* Added 'EditPage::attemptSave' hook before an article is saved.
+* (bug 8083) Applied patch for sk localisation
+* Add a backslash character to the edit token, to prevent edits via certain
+ broken proxies that mangle such characters in form submissions
+* (bug 7461) Allow overwriting pages using importTextFile.php
+* (bug 7946) importTextFile.php doesn't perform pre-save transform
+* (bug 8117) {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} showed weird default if $wgLocalTZoffset set;
+ now uses current time for previews and if timestamp can't be loaded from DB
+* {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} now uses site local timezone instead of user timezone
+ to ensure consistent behavior
+* {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} and friends should now work on non-MySQL backends
+* (bug 7671) Observe canonical media namespace prefix in Linker::formatComment
+* Added js variable wgCurRevisionId to the output
+* (bug 8141) Cleanup of Parser::doTableStuff, patch by AzaTht
+* (bug 8042) Make miser mode caching limits settable via $wgQueryCacheLimit
+ instead of hardcoding to 1000
+* Enable QueryPage classes to override list formatting
+* (bug 5485) Show number of intervening revisions in diff view
+* (bug 8100) Fix XHTML validity in Taiwanese localization
+* Added redirect to section feature. Use it wisely.
+* Added a configuration variable allowing the "break out of framesets" feature
+ to be switched on and off ($wgBreakFrames). Off by default.
+* Allow Xml::check() $attribs parameter to override 'value' attribute
+* DB schema change: added two columns (rc_old_len and rc_new_len) to the recentchanges table to store
+ the text lengths before and after the edit
+* (bug 1085) Made Special:Recentchanges show the character difference between the changed revisions
+* Removed a redundant <strong> tag from diff pages that was causing display issues for some users
+* (bug 8203) The keyboard shortcut for "log out" was removed, because users were pressing it
+ when they intended to press the shortcut for "preview".
+* (bug 8148) Handle non-removable output buffers gracefully when cleaning
+ buffers for HTTP 304 responses, StreamFile, and Special:Export.
+ Duplicated code merged into wfResetOutputBuffers() and wfClearOutputBuffers()
+* Special:AllPages : 'next page' link now point to the first title of the next
+ chunk instead of pointing to the last title of current chunk.
+* (bug 4673) Special:AllPages : add a 'previous' link (new message 'prevpage')
+* (bug 8121) wfRandom() was not between 0 and 1
+* Add static method Parser::createAssocArgs($args), so parser functions can
+ use the same code to parse arguments as the templates do.
+* Change behavior of logins using the temporary e-mailed password (as stored
+ in user_newpassword hash field). Instead of just logging in silently and
+ leaving the previous user_password field in place indefinitely, the user
+ is now prompted to set a new password.
+
+ The password-changing form is at Special:Resetpass; currently it's only
+ usable for changing from the temporary password during login, but it
+ could perhaps be generalized, replacing the subform in preferences.
+
+ Once the new password is set successfully, the temporary password is wiped
+ so it cannot be used to login a second time, and the login process
+ is completed.
+* Suppress 'mail new password' button on login form if $wgAuth forbids
+ changing user passwords; it wouldn't work very well...
+* Consolidate password length checks and $wgAuth manipulation into
+ User::setPassword() to avoid duplicate code in different places
+ that set passwords.
+* User::setPassword() now throws PasswordError exceptions if the password
+ is illegal or cannot be set via $wgAuth. These can be caught and a human-
+ readable error message displayed by UI code.
+* Added Title::isSubpage()
+* (bug 8241) Don't consider user pages of User:Foo.css to be CSS subpages
+* Set an explicit class on framed thumbnail inner divs and images, changed some
+ CSS to use these instead of using descendent selectors.
+* Accept null parameter to User::setPassword() as indicating the password
+ field should be cleared to an unusable state. Login will only be possible
+ after the password is reset, for instance by e-mail.
+* (bug 6394) Invalidate the password set for "by e-mail" account creations
+ to avoid accidental empty password creations.
+* Made the show change size function work on page moves, page creations, and
+ log entries. Also fixed it in the javascript recentchanges.
