Change notes from older releases. For current info see RELEASE-NOTES.
== MediaWiki 1.12 ==
This is the Winter 2007 quarterly release.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
=== Configuration changes in 1.12 ===
* Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the
markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used.
This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group.
* MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration
variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e.
to not check and assume they are always up to date)
* The rollback permission can now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism.
* New configuration variable $wgExtraLanguageNames
* Behaviour of $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups changed. New behaviour:
* * Granting the userrights privilege allows arbitrary changing of rights.
* * Without the userrights privilege, a user will be able to add and/or
remove the groups specified in $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups for
any groups they are in.
* New permission userrights-interwiki for changing user rights on foreign wikis.
* $wgImplictGroups for groups that are hidden from Special:Listusers, etc.
* $wgAutopromote: automatically promote users who match specified criteria
* $wgGroupsAddToSelf, $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf: allow users to add or remove
themselves from specified groups via Special:Userrights.
* When $wgUseTidy has been enabled, PHP's Tidy module is now used if it is
present, in preference to an external Tidy executable which may or may not
be present. To force use of external Tidy even when the PHP module is
available, set $wgTidyInternal to false.
=== New features in 1.12 ===
* (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload
* Add {{filepath:}} parser function to get full path to an uploaded file,
complementing {{fullurl:}} for pages.
* (bug 11136) If using Postgres, search path is explicitly set if wgDBmwschema
is not set to 'mediawiki', allowing multiple mediawiki instances per user.
* (bug 11151) Add descriptive <title> to revision history page
* (bug 5412) Add feed links for the site to all pages
* (bug 11353) Add ability to retrieve raw section content via action=raw
* (bug 6909) Show relevant deletion log lines when uploading a previously
deleted file
* On SkinTemplate based skins (like MonoBook), omit confusing "edit"/"view
source" tab entirely if the page doesn't exist and the user isn't allowed to
create it
* Clarify instructions given when an exception is thrown
* AuthPlugin added strictUserAuth() method to allow per-user override
of the strict() authentication behavior.
* (bug 7872) Deleted revisions can now be viewed as diffs showing changes
against the previous revision, whether currently deleted or live.
* Added tooltips for the "Go" and "Search" buttons
* (bug 11649) Show input form when Special:Whatlinkshere has no parameters
* isValidEmailAddr hook added to User method of that name, to allow, e.g., re-
stricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain
* Removed "Clear" link in watchlist editor tools, as people were afraid to
click it. Existing clear links will fall back to the raw editor, which is
very easy to clear your watchlist with.
* (bug 1405) Add wgUseNPPatrol option to control patroling for new articles
on Special:Newpages
* LogLine hook added to allow formatting custom entries in Special:Log.
* Support for Iranian calendar
* (bug 1401) Allow hiding logged-in users, bots and patrolled pages on
Special:Newpages
* ChangesListInsertArticleLink hook added for adding extra article info to RC.
* MediaWikiPerformAction hook added for diverting control after the main
globals have been set up but before any actions have been taken.
* BeforeWatchlist hook added for filtering or replacing watchlist.
* SkinTemplateTabAction hook added for altering the properties of tab links.
* OutputPage::getRedirect public method added.
* (bug 11848, 12506) Allow URL parameters 'section', 'editintro' and 'preload'
in Special:Mypage and Special:Mytalk
* Add ot=raw to Special:Allmessages
* Support for Hebrew calendar
* Support for Hebrew numerals in dates and times
* (bug 11315) Signatures can be configured in [[MediaWiki:Signature]] and
[[MediaWiki:Signature-anon]]
* Signatures for anonymous users link to Special:Contributions page rather than
user page
* Added --override switch for disabled pages in updateSpecialPages.php
* Provide a unique message (ipb_blocked_as_range) if unblock of a single IP
fails
because it is part of a blocked range.
* (bug 3973) Use a separate message for the email content when an account is
created by another user
* dumpTextPass.php can spawn fetchText.php as a subprocess, which should restart
cleanly if database connections fail unpleasantly.
* (bug 12028) Add Special:Listbots as shortcut for Special:Listusers/bot
* (bug 9633) Add a predefined list of delete reasons to the deletion form
* Show a warning message when creating/editing a user (talk) page but the user
does not exists
* (bug 8396) Ignore out-of-date serialised message caches
* (bug 12195) Undeleting pages now requires 'undelete' permission
* (bug 11810) Localize displayed semicolons
* (bug 11657) Support for Thai solar calendar
* (bug 943) RSS feed for Recentchangeslinked
* Introduced AbortMove hook
* (bug 2919) Protection of nonexistent pages with regular protection interface.

