + one with http: in el_index and once with https. |
| | 100 | +* (bug 31822) Error during upgrade due to output buffer reset in stdout. |
| | 101 | + |
| | 102 | +=== Configuration changes in 1.18 === |
| | 103 | +* The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with |
| | 104 | + WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions. |
| | 105 | +* The SkinTemplateBuildContentActionUrlsAfterSpecialPage, |
| | 106 | + SkinTemplateContentActions and SkinTemplateTabs hooks have been removed in |
| | 107 | + favor of SkinTemplateNavigation and SkinTemplateNavigation::SpecialPage. |
| | 108 | +* $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined |
| | 109 | + login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login |
| | 110 | + and create account links. |
| | 111 | +* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in |
| | 112 | + $wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for |
| | 113 | + $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try |
| | 114 | + loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook. |
| | 115 | +* $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit |
| | 116 | + per upload type. |
| | 117 | +* $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set |
| | 118 | + $wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0; |
| | 119 | +* OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed |
| | 120 | + by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false. |
| | 121 | +* Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins |
| | 122 | + should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate. |
| | 123 | +* The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old |
| | 124 | + Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with |
| | 125 | + $wgLegacyEncoding set. |
| | 126 | +* (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we |
| | 127 | + look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage. |
| | 128 | +* $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed. |
| | 129 | + Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the |
| | 130 | + same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to |
| | 131 | + replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality. |
| | 132 | +* The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box |
| | 133 | + makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation" |
| | 134 | + and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk |
| | 135 | + edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block |
| | 136 | + anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings |
| | 137 | + remain the same. |
| | 138 | +* Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which |
| | 139 | + will probably break screen-scraping bots. |
| | 140 | +* (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default. |
| | 141 | + $wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default. |
| | 142 | +* (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least |
| | 143 | + *appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the |
| | 144 | + ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the |
| | 145 | + output. |
| | 146 | +* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable |
| | 147 | + math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from |
| | 148 | + http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php: |
| | 149 | + require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"; |
| | 150 | +* $wgProfiler is now a configuration array, see StartProfiler.sample for |
| | 151 | + details. |
| | 152 | +* $wgProfiling has been removed. |
| | 153 | +* The spyc library is now no longer included in phase3. |
| | 154 | +* (bug 28343) Unused preferences contextlines/contextchars have been removed |
| | 155 | +* $wgSkinExtensionFunctions has been removed. Use $wgExtensionFunctions instead. |
| | 156 | +* $wgProto has been removed. You now only need to set $wgServer to change the |
| | 157 | + URL protocol. |
| | 158 | +* $wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups (deprecated in 1.13) has been removed. |
| | 159 | +* $wgInputEncoding and $wgOutputEncoding (deprecated in 1.5) have now been removed. |
| | 160 | +* $wgAllowUserSkin (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed. |
| | 161 | +* $wgExtraRandompageSQL (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed. |
| | 162 | +* LogReader and LogViewer classes (deprecated in 1.14) have now been removed. |
| | 163 | +* (bug 26033) Added $wgArticleCountMethod to select the method to use to say |
| | 164 | + whether a page is an article or not. $wgUseCommaCount is now deprecated. |
| | 165 | +* $wgEnableDublinCoreRdf and $wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf no longer work in core, |
| | 166 | + and the functionality has been moved to the relevant extensions. See |
| | 167 | + http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DublinCoreRdf and |
| | 168 | + http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CreativeCommonsRdf as appropriate. |
| | 169 | +* (bug 21107) Split error "customcssjsprotected" into separate messages for JS and CSS |
| | 170 | +* Removed $wgCheckCopyrightUpload from DefaultSettings, since the relevant feature |
| | 171 | + was removed in about 1.5. |
| | 172 | +* LogPageValidTypes, LogPageLogName, LogPageLogHeader and LogPageActionText |
| | 173 | + hooks have been removed. |
