| | 4 | +== MediaWiki 1.14 == |
| 4 | 5 | |
| | 6 | +=== Configuration changes in 1.14 === |
| | 7 | + |
| | 8 | +* $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl is an array of namespaces to be exempt from |
| | 9 | + the effect of the new __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words. (Default: null, ex- |
| | 10 | + empt all content namespaces.) |
| | 11 | +* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4 |
| | 12 | + has been $wgSearchForwardUrl. |
| | 13 | +* (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either |
| | 14 | + $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent |
| | 15 | + Changes feed that appears on all pages. |
| | 16 | +* $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for |
| | 17 | + SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from |
| | 18 | + $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki. |
| | 19 | +* $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like |
| | 20 | + $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified |
| | 21 | + group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves. |
| | 22 | + Backwards compatibility is maintained. |
| | 23 | +* $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic |
| | 24 | + word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This |
| | 25 | + is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title. |
| | 26 | +* $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions. |
| | 27 | +* $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead. |
| | 28 | +* Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people |
| | 29 | + with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection |
| | 30 | + is not required. |
| | 31 | +* $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings. |
| | 32 | +* Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image |
| | 33 | + whitelist on or off. |
| | 34 | +* Added $wgRenderHashAppend to append some string to the parser cache and the |
| | 35 | + sitenotice cache keys. |
| | 36 | +* $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold is now a positive integer by default, |
| | 37 | +* (bug 16006) $wgEnableWriteAPI is now true by default. Authorized can perform |
| | 38 | + write actions using the API. |
| | 39 | +* Added $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix which adds an interwiki prefix |
| | 40 | + ($wgLocalInterwiki) onto the page names in the UDP feed. |
| | 41 | +* Added $wgAllowUserSkin to let the wiki's owner disable user selectable skins |
| | 42 | + on the wiki. If it's set to true, then the skin used will *always* be |
| | 43 | + $wgDefaultSkin. |
| | 44 | +* Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based |
| | 45 | + on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username) |
| | 46 | +* Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in |
| | 47 | + ForeignAPIRepo) |
| | 48 | +* (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File. |
| | 49 | + For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may |
| | 50 | + need to be updated. |
| | 51 | +* The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and |
| | 52 | + NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility, |
| | 53 | + and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older. |
| | 54 | +* MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by |
| | 55 | + using $wgUsePrivateIPs. |
| | 56 | +* The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in |
| | 57 | + Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions |
| | 58 | + to customize the watchlist database query. |
| | 59 | + |
| | 60 | +=== Migrated extensions === |
| | 61 | +The following extensions are migrated into MediaWiki 1.14: |
| | 62 | + |
| | 63 | +* Special:DeletedContributions to show deleted user contributions (was |
| | 64 | + extension DeletedContributions) |
| | 65 | +* Special:Log/newusers recording new users (was extension Newuserlog) |
| | 66 | +* Special:LinkSearch to search for external links (was extension LinkSearch) |
| | 67 | +* RenderHash |
| | 68 | +* NoMoveUserPages |
| | 69 | +* UniversalEditButton |
| | 70 | + |
| | 71 | +=== New features in 1.14 === |
| | 72 | + |
| | 73 | +* New URL syntaxes for Special:ListUsers - 'Special:ListUsers/USER' and |
| | 74 | + 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP/USER', in addition to the older syntax |
| | 75 | + 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP' where GROUP is a valid group name. |
| | 76 | +* Configurable per-namespace and per-page notices for the edit form, |
| | 77 | + respectively MediaWiki:Editnotice-# where # is the namespace number, and |
| | 78 | + MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-PAGENAME where # is the page's namespace number and |
| | 79 | + PAGENAME is the page name minus the namespace prefix. |
| | 80 | +* (bug 8068) New __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ magic words allow user control of |
| | 81 | + search engine indexing on a per-article basis. |
| | 82 | +* Handheld stylesheet options |
| | 83 | +* Added 'DoEditSectionLink' hook as a cleaner unified version of the old |
| | 84 | + 'EditSectionLink' and 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hooks. Note that the |
| | 85 | + 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is |
| | 86 | + run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work |
| | 87 | + if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain). |
| | 88 | +* Signature (~~~~) "cleaning", i.e. template removal, can be disabled with |
| | 89 | + $wgCleanSignatures=false |
| | 90 | +* Extensions can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook to modify the content of the |
| | 91 | + sidebar and add custom portlets to it |
| | 92 | +* Added 'MakeGlobalVariablesScript' hook for extensions to be able to add vari- |
| | 93 | + ables into into the output of Skin::makeVariablesScript |

