+
+== MediaWiki 1.31.0 ==
+
+=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.31.0-rc.2 ===
+* (T195783) Initialize PSR-4 namespaces at same stage as normal autoloader.
+* (T196092) Hide MySQL binary/utf-8 charset option in the installer.
+* (T196185) Don't allow setting $wgDBmysql5 in the installer.
+* (T196125) php-memcached 3.0 (provided with PHP 7.0) is now supported.
+* (T182366) UploadBase::checkXMLEncodingMissmatch() now works on PHP 7.1+
+* (T118683) Fix exception from &$user deref on HHVM in the TitleMoveComplete hook.
+* (T196672) The mtime of extension.json files is now able to be zero
+* (T180403) Validate $length in padleft/padright parser functions.
+* (T143790) Make $wgEmailConfirmToEdit only affect edit actions.
+
+=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.31.0-rc.0 ===
+* (T33223) Drop archive.ar_text and ar_flags.
+* Add default edit rate limit of 90 edits/minute for all users.
+* (T187645) Use codepoint as tiebreaker when getting first-letters in
+ IcuCollation.
+* (T191947) Don't shell during the installer if shelling out is disabled.
+* (T194319) Improve duplicate config setting exception as part of extension
+ registration.
+* (T195211) Don't require trailing slash in PSR-4 autoloader directory.
+* (T186565) Fix PHP Notice from `ob_end_flush()` in `FileRepo::streamFile()`.
+* Do not incorrectly hide namespace input field in the installer.
+* (T186456) Refactor checks looking for PEAR maik libraries to be clearer.
+
+=== Important pre-upgrade notes for 1.31 ===
+* If you're using MySQL, SQLite, or MSSQL, are not using update.php to apply
+ schema changes, and cannot have downtime to run migrateArchiveText.php and
+ apply patch-drop-ar_text.sql manually, you'll have to apply a default value
+ to the ar_text and ar_flags columns of the archive table or make those
+ columns nullable before upgrading to MediaWiki 1.31.
+ maintenance/archives/patch-nullable-ar_text.sql shows how to do this for MySQL.
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.31 ===
+* $wgEnableAPI and $wgEnableWriteAPI are now deprecated and will be removed in
+ a future version. The API is now considered to be stable, secure and
+ essential.
+* $wgUsejQueryThree was removed, as it is now the default. This was documented
+ as a temporary variable during the migration period, deprecated since 1.29.
+* $wgLogoHD has been updated to support svg images and uses $wgLogo where
+ possible for fallback images such as png.
+* (T44246) $wgFilterLogTypes will no longer ignore 'patrol' when user does not
+ have the right to mark things patrolled.
+* Wikis that contain imported revisions or CentralAuth global blocks should run
+ maintenance/cleanupUsersWithNoId.php.
+* The configuration settings $wgResourceLoaderMinifierStatementsOnOwnLine and
+ $wgResourceLoaderMinifierMaxLineLength, deprecated since 1.27, were removed.
+* (T180921) $wgReferrerPolicy now supports having fallbacks for browsers that
+ are not using the latest version of the Referrer Policy specification.
+* $wgFragmentMode is now set to [ 'legacy', 'html5' ] by default. This is a
+ first step of migration to human-readable section IDs that will later result
+ in 'html5' being the default mode.
+* CACHE_ACCEL now only supports APC(u) or WinCache. XCache support was removed
+ as upstream is inactive and has no plans to move to PHP 7.
+* The old CategorizedRecentChanges feature, including its related configuration
+ option $wgAllowCategorizedRecentChanges, has been removed.
+* (T188472) The 'comma' value for $wgArticleCountMethod is no longer supported
+ for performance reasons, and installations with this setting will now work as
+ if it was configured with 'any'.
+* (T185753) MediaWiki now defaults to using RemexHtml to tidy up user input,
+ rather than being off by default. If you wish to disable HTML tidying
+ entirely, set $wgTidyConfig to null; if you wish to use the old, deprecated
+ Tidy external binary, both set $wgTidyConfig to null and $wgUseTidy to true.
+* $wgLogAutopatrol now defaults to false instead of true.
+* $wgValidateAllHtml was removed and will be ignored.
+* $wgScriptExtension, deprecated and ignored since 1.25, was removed. See the
