If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can. - -== MediaWiki 1.15.5 == +== MediaWiki 1.16.0 == 2010-07-28 -This is a security and maintenance release. +This is a stable release of the MediaWiki 1.16 branch. + +=== Summary of selected changes in 1.16 === + +Selected changes since MediaWiki 1.15 that may be of interest: + +* Watchlists now have RSS/Atom feeds. RSS feeds generally are now hidden, + since Atom is a better protocol and is supported by virtually all clients. + +* It's now possible to block users from sending email via Special:Emailuser. + +* The maintenance script system was overhauled. Most maintenance scripts now + have a useful help page when you run them with --help. -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. +* AdminSettings.php is no longer required in order to run maintenance scripts. + You can just set $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword in your + LocalSettings.php instead. -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. +* The preferences system was overhauled. Preferences are stored in a more + compact format. Changes to site default preferences will automatically + affect all users who have not chosen a different preference. -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 +* Support for SQLite was improved. Some broken features were fixed, and it + now has an efficient full-text search. -== Changes since 1.15.4 == +* The user groups ACL system was improved by allowing rights to be revoked, + instead of just granted. +* A new localisation caching system was introduced, which will make MediaWiki + faster for almost everyone, especially when lots of extensions are enabled. + +By default, this new system makes a lot of database queries. If your database +is particularly slow, or if your system administrator limits your query count, +or if you want to squeeze as much performance as possible out of Mediawiki, +set $wgCacheDirectory to a writable path on the local filesystem. Make sure +you have the DBA extension for PHP installed, this will improve performance +further. + +== Changes since 1.16 beta 3 == + +* (bug 23769) Disabled HTML 5 client-side form validation. Was introduced in + 1.16 beta 1, but is currently poorly supported by browsers. +* (bug 23175) Re-added window.ta variable for backwards compatibility. +* (bug 23264) Fixed breakage of various command line scripts due to extra line + endings being inserted by Maintenance::output(). +* Fixed HTTP client functionality with safe_mode=On. +* Fixed parser tests broken in 1.16 beta 3. +* For Oracle DB backend: fixed parser tests and table prefix feature. +* (bug 23767) Fixed PHP warning when REQUEST_URI is blank (IIS issue). +* Fixed plural function for Northern Sami (se) +* (bug 23597) Fixed conflicts between ID attributes in the Vector skin and + parser-generated heading IDs. Renamed head, panel, head-base and page-base. +* Disabled $wgHitcounterUpdateFreq>1 feature on SQLite, does not work yet. +* (bug 23465) Don't ignore the predefined destination filename on + Special:Upload after following a red link to a file. +* In SQLite full-text search feature: fixed "move page" feature, was non- + functional. * (bug 24565) Fixed Cache-Control headers sent from API modules, to protect user privacy in the case where an attacker can access the wiki through the same HTTP proxy as a logged-in user. -* Fixed a minor cookie header parsing issue causing incorrect Cache-Control - headers to be sent. * Fixed an XSS vulnerability in profileinfo.php for installations with $wgEnableProfileInfo = true (false by default) -* For backwards compatibility with extensions from 1.14.x or before, restored - the original function ApiMain::requestWriteMode(). -* In API login "need token" responses, added the cookieprefix and sessionid - fields, as in MediaWiki 1.16.x. This is an improvement to the CSRF fix - introduced in 1.15.3. +* Fixed a case where an X-Vary-Options header was sent despite $wgUseXVO being + false. Fixed a minor header parsing issue when $wgUseXVO = true. +* Fixed a register_globals arbitrary inclusion vulnerability in + MediaWikiParserTest.php, introduced in 1.16 beta 1. -== Changes since 1.15.3 == +== Changes since 1.16 beta 2 == +* Fixed bugs in the [[Special:Userlogin]] and [[Special:Emailuser]] handling of + invalid usernames. +* Fixed sorting in [[Special:Allmessages]] +* (bug 23113) Fixed title in the show/hide links on diff pages +* (bug 23117) Fixed API rollback, was returning "badtoken" for valid requests +* (bug 23127) Re-added missing $1 parameter to the uploadtext message +* Fixed a bug in the Vector skin where personal tools display behind the logo +* (bug 23139) Fixed a bug in edit conflict resolution, where both textboxes + showed the same text. +* (bug 23115, bug 23124) Fixed various problems with <title> and <h1> elements + in page views and previews when the language converter is enabled. +* (bug 23148) Fixed a local path disclosure vulnerability in ImageMagick image + scaling, which was introduced in 1.16 beta 1. +* Improved error checking on installer. +* (bug 22970) Fixed a JavaScript error in the upload destination conflict + check. +* (bug 23167) Check the watch checkbox by default if the watchcreations + preference is set. +* (bug 23171) Improve IE6 version check to avoid false positives. +* (bug 23176) Fixed upload warning override feature "upload new version", + broken in 1.16 beta 1. +* Fixed regression in unwatch links sent out in notification emails. When the + mailing job was deferred via the job queue, the title was incorrect. * (bug 23534) Fixed SQL query error in API list=allusers. +* Fixed a bug in uploads for non-JavaScript clients. An empty string was used + as the default destination filename, instead of the source filename as + expected. * (bug 23371) Fixed CSRF vulnerability in "e-mail me my password", "create account" and "create by e-mail" features of [[Special:Userlogin]] * (bug 23687) Fixed XSS vulnerability affecting IE clients only, due to a CSS validation issue. +* Fixed a DoS vulnerability in ImageMagick image scaling.

The + syntax is identical to $wgGroupPermissions, but users in these groups will + have these rights stripped from them. +* Added a PHP port of CDB (constant database), for improved local caching when + the DBA extension is not available. +* Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around + fast fetches of individual messages, minimising memory overhead and startup + time in the typical case. The database backend will be used by default, but + set $wgCacheDirectory to get a faster CDB-based implementation. +* Expanded the number of variables which can be set in the extension messages + files. +* Added a feature to allow per-article process pool size control for the parsing + task, to limit resource usage when the cache for a heavily-viewed article is + invalidated.