| | 98 | + the main page to be customized |
| | 99 | +* Added $wgDisableTitleConversion to disabling the conversion for all pages on |
| | 100 | + the wiki |
| | 101 | +* Added 'noconvertlink' toggle that can be set per user preferences, also |
| | 102 | + added 'convertlink=no|yes' on GET requests whether have the link titles |
| | 103 | + being converted or not |
| | 104 | +* (bug 14921) Special:Contributions/: add user name to <title> |
| | 105 | + Patch by Emufarmers |
| | 106 | +* Unescape more "safe" characters when producing URLs, for added prettiness |
| | 107 | +* Introduced a new hook 'SkinAfterContent' that allows extensions to add text |
| | 108 | + after the page content and article metadata. Updated all skins and skin |
| | 109 | + templates to work with that hook. |
| | 110 | +* (bug 14929) removeUnusedAccounts.php now supports 'ignore-touched' and |
| | 111 | + 'ignore-groups'. Patch by Louperivois |

| | 120 | + groups may be added or removed via the Special:UserRights interface. |
| | 121 | +* HTML entities like now work (are not escaped) in edit summaries. |
| | 122 | +* (bug 13815) In the comment for page moves, use the colon-separator message |

| | 159 | + solutions such as CSS-based overlays and ImageMap. |
| | 160 | +* (bug 368) Don't use caption for alt attribute; allow manual specification |
| | 161 | + using new "alt=" parameter for images |
| | 162 | +* (bug 44) The {{ns:}} core parser function now also accepts localized |
| | 163 | + namespace names and aliases; also, its output now uses spaces instead of |
| | 164 | + underscores to match the behavior of the {{NAMESPACE}} magic word |
| | 165 | +* Added the ability to display user edit counts in Special:ListUsers. Off by |
| | 166 | + default, enabled with $wgEdititis = true (named after the medical condition |
| | 167 | + marked by unhealthy obsession with edit counts). |
| | 168 | +* Added a file cache to the parser to improve page rendering time on pages with |
| | 169 | + several uses of the same image. |

| | 171 | + wiki is set to read-only mode. |
| | 172 | +* Added a call to the 'UnwatchArticleComplete' hook to the watchlist editor. |
| | 173 | + This should make it so that ALL user-accessible methods of removing a page |

| | 438 | + for clarity over "previous/next" |
| | 439 | +* (bug 16612) Fixed "noprint" class for Modern skin print style |
| | 440 | +* Section anchors now have an "id" attribute as well as a "name" attribute, |
| | 441 | + even when Tidy is not used |

| | 458 | + |
| | 459 | +* Registration time of users registered before the DB field was created is now |
| | 460 | + shown as empty instead of the current time. |
| | 461 | +* API search now falls back to fulltext search by default when using Lucene |
| | 462 | + or other engine which doesn't support a separate title search function. |

| 5 | 587 | == MediaWiki 1.13 == |
| 6 | 588 | |
| | 589 | +== Changes since 1.13.2 == |
| | 590 | + |
| | 591 | +David Remahl of Apple's Product Security team has identified a number of |
| | 592 | +security issues in previous releases of MediaWiki. Subsequent analysis by the |
| | 593 | +MediaWiki development team expanded the scope of these vulnerabilities. The |
| | 594 | +issues with a significant impact are as follows: |
| | 595 | + |
| | 596 | +* An XSS vulnerability affecting all MediaWiki installations between 1.13.0 and |
| | 597 | + 1.13.2. [CVE-2008-5249] |
| | 598 | +* A local script injection vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer clients for |
| | 599 | + all MediaWiki installations with uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250] |
| | 600 | +* A local script injection vulnerability affecting clients with SVG scripting |
| | 601 | + capability (such as Firefox 1.5+), for all MediaWiki installations with SVG |
| | 602 | + uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250] |
| | 603 | +* A CSRF vulnerability affecting the Special:Import feature, for all MediaWiki |
| | 604 | + installations since the feature was introduced in 1.3.0. [CVE-2008-5252] |
| | 605 | + |
| | 606 | +XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to steal an |
| | 607 | +authorised user's login session, and to act as that user on the wiki. The |
| | 608 | +authorised user must visit a web page controlled by the attacker in order to |
| | 609 | +activate the attack. Intranet wikis are vulnerable if the attacker can |
| | 610 | +determine the intranet URL. |
| | 611 | + |
| | 612 | +Local script injection vulnerabilities are like XSS vulnerabilities, except |
| | 613 | +that the attacker must have an account on the local wiki, and there is no |
| | 614 | +external site involved. The attacker uploads a script to the wiki, which another |
| | 615 | +user is tricked into executing, with the effect that the attacker is able to act |
| | 616 | +as the privileged user. |
| | 617 | + |
| | 618 | +CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to act as an authorised user on the wiki, |
| | 619 | +but unlike an XSS vulnerability, the attacker can only act as the user in a |
| | 620 | +specific and restricted way. The present CSRF vulnerability allows pages to be |
| | 621 | +edited, with forged revision histories. Like an XSS vulnerability, the |
| | 622 | +authorised user must visit the malicious web page to activate the attack. |
| | 623 | + |
| | 624 | +These four vulnerabilities are all fixed in this release. |
| | 625 | + |
| | 626 | +David Remahl also reminded us of some security-related configuration issues: |
| | 627 | + |
| | 628 | +* By default, MediaWiki stores a backup of deleted images in the images/deleted |
| | 629 | + directory. If you do not want these images to be publically accessible, make |
| | 630 | + sure this directory is not accessible from the web. MediaWiki takes some steps |
| | 631 | + to avoid leaking these images, but these measures are not perfect. |
| | 632 | +* Set display_errors=off in your php.ini to avoid path disclosure via PHP fatal |
| | 633 | + errors. This is the default on most shared web hosts. |
| | 634 | +* Enabling MediaWiki's debugging features, such as $wgShowExceptionDetails, may |
| | 635 | + lead to path disclosure. |
| | 636 | + |
| | 637 | +Other changes in this release: |
| | 638 | + |
| | 639 | +* Avoid fatal error in profileinfo.php when not configured. |
| | 640 | +* Add a .htaccess to deleted images directory for additional protection against |
| | 641 | + exposure of deleted files with known SHA-1 hashes on default installations. |
| | 642 | +* Avoid streaming uploaded files to the user via index.php. This allows |
| | 643 | + security-conscious users to serve uploaded files via a different domain, and |
| | 644 | + thus client-side scripts executed from that domain cannot access the login |
| | 645 | + cookies. Affects Special:Undelete, img_auth.php and thumb.php. |
| | 646 | +* When streaming files via index.php, use the MIME type detected from the |
| | 647 | + file extension, not from the data. This reduces the XSS attack surface. |
| | 648 | +* Blacklist redirects via Special:Filepath. Such redirects exacerbate any |
| | 649 | + XSS vulnerabilities involving uploads of files containing scripts. |
| | 650 | +* Internationalisation updates. |
| | 651 | + |
| | 652 | +== Changes since 1.13.1 == |
| | 653 | + |
| | 654 | +* Security: Work around misconfiguration by requiring strict comparisons for |
| | 655 | + in_array in User::isAllowed(). |

