| 55 | | - |
| 56 | | -If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure |
| 57 | | -new database fields are filled with data. |
| 58 | | - |
| 59 | | -If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database |
| 60 | | -changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could |
| 61 | | -break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading! |
| 62 | | - |
| 63 | | -See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions. |

| | 2 | += MediaWiki release notes = |
| | 3 | + |
| | 4 | +Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals |
| | 5 | +setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it '''off''' if you can. |
| | 6 | + |
| | 7 | +== MediaWiki 1.18 == |
| | 8 | + |
| | 9 | +THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET |
| | 10 | + |
| | 11 | +MediaWiki 1.18 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in |
| | 12 | +production. |
| | 13 | + |
| | 14 | +=== Configuration changes in 1.18 === |
| | 15 | +* The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with |
| | 16 | + WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions. |
| | 17 | +* $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined |
| | 18 | + login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login |
| | 19 | + and create account links. |
| | 20 | +* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in |
| | 21 | + $wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for |
| | 22 | + $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try |
| | 23 | + loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook. |
| | 24 | +* $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit |
| | 25 | + per upload type. |
| | 26 | +* $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set |
| | 27 | + $wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0; |
| | 28 | +* OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed |
| | 29 | + by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false. |
| | 30 | +* Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins |
| | 31 | + should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate. |
| | 32 | +* The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old |
| | 33 | + Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with |
| | 34 | + $wgLegacyEncoding set. |
| | 35 | +* (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we |
| | 36 | + look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage. |
| | 37 | +* $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed. |
| | 38 | + Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the |
| | 39 | + same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to |
| | 40 | + replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality. |
| | 41 | +* The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box |
| | 42 | + makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation" |
| | 43 | + and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk |
| | 44 | + edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block |
| | 45 | + anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings |
| | 46 | + remain the same. |
| | 47 | +* Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which |
| | 48 | + will probably break screen-scraping bots. |
| | 49 | +* (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default. |
| | 50 | + $wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default. |
| | 51 | +* (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least |
| | 52 | + *appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the |
| | 53 | + ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the |
| | 54 | + output. |
| | 55 | +* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable |
| | 56 | + math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from |
| | 57 | + http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php: |
| | 58 | + require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"; |
| | 59 | +* $wgProfiler is now a configuration array, see StartProfiler.sample for |
| | 60 | + details. |
| | 61 | +* $wgProfiling has been removed. |
| | 62 | +* The spyc library is now no longer included in phase3. |
| | 63 | +* (bug 28343) Unused preferences contextlines/contextchars have been removed |
| | 64 | +* $wgSkinExtensionFunctions has been removed. Use $wgExtensionFunctions instead. |
| | 65 | + |
| | 66 | +=== New features in 1.18 === |
| | 67 | +* (bug 8130) Query pages should limit to content namespaces, not just main |
| | 68 | + namespace. |
| | 69 | +* Search suggestions (other than in the Vector skin) will now use the HTML5 |
| | 70 | + datalist feature where supported, currently only Firefox 4. |
| | 71 | +* Special:Contribs now redirects to Special:Contributions. |
| | 72 | +* (bug 6672) Images are now autorotated according to their EXIF orientation. |
| | 73 | + This only affects thumbnails; the source remains unrotated. |
