| 43 | 43 | |
| | 44 | +* Fixed warning about missing file "password.js". |
| | 45 | +* When installing on MySQL, don't attempt to create a new database user if the |
| | 46 | + same user is used for installation and web access. |
| | 47 | +* Fixed SQL query errors in queries with table aliases. |
| | 48 | +* (bug 27891) Fixed the "chronology protector", broken since 1.17beta1, which |
| | 49 | + ensures that when database replication is used, the new version is seen by |
| | 50 | + the user immediately after they create or edit an article. |
| | 51 | +* (bug 28845) Allow PostgreSQL installation using a non-root user account which |
| | 52 | + has role creation abilities. |
| | 53 | +* When installing on PostgreSQL and the install account is the same as the web |
| | 54 | + account, check to make sure that the account has suitable privileges in the |
| | 55 | + mediawiki schema. |
| | 56 | +* (Bug 28172) Fixed error in PostgreSQL installation when creating the wiki |
| | 57 | + sysop account. |
| | 58 | +* Fixed an issue with the Oracle installer in cases where the user is different |
| | 59 | + to the database name. |
| | 60 | +* Added "unblockself" to the list of available rights. |
| | 61 | +* In the installer, fixed the "user rights profile" option, it never worked. |
| | 62 | +* (bug 29117) Fixed Hebrew localisation of the installer. |
| 44 | 63 | * (bug 28840) Reduce the collateral damage caused by the fix for bug 28235 (XSS |
| 45 | 64 | on Internet Explorer 6 due to a file extension in the query string) by |
| 46 | 65 | reducing the number of URLs that are blocked, and by redirecting the request |
| 47 | 66 | to a safer URL where possible instead of blocking it. |
| | 67 | +* (bug 28812) Fixed documentation of API action=parse. |
| | 68 | +* (bug 28979) Fixed styling of <abbr> and <acronym>. |
| | 69 | +* Fixed the error message displayed when you try to create an account by email, |
| | 70 | + but an email address is not given. |
| | 71 | +* Fixed JS error due to missing dependency for jquery.suggestions. |
| | 72 | +* Exposed $wgExtensionAssetsPath in JavaScript. |
| | 73 | +* (bug 28738) Made ResourceLoader support environments with small URL length |
| | 74 | + limits. The length limit can be configured via $wgResourceLoaderMaxQueryLength, |
| | 75 | + and this is set automatically in the generated LocalSettings.php when the |
| | 76 | + php.ini variable "suhosin.get.max_value_length" is set. When a URL exceeds |
| | 77 | + this limit, the request is split up. Also, reduced the average length of |
| | 78 | + load.php URLs by using a more compact parameter format. |
| | 79 | +* (bug 25262) Fix for minification of hardcoded data: URIs in CSS. |
| | 80 | +* (bug 25124) Respect $wgStyleDirectory in ResourceLoader. |
