| | 4 | +== MediaWiki 1.17 == |
| | 5 | + |
| | 6 | +=== New installer in 1.17 === |
| | 7 | +MediaWiki 1.17 is shipping with a completely redesigned installer to fix |
| | 8 | +a lot of outstanding bugs, cleanup the code quality, and make it easier to |
| | 9 | +use. Notably, you can now run upgrades from the web without having to move |
| | 10 | +LocalSettings.php. The specific bugs are listed below in the general notes. |
| | 11 | + |
| | 12 | +=== Configuration changes in 1.17 === |
| | 13 | +* DatabaseFunctions.php that was needed for compatibility with pre-1.3 |
| | 14 | + extensions has been removed. |
| | 15 | +* $wgLogAutocreatedAccounts controls whether autocreation of accounts is logged |
| | 16 | + to new users log. |
| | 17 | +* $wgAllowImageTag can be set to true to whitelist the <img> tag in wikitext. |
| | 18 | +* (bug 12797) Add $wgGalleryOptions for adjusting of default gallery display |
| | 19 | + options. |
| | 20 | +* $wgAllowUserCssPrefs option allows disabling CSS-based preferences; which can |
| | 21 | + improve page loading speed. |
| | 22 | +* (bug 22858) $wgLocalStylePath is by default set to the same value as |
| | 23 | + $wgStylePath but should never point to a different domain than the site is |
| | 24 | + on, allowing skins to use .htc files which are not cross-domain friendly. |
| | 25 | +* (bug 20193) Added $wgVectorShowVariantName global configuration variable |
| | 26 | + which causes Vector to render the variants drop-down menu with a label |
| | 27 | + showing the current variant name. This is off by default, pending further |
| | 28 | + research into its user experience implications. |
| | 29 | +* XmlFunctions.php has been removed. Use the Xml or Html classes as appropriate. |
| | 30 | +* Added $wgSQLMode for setting database SQL modes - either performance (null) |
| | 31 | + or other reasons (such as enabling stricter checks) |
| | 32 | +* $wgFileStore has been deprecated. The only usage $wgFileStore['deleted'] has |
| | 33 | + been turned into $wgDeletedDirectory. |
| | 34 | +* $wgDeletedDirectory has been added to specify what directory to place deleted |
| | 35 | + uploads in. |
| | 36 | +* IBM DB2 database no longer uses the db specific $wgDBport_db2 variable but the |
| | 37 | + normal $wgDBport. |
| | 38 | +* The upload link for missing files can now be set separately from the |
| | 39 | + navigation link with $wgUploadMissingFileUrl. |
| | 40 | +* $wgCategoryPrefixedDefaultSortkey was removed and is now always false. This |
| | 41 | + provides more sensible sorting behavior for categories. |
| | 42 | +* Removed unused globals: $wgEnableSerializedMessages, $wgCheckSerialized, |
| | 43 | + $wgUseMemCached, $wgDisableSearchContext, $wgColorErrors, |
| | 44 | + $wgUseZhdaemon, $wgZhdaemonHost and $wgZhdaemonPort. |
| | 45 | +* (bug 24408) The include_path is not modified in the default LocalSettings.php |
| | 46 | +* $wgVectorExtraStyles was removed, and is no longer in use. |
| | 47 | +* $wgLoadScript was added to specify alternative locations for ResourceLoader |
| | 48 | + requests. |
| | 49 | +* $wgResourceLoaderMaxage was added to specify maxage and smaxage times for |
| | 50 | + responses from ResourceLoader based on whether the request's URL contained a |
| | 51 | + version parameter or not. |
| | 52 | +* $wgResourceLoaderDebug was added to specify the default state of debug mode; |
| | 53 | + this will still be overridden with the debug URL parameter a la |
| | 54 | + $wgLanguageCode. |
| | 55 | +* $wgResourceLoaderInlinePrivateModules was added to specify whether private |
| | 56 | + modules such as user.options should be embedded in the HTML output or |
| | 57 | + delivered through a resource loader request, which bypasses server cache (like |
| | 58 | + squid) and checks the user parameter against $wgUser. The former adds more |
| | 59 | + data to all pages, while the latter adds a request which cannot be cached |
| | 60 | + server side. |
| | 61 | +* Removed $wgUpdates for database updates; extension should use |
| | 62 | + DatabaseUpdater::addExtensionUpdate(). |
| | 63 | +* Removed $wgServerName. It doesn't need to be set anymore and is no longer |
| | 64 | + available as input for other configuration items, either. |
| | 65 | +* Remove $wgRemoteUploads. It was not well supported and superseded by |
| | 66 | + $wgUploadNavigationUrl. |
| | 67 | +* (bug 198) $wgUpgradeKey allows unlocking the web installer for upgrades |
| | 68 | + without having to move LocalSettings.php |
| | 69 | +* The FailFunction "error handling" method has now been removed |
| | 70 | +* $wgAdditionalMailParams added to allow setting extra options to mail() calls. |
| | 71 | +* $wgSecureLogin & $wgSecureLoginStickHTTPS to optionaly login using HTTPS |