| | 174 | +* New hook "Collation::factory" to allow extensions to create custom |
| | 175 | + category collations. |
| | 176 | +* $wgGroupPermissions now supports per namespace permissions. |
| | 177 | +* $wgEnableAutoRotation enables or disables auto-rotation. Leaving it set to |
| | 178 | + null will cause MediaWiki to determine if auto-rotation is available. |
| | 179 | + |
| | 180 | +=== New features in 1.18 === |
| | 181 | +* BREAKING CHANGE: action=watch / action=unwatch now requires a token. |
| | 182 | +* BREAKING CHANGE: Article class hierarchy split into WikiPage (backend). |
| | 183 | + and Article (frontend) hierarchies. Several hooks now pass a WikiPage object instead |
| | 184 | + of an Article object. These hooks all use an $article paramater as documented in hooks.txt. |
| | 185 | + Extensions should be updated to account for this, though most won't require any changes. |
| | 186 | +* (bug 27860) Minor edit after clicking 'new section' tab |
| | 187 | + Now the "This is a minor edit" checkbox is not available when you |
| | 188 | + create a page or new section. |
| | 189 | +* (bug 8130) Query pages should limit to content namespaces, not just main |
| | 190 | + namespace. |
| | 191 | +* Special:Contribs now redirects to Special:Contributions. |
| | 192 | +* (bug 6672) Images are now autorotated according to their EXIF orientation. |
| | 193 | + This only affects thumbnails; the source remains unrotated. |
| | 194 | +* (bug 25708) Update case mappings and normalization to Unicode 6.0.0. |
| | 195 | +* New hook ArticlePrepareTextForEdit added, called when preparing text to be |
| | 196 | + saved. |
| | 197 | +* New parser option PreSaveTransform added, allows the pre-save transformation |
| | 198 | + to be selectively disabled. |
| | 199 | +* Alternative to $wgHooks implemented, using the new Hooks class. |
| | 200 | +* Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a |
| | 201 | + thumbnail. |
| | 202 | +* (bug 26870) Add size to {{filepath:}}. |
| | 203 | +* Upload warnings now show a thumbnail of the uploaded file. |
| | 204 | +* Introduced the edittools-upload message, which will be inserted under the |
| | 205 | + upload form instead of edittools if available. |
| | 206 | +* (bug 26285) Extensions will be automatically generated on upload if the user |
| | 207 | + specified a filename without extension. |
| | 208 | +* (bug 26851) Special:UserRights now allows to prefill the reason field |
| | 209 | +* New maintenance script to fix double redirects |
| | 210 | + (maintenance/fixDoubleRedirects.php). |
| | 211 | +* (bug 23315) New body classes to allow easier styling of special pages. |
| | 212 | +* (bug 27159) Make email confirmation code expiration time configurable. |
| | 213 | +* (bug 29047) CSS/JS for each user group is imported from MediaWiki:Group-sysop.js, |
| | 214 | + MediaWiki:Group-autoconfirmed.css, etc. |
| | 215 | +* (bug 24230) Uploads of ZIP types, such as MS Office or OpenOffice can now be |
| | 216 | + safely enabled. A ZIP file reader was added which can scan a ZIP file for |
| | 217 | + potentially dangerous Java applets. This allows applets to be blocked |
| | 218 | + specifically, rather than all ZIP files being blocked. |
| | 219 | +* (bug 2429) Allow selection of associated namespace in recent changes. |
| | 220 | +* (bug 26217) File size is now checked before uploading in HTML5 browsers. |
| | 221 | +* CSS stylesheet MediaWiki:Noscript.css is now loaded for users with JavaScript |
| | 222 | + disabled (enclosed in the head in a <noscript> tag). |
| | 223 | +* Added UserGetLanguageObject hook to change the language used in $wgLang. |
| | 224 | +* (bug 14645) When $wgMiserMode is on, expensive special pages are styled |
| | 225 | + differently (italicized by default) on Special:SpecialPages. |
| | 226 | +* Added $wgAggregateStatsID, which allows UDP stats to be aggregated over |
| | 227 | + several wikis. |
| | 228 | +* When $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes is true, all itemtypes are allowed, not just |
| | 229 | + the three that were defined in the original specification. |
| | 230 | +* (bug 14706) Added support for the Imagick PHP extension. |
| | 231 | +* (bug 18691) Added support for SVG rasterization using the Imagick PHP |
| | 232 | + extension. |
| | 233 | +* (bug 2581, bug 6834) Added links to thumbnail in several resolutions to the |
| | 234 | + file description page. The sizes are set by $wgImageLimits. |
| | 235 | +* (bug 28031) Add pageCount support to ArchivedFile. |
| | 236 | +* (bug 27924) PhpHttpRequest doesn't return response body if HTTP != 200. |
| | 237 | +* Added hook BitmapHandlerTransform to allow extension to transform a file |
| | 238 | + without overriding the entire handler. |
| | 239 | +* The parser now attempts to output markers for editsection tokens and defer the |
| | 240 | + rendering of them post-cache to reduce parser cache fragmentation and ensure |
| | 241 | + skin customizability of edit section links. |
| | 242 | +* (bug 24755) AuthPlugin auto-creation of local accounts can now be aborted by |
| | 243 | + other extensions by handling the 'AbortAutoAccount' hook, similar to the |
| | 244 | + 'AbortNewAccount' triggered by explicit account creations. (They are separate |
| | 245 | + to avoid loops and confusion; auth plugins like CentralAuth need to handle |
| | 246 | + AbortNewAccount separately. |