| | 74 | +* (bug 25708) Update case mappings and normalization to Unicode 6.0.0 |
| | 75 | +* New hook ArticlePrepareTextForEdit added, called when preparing text to be |
| | 76 | + saved. |
| | 77 | +* New parser option PreSaveTransform added, allows the pre-save transformation |
| | 78 | + to be selectively disabled. |
| | 79 | +* Alternative to $wgHooks implemented, using the new Hooks class. |
| | 80 | +* Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a |
| | 81 | + thumbnail. |
| | 82 | +* (bug 26870) Add size to {{filepath:}}. |
| | 83 | +* Upload warnings now show a thumbnail of the uploaded file. |
| | 84 | +* Introduced the edittools-upload message, which will be inserted under the |
| | 85 | + upload form instead of edittools if available. |
| | 86 | +* (bug 26285) Extensions will be automatically generated on upload if the user |
| | 87 | + specified a filename without extension. |
| | 88 | +* (bug 26851) Special:UserRights now allows to prefill the reason field |
| | 89 | +* New maintenance script to fix double redirects |
| | 90 | + (maintenance/fixDoubleRedirects.php). |
| | 91 | +* (bug 23315) New body classes to allow easier styling of special pages. |
| | 92 | +* (bug 27159) Make email confirmation code expiration time configurable. |
| | 93 | +* CSS/JS for each user group is imported from MediaWiki:Sysop.js, |
| | 94 | + MediaWiki:Autoconfirmed.css, etc. |
| | 95 | +* (bug 24230) Uploads of ZIP types, such as MS Office or OpenOffice can now be |
| | 96 | + safely enabled. A ZIP file reader was added which can scan a ZIP file for |
| | 97 | + potentially dangerous Java applets. This allows applets to be blocked |
| | 98 | + specifically, rather than all ZIP files being blocked. |
| | 99 | +* (bug 2429) Allow selection of associated namespace in recent changes. |
| | 100 | +* (bug 26217) File size is now checked before uploading in HTML5 browsers. |
| | 101 | +* CSS stylesheet MediaWiki:Noscript.css is now loaded for users with JavaScript |
| | 102 | + disabled (enclosed in the head in a <noscript> tag). |
| | 103 | +* Added UserGetLanguageObject hook to change the language used in $wgLang. |
| | 104 | +* (bug 14645) When $wgMiserMode is on, expensive special pages are styled |
| | 105 | + differently (italicized by default) on Special:SpecialPages. |
| | 106 | +* Added $wgAggregateStatsID, which allows UDP stats to be aggregated over |
| | 107 | + several wikis. |
| | 108 | +* When $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes is true, all itemtypes are allowed, not just |
| | 109 | + the three that were defined in the original specification. |
| | 110 | +* (bug 14706) Added support for the Imagick PHP extension. |
| | 111 | +* (bug 18691) Added support for SVG rasterization using the Imagick PHP |
| | 112 | + extension. |
| | 113 | +* (bug 2581, bug 6834) Added links to thumbnail in several resolutions to the |
| | 114 | + file description page. The sizes are set by $wgImageLimits. |
| | 115 | +* (bug 28031) Add pageCount support to ArchivedFile. |
| | 116 | +* (bug 27924) PhpHttpRequest doesn't return response body if HTTP != 200. |
| | 117 | +* Added hook BitmapHandlerTransform to allow extension to transform a file |
| | 118 | + without overriding the entire handler. |
| | 119 | +* The parser now attempts to output markers for editsection tokens and defer the |
| | 120 | + rendering of them post-cache to reduce parser cache fragmentation and ensure |
| | 121 | + skin customizability of edit section links. |
| | 122 | +* (bug 24755) AuthPlugin auto-creation of local accounts can now be aborted by |
| | 123 | + other extensions by handling the 'AbortAutoAccount' hook, similar to the |
| | 124 | + 'AbortNewAccount' triggered by explicit account creations. (They are separate |
| | 125 | + to avoid loops and confusion; auth plugins like CentralAuth need to handle |
| | 126 | + AbortNewAccount separately. |
| | 127 | +* Special:ListFiles is now transcludable. |
| | 128 | +* (bug 13879) Special:Emailuser asks for suitable target user if called without. |
| | 129 | +* (bug 16956) IPTC and XMP metadata now extracted from images. |
| | 130 | +* (bug 23816) A tracking category is now added for any pages with broken images. |
| | 131 | +* (bug 23495) Allow createAndPromote.php to create non-sysop users |
| | 132 | + |
| | 133 | +=== Bug fixes in 1.18 === |
| | 134 | +* (bug 23119) WikiError class and subclasses are now marked as deprecated. |
| | 135 | +* (bug 10871) Javascript and CSS pages in MediaWiki namespace are no longer |
| | 136 | + treated as wikitext on preview. |
| | 137 | +* (bug 22753) Output from update.php is more clear when things changed, entries |
| | 138 | + indicating nothing changed are now all prefixed by "...". |
| | 139 | +* Page existence is now not revealed (in the colour of the tabs) to users who |
| | 140 | + cannot read the page in question. |
| | 141 | +* (bug 19006) {{REVISIONUSER}} no longer acts like {{CURRENTUSER}} in some |

