-This is a security update to the Summer 2008 snapshot release of MediaWiki.
+This is the first stable release of the 2009 Q1 branch of MediaWiki.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
@@ -19,687 +20,616 @@ 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
-== Changes since 1.13.3 ==
-
-A number of cross-site scripting (XSS) security vulnerabilities were discovered
-in the web-based installer (config/index.php). These vulnerabilities all
-require a live installer -- once the installer has been used to install a wiki,
-it is deactivated.
-
-Note that cross-site scripting vulnerabilities can be used to attack any website
-in the same cookie domain. So if you have an uninstalled copy of MediaWiki on
-the same site as an active web service, MediaWiki could be used to attack the
-active service.
-
-If you are hosting an old copy of MediaWiki that you have never installed, you
-are advised to remove it from the web.
-
-== Changes since 1.13.2 ==
-
-David Remahl of Apple's Product Security team has identified a number of
-security issues in previous releases of MediaWiki. Subsequent analysis by the
-MediaWiki development team expanded the scope of these vulnerabilities. The
-issues with a significant impact are as follows:
-
-* An XSS vulnerability affecting all MediaWiki installations between 1.13.0 and
- 1.13.2. [CVE-2008-5249]
-* A local script injection vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer clients for
- all MediaWiki installations with uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250]
-* A local script injection vulnerability affecting clients with SVG scripting
- capability (such as Firefox 1.5+), for all MediaWiki installations with SVG
- uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250]
-* A CSRF vulnerability affecting the Special:Import feature, for all MediaWiki
- installations since the feature was introduced in 1.3.0. [CVE-2008-5252]
-
-XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to steal an
-authorised user's login session, and to act as that user on the wiki. The
-authorised user must visit a web page controlled by the attacker in order to
-activate the attack. Intranet wikis are vulnerable if the attacker can
-determine the intranet URL.
-
-Local script injection vulnerabilities are like XSS vulnerabilities, except
-that the attacker must have an account on the local wiki, and there is no
-external site involved. The attacker uploads a script to the wiki, which another
-user is tricked into executing, with the effect that the attacker is able to act
-as the privileged user.
-
-CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to act as an authorised user on the wiki,
-but unlike an XSS vulnerability, the attacker can only act as the user in a
-specific and restricted way. The present CSRF vulnerability allows pages to be
-edited, with forged revision histories. Like an XSS vulnerability, the
-authorised user must visit the malicious web page to activate the attack.
-
-These four vulnerabilities are all fixed in this release.
-
-David Remahl also reminded us of some security-related configuration issues:
-
-* By default, MediaWiki stores a backup of deleted images in the images/deleted
- directory. If you do not want these images to be publically accessible, make
- sure this directory is not accessible from the web. MediaWiki takes some steps
- to avoid leaking these images, but these measures are not perfect.
-* Set display_errors=off in your php.ini to avoid path disclosure via PHP fatal
- errors. This is the default on most shared web hosts.
-* Enabling MediaWiki's debugging features, such as $wgShowExceptionDetails, may
- lead to path disclosure.
-
-Other changes in this release:
-
-* Avoid fatal error in profileinfo.php when not configured.
-* Add a .htaccess to deleted images directory for additional protection against
- exposure of deleted files with known SHA-1 hashes on default installations.
-* Avoid streaming uploaded files to the user via index.php. This allows
- security-conscious users to serve uploaded files via a different domain, and
- thus client-side scripts executed from that domain cannot access the login
- cookies. Affects Special:Undelete, img_auth.php and thumb.php.
-* When streaming files via index.php, use the MIME type detected from the
- file extension, not from the data. This reduces the XSS attack surface.
-* Blacklist redirects via Special:Filepath. Such redirects exacerbate any
- XSS vulnerabilities involving uploads of files containing scripts.
-* Internationalisation updates.
-
-== Changes since 1.13.1 ==
-
-* Security: Work around misconfiguration by requiring strict comparisons for
- in_array in User::isAllowed().
-* (bug 14944) Added $wgShellLocale for configuration of an appropriate locale
- to use for LC_CTYPE during shell invocation. For servers that don't have
- en_US.utf8. Also added locale detection during install.
-* Localisation updates
-* Security: Fixed XSS vulnerability in useskin parameter.
-
-== Changes since 1.13.0 ==
-
-* (bug 15460) Fixed intermittent deadlock errors and poor concurrent
- performance for installations without memcached.
-* (bug 13770) Fixed DOM module detection for installations with both dom
- and domxml.
-* (bug 15148) Fixed Special:BlockIP for PostgreSQL
-* Fixed SQLite support for non-memcached installations
-* Localisation updates, Achinese (ace) added.
-
-== Changes since 1.13.0rc2 ==
+NOTE: Installation of MediaWiki on SQLite has been temporarily disabled in this
+release due to the discovery of serious problems with the schema. We expect to
+fix this problem for the release of 1.15.0.
