For current info see RELEASE-NOTES. -== MediaWiki 1.18 == - -THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET - -MediaWiki 1.18 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in -production. - -=== Configuration changes in 1.18 === -* The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with - WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions. -* $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined - login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login - and create account links. -* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in - $wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for - $wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try - loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook. -* $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit - per upload type. -* $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set - $wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0; -* OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed - by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false. -* Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins - should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate. -* The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old - Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with - $wgLegacyEncoding set. -* (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we - look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage. -* $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed. - Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the - same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to - replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality. -* The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box - makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation" - and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk - edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block - anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings - remain the same. -* Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which - will probably break screen-scraping bots. -* (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default. - $wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default. -* (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least - *appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the - ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the - output. -* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable - math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php: - require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"; -* $wgProfiler is now a configuration array, see StartProfiler.sample for - details. -* $wgProfiling has been removed. -* The spyc library is now no longer included in phase3. -* (bug 28343) Unused preferences contextlines/contextchars have been removed -* $wgSkinExtensionFunctions has been removed. Use $wgExtensionFunctions instead. - -=== New features in 1.18 === -* (bug 8130) Query pages should limit to content namespaces, not just main - namespace. -* Search suggestions (other than in the Vector skin) will now use the HTML5 - datalist feature where supported, currently only Firefox 4. -* Special:Contribs now redirects to Special:Contributions. -* (bug 6672) Images are now autorotated according to their EXIF orientation. - This only affects thumbnails; the source remains unrotated. -* (bug 25708) Update case mappings and normalization to Unicode 6.0.0 -* New hook ArticlePrepareTextForEdit added, called when preparing text to be - saved. -* New parser option PreSaveTransform added, allows the pre-save transformation - to be selectively disabled. -* Alternative to $wgHooks implemented, using the new Hooks class. -* Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a - thumbnail. -* (bug 26870) Add size to {{filepath:}}. -* Upload warnings now show a thumbnail of the uploaded file. -* Introduced the edittools-upload message, which will be inserted under the - upload form instead of edittools if available. -* (bug 26285) Extensions will be automatically generated on upload if the user - specified a filename without extension. -* (bug 26851) Special:UserRights now allows to prefill the reason field -* New maintenance script to fix double redirects - (maintenance/fixDoubleRedirects.php). -* (bug 23315) New body classes to allow easier styling of special pages. -* (bug 27159) Make email confirmation code expiration time configurable. -* CSS/JS for each user group is imported from MediaWiki:Sysop.js, - MediaWiki:Autoconfirmed.css, etc. -* (bug 24230) Uploads of ZIP types, such as MS Office or OpenOffice can now be - safely enabled. A ZIP file reader was added which can scan a ZIP file for - potentially dangerous Java applets. This allows applets to be blocked - specifically, rather than all ZIP files being blocked. -* (bug 2429) Allow selection of associated namespace in recent changes. -* (bug 26217) File size is now checked before uploading in HTML5 browsers. -* CSS stylesheet MediaWiki:Noscript.css is now loaded for users with JavaScript - disabled (enclosed in the head in a