| | 152 | + pages to be queried via the API and Special:ProtectedPages, and allowing |
| | 153 | + disabling upload protection by removing it from $wgRestrictionTypes. |
| | 154 | +* If an edit summary exceeds 250 bytes and is truncated, add an ellipse. |
| | 155 | +* (bug 26638) Database error pages display correctly in RTL languages. |
| | 156 | +* (bug 26187) Confirmrecreate no longer parses the edit summary. |
| | 157 | +* (bug 25506) Exception is thrown if OutputPage::parse is called inside a tag |
| | 158 | + hook, which would reset parser state. |
| | 159 | +* (bug 26208) Mark directionality of some interlanguage links. |
| | 160 | +* (bug 26034) Make the "View / Read" tab in content_navigation style tabs remain |

| | 369 | +=== Languages updated in 1.18 === |
| | 370 | + |
| | 371 | +MediaWiki supports over 330 languages. Many localisations are updated |
| | 372 | +regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as |
| | 373 | +changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports. |
| | 374 | + |

| | 394 | + |
| | 395 | +== Compatibility == |
| | 396 | + |
| | 397 | +MediaWiki 1.18 requires PHP 5.2.3. PHP 4 is no longer supported. |
| | 398 | + |
| | 399 | +MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but |
| | 400 | +support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for IBM |
| | 401 | +DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. |
| | 402 | + |
| | 403 | +The supported versions are: |
| | 404 | + |
| | 405 | +* MySQL 4.0 or later |
| | 406 | +* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later |
| | 407 | +* SQLite 3 |
| | 408 | + |
| | 409 | +== Upgrading == |
| | 410 | + |
| | 411 | +1.18 has several database changes since 1.17, and will not work without schema |
| | 412 | +updates. |
| | 413 | + |
| | 414 | +If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons |
| | 415 | +repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise |
| | 416 | +due to database schema changes. |
| | 417 | + |
| | 418 | +If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure |
| | 419 | +new database fields are filled with data. |
| | 420 | + |
| | 421 | +If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database |
| | 422 | +changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could |
| | 423 | +break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading! |
| | 424 | + |
| | 425 | +See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions. |
| | 426 | + |

| 4 | | -== MediaWiki 1.18 == |
| 5 | | - |
| 6 | | -THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET |
| 7 | | - |
| 8 | | -MediaWiki 1.18 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in |
| 9 | | -production. |
| 10 | | - |
| 11 | | -=== Configuration changes in 1.18 === |
| 12 | | -* The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with |
| 13 | | - WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions. |
| 14 | | -* $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined |
| 15 | | - login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login |
| 16 | | - and create account links. |
| 17 | | -* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in |
| 18 | | - $wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for |
| 19 | | - $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try |
| 20 | | - loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook. |
| 21 | | -* $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit |
| 22 | | - per upload type. |
| 23 | | -* $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set |
| 24 | | - $wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0; |
| 25 | | -* OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed |
| 26 | | - by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false. |
| 27 | | -* Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins |
| 28 | | - should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate. |
| 29 | | -* The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old |
| 30 | | - Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with |
| 31 | | - $wgLegacyEncoding set. |
| 32 | | -* (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we |
| 33 | | - look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage. |
| 34 | | -* $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed. |
| 35 | | - Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the |
| 36 | | - same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to |
| 37 | | - replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality. |
| 38 | | -* The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box |
| 39 | | - makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation" |
| 40 | | - and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk |
| 41 | | - edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block |
| 42 | | - anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings |
| 43 | | - remain the same. |
| 44 | | -* Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which |
| 45 | | - will probably break screen-scraping bots. |
| 46 | | -* (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default. |
| 47 | | - $wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default. |
| 48 | | -* (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least |
| 49 | | - *appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the |
| 50 | | - ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the |
| 51 | | - output. |
| 52 | | -* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable |
| 53 | | - math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from |

