For current info see RELEASE-NOTES. +== MediaWiki 1.14 == + +=== 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 + +=== 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 false, 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 14377) Add a date selector to history pages +* (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.