* Split ambiguous filetype-badtype message into two new messages,
filetype-unwanted-type and filetype-banned-type.
* Added link to the old title in Special:Movepage
* On Special:Movepage, errors are now more noticeable.
* It is now possible to change rights on other local wikis without the MakeSysop
extension
* Add HTML ID's mw-read-only-warning and mw-anon-edit-warning to warnings when
editing to allow CSS styling.
* Parser now returns list of sections
* When a user is prohibited from creating a page, a title of "View source"
makes no sense, and there should be no "Return to [[Page]]" link.
* (bug 12486) Protected titles now give a warning for privileged editors.
* (bug 9939) Special:Search now sets focus to search input box when no existing
search is active
* For Special:Userrights, use GET instead of POST to search for users.
* Allow subpage syntax for Special:Userrights, i.e., Special:Userrights/Name.
* When submitting changes on Special:Userrights, show the full form again, not
just the search box.
* Added exception hooks
* (bug 12574) Allow bots to specify whether an edit should be marked as a bot
edit, via the parameter 'bot'. (Default: '1')
* (bug 12536) User should be able to get MediaWiki version from any page
* (bug 12622) A JavaScript constant to declare whether api.php is available
* Add caching to the AJAX search
* Add APCOND_INGROUPS
* Add DBA caching to installer
* (bug 12585) Added a bunch of parameters to the revertpage message
* Support redirects in image namespace
* (bug 10049) Prefix index search and namespaces in Special:Withoutinterwiki
* (bug 12668) Support for custom iPhone bookmark icon via $wgAppleTouchIcon
* Add option to include templates in Special:Export.
* (bug 12655) Added $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo config option to put sender
address in Reply-To instead of From for user-to-user emails.
This protects against SPF problems and privacy-leaking bounce messages

== Parser changes in 1.12 ==
For help with migration to the MediaWiki 1.12 parser, please visit:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_to_the_new_preprocessor
The parser pass order has changed from
* Extension tag strip and render
* HTML normalisation and security
* Template expansion
* Main section...
to
* Template and extension tag parse to intermediate representation
* Template expansion and extension rendering
* HTML normalisation and security
* Main section...
The main effect of this for the user is that the rules for uncovered syntax
have changed.
Uncovered main-pass syntax, such as HTML tags, are now generally valid, whereas
previously in some cases they were escaped. For example, you could have "<ta" in
one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a
valid <table> tag. Previously the result would have been "<table>".
Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you
have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be
converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This
was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in
the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion
will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template
expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security
pass.
Bug 5678 has been fixed. This has a number of user-visible effects related to
the removal of this double-parse. Please see the wiki page for examples.
Message transformation mode has been removed, and replaced with "preprocess"
mode. This means that some MediaWiki namespace messages may need to be updated,
especially ones which took advantage of the terribly counterintuitive behaviour
of the former message mode.
The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section
edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a
whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by
template expansion will still be rendered into a heading tag, and will get an
entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link. HTML-style headings
will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext headings present in the
template source text will get a template section edit link. This is a major
break from previous behaviour, but I believe the effects are almost entirely
beneficial.
The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass
preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed
#switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a
significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from
Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement
by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration.
The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient
way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance
anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default
limit.
The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so
extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes.
The new preprocessor syntax has been documented in Backus-Naur Form at:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF
The ExpandTemplates extension now has the ability to generate an XML parse
tree from wikitext source. This parse tree corresponds closely to the grammar
documented on that page.

== MediaWiki 1.11 ==
This is the Summer 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