| 3 | | - |
| 4 | | -Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals |
| 5 | | -setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it '''off''' if you can. |
| 6 | | - |
| 7 | | -== MediaWiki 1.18 == |
| 8 | | - |
| 9 | | -THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET |
| 10 | | - |
| 11 | | -MediaWiki 1.18 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in |
| 12 | | -production. |
| 13 | | - |
| 14 | | -=== Configuration changes in 1.18 === |
| 15 | | -* The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with |
| 16 | | - WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions. |
| 17 | | -* $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined |
| 18 | | - login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login |
| 19 | | - and create account links. |
| 20 | | -* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in |
| 21 | | - $wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for |
| 22 | | - $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try |
| 23 | | - loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook. |
| 24 | | -* $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit |
| 25 | | - per upload type. |
| 26 | | -* $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set |
| 27 | | - $wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0; |
| 28 | | -* OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed |
| 29 | | - by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false. |
| 30 | | -* Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins |
| 31 | | - should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate. |
| 32 | | -* The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old |
| 33 | | - Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with |
| 34 | | - $wgLegacyEncoding set. |
| 35 | | -* (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we |
| 36 | | - look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage. |
| 37 | | -* $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed. |
| 38 | | - Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the |
| 39 | | - same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to |
| 40 | | - replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality. |
| 41 | | -* The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box |
| 42 | | - makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation" |
| 43 | | - and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk |
| 44 | | - edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block |
| 45 | | - anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings |
| 46 | | - remain the same. |
| 47 | | -* Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which |
| 48 | | - will probably break screen-scraping bots. |
| 49 | | -* (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default. |
| 50 | | - $wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default. |
| 51 | | -* (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least |
| 52 | | - *appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the |
| 53 | | - ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the |
| 54 | | - output. |
| 55 | | -* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable |
| 56 | | - math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from |
| 57 | | - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php: |
| 58 | | - require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"; |
| 59 | | -* $wgProfiler is now a configuration array, see StartProfiler.sample for |
| 60 | | - details. |
| 61 | | -* $wgProfiling has been removed. |
| 62 | | -* The spyc library is now no longer included in phase3. |
| 63 | | -* (bug 28343) Unused preferences contextlines/contextchars have been removed |
| 64 | | -* $wgSkinExtensionFunctions has been removed. Use $wgExtensionFunctions instead. |
| 65 | | - |
| 66 | | -=== New features in 1.18 === |
| 67 | | -* (bug 8130) Query pages should limit to content namespaces, not just main |
| 68 | | - namespace. |

| 70 | | - datalist feature where supported, currently only Firefox 4. |
| 71 | | -* Special:Contribs now redirects to Special:Contributions. |
| 72 | | -* (bug 6672) Images are now autorotated according to their EXIF orientation. |
| 73 | | - This only affects thumbnails; the source remains unrotated. |
| 74 | | -* (bug 25708) Update case mappings and normalization to Unicode 6.0.0 |
| 75 | | -* New hook ArticlePrepareTextForEdit added, called when preparing text to be |

| 78 | | - to be selectively disabled. |
| 79 | | -* Alternative to $wgHooks implemented, using the new Hooks class. |
| 80 | | -* Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a |
| 81 | | - thumbnail. |
| 82 | | -* (bug 26870) Add size to {{filepath:}}. |
| 83 | | -* Upload warnings now show a thumbnail of the uploaded file. |

| 94 | | - MediaWiki:Autoconfirmed.css, etc. |
| 95 | | -* (bug 24230) Uploads of ZIP types, such as MS Office or OpenOffice can now be |
| 96 | | - safely enabled. A ZIP file reader was added which can scan a ZIP file for |
| 97 | | - potentially dangerous Java applets. This allows applets to be blocked |
| 98 | | - specifically, rather than all ZIP files being blocked. |
| 99 | | -* (bug 2429) Allow selection of associated namespace in recent changes. |
| 100 | | -* (bug 26217) File size is now checked before uploading in HTML5 browsers. |
| 101 | | -* CSS stylesheet MediaWiki:Noscript.css is now loaded for users with JavaScript |
| 102 | | - disabled (enclosed in the head in a <noscript> tag). |
| 103 | | -* Added UserGetLanguageObject hook to change the language used in $wgLang. |
| 104 | | -* (bug 14645) When $wgMiserMode is on, expensive special pages are styled |

