   3 Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
   4 setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.

   8 THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
   9
  10 MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
  11 quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
  12 "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
  13
  14 Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
  15 from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
  16 will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
  17
  18 Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
  19 it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN

  21 === Configuration changes in 1.12 ===
  22 * Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the
  23   markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used.
  24   This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group.
  25 * MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration
  26   variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e.
  27   to not check and assume they are always up to date)
  28 * The rollback permission is now assigned by default to all logged-in users. It
  29   can also now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism.
  30
  31 === New features in 1.12 ===
  32 * (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload
  33 * Add {{filepath:}} parser function to get full path to an uploaded file,
  34   complementing {{fullurl:}} for pages.
  35 * (bug 11136) If using Postgres, search path is explicitly set if wgDBmwschema
  36   is not set to 'mediawiki', allowing multiple mediawiki instances per user.
  37 * (bug 11151) Add descriptive <title> to revision history page
  38 * (bug 5412) Add feed links for the site to all pages
  39 * (bug 11353) Add ability to retrieve raw section content via action=raw
  40 * (bug 6909) Show relevant deletion log lines when uploading a previously
  41   deleted file
  42 * On SkinTemplate based skins (like MonoBook), omit confusing "edit"/"view
  43   source" tab entirely if the page doesn't exist and the user isn't allowed to
  44   create it
  45 * Clarify instructions given when an exception is thrown
  46 * AuthPlugin added strictUserAuth() method to allow per-user override
  47   of the strict() authentication behavior.

  53   stricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain
  54 * Removed "Clear" link in watchlist editor tools, as people were afraid to
  55   click it. Existing clear links will fall back to the raw editor, which is

  77   user page
  78 * Added --override switch for disabled pages in updateSpecialPages.php
  79 * Provide a unique message (ipb_blocked_as_range) if unblock of a single IP

  82 * (bug 3973) Use a separate message for the email content when an account is
  83   created by another user
  84 * dumpTextPass.php can spawn fetchText.php as a subprocess, which should restart

 217
 218 == Parser changes in 1.12 ==
 219
 220 The parser pass order has changed from
 221
 222    * Extension tag strip and render
 223    * HTML normalisation and security
 224    * Template expansion
 225    * Main section...
 226
 227 to
 228
 229    * Template and extension tag parse to intermediate representation
 230    * Template expansion and extension rendering
 231    * HTML normalisation and security
 232    * Main section...
 233
 234 The main effect of this for the user is that the rules for uncovered syntax
 235 have changed.
 236
 237 Uncovered main-pass syntax, such as HTML tags, are now generally valid, whereas
 238 previously in some cases they were escaped. For example, you could have "<ta" in
 239 one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a
 240 valid <table> tag. Previously the result would have been "&lt;table&gt;".
 241
 242 Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you
 243 have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be
 244 converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This
 245 was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in
 246 the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion
 247 will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template
 248 expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security
 249 pass.
 250
 251 The rules for template expansion during message transformation were
 252 counterintuitive, mostly accidental and buggy. There are a few small changes in
 253 this version: for example, templates with dynamic names, as in "{{ {{a}} }}",
 254 are fully expanded as they are in HTML mode, whereas previously only the inner
 255 template was expanded. I'd like to make some larger breaking changes to message
 256 transformation, after a review of typical use cases.
 257
 258 The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section
 259 edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a
 260 whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by
 261 template expansion or comment removal will still be rendered into a heading tag,
 262 and will get an entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link.
 263 HTML-style headings will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext
 264 headings present in the template source text will get a template section edit
 265 link. This is a major break from previous behaviour, but I believe the effects
 266 are almost entirely beneficial.
 267
 268 The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass
 269 preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed
 270 #switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a
 271 significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from
 272 Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement
 273 by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration.
 274
 275 The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient
 276 way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance
 277 anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default
 278 limit.
 279
 280 The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so
 281 extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes.
 282
 283 === API changes in 1.12 ===

 487 == Compatibility ==
 488
 489 MediaWiki 1.12 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
 490
 491 PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
 492 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
 493 Upgrade affected systems to PHP 5.1 or higher.
 494
 495 MySQL 3.23.x is no longer supported; some older hosts may need to upgrade.
 496 At this time we still recommend 4.0, but 4.1/5.0 will work fine in most cases.
 497
 498
 499 == Upgrading ==
 500
 501 1.12 has several database changes since 1.11, and will not work without schema
 502 updates.
 503
 504 If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
 505 new database fields are filled with data.
 506
 507 If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
 508 changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
 509 break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
 510
 511 See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
 512
 513
 514 === Caveats ===
 515
 516 Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
 517 produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
 518 set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
 519 cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
 520 MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)
 521
 522 For notes on 1.11.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

 524
 525 === Online documentation ===
 526
 527 Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is currently being
 528 built up on MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation
 529 License (except for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in
 530 the public domain) :

 533
 534
 535 === Mailing list ===
 536
 537 A MediaWiki-l mailing list has been set up distinct from the Wikipedia
 538 wikitech-l list:
 539
 540   http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
 541
 542 A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
 543
 544   http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
 545
 546 It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
 547 going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
 548
 549
 550 === IRC help ===