| | 22 | +=== Configuration changes in 1.15 === |
| 23 | 23 | |
| 24 | | -* $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl is an array of namespaces to be exempt from |
| 25 | | - the effect of the new __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words. (Default: null, ex- |
| 26 | | - empt all content namespaces.) |
| 27 | | -* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4 |
| 28 | | - has been $wgSearchForwardUrl. |
| 29 | | -* (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either |
| 30 | | - $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent |
| 31 | | - Changes feed that appears on all pages. |
| 32 | | -* $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for |
| 33 | | - SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from |
| 34 | | - $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki. |
| 35 | | -* $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like |
| 36 | | - $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified |
| 37 | | - group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves. |
| 38 | | - Backwards compatibility is maintained. |
| 39 | | -* $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic |
| 40 | | - word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This |
| 41 | | - is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title. |
| 42 | | -* $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions. |
| 43 | | -* $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead. |
| 44 | | -* Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people |
| 45 | | - with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection |
| 46 | | - is not required. |
| 47 | | -* $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings. |
| 48 | | -* Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image |
| 49 | | - whitelist on or off. |
| 50 | | -* Added $wgRenderHashAppend to append some string to the parser cache and the |
| 51 | | - sitenotice cache keys. |
| 52 | | -* $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold is now a positive integer by default, |
| 53 | | -* (bug 16006) $wgEnableWriteAPI is now true by default. Authorized can perform |
| 54 | | - write actions using the API. |
| 55 | | -* Added $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix which adds an interwiki prefix |
| 56 | | - ($wgLocalInterwiki) onto the page names in the UDP feed. |
| 57 | | -* Added $wgAllowUserSkin to let the wiki's owner disable user selectable skins |
| 58 | | - on the wiki. If it's set to true, then the skin used will *always* be |
| 59 | | - $wgDefaultSkin. |
| 60 | | -* Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based |
| 61 | | - on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username) |
| 62 | | -* Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in |
| 63 | | - ForeignAPIRepo) |
| 64 | | -* (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File. |
| 65 | | - For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may |
| 66 | | - need to be updated. |
| 67 | | -* The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and |
| 68 | | - NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility, |
| 69 | | - and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older. |
| 70 | | -* MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by |
| 71 | | - using $wgUsePrivateIPs. |
| 72 | | -* The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in |
| 73 | | - Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions |
| 74 | | - to customize the watchlist database query. |
| 75 | 24 | * Added $wgNewPasswordExpiry, to specify an expiry time (in seconds) to |
| 76 | 25 | tempoary passwords |

| 103 | | - 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is |
| 104 | | - run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work |
| 105 | | - if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain). |
| 106 | | -* Signature (~~~~) "cleaning", i.e. template removal, can be disabled with |
| 107 | | - $wgCleanSignatures=false |

| 127 | | - templates to work with that hook. |

| 183 | | -* Added the ability to display user edit counts in Special:ListUsers. Off by |
| 184 | | - default, enabled with $wgEdititis = true (named after the medical condition |