| 107 | | - several wikis. |
| 108 | | -* When $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes is true, all itemtypes are allowed, not just |

| 116 | | -* (bug 27924) PhpHttpRequest doesn't return response body if HTTP != 200. |
| 117 | | -* Added hook BitmapHandlerTransform to allow extension to transform a file |
| 118 | | - without overriding the entire handler. |
| 119 | | -* The parser now attempts to output markers for editsection tokens and defer the |
| 120 | | - rendering of them post-cache to reduce parser cache fragmentation and ensure |
| 121 | | - skin customizability of edit section links. |
| 122 | | -* (bug 24755) AuthPlugin auto-creation of local accounts can now be aborted by |
| 123 | | - other extensions by handling the 'AbortAutoAccount' hook, similar to the |
| 124 | | - 'AbortNewAccount' triggered by explicit account creations. (They are separate |
| 125 | | - to avoid loops and confusion; auth plugins like CentralAuth need to handle |
| 126 | | - AbortNewAccount separately. |
| 127 | | -* Special:ListFiles is now transcludable. |
| 128 | | -* (bug 13879) Special:Emailuser asks for suitable target user if called without. |
| 129 | | -* (bug 16956) IPTC and XMP metadata now extracted from images. |

| 398 | | - |
| 399 | | -MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but |
| 400 | | -support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for IBM |
| 401 | | -DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. |

| 409 | | -== Upgrading == |
| 410 | | - |
| 411 | | -1.18 has several database changes since 1.17, and will not work without schema |
| 412 | | -updates. |
| 413 | | - |
| 414 | | -If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons |
| 415 | | -repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise |
| 416 | | -due to database schema changes. |
| 417 | | - |
| 418 | | -If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure |
| 419 | | -new database fields are filled with data. |
| 420 | | - |
| 421 | | -If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database |
| 422 | | -changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could |
| 423 | | -break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading! |
| 424 | | - |
| 425 | | -See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions. |
| 426 | | - |
| 427 | | -For notes on 1.17.x and older releases, see HISTORY. |