+ 1.25 release notes for more information.
+* $wgUseAjax is now marked as deprecated, just like the deprecated AJAX
+ framework that it enables. Some extensions mistakenly used this to check
+ whether any AJAX functionality at all should be enabled, further making this
+ problematic to retain.
+* $wgDBmysql5 is now deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. It
+ has been marked as experimental ever since it was introduced.
+
+=== New features in 1.31 ===
+* (T76554) User sub-pages named ….json are now protected in the same way that
+ ….js and ….css pages are, so that configuration options can safely be placed
+ there.
+* Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase->select() and similar methods now support joins
+ with parentheses for grouping.
+* As a first pass in standardizing dialog boxes across the MediaWiki product,
+ Html class now provides helper methods for messageBox, successBox, errorBox
+ and warningBox generation.
+* (T9240) Imports will now record unknown (and, optionally, known) usernames in
+ a format like "iw>Example".
+* (T20209) Linker (used on history pages, log pages, and so on) will display
+ usernames formed like "iw>Example" as interwiki links, as if by wikitext like
+ [[iw:User:Example|iw>Example]].
+* (T111605) The 'ImportHandleUnknownUser' hook allows extensions to auto-create
+ users during an import.
+* Added a hook, ParserOutputPostCacheTransform, to allow extensions to affect
+ the ParserOutput::getText() post-cache transformations.
+* Added a hook, UploadForm:getInitialPageText, to allow extensions to alter the
+ initial page text for file uploads.
+* (T181651) The info page for File pages now displays the file's base-16 SHA1
+ hash value in the table of basic information.
+* Style tags with a 'data-mw-deduplicate' attribute will be deduplicated as a
+ ParserOutput::getText() post-cache transformation. This may be disabled by
+ passing 'deduplicateStyles' => false to that method.
+* The identity of the logged-in or IP "actor" for logged actions is being moved
+ into a new actor table, with the rows in tables such as revision and logging
+ referring to the actor ID instead of storing the user ID and name/IP in
+ every row.
+ * This is currently gated by $wgActorTableSchemaMigrationStage. Most wikis
+ can set this to MIGRATION_NEW and run maintenance/migrateActors.php as
+ soon as any necessary extensions are updated.
+ * Most code accessing rows for logged actions from the database should use
+ the relevant getQueryInfo() methods to get the information needed to build
+ the SQL query. The ActorMigration class may also be used to get feature
+ -flagged information needed to access actor-related fields during the
+ migration period.
+* Added Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::cancelAtomic(), to roll back an atomic
+ section without having to roll back the whole transaction.
+* Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::doAtomicSection(), non-native ::insertSelect(),
+ and non-MySQL ::replace() and ::upsert() no longer roll back the whole
+ transaction on failure.
+* (T189785) Added a monthly heartbeat ping to the pingback feature.
+* The CLI installer (maintenance/install.php) learned to detect and include
+ extensions. Pass --with-extensions to enable that feature.
+* (T184791) rc_patrolled now has three states: "0" for unpatrolled,
+ "1" for manually patrolled and "2" for autopatrolled actions.
+* Extensions can now set their type to "editor" if they provide an editor or
+ enhance the editing experience.
+* Extensions can use a PSR-4 autoloader by setting an "AutoloadNamespaces"
+ property in extension.json. See the documentation at
+ <https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extension.json/Schema#AutoloadNamespaces>
+ for more details and an example.
+* (T19099) Tabs which link to pages that don't exist (like those to uncreated
+ discussion pages) now have a tooltip to indicate state, not just colour.
+
+=== External library changes in 1.31 ===
+* pear/mail, pear/mail_mime and pear/mail_mime-decode have been moved from
+ suggested to required. These packages now must be installed via composer
+ and not via PEAR itself.

