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 +* MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date.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. +* Special:Upload now lists permitted/prohibited file extensions. +* 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'.

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.