| | 2 | += MediaWiki release notes = |
| | 3 | + |
| | 4 | +Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals |
| | 5 | +setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it '''off''' if you can. |
| | 6 | + |
| | 7 | +== MediaWiki 1.18 == |
| | 8 | + |
| | 9 | +THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET |
| | 10 | + |
| | 11 | +MediaWiki 1.18 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in |
| | 12 | +production. |
| | 13 | + |
| | 14 | +=== Configuration changes in 1.18 === |
| | 15 | +* The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with |
| | 16 | + WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions. |
| | 17 | +* $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined |
| | 18 | + login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login |
| | 19 | + and create account links. |
| | 20 | +* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in |
| | 21 | + $wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for |
| | 22 | + $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try |
| | 23 | + loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook. |
| | 24 | +* $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit |
| | 25 | + per upload type. |
| | 26 | +* $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set |
| | 27 | + $wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0; |
| | 28 | +* OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed |
| | 29 | + by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false. |
| | 30 | +* Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins |
| | 31 | + should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate. |
| | 32 | +* The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old |
| | 33 | + Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with |
| | 34 | + $wgLegacyEncoding set. |
| | 35 | +* (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we |
| | 36 | + look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage. |
| | 37 | +* $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed. |
| | 38 | + Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the |
| | 39 | + same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to |
| | 40 | + replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality. |
| | 41 | +* The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box |
| | 42 | + makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation" |
| | 43 | + and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk |
| | 44 | + edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block |
| | 45 | + anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings |
| | 46 | + remain the same. |
| | 47 | +* Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which |
| | 48 | + will probably break screen-scraping bots. |
| | 49 | +* (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default. |
| | 50 | + $wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default. |
| | 51 | +* (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least |
| | 52 | + *appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the |
| | 53 | + ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the |
| | 54 | + output. |
| | 55 | +* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable |
| | 56 | + math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from |
| | 57 | + http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php: |
| | 58 | + require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"; |
| | 59 | +* $wgProfiler is now a configuration array, see StartProfiler.sample for |
| | 60 | + details. |
| | 61 | +* $wgProfiling has been removed. |
| | 62 | +* The spyc library is now no longer included in phase3. |
| | 63 | +* (bug 28343) Unused preferences contextlines/contextchars have been removed |
| | 64 | +* $wgSkinExtensionFunctions has been removed. Use $wgExtensionFunctions instead. |
| | 65 | + |
| | 66 | +=== New features in 1.18 === |
| | 67 | +* (bug 8130) Query pages should limit to content namespaces, not just main |
| | 68 | + namespace. |
| | 69 | +* Search suggestions (other than in the Vector skin) will now use the HTML5 |
| | 70 | + datalist feature where supported, currently only Firefox 4. |
| | 71 | +* Special:Contribs now redirects to Special:Contributions. |
| | 72 | +* (bug 6672) Images are now autorotated according to their EXIF orientation. |
| | 73 | + This only affects thumbnails; the source remains unrotated. |
| | 74 | +* (bug 25708) Update case mappings and normalization to Unicode 6.0.0 |
| | 75 | +* New hook ArticlePrepareTextForEdit added, called when preparing text to be |
| | 76 | + saved. |
| | 77 | +* New parser option PreSaveTransform added, allows the pre-save transformation |
| | 78 | + to be selectively disabled. |
| | 79 | +* Alternative to $wgHooks implemented, using the new Hooks class. |
| | 80 | +* Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a |
| | 81 | + thumbnail. |
| | 82 | +* (bug 26870) Add size to {{filepath:}}. |
| | 83 | +* Upload warnings now show a thumbnail of the uploaded file. |
| | 84 | +* Introduced the edittools-upload message, which will be inserted under the |
| | 85 | + upload form instead of edittools if available. |
| | 86 | +* (bug 26285) Extensions will be automatically generated on upload if the user |
| | 87 | + specified a filename without extension. |
| | 88 | +* (bug 26851) Special:UserRights now allows to prefill the reason field |
| | 89 | +* New maintenance script to fix double redirects |
| | 90 | + (maintenance/fixDoubleRedirects.php). |
| | 91 | +* (bug 23315) New body classes to allow easier styling of special pages. |
| | 92 | +* (bug 27159) Make email confirmation code expiration time configurable. |
| | 93 | +* CSS/JS for each user group is imported from MediaWiki:Sysop.js, |
| | 94 | + MediaWiki:Autoconfirmed.css, etc. |
| | 95 | +* (bug 24230) Uploads of ZIP types, such as MS Office or OpenOffice can now be |
| | 96 | + safely enabled. A ZIP file reader was added which can scan a ZIP file for |
| | 97 | + potentially dangerous Java applets. This allows applets to be blocked |
| | 98 | + specifically, rather than all ZIP files being blocked. |
| | 99 | +* (bug 2429) Allow selection of associated namespace in recent changes. |
| | 100 | +* (bug 26217) File size is now checked before uploading in HTML5 browsers. |
| | 101 | +* CSS stylesheet MediaWiki:Noscript.css is now loaded for users with JavaScript |
| | 102 | + disabled (enclosed in the head in a <noscript> tag). |
| | 103 | +* Added UserGetLanguageObject hook to change the language used in $wgLang. |
| | 104 | +* (bug 14645) When $wgMiserMode is on, expensive special pages are styled |
| | 105 | + differently (italicized by default) on Special:SpecialPages. |
| | 106 | +* Added $wgAggregateStatsID, which allows UDP stats to be aggregated over |
| | 107 | + several wikis. |
| | 108 | +* When $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes is true, all itemtypes are allowed, not just |
| | 109 | + the three that were defined in the original specification. |
| | 110 | +* (bug 14706) Added support for the Imagick PHP extension. |
| | 111 | +* (bug 18691) Added support for SVG rasterization using the Imagick PHP |
| | 112 | + extension. |
| | 113 | +* (bug 2581, bug 6834) Added links to thumbnail in several resolutions to the |
| | 114 | + file description page. The sizes are set by $wgImageLimits. |
| | 115 | +* (bug 28031) Add pageCount support to ArchivedFile. |
| | 116 | +* (bug 27924) PhpHttpRequest doesn't return response body if HTTP != 200. |
| | 117 | +* Added hook BitmapHandlerTransform to allow extension to transform a file |
| | 118 | + without overriding the entire handler. |
| | 119 | +* The parser now attempts to output markers for editsection tokens and defer the |
| | 120 | + rendering of them post-cache to reduce parser cache fragmentation and ensure |
| | 121 | + skin customizability of edit section links. |
| | 122 | +* (bug 24755) AuthPlugin auto-creation of local accounts can now be aborted by |
| | 123 | + other extensions by handling the 'AbortAutoAccount' hook, similar to the |
| | 124 | + 'AbortNewAccount' triggered by explicit account creations. (They are separate |
| | 125 | + to avoid loops and confusion; auth plugins like CentralAuth need to handle |
| | 126 | + AbortNewAccount separately. |
| | 127 | +* Special:ListFiles is now transcludable. |
| | 128 | +* (bug 13879) Special:Emailuser asks for suitable target user if called without. |
| | 129 | +* (bug 16956) IPTC and XMP metadata now extracted from images. |
| | 130 | +* (bug 23816) A tracking category is now added for any pages with broken images. |
| | 131 | +* (bug 23495) Allow createAndPromote.php to create non-sysop users |
| | 132 | + |
| | 133 | +=== Bug fixes in 1.18 === |
| | 134 | +* (bug 23119) WikiError class and subclasses are now marked as deprecated. |
| | 135 | +* (bug 10871) Javascript and CSS pages in MediaWiki namespace are no longer |
| | 136 | + treated as wikitext on preview. |
| | 137 | +* (bug 22753) Output from update.php is more clear when things changed, entries |
| | 138 | + indicating nothing changed are now all prefixed by "...". |
| | 139 | +* Page existence is now not revealed (in the colour of the tabs) to users who |
| | 140 | + cannot read the page in question. |
| | 141 | +* (bug 19006) {{REVISIONUSER}} no longer acts like {{CURRENTUSER}} in some |
| | 142 | + cases. |