+ removed. It has never made a difference in the output, the name was always
+ returned regardless.
+* The 'watch' and 'unwatch' parameters for action=move have been removed. They

+ RevisionRecord and its subclasses.
+* The global function wfBCP47 is deprecated in favour of LanguageCode::bcp47.
+* The global function wfCountDown is now deprecated in favor of
+ Maintenance::countDown.
+* Several methods for returning lists of fields to select from the database
+ have been deprecated in favor of similar methods that also return the tables
+ to select from and the join conditions for those tables.
+ * Block::selectFields() → Block::getQueryInfo()
+ * RecentChange::selectFields() → RecentChange::getQueryInfo()
+ * ArchivedFile::selectFields() → ArchivedFile::getQueryInfo()

+ * LocalFile::getCacheFields() with a prefix no longer works
+ * LocalFile::getLazyCacheFields() with a prefix no longer works
+ * OldLocalFile::selectFields() → OldLocalFile::getQueryInfo()

+ * WikiPage::selectFields() → WikiPage::getQueryInfo()
+* Revision::setUserIdAndName() was deprecated.
+* Access to TitleValue class properties was deprecated, the relevant getters
+ should be used instead.
+* DifferenceEngine::getDiffBodyCacheKey() is deprecated. Subclasses should
+ override DifferenceEngine::getDiffBodyCacheKeyParams() instead.
+* Use of Maintenance::error( $err, $die ) to exit script was deprecated. Use
+ Maintenance::fatalError() instead.
+* Passing a ParserOptions object to OutputPage::parserOptions() is deprecated.
+* The RevisionInsertComplete hook is now deprecated; use instead the hook
+ RevisionRecordInserted. RevisionInsertComplete is still called, but the second
+ and third parameter will always be null. Hard deprecation is scheduled for 1.32.
+* The following methods that get and set ParserOutput state are deprecated.
+ Callers should use the new stateless $options parameter to
+ ParserOutput::getText() instead.
+ * ParserOptions::getEditSection()
+ * ParserOptions::setEditSection()
+ * ParserOutput::getEditSectionTokens()
+ * ParserOutput::setEditSectionTokens()
+ * ParserOutput::getTOCEnabled()
+ * ParserOutput::setTOCEnabled()
+ * OutputPage::enableSectionEditLinks()
+ * OutputPage::sectionEditLinksEnabled()
+ * The public ParserOutput state fields $mTOCEnabled and $mEditSectionTokens
+ are also deprecated.
+* License::getLicenses has been deprecated; use License::getLines instead.
+* QuickTemplate::setRef() was deprecated in favour of QuickTemplate::set().
+ Setting template variables by reference allowed violating the principle of
+ data being immutable once added to the skin template. In practice, this method
+ was not being used for that. Rather, setRef() existed as memory optimisation
+ for PHP 4.
+* QuickTemplate::setTranslator() and MediaWikiI18N::set() were deprecated in
+ favour of Skin::msg() parameters.
+* MediaWikiI18N::translate() was deprecated in favour of Skin::msg() or
+ wfMessage().

+ 'unwrap' transform to ParserOutput::getText() instead.
+* \ObjectFactory (no namespace) is deprecated, the namespaced class
+ \Wikimedia\ObjectFactory from the wikimedia/object-factory library should be
+ used instead.
+* CommentStore::newKey is deprecated. Instead, get an instance from
+ MediaWikiServices.

+ CommentStore::newKey will remain unchanged but deprecated:
+ * CommentStore::getFields
+ * CommentStore::getJoin
+ * CommentStore::getComment
+ * CommentStore::getCommentLegacy
+ * CommentStore::insert
+ * CommentStore::insertWithTemplate
+* The following methods in Title have been renamed, and the old ones are
+ deprecated:
+ * Title::getSkinFromCssJsSubpage – use ::getSkinFromConfigSubpage
+ * Title::isCssOrJsPage – use ::isSiteConfigPage
+ * Title::isCssJsSubpage – use ::isUserConfigPage
+ * Title::isCssSubpage – use ::isUserCssConfigPage
+ * Title::isJsSubpage – use ::isUserJsConfigPage
+* The following methods related to caching of half-parsed HTML were deprecated:
+ * Parser::serializeHalfParsedText()
+ * Parser::unserializeHalfParsedText()
+ * Parser::isValidHalfParsedText()
+ * StripState::getSubState()
+ * StripState::merge()
+* The DeferredStringifier class is deprecated, use Message::listParam() instead.
+* The type string for the parameter $lang of DateFormatter::getInstance is
+ deprecated.
+* Wikimedia\Rdbms\SavepointPostgres is deprecated.
+* The DO_MAINTENANCE constant is deprecated. RUN_MAINTENANCE_IF_MAIN should be
+ used instead.
+* The function wfShellWikiCmd() has been deprecated, use
+ MediaWiki\Shell::makeScriptCommand().
+* In the future, the hooks 'PreferencesFormPreSave' and 'PreferencesGetLegend'
+ will be allowed to provide any HTMLForm object rather than PreferencesForm.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.31 ===
+* Browser support for Internet Explorer 10 was lowered from Grade A to Grade C.
+* Browser support for Opera 12 and older was dropped entirely. Opera 15+
+ continues at Grade A.
+* Multi-content-revision capability was introduced into the storage layer. See
+ <https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Multi-Content_Revisions>.
+* The "free" CSS class is now only applied to unbracketed URLs in wikitext.
+ Links written using square brackets will get the class "text" not "free".
+* RFC 157418: Whitespace is trimmed from wikitext headings, wikitext list items,
+ wikitext table captions, wikitext table headings, wikitext table cells. HTML
+ headings, HTML list items, HTML table captions, HTML table headings, HTML
+ table cells will not have this trimming behavior.
+
+== Compatibility ==
+MediaWiki 1.31 requires PHP 7.0.0 or later. Although HHVM 3.18.5 or later is
+supported, it is generally advised to use PHP 7.0.0 or later for long term
+support.
+
+MySQL/MariaDB is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used,
+but support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
+Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
+
+The supported versions are:
+
+* MySQL 5.5.8 or later
+* PostgreSQL 9.2 or later
+* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
+* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
+* Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
+
+== Upgrading ==
+1.31 has several database changes since 1.30, and will not work without schema
+updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
+table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
+many hours on a large site).
+
+Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
+
+See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
+important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
+
+For notes on 1.30.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
+
+== Online documentation ==
+Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
+MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
+for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):
+
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Documentation
+
+== Mailing list ==
+A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:
+
+ https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
+
+A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
+
+ https://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.