-* (bug 13770) Fixed incorrect detection of PHP's DOM module
-* Fix regression from r37834: accesskey tooltip hint should be given for the
- minor edit and watch labels on the edit page.
-* Updated Chinese simplified/traditional conversion tables
+== Changes since 1.14.0rc1 ==
+
+* Fixed the performance of the backlinks API module
+* (bug 17420) Send the correct content type from action=raw when the HTML file
+ cache is enabled.
+* (bug 17437) Fixed incorrect link to web-based installer
+* (bug 17527) Fixed missing MySQL-specific options in installer
-== Changes since 1.13.0rc1 ==
+=== Configuration changes in 1.14 ===
+* $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl is an array of namespaces to be exempt from
+ the effect of the new __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words. (Default: null, ex-
+ empt all content namespaces.)
* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4
has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
+* (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either
+ $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent
+ Changes feed that appears on all pages.
+* $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for
+ SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from
+ $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki.
+* $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like
+ $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified
+ group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves.
+ Backwards compatibility is maintained.
+* $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic
+ word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This
+ is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title.
+* $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions.
+* $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead.
+* Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people
+ with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection
+ is not required.
+* $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings.
+* Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image
+ whitelist on or off.
+* Added $wgRenderHashAppend to append some string to the parser cache and the
+ sitenotice cache keys.
+* $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold is now a positive integer by default,
+* (bug 16006) $wgEnableWriteAPI is now true by default. Authorized can perform
+ write actions using the API.
+* Added $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix which adds an interwiki prefix
+ ($wgLocalInterwiki) onto the page names in the UDP feed.
+* Added $wgAllowUserSkin to let the wiki's owner disable user selectable skins
+ on the wiki. If it's set to true, then the skin used will *always* be
+ $wgDefaultSkin.
+* Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based
+ on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username)
+* Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in
+ ForeignAPIRepo)
+* (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File.
+ For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may
+ need to be updated.
+* The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and
+ NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility,
+ and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older.
+* MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by
+ using $wgUsePrivateIPs.
+* The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in
+ Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions
+ to customize the watchlist database query.
+
+
+=== Migrated extensions ===
+The following extensions are migrated into MediaWiki 1.14:
+
+* Special:DeletedContributions to show deleted user contributions (was
+ extension DeletedContributions)
+* Special:Log/newusers recording new users (was extension Newuserlog)
+* Special:LinkSearch to search for external links (was extension LinkSearch)
+* RenderHash
+* NoMoveUserPages
+* UniversalEditButton
+
+=== New features in 1.14 ===
+
+* New URL syntaxes for Special:ListUsers - 'Special:ListUsers/USER' and
+ 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP/USER', in addition to the older syntax
+ 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP' where GROUP is a valid group name.
+* Configurable per-namespace and per-page notices for the edit form,
+ respectively MediaWiki:Editnotice-# where # is the namespace number, and
+ MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-PAGENAME where # is the page's namespace number and
+ PAGENAME is the page name minus the namespace prefix.
+* (bug 8068) New __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ magic words allow user control of
+ search engine indexing on a per-article basis.
+* Handheld stylesheet options
+* Added 'DoEditSectionLink' hook as a cleaner unified version of the old
+ 'EditSectionLink' and 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hooks. Note that the
+ 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is
+ run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work
+ if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain).
+* Signature (~~~~) "cleaning", i.e. template removal, can be disabled with
+ $wgCleanSignatures=false
+* Extensions can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook to modify the content of the
+ sidebar and add custom portlets to it
+* Added 'MakeGlobalVariablesScript' hook for extensions to be able to add vari-
+ ables into into the output of Skin::makeVariablesScript
+* (bug 13846) Added $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups display on
+ Special:ListGroupRights