+* (bug 8239) correctly get 50 new contributions when clicking '(50 next)'
+* (bug 2259) Fix old regression where e-mail addresses were no longer
+ confirmed on login with mailed password.
+* Add a notification about the confirmation mail sent during account
+ creation, so people don't immediately go off to request a second one.
+* Add a warning on Special:Confirmemail if a code was already sent and has
+ not yet expired.
+* Add user_editcount field to provide data for heuristics on account use.
+ Incremented on edit, with lazy initialization from past revision data.
+ Can batch-initialize with maintenance/initEditCount.php (not yet friendly
+ to replication environments, this will do all accounts in one query).
+* Allow raw SQL subsections in Database::update() SET portion as well as
+ for WHERE portion. Handy for increments and such.
+* User::getOption now accept a default value to override default user values
+ this makes it consistent with WebRequest::get* methods. Corrected code in
+ various places accordingly.
+* (bug 8264) Fix JavaScript global vars for XHTML mode
+* Make $wgSiteNotice value wikitext again, for consistency with editable
+ MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice.
+* (bug 8044) When redirecting from the canonical name of the special page
+ to the localised one, parameters/subpages are omitted
+* (bug 8164) Special:Booksources should use GET for form submission
+* Rewrite Special:Booksources to clean up interface and remove redundant code
+* (bug 7925) Change Special:Allmessages message name filter javascript to be
+ a bit more responsive and easier on the CPU
+* (bug 4488) Support watching pages on deletion; introduces new user preference
+* Minor restructuring of Special:Preferences; "watch pages I edit" and "watch
+ pages I create" options now accessible under "Watchlist" options
+* (bug 8153) <nowiki> doesn't work in site notice
+* (bug 6690) wfMsgNoTrans() transforms messages
+* (bug 8274) Wrap edit tools in a <div> with a specified class
+* Detect PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug and abort in WebStart.php; too many things break
+ mysteriously otherwise (detection code copied from install-utils.inc)
+* (bug 8295) Change handling of <center> tags in doBlockLevels() to match that
+ of <div>
+* (bug 8110) Make magic ISBN linking stricter: only match ten-digit sequences
+ (plus optional ISBN-13 prefix) with no immediately following alphanumeric
+ character, disallow multiple consecutive internal redirects
+* (bug 2785) Accept optional colon prefix in links when formatting comments
+* Don't show "you can view and copy the source of this page" message for
+ pages which don't exist
+* (bug 8310) Blank line added to top of 'post' when page is blank
+* (bug 8109) Template parameters ignored in "recentchangestext"
+* Gracefully skip redirect-to-fragment on WebKit versions less than 420;
+ it messes up on current versions of Safari but is ok in the latest
+ nightlies. Checking the version number will allow it to automatically
+ work when new releases of Safari appear.
+* Fix regression in thumb styles; size and padding didn't match with
+ new arrangement.
+* (bug 8326) Fix regression in thumb styles of cached content
+* (bug 8333) Fix quick user data update on login password change on
+ replication database setups. User data is now pulled from master
+ instead of slave in User::loadFromDatabase, ensuring that it is
+ fresh and accurate when read and then saved back into cache.
+ This was breaking with the Special:Rename operation which
+ automatically logs the user in with the new password after changing
+ it; pulling from slave meant the record was often not the updated
+ one.
+* (bug 8335) Set image width to the first valid parameter found.
+* (bug 8350) Fix watchlist viewing bug when using Postgres.
+* (bug 6603) When warning about invalid file extensions, output the bit
+ of the extension we actually checked
+* (bug 7669) Drop defaults on BLOB/TEXT columns for better compatibility
+ with MySQL's strict mode, often enabled by the Windows installer.
+ The defaults are ignored anyway when strict mode is off...
+* (bug 7685) Use explicit values for ar_text and ar_flags when deleting,
+ for better compatibility with MySQL's strict mode
+* Update default interwiki values to reflect changed location of ursine:
+* (bug 5411) Remove autopatrol preference
+* Users who have the "autopatrol" permission will have their edits marked as
+ patrolled automatically
+* Users who do not have the "autopatrol" permission will no longer be able
+ to mark their own edits as patrolled
+* Introduce 'PingLimiter' hook; see docs/hooks.txt for more information