+* (T178626) Revert #contentSub and #jump-to-nav margin changes.
+
+=== MySQL version requirement in 1.30 ===
+As of 1.30, MediaWiki now requires MySQL 5.5.8 or higher (see Compatibility
+section).
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.30 ===
+* The "C.UTF-8" locale should be used for $wgShellLocale, if available, to avoid
+ unexpected behavior when code uses locale-sensitive string comparisons. For
+ example, the Scribunto extension considers "bar" < "Foo" in most locales
+ since it ignores case.
+* $wgShellLocale now affects LC_ALL rather than only LC_CTYPE. See
+ documentation of $wgShellLocale for details.
+* $wgShellLocale is now applied for all requests. wfInitShellLocale() is
+ deprecated and a no-op, as it is no longer needed.
+* $wgJobClasses may now specify callback functions as an alternative to plain
+ class names. This is intended for extensions that want control over the
+ instantiation of their jobs, to allow for proper dependency injection.
+* $wgResourceModules may now specify callback functions as an alternative
+ to plain class names, using the 'factory' key in the module description
+ array. This allows dependency injection to be used for ResourceLoader modules.
+* $wgExceptionHooks has been removed.
+* (T163562) $wgRangeContributionsCIDRLimit was introduced to control the size
+ of IP ranges that can be queried at Special:Contributions.
+* (T45547) $wgUsePigLatinVariant added (off by default).
+* (T152540) MediaWiki now supports a section ID escaping style that allows to display
+ non-Latin characters verbatim on many modern browsers. This is controlled by the
+ new configuration setting, $wgFragmentMode.
+* $wgExperimentalHtmlIds is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version,
+ use $wgFragmentMode to migrate off it to a modern alternative.
+* $wgExternalInterwikiFragmentMode was introduced to control how fragments in
+ sinterwikis going outside of current wiki farm are encoded.
+* (T120333) Soft-deprecated the use of PHP extension 'mysql' in favor of 'mysqli'.
+ This PHP extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5 and removed in PHP 7.0. MediaWiki
+ auto-selects the 'mysqli' driver since MediaWiki 1.22, except if explicitly
+ requested through the configuration parameter $wgDBservers.
+* $wgOOUIEditPage was removed, as it is now the default. This was documented as a
+ temporary variable during the migration period.
+
+=== New features in 1.30 ===
+* (T37247) Output from Parser::parse() will now be wrapped in a div with
+ class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using
+ ParserOptions::setWrapOutputClass().
+* (T163562) Added ability to search for contributions within an IP ranges
+ at Special:Contributions.
+* Added 'ChangeTagsAllowedAdd' hook, enabling extensions to allow software-
+ specific tags to be added by users.
+* Added a 'ParserOptionsRegister' hook to allow extensions to register
+ additional parser options.
+* (T45547) Included Pig Latin, a language game in English, as a
+ LanguageConverter variant. This allows English-speaking developers
+ to develop and test LanguageConverter more easily. Pig Latin can be
+ enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true.
+* Added RecentChangesPurgeRows hook to allow extensions to purge data that
+ depends on the recentchanges table.
+* Added JS config values wgDiffOldId/wgDiffNewId to the output of diff pages.
+* (T2424) Added direct unwatch links to entries in Special:Watchlist (if the
+ 'watchlistunwatchlinks' preference option is enabled). With JavaScript
+ enabled, these links toggle so the user can also re-watch pages that have
+ just been unwatched.
+* Added $wgParserTestMediaHandlers, where mock media handlers can be passed to
+ MediaHandlerFactory for parser tests.
+* Edit summaries, block reasons, and other "comments" are now stored in a
+ separate database table. Use the CommentFormatter class to access them.
+** This is currently gated by $wgCommentTableSchemaMigrationStage. Most wikis
+ can set this to MIGRATION_NEW and run maintenance/migrateComments.php as
+ soon as any necessary extensions are updated.
+* (T138166) Added ability for users to prohibit other users from sending them
+ emails with Special:Emailuser. Can be enabled by setting
+ $wgEnableUserEmailBlacklist to true.
+* (T67297) $wgBrowserBlacklist is deprecated, and changing it will have no effect.
+ Instead, users using browsers that do not support Unicode will be unable to edit
+ and should upgrade to a modern browser instead.
+
+=== External library changes in 1.30 ===
+

+ formatted as specified by the error formatter parameters.
+* action=compare can now handle arbitrary text, deleted revisions, and
+ returning users and edit comments.
+* (T164106) The 'rvdifftotext', 'rvdifftotextpst', 'rvdiffto',

+ parameters to prop=revisions are deprecated, as are the similarly named
+ parameters to prop=deletedrevisions, list=allrevisions, and
+ list=alldeletedrevisions. Use action=compare, action=parse, or
+ action=expandtemplates instead.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.30 ===
+* ApiBase::getDescriptionMessage() and the "apihelp-*-description" messages are

+ deprecated.
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.30 ===
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Phabricator reports.
+
+* Added: kbp (Kabɩyɛ / Kabiyè)
+* Added: skr (Saraiki, سرائیکی)
+* Added: tay (Tayal / Atayal)
+* Removed: tokipona (Toki Pona)
+
+==== Pig Latin added ====
+* (T45547) Added Pig Latin, a made-up English variant (en-x-piglatin),
+ for easier variant development and testing. Disabled by default. It can be
+ enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.30 ===
+* The use of an associative array for $wgProxyList, where the IP address is in
+ the key instead of the value, is deprecated (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' => 'value' ]).
+ Please convert these arrays to indexed/sequential ones (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' ]).
+* mw.user.bucket (deprecated in 1.23) was removed.
+* LoadBalancer::getServerInfo() and LoadBalancer::setServerInfo() are
+ deprecated. There are no known callers.
+* File::getStreamHeaders() was deprecated.
+* MediaHandler::getStreamHeaders() was deprecated.