| | 73 | + with $wgPasswordSender |
| | 74 | +* Sysops now have the "suppressredirect" right by default |
| | 75 | +* (bug 22463) $wgFooterIcons added to allow configuration of the icons shown in |
| | 76 | + the footers of skins. |
| | 77 | +* $wgFileCacheDepth can be used to set the depth of the subdirectory hierarchy |
| | 78 | + used for the file cache. Default value is 2, which matches former behavior |
| | 79 | +* It's no longer necessary for LocalSettings.php to include DefaultSettings.php. |
| | 80 | +* It's no longer necessary to set $wgCacheEpoch to the file modification time |
| | 81 | + of LocalSettings.php, in LocalSettings.php itself. Instead, this is done |
| | 82 | + automatically if $wgInvalidateCacheOnLocalSettingsChange is true (which is |
| | 83 | + the default). |
| | 84 | +* (bug 26253) $wgPostCommitUpdateList has been removed |
| | 85 | + |
| | 86 | +=== New features in 1.17 === |
| | 87 | +* (bug 10183) Users can now add personal styles and scripts to all skins via |
| | 88 | + User:<name>/common.css and /common.js (if user css/js is enabled). |

| | 91 | + apply the names of the individual files within the gallery. |

| | 93 | + if they fix <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516293>. |
| | 94 | +* Support git:// and mms:// protocols by default for external links. |
| | 95 | +* (bug 15810) Blocked admins can no longer unblock themselves without the |
| | 96 | + 'unblockself' permission (which they have by default). |
| | 97 | +* (bug 18499) Added "enhanced" URL parameter to switch between old and enhanced |
| | 98 | + changes list. |

| 23 | | -MediaWiki 1.17 is shipping with a completely redesigned installer to fix |
| 24 | | -a lot of outstanding bugs, cleanup the code quality, and make it easier to |
| 25 | | -use. Notably, you can now run upgrades from the web without having to move |

| | 22 | +=== Configuration changes in 1.18 === |
| 27 | 23 | |
| 28 | | -=== Configuration changes in 1.17 === |
| 29 | | -* DatabaseFunctions.php that was needed for compatibility with pre-1.3 |
| 30 | | - extensions has been removed. |
| 31 | | -* $wgLogAutocreatedAccounts controls whether autocreation of accounts is logged |
| 32 | | - to new users log. |
| 33 | | -* $wgAllowImageTag can be set to true to whitelist the <img> tag in wikitext. |
| 34 | | -* (bug 12797) Add $wgGalleryOptions for adjusting of default gallery display |
| 35 | | - options. |
| 36 | | -* $wgAllowUserCssPrefs option allows disabling CSS-based preferences; which can |
| 37 | | - improve page loading speed. |
| 38 | | -* (bug 22858) $wgLocalStylePath is by default set to the same value as |
| 39 | | - $wgStylePath but should never point to a different domain than the site is |
| 40 | | - on, allowing skins to use .htc files which are not cross-domain friendly. |
| 41 | | -* (bug 20193) Added $wgVectorShowVariantName global configuration variable |
| 42 | | - which causes Vector to render the variants drop-down menu with a label |
| 43 | | - showing the current variant name. This is off by default, pending further |
| 44 | | - research into its user experience implications. |
| 45 | | -* XmlFunctions.php has been removed. Use the Xml or Html classes as appropriate. |
| 46 | | -* Added $wgSQLMode for setting database SQL modes - either performance (null) |
| 47 | | - or other reasons (such as enabling stricter checks) |
| 48 | | -* $wgFileStore has been deprecated. The only usage $wgFileStore['deleted'] has |
| 49 | | - been turned into $wgDeletedDirectory. |