+* (bug 15007) New 'pagetitle-view-mainpage' message allows the HTML <title> of
+ the main page to be customized
+* Added $wgDisableTitleConversion to disabling the conversion for all pages on
+ the wiki
+* Added 'noconvertlink' toggle that can be set per user preferences, also
+ added 'convertlink=no|yes' on GET requests whether have the link titles
+ being converted or not
+* (bug 14921) Special:Contributions/: add user name to <title>
+ Patch by Emufarmers
+* Unescape more "safe" characters when producing URLs, for added prettiness
+* Introduced a new hook 'SkinAfterContent' that allows extensions to add text
+ after the page content and article metadata. Updated all skins and skin
+ templates to work with that hook.
+* (bug 14929) removeUnusedAccounts.php now supports 'ignore-touched' and
+ 'ignore-groups'. Patch by Louperivois
+* (bug 15127) Work around minor display glitch in Opera.
+* By default, reject file uploads that look like ZIP files, to avoid the
+ so-called GIFAR vulnerability.
+* (bug 15141) Give ability to only list protected pages with the cascading
+ option enabled on Special:ProtectedPages
+* (bug 15157) Special:Watchlist has the same options as Special:Watchlist:

+* (bugs 15405, 15436) Sort more currency types correctly in sortable tables
+* (bug 15422) Sort more different types of numbers in sortable tables
+* (bug 2889) MediaWiki:Print.css applies to the printable version
+* Category counts (e.g. from {{PAGESINCATEGORY:}}) should be more accurate for
+ small categories
+* After logging in, automatically redirect to wherever you logged in from
+* (bug 5619) Break messages used in Special:Statistics down further
+* (bug 11029) Add link to Special:Listusers?group=sysop etc at
+ Special:Statistics
+* (bug 15514) Setting $wgRightsText without $wgRightsUrl now produces a
+ plaintext copyright notice. Patch by Juliano F. Ravasi.
+* (bug 15551) Deletion log excerpt is now shown whenever a user vists a
+ deleted page, even if they are unable to edit it.
+* Added Wantedfiles special pages, allowing users to find image links with no

+ arbitrary title or URL. This should replace inaccessible and incomplete
+ solutions such as CSS-based overlays and ImageMap.
+* (bug 368) Don't use caption for alt attribute; allow manual specification
+ using new "alt=" parameter for images
+* (bug 44) The {{ns:}} core parser function now also accepts localized
+ namespace names and aliases; also, its output now uses spaces instead of
+ underscores to match the behavior of the {{NAMESPACE}} magic word
+* Added the ability to display user edit counts in Special:ListUsers. Off by
+ default, enabled with $wgEdititis = true (named after the medical condition
+ marked by unhealthy obsession with edit counts).
+* Added a file cache to the parser to improve page rendering time on pages with
+ several uses of the same image.
+* (bug 1250) Users can still use "show preview" and "show changes" even if the
+ wiki is set to read-only mode.
+* Added a call to the 'UnwatchArticleComplete' hook to the watchlist editor.
+ This should make it so that ALL user-accessible methods of removing a page
+ from a watchlist lead to this hook being called (it was previously only
+ called from within Article.php
+* Maximum execution time for shell processes on linux is now configured with
+ $wgMaxShellTime (180 seconds by default)

+* (bug 15835) Added Content-Style-Type meta tag
+* (bug 11027) Add parameter to MW:Randompage-nopages so that user can see the
+ namespace.
+* Add id="mw-user-domain-section" to <tr> tag in Userlogin.php template so that
+ admins with a single domain can hide the domain section using CSS
+* Dropped old Paser_OldPP class. Only new parser with preprocessor is used.
+* Moved password reset form from Special:Preferences to Special:ResetPass
+* Added Special:ChangePassword as a special page alias for Special:ResetPass

+* Improved security of file uploads for IE clients, using a reverse-engineered
+ algorithm very similar to IE's content detection algorithm.
+* Cascading protection no longer requires that both edit and move are restricted
+ to sysop, just edit=sysop is enough
+* (bug 2391) A warning is now shown for invalid ISBN numbers on Special:Booksources.
+* Installer has been updated to reflect the release of the GFDL 1.3. The URL for 1.2
+ has been updated, and the 1.3 URL has been given. 1.2 is still Wikipedia-compatible.
+ RightsCode was changed from 'gfdl' to 'gfdl1_2', so we can now support 1.2 as well
+ as 1.3 (gfdl1_3).
+* (bug 16293) PD URL was changed to the CreativeCommons site on PD (which auto-detects
+ your language) instead of Wikipedia.

+ includes a table of contents
+* File objects returned by wfFindFile() are now cached by default
+* (bug 7492) Rights can now be assigned to specific IP addresses and ranges by
+ using $wgAutopromote (new defines: APCOND_ISIP and APCOND_IPINRANGE)

+ performance in modern browsers
+* Enable \cancel and \cancelto in texvc (recompile required)
+* Added 'UserCryptPassword' and 'UserComparePasswords' hooks to allow extensions to implement
+ their own password hashing methods.
+* (bug 16760) Add CSS-class to action links of Special:Log
+* (bug 505) Time zones can now be specified by location in user preferences,
+ avoiding the need to manually update for DST. Patch by Brad Jorsch.