+* (T146304) Preprocessor handling of LanguageConverter markup has been improved.
+ As a result of the new uniform handling, '-{' may need to be escaped
+ (for example, as '-<nowiki/>{') where it occurs inside template arguments
+ or wikilinks.
+* (T163966) Page moves are now counted as edits for the purposes of
+ autopromotion, i.e., they increment the user_editcount field in the database.
+* Two new hooks, LogEventsListLineEnding and NewPagesLineEnding, were added for
+ manipulating Special:Log and Special:NewPages lines.
+* The OldChangesListRecentChangesLine, EnhancedChangesListModifyLineData,
+ PageHistoryLineEnding, ContributionsLineEnding and DeletedContributionsLineEnding
+ hooks have an additional parameter, for manipulating HTML data attributes of
+ RC/history lines. EnhancedChangesListModifyBlockLineData can do that via the
+ $data['attribs'] subarray.
+* (T130632) The OutputPage::enableTOC() method was removed.
+* WikiPage::getParserOutput() will now throw an exception if passed
+ ParserOptions that would pollute the parser cache. Callers should use
+ WikiPage::makeParserOptions() to create the ParserOptions object and only
+ change options that affect the parser cache key.
+* Article::viewRedirect() is deprecated.
+* IP::isValidBlock() was deprecated. Use the equivalent IP::isValidRange().
+* DeprecatedGlobal no longer supports passing in a direct value, it requires a
+ callable factory function or a class name.
+* The $parserMemc global, wfGetParserCacheStorage(), and ParserCache::singleton()
+ are all deprecated. The main ParserCache instance should be obtained from
+ MediaWikiServices instead. Access to the underlying BagOStuff is possible
+ through the new ParserCache::getCacheStorage() method.
+* .mw-ui-constructive CSS class (deprecated in 1.27) was removed.
+* Sanitizer::escapeId() was deprecated, use escapeIdForAttribute(),
+ escapeIdForLink() or escapeIdForExternalInterwiki() instead.

+ Sanitizer functions or, if possible, Title::getFragmentForURL().
+* Second parameter to Sanitizer::escapeIdReferenceList() ($options) now does
+ nothing and is deprecated.
+* mw.util.escapeId() was deprecated, use escapeIdForAttribute() or
+ escapeIdForLink().
+* MagicWord::replaceMultiple() (deprecated in 1.25) was removed.
+* WikiImporter now requires the second parameter to be an instance of the Config,
+ class. Prior to that, the Config parameter was optional (a behavior deprecated in
+ 1.25).
+* Removed 'jquery.mwExtension' module. (deprecated since 1.26)
+* mediawiki.ui: Deprecate greys, which are not part of WikimediaUI color palette
+ any more.

+ * EditPage::getSummaryInput() and ::getSummaryInputOOUI() are deprecated. Please
+ use ::getSummaryInputWidget() instead.
+ * EditPage::getCheckboxes() and ::getCheckboxesOOUI() are deprecated. Please
+ use ::getCheckboxesWidget() instead.

+ be avoided and will be deprecated in a future release.
+ * EditPage::safeUnicodeInput() and ::safeUnicodeOutput() are deprecated and no-ops.
+ * EditPage::$isCssJsSubpage, ::$isCssSubpage, and ::$isJsSubpage are deprecated. The
+ corresponding methods from Title should be used instead.
+ * EditPage::$isWrongCaseCssJsPage is deprecated. There is no replacement.
+ * EditPage::$mArticle and ::$mTitle are deprecated for public usage. The getters
+ ::getArticle() and ::getTitle() should be used instead.
+ * Trying to control or fake EditPage context by overriding $wgUser, $wgRequest, $wgOut,
+ and $wgLang is no longer supported and won't work. The IContextSource returned from
+ EditPage::getContext() must be modified instead.
+* Parser::getRandomString() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed.
+* Parser::uniqPrefix() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed.
+* Parser::extractTagsAndParams() now only accepts three arguments. The fourth,
+ $uniq_prefix was deprecated in 1.26 and has now been removed.
+* (T172514) The following tables have had their UNIQUE indexes turned into proper
+ PRIMARY KEYs for increased maintainability: categorylinks, imagelinks, iwlinks,
+ langlinks, log_search, module_deps, objectcache, pagelinks, query_cache, site_stats,
+ templatelinks, text, transcache, user_former_groups, user_properties.
+* IDatabase::nextSequenceValue() is no longer needed by any database backends
+ (formerly it was needed by PostgreSQL and Oracle), and is now deprecated.
+* (T146591) The lc_lang_key index on the l10n_cache table has been changed into a
+ PRIMARY KEY.
+* (T157227) bot_password.bp_user, change_tag.ct_log_id, change_tag.ct_rev_id,
+ page_restrictions.pr_user, tag_summary.ts_log_id, tag_summary.ts_rev_id and
+ user_properties.up_user have all been made unsigned on MySQL.
+* DB_SLAVE is deprecated. DB_REPLICA should be used instead.
+* wfUsePHP() is deprecated.
+* wfFixSessionID() was removed.
+* wfShellExec() and related functions are deprecated, use Shell::command(). This also
+ slightly changes the behavior of how execution time limits are calculated when only
+ some of defaults are overridden per-call. When in doubt, always override both wall
+ clock and CPU time.
+* (T138166) SpecialEmailUser::getTarget() now requires a second argument, the sending
+ user object. Using the method without the second argument is deprecated.
+* (T67297) Browsers that don't support Unicode will have their edits rejected.
+* (T178450) The module 'jquery.badge' is deprecated and will be removed in a future
+ release. For notifying the user of an event, the Notifications ("Echo") system

