== MediaWiki 1.10.0rc1 ==

April 30, 2007

THIS IS A RELEASE CANDIDATE MADE AVAILABLE FOR TESTING!
A FINAL 1.10.0 RELEASE WILL APPEAR WITHIN A FEW DAYS.

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 ==

* A new switch $wgCommandLineDarkBg used by maintenance scripts (parserTests.php).
  It lets you specify if your terminal use a dark background, the colorized
  output will be made lighter making things easier to read.
* The minimum permissions needed to edit a page in each namespace can now be 
  customized via the $wgNamespaceProtection array. By default, editing pages in
  the MediaWiki namespace requires "editinterface" permission, as before.
* Allow restriction of autoconfirmed permission by edit count. New global setting
  $wgAutoConfirmCount (defaulting to zero, naturally).
* Added rate limiter for Special:Emailuser
* Private logs can now be created using $wgLogRestrictions
* (Bug 8590) limited HTML is now always enabled ($wgUserHtml = true).
* Deprecated $wgUseImageResize, thumbnailing will be enabled unconditionally.

== New features since 1.9 ==

* (bug 6937) Introduce "statistics-footer" message, appended to 
  Special:Statistics
* (bug 6638) List block flags in block log entries
* (bugs 5051, 5376) Tooltips and accesskeys no longer require JavaScript
* Added SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec hook before SkinTemplate::outputPage()
  starts page output
  (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2007-January/028554.html)
* Introduce "cascading protection" -- implicit protection on pages transcluded
  into a page protected with this option enabled
* (bug 8567) Added hook RawPageViewBeforeOutput just before the text is blown
  out in action=raw, so extensions might influence the output.
* (bug 3446) Add user preference to hide page content below diffs, can be
  overridden by adding diffonly=1 or diffonly=0 to the URL of the diff page
* Add 'purge' privilege to replace the hardcoded check for login state in
  determining whether action=purge can be done via GET. Switching the
  permission on for anons can be helpful for benchmarking.

* New special page, Special:Protectedpages, which shows all protected pages
  and their protection status (full protection status is not pulled out due
  to performance considerations, so it just shows "full protected" or
  "semi protected".
* (bug 4133) Allow page protections to be made with an expiry date, in the same
  format as block expiry dates. Existing protections are assumed to be infinite,
  as are protections made with the new field left blank. 
* (bug 8535) Allow certain vertical alignment attributes to be used as image
  keywords
* (bug 6987) Allow perrow, widths, and heights attributes for <gallery>
* (bug 3678) Allow disabling MediaWiki:Aboutsite in the same way as
  MediaWiki:Disclaimers; Also means that if any of the footer links are
  disabled in the wiki's default language (by setting to "-"), they'll also
  be disabled in other languages too (e.g. if the user specifies uselang=fr).
* Sort log types in Special:Log
* Added a classname ("mw-toolbar-editbutton") and unique IDs to the edit
  toolbar buttons
* Hide irrelevant block options in Special:Blockip based on whether an
  IP address/range or username is listed. (Dynamic using JS.)

  dump-based installations, avoiding PHP warnings when NUMBEROFARTICLES

* Add 'charset' to Content-Type headers on various HTTP error responses
  to forestall additional UTF-7-autodetect XSS issues. PHP sends only
  'text/html' by default when the script didn't specify more details,
  which some inconsiderate browsers consider a license to autodetect
  the deadly, hard-to-escape UTF-7.
    This fixes an issue with the Ajax interface error message on MSIE when
  $wgUseAjax is enabled (not default configuration); this UTF-7 variant
  on a previously fixed attack vector was discovered by Moshe BA from BugSec:

== Compatibility ==

MediaWiki 1.10 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.

PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
Upgrade affected systems to PHP 5.1 or higher.

MySQL 3.23.x is no longer supported; some older hosts may need to upgrade.
At this time we still recommend 4.0, but 4.1/5.0 will work fine in most cases.


== Upgrading ==

1.10 has several database changes since 1.9, and will not work without schema
updates.

If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
new database fields are filled with data.

If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!

See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.

=== Caveats ===

Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)


For notes on 1.9.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

=== Mailing list ===

A MediaWiki-l mailing list has been set up distinct from the Wikipedia
wikitech-l list:

  http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:

  http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce

It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.


=== IRC help ===

There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net