| | 144 | +* (bug 18372) File types blacklisted by $wgFileBlacklist will no longer be shown |
| | 145 | + as "Permitted file types" on the upload form. |

| | 394 | + |
| | 395 | +== Compatibility == |
| | 396 | + |
| | 397 | +MediaWiki 1.18 requires PHP 5.2.3. PHP 4 is no longer supported. |
| | 398 | + |
| | 399 | +MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but |
| | 400 | +support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for IBM |
| | 401 | +DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. |
| | 402 | + |
| | 403 | +The supported versions are: |
| | 404 | + |
| | 405 | +* MySQL 4.0 or later |
| | 406 | +* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later |
| | 407 | +* SQLite 3 |
| | 408 | + |
| | 409 | +== Upgrading == |
| | 410 | + |
| | 411 | +1.18 has several database changes since 1.17, and will not work without schema |
| | 412 | +updates. |
| | 413 | + |
| | 414 | +If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons |
| | 415 | +repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise |
| | 416 | +due to database schema changes. |
| | 417 | + |
| | 418 | +If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure |
| | 419 | +new database fields are filled with data. |
| | 420 | + |
| | 421 | +If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database |
| | 422 | +changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could |
| | 423 | +break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading! |
| | 424 | + |
| | 425 | +See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions. |
| | 426 | + |
| | 427 | +For notes on 1.17.x and older releases, see HISTORY. |
| | 428 | + |
| | 429 | +== Online documentation == |
| | 430 | + |
| | 431 | +Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on |
| | 432 | +MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except |
| | 433 | +for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain): |
| | 434 | + |
| | 435 | + http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation |
| | 436 | + |
| | 437 | +== Mailing list == |
| | 438 | + |
| | 439 | +A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion: |
| | 440 | + |
| | 441 | + http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l |
| | 442 | + |
| | 443 | +A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available: |
| | 444 | + |
| | 445 | + http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce |
| | 446 | + |
| | 447 | +It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're |
| | 448 | +going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes. |
| | 449 | + |
| | 450 | +== IRC help == |
| | 451 | + |
| | 452 | +There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net. |