+* (T178451) SECURITY: Potential XSS when $wgShowExceptionDetails = false and browser
+ sends non-standard url escaping.
+* (T165846) SECURITY: BotPassword login attempts weren't throttled.
+
+= MediaWiki 1.29 =
+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.2 ==
+
+This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.29 branch.
+
+=== Changes since 1.29.1 ===
+* (T166757) Avoid scoped lock errors in Category::refreshCounts() due to nesting.
+* (T175439) Unbreak Postgres Updater when setting defaults for a column.
+* (T160298) Remove use of implicitGroupBy() in ActiveUsersPager.
+* Fixed login button label to accept RawMessage.
+* Fixed case of SpecialRecentChanges class usage.
+* (T174255) Declare uploadCount property in importDump.php.
+* (T163646) Pass a string not an int to mysql_real_escape_string().
+* (T180143) Bump justinrainbow/json-schema development dependency to ~5.2.
+* Updated dev dependancy phpunit/phpunit from v4.8.35 to v4.8.36.
+* (T178451) SECURITY: Potential XSS when $wgShowExceptionDetails = false and browser
+ sends non-standard url escaping.
+* (T165846) SECURITY: BotPassword login attempts weren't throttled.
+* (T128209) SECURITY: Reflected File Download from api.php.
+* (T134100) SECURITY: Do not reveal if user exists during login failure.
+* (T176247) SECURITY: Ensure Message::rawParams can't lead to XSS.
+* (T125163) SECURITY: Make anchor for headlines escape > and <.
+* (T180237) SECURITY: Protect vendor folder with .htaccess.
+* (T180231) SECURITY: Remove PHPUnit file with known RCE if exists in update.php.
+* (T124404) SECURITY: XSS in langconverter when regex hits pcre.backtrack_limit.
+* (T119158) SECURITY: Handle -{}- syntax in attributes safely.
+* (T180488) (T125177) "api.log contains passwords in plaintext" wasn't correctly fixed in all
+ branches in the previous security release.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.1 ==
+
+This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.29 branch.
+
+The SpamBlacklist and PdfHandler extensions were missing from the generated
+packages.
+
+=== Changes since 1.29.1 ===
+* (T164999) Define mw.Upload.Dialog.static.name in mediawiki.Upload.Dialog.js.
+* (T172061) Fix fatal when passing a category to refreshLinks.php.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.0 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.29 ===
+* Default cookie expiration time has been reduced to 30 days. Login cookie
+ expiration time is kept at 180 days.
+* A new configuration variable has been added: $wgCookieSetOnAutoblock. This
+ determines whether to set a cookie when a user is autoblocked. Doing so means
+ that a blocked user, even after logging out and moving to a new IP address,
+ will still be blocked.
+* The resetpassword right and associated password reset capture feature has
+ been removed.
+* The $error parameter to the EmailUser hook should be set to a Status object
+ or boolean false. This should be compatible with at least MediaWiki 1.23 if
+ not earlier. Returning a raw HTML string is now deprecated.
+* The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
+ ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
+ code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
+* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
+ result in a PHP fatal error.
+* $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo is now true by default to work around restrictive DMARC
+ policies.
+* Subpages are now enabled by default in the Template namespace. Set
+ $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_TEMPLATE] to false to keep the old behavior.
+* $wgRunJobsAsync is now false by default (T142751). This change only affects
+ wikis with $wgJobRunRate > 0.
+* (T158474) "Unknown user" has been added to $wgReservedUsernames.
+* (T156983) $wgRateLimitsExcludedIPs now accepts CIDR ranges as well as single IPs.
+* $wgDummyLanguageCodes is deprecated. Additional language code mappings may be
+ added to $wgExtraLanguageCodes instead.
+* (T161453) LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory in it's
+ fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
+* The user right 'editusercssjs' (deprecated in 1.16) was removed. Use
+ 'editusercss' and 'edituserjs' in $wgGroupPermissions and elsewhere instead.
+
+=== New features in 1.29 ===
+* (T5233) A cookie can now be set when a user is autoblocked, to track that user
+ if they move to a new IP address. This is disabled by default.
+* Added ILocalizedException interface to standardize the use of localized
+ exceptions, largely so the API can handle them more sensibly.
+* Blocks created automatically by MediaWiki, such as for configured proxies or
+ dnsbls, are now indicated as such and use a new i18n message when displayed.
+* Added new $wgHTTPImportTimeout setting. Sets timeout for
+ downloading the XML dump during a transwiki import in seconds.
+* Parser limit report is now available in machine-readable format to JavaScript
+ via mw.config.get('wgPageParseReport').
+* Added $wgSoftBlockRanges, to allow for automatically blocking anonymous edits
+ from certain IP ranges (e.g. private IPs).
+* (T59603) Added new magic word {{PAGELANGUAGE}} which returns the language code
+ of the page being parsed.
+* HTML5 form validation attributes will no longer be suppressed. Originally
+ browsers had poor support for them, but modern browsers handle them fine.
+ This might affect some forms that used them and only worked because the
+ attributes were not actually being set.
+* Expiry times can now be specified when users are added to user groups.
+* Completely new user interface for the RecentChanges page, which
+ structures filters into user-friendly groups. This has corresponding
+ changes to how filters are registered by core and extensions.
+* The edit form now uses pretty OOjs UI buttons, checkboxes and summary input.
+ Because this change can cause problems for extensions and on-wiki
+ scripts depending on the exact HTML, the old version is still available
+ and can be used by setting $wgOOUIEditPage = false; in LocalSettings.php.
+ This will be removed later and OOjs UI will become the only option.
+ To make testing easier, users can also force either mode by adding
+ &ooui=true or &ooui=false to the action=edit URL.
+