| | 247 | +* Special:ListFiles is now transcludable. |
| | 248 | +* (bug 13879) Special:Emailuser asks for suitable target user if called without. |
| | 249 | +* (bug 16956) IPTC and XMP metadata now extracted from images. |
| | 250 | +* (bug 23816) A tracking category is now added for any pages with broken images. |
| | 251 | +* (bug 23495) Allow createAndPromote.php to create non-sysop users. |
| | 252 | +* (bug 28916) A way to to toggle mw.config legacy globals settings from |
| | 253 | + LocalSettings.php has been created by introducing $wgLegacyJavaScriptGlobals. |
| | 254 | +* (bug 28503) Support for ircs:// URL protocols. |
| | 255 | +* (bug 26033) It is now possible to count all non-redirect pages in content |
| | 256 | + namespaces as articles. |
| | 257 | +* Images can now be embedded in an XML dump stream using backupDump.php |
| | 258 | + --include-files and can be imported using importDump.php --uploads; |
| | 259 | + furthermore, it can import files from the filesystem using --image-base-path. |
| | 260 | +* Three new hooks in Special:Undelete, 'UndeleteForm::showHistory', |
| | 261 | + 'UndeleteForm::showRevision' and 'UndeleteForm::undelete', so that extensions |
| | 262 | + may override the usage of PageArchive class and replace it with their own |
| | 263 | + class that extends PageArchive. |
| | 264 | +* (bug 28915) Implement QUnit test suite for MediaWiki JavaScript. |
| | 265 | + Also built-in support for distribution through a TestSwarm instance. |
| | 266 | +* (bug 29036) For cascade-protected pages, the mw-textarea-cprotected class is |
| | 267 | + added to the textarea on the edit form. |
| | 268 | +* mw.util.wikiScript has been implemented (like wfScript in GlobalFunctions.php) |
| | 269 | +* (bug 29067) Expose user.tokens (like we do user.options) in ResourceLoader. |
| | 270 | +* New 'Debug' hook used by wfDebug() and wfDebugLog(). |
| | 271 | +* (bug 27655) Require token for watching/unwatching pages) |
| | 272 | +* (bug 28904) (bug 29773) Update jQuery version from 1.4.4 to 1.6.2 (the latest version) |
| | 273 | +* (bug 29441) Expose CapitalLinks config in JS to allow modules to properly |
| | 274 | + handle titles on case-sensitive wikis. |
| | 275 | +* (bug 29397) Implement mw.Title module in core. |
| | 276 | +* In MySQL 4.1.9+ with replication enabled, fetch the slave lag from SHOW SLAVE |
| | 277 | + STATUS instead of SHOW PROCESSLIST. This ensures that lag is reported |
| | 278 | + correctly in the case where there are no write events occurring. Note that |
| | 279 | + the DB user now needs to have the REPLICATION CLIENT privilege if you are |
| | 280 | + using replication. |
| | 281 | +* Language codes in $wgDummyLanguageCodes are now excluded on localization |
| | 282 | + statistics (maintenance/language/transstat.php). |
| | 283 | +* (bug 29586) Make the (next 200) links on categories link directly to |
| | 284 | + the relevant section of the category. |
| | 285 | +* (bug 29109) Allow the automatic edit summary for redirect creation |
| | 286 | + show the first bit of the new redirect page. |
| | 287 | +* (bug 29723) mw.util.wikiGetlink() now defaults to wgPageName. |
| | 288 | +* (bug 29680) Add GetDefaultSortkey hook to override the default sortkey. |
| | 289 | +* (bug 16699) {{#language:}} accepts second parameter to specify the language in |
| | 290 | + which the language name is wanted. Coverage depends on the cldr extension. |
| | 291 | +* (bug 15802) An easy way to look up messages: language qqx which returns |
| | 292 | + the message keys. |
| | 293 | +* (bug 29868) Add support for passing parameters to mw.msg in jquery.localize. |
| | 294 | +* (bug 29558) $wgMiserMode now disables update.php by default. |
| | 295 | +* AjaxCategories: Easily add, edit or delete categories on article pages. |
| | 296 | + Suggests possible categories when typing, all saves are done via AJAX. |
| | 297 | + Supports editing of multiple categories and then saving them in one batch. |
| | 298 | +* $wgAutopromoteOnce was added, allowing for users to be automatically promoted |
| | 299 | + to explicit usergroups. If a group is removed from a user via Special:UserRights, |
| | 300 | + it will not automatically be re-added. Configuration is similar to |
| | 301 | + $wgAutopromote (see DefaultSettings.php). |
| | 302 | +* The PerformRetroactiveAutoblock hook was added to allow overriding or complementing |
| | 303 | + retroactive autoblock handling. This runs when blocking a user with the 'autoblock' option. |
| | 304 | +* MediaWiki now supports using protocol-relative URLs in links, interwiki |
| | 305 | + targets and $wgServer. |
| | 306 | +* Introduced $wgVaryOnXFPForAPI which will cause the API to send |
| | 307 | + Vary: X-Forwarded-Proto headers. |
| | 308 | +* New maintenance script to refresh image metadata (maintenance/refreshImageMetadata.php). |
| | 309 | +* (bug 16428) Include permalink in printable version. |
| | 310 | +* (bug 30722) Add an identity collation that sorts things based on what the |
| | 311 | + unicode code point is (aka pre-1.17 behaviour). |
| | 312 | +* (bug 30940) Add a hook in User:getDefaultOptions. |
| | 313 | + To give extensions a better and more flexible way of providing default |
| | 314 | + values for preferences a hook has been introdiced in User:getDefaultOptions(). |
| | 315 | + Setting preferences in $wgDefaultUserOptions still work fine, but when reading |
