| 8 | 8 | |
| | 9 | +== Changes since 1.7 == |
| | 10 | + |
| | 11 | +* Introduced AjaxResponse object, superceding AjaxCachePolicy |
| | 12 | +* Changes to sajax_do_call: optionally accept an element to fill instead of a |
| | 13 | + callback function; take the target function or element as a third parameter; |
| | 14 | + pass the full XMLHttpRequest object to the handler function, instead of just |
| | 15 | + the resultText value; use HTTP response codes to report errors. |
| | 16 | +* (bug 6562) Removed unmaintained ParserXml.php for now |
| | 17 | +* History paging overlap bug fixed |
| | 18 | +* (bug 6586) Regression in "unblocked" subtitle |

| | 21 | +* Block improvements: Allow blocks on anonymous users only. Optionally allow |
| | 22 | + or disallow account creation from blocked IP addresses. Prevent duplicate |
| | 23 | + blocks. Fixed the problem of expiry and unblocking erroneously affecting |
| | 24 | + multiple blocks. Fixed confusing lack of error message when a blocked user |
| | 25 | + attempts to create an account. Fixed inefficiency of Special:Ipblocklist in |
| | 26 | + the presence of large numbers of blocks; added indexes and implemented an |
| | 27 | + indexed pager. |

| | 29 | +* (bug 6618) Improve permissions/error detection in Special:Lockdb |
| | 30 | +* Quick hack for extension testing: parser test doesn't create new message |
| | 31 | + cache object. |
| | 32 | +* (bug 6299) Maintain parser's revision ID across recursive calls to fix |
| | 33 | + {{REVISIONID}} when Cite extension is used |
| | 34 | +* (bug 6622) Removed deprecated function Image::newFromTitle |
| | 35 | +* (bug 6627) Fix regression in Special:Ipblocklist with table prefix |
| | 36 | +* Removed forced dereferencements (new() returns a reference in PHP5) |
| | 37 | +* Note about $wgUploadSizeWarning using byte |
| | 38 | +* (bug 6592) Add most viewed pages summary to Special:Statistics |
| | 39 | +* Pre-strip characters ignored in IDNs from URLs so they can't be used |
| | 40 | + to break the blacklists for regular URLs |
| | 41 | +* Fix regression in blocking of user accounts |
| | 42 | +* (bug 6635) Fix regression searching for range blocks on Ipblocklist |

| | 44 | +* (bug 6639) Use a consistent default for upload directories |

| | 46 | +* (bug 6642) Don't offer to unlock the database when it isn't locked |
| | 47 | +* cleanupTitles.php changed from --dry-run option to --fix, so default |
| | 48 | + behavior is now a non-invasive check as with namespaceDupes.php |
| | 49 | +* (bug 6660) Fix behaviour of EditPage::blockedPage() when the article does |
| | 50 | + not exist; now doesn't show the source box if the user hasn't provided it |
| | 51 | + (blocked mid-edit) and the page doesn't exist |
| | 52 | +* Improve default value of "blockedtext" |
| | 53 | +* (bug 6680) Added localisation for Dutch bookstore list (nl) |

| | 67 | + or another entry point. |
| | 68 | +* Added DBA cache type, for BDB-style caches. |
| | 69 | +* Removed custom date format functions, replacing them with a format string in |
| | 70 | + the style of PHP's date(). Used string identifiers instead of integer |
| | 71 | + identifiers, in both the language files and user preferences. Migration should |
| | 72 | + be transparent in most cases. |
| | 73 | +* Simplified the initialisation API for LoadBalancer objects. |
| | 74 | +* Removed the broken altencoding feature. |
| | 75 | +* Moved default user options and toggles from Language to User. Language objects |
| | 76 | + are still able to define default preference overrides and extra user toggles, |
| | 77 | + via a slightly different interface. |
| | 78 | +* Don't include the date option in the parser cache rendering hash unless |
| | 79 | + $wgUseDynamicDates is enabled. |

| | 91 | + by all skins. |

| | 93 | + framework and wgAjaxSearch to enable the suggest feature for the search box. |
| | 94 | +* Added experimental installer for extensions. |
| | 95 | + See maintenance/installExtension.php |