+* (T62604) Core parser functions returning a number now format the number according
+ to the page content language, not wiki content language.
+* (T27187) Search suggestions based on jquery.suggestions will now correctly only
+ highlight prefix matches in the results.
+* (T157035) "new mw.Uri()" was ignoring options when using default URI.
+* Special:Allpages can no longer be filtered by redirect in miser mode.
+* (T160519) CACHE_ANYTHING will not be CACHE_ACCEL if no accelerator is installed.
+* (T109140) (T122209) SECURITY: Special:UserLogin and Special:Search allow redirect
+ to interwiki links.
+* (T144845) SECURITY: XSS in SearchHighlighter::highlightText() when
+ $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting is true.
+* (T125177) SECURITY: API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep
+ their values out of the logs.
+* (T150044) SECURITY: "Mark all pages visited" on the watchlist now requires a CSRF
+ token.
+* (T156184) SECURITY: Escape content model/format url parameter in message.
+* (T151735) SECURITY: SVG filter evasion using default attribute values in DTD
+ declaration.
+* (T161453) SECURITY: LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory
+ in it's fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
+* (T48143) SECURITY: Spam blacklist ineffective on encoded URLs inside file inclusion
+ syntax's link parameter.
+* (T108138) SECURITY: Sysops can undelete pages, although the page is protected against
+ it.
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.29 ===
+* Submitting sensitive authentication request parameters to action=login,
+ action=clientlogin, action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and
+ action=changeauthenticationdata in the query string is now an error. They
+ should be submitted in the POST body instead.
+* The capture option for action=resetpassword has been removed
+* action=clearhasmsg now requires a POST.
+* (T47843) API errors and warnings may be requested in non-English languages
+ using the new 'errorformat', 'errorlang', and 'errorsuselocal' parameters.
+* API error codes may have changed. Most notably, errors from modules using
+ parameter prefixes (e.g. all query submodules) will no longer be prefixed.
+* ApiPageSet-using modules will report the 'invalidreason' using the specified
+ 'errorformat'.
+* action=emailuser may return a "Warnings" status, and now returns 'warnings' and
+ 'errors' subelements (as applicable) instead of 'message'.
+* action=imagerotate returns an 'errors' subelement rather than 'errormessage'.
+* action=move now reports errors when moving the talk page as an array under
+ key 'talkmove-errors', rather than using 'talkmove-error-code' and
+ 'talkmove-error-info'. The format for subpage move errors has also changed.
+* action=revisiondelete no longer includes a "rendered" property on warnings
+ and errors for each item. Use errorformat=wikitext if you're wanting parsed
+ output.
+* action=rollback no longer returns a "messageHtml" property. Use
+ errorformat=html if you're wanting HTML formatting of error messages.
+* action=upload now reports optional stash failures as an array under key
+ 'stasherrors' rather than a 'stashfailed' text string.
+* action=watch reports 'errors' and 'warnings' instead of a single 'error', and
+ no longer returns a 'message' on success.
+* Added action=validatepassword to validate passwords for the account creation
+ and password change forms.
+* action=purge now requires a POST.
+* There is a new `languagevariants` siprop for action=query&meta=siteinfo,
+ which returns a list of languages with active LanguageConverter instances.
+* action=query&query=allpages will no longer filter redirects using a database
+ query in miser mode. This may result in less results being returned than were
+ requested.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.29 ===
+* New methods were added to ApiBase to handle errors and warnings using i18n
+ keys. Methods for using hard-coded English messages were deprecated:
+ * ApiBase::dieUsage() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsg() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsgOrDebug() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::getErrorFromStatus() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::parseMsg() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::setWarning() was deprecated
+* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
+ result in a PHP fatal error.
+* The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
+ ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
+ code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
+* UsageException is deprecated in favor of ApiUsageException. For the time
+ being ApiUsageException is a subclass of UsageException to allow things that
+ catch only UsageException to still function properly.
+* If, for some strange reason, code was using an ApiErrorFormatter instead of
+ ApiErrorFormatter_BackCompat, note that the result format has changed and
+ various methods now take a module path rather than a module name.
+* ApiMessageTrait::getApiCode() now strips 'apierror-' and 'apiwarn-' prefixes
+ from the message key, and maps some message keys for backwards compatibility.
+* API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep their values out of
+ the logs.
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.29 ===
+
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Phabricator reports.
+
+* Based as always on linguistic studies on intelligibility and language
+ knowledge by geography, language fallbacks have been expanded. When a
+ translation is missing in the user's preferred interface language, the
+ corresponding translation for the fallback language will be used instead.
+ English will only be used as last resort when there are no translations.
+ Some configurations (such as date formats and gender namespaces) have also
+ been updated when using the fallback language's configuration was inadequate.
+ The new or reinstated language fallbacks are (after cs ↔ sk in 1.28):
+ ca ↔ oc; hsb ↔ dsb; io → eo; mdf → ru; pnt → el; roa-tara → it; rup → ro;
+ sh → bs, sr-el, hr.
+* (T137376) New language support: Atikamekw (atj).
+* (T163600) New language support: Dinka (din).
+* (T155957) Talk Namespaces for Javanese language (jv) have been updated.
+
+==== No fallback for Ukrainian ====
+* (T39314) The fallback from Ukrainian to Russian was removed. The Ukrainian
+ language will now use the default fallback language: English. When a translation
+ to Ukrainian is not available, an English string will be shown.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.29 ===
+* Database::getSearchEngine() (deprecated in 1.28) was removed. Use

+ an example.

+ (changed to buildQuery with new signature) or doMainQuery (new
+ signature). Subclasses are likely to call at least doMainQuery
+ (possibly both), but other classes might too, because they were
+ public.
+ Also, some related hooks were deprecated, but this is not yet a
+ breaking change.

+* WikiRevision::$importer was deprecated.
+* WikiRevision::$user was deprecated.
+* Article::getLastPurgeTimestamp(), WikiPage::getLastPurgeTimestamp(), and the
+ WikiPage::PURGE_* constants are deprecated, and the functions will always
+ return false. They were a hack for an issue that has since been fixed.
+* Hook 'EditPageBeforeEditChecks' is now deprecated. Instead use the new hook
+ 'EditPageGetCheckboxesDefinition', or 'EditPage::showStandardInputs:options'
+ if you don't actually care about checkboxes and just want to add some HTML
+ to the page.
+* Selflinks are now rendered as href-less <a> tags with the class mw-selflink
+ rather than <strong> tags. The old class name, "selflink", was deprecated
+ and will be removed in a future release. (T160480)
+* (T156184) $wgRawHtml will no longer apply to internationalization messages.
+* Browser support for non-ES5 JavaScript browsers, including Android 2,
+ Opera <12.10, and Internet Explorer 9, was lowered from Grade A to Grade C.
+* Removed wikibits global methods deprecated since MediaWiki 1.17 (T122755):

+ 'pt-login' to 'pt-login-private' in private wikis.
+* The old, neglected "bulletin board style toolbar" in the edit form is now
+ deprecated (T30856). This old code dates from 2006, and was replaced in the
+ MediaWiki release tarball and in Wikimedia production by the WikiEditor
+ extension in 2010. It is only shown to users if no other editor was
+ installed, and leads to confusion.
+* (T92459) Loading ResourceLoader modules containing JavaScript through
+ addModuleStyles() is deprecated and will log a warning server-side.

-* (bug 60719) In MediaWiki 1.22, the job queue execution on each page request was changed (Gerrit change 59797) so, instead of executing the job inside the same PHP process that's rendering the page, a new PHP cli command is spawned to execute runJobs.php in the background. It will only work if $wgPhpCli is set to an actual path or safe mode is off, otherwise, the old method will be used. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue#Changes_introduced_in_MediaWiki_1.22 for more infomation. This change was in earlier releases of 1.22 but was not noted here until now.
