=== New features in 1.12 ===
* (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload
Both now accept namespace prefixes, handle 'Media:' and 'Special:' pages,
and reject interwiki prefixes. PrefixSearch class centralizes this code,
and the backend part can be overridden by the PrefixSearchBackend hook.

+* (bug 12968) Render redirect wikilinks in a redirect class for customization

+* EditPageBeforeEditButtons hook added for altering the edit buttons below the
+ edit box.
+* __HIDDENCAT__ on a category page causes the category to be hidden on the
+ article page.
+* Don't show edit permissions errors on a red link click, just redirect to the
+ article. This is so that readers who don't know what a red link is aren't
+ confused when they are told they are range-blocked.
+* Put "not yet written" in the title attribute of red links, so that readers
+ unfamiliar with the site might guess what the colour means.
+* One can turn off syndicatino feeds by setting $wgFeed to false

The parser pass order has changed from
* Extension tag strip and render
expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security
pass.
-The rules for template expansion during message transformation were
-counterintuitive, mostly accidental and buggy. There are a few small changes in
-this version: for example, templates with dynamic names, as in "{{ {{a}} }}",
-are fully expanded as they are in HTML mode, whereas previously only the inner
-template was expanded. I'd like to make some larger breaking changes to message
-transformation, after a review of typical use cases.
+Bug 5678 has been fixed. This has a number of user-visible effects related to
+the removal of this double-parse. Please see the wiki page for examples.
+
+Message transformation mode has been removed, and replaced with "preprocess"
+mode. This means that some MediaWiki namespace messages may need to be updated,
+especially ones which took advantage of the terribly counterintuitive behaviour
+of the former message mode.
The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section
edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a
whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by
-template expansion or comment removal will still be rendered into a heading tag,
-and will get an entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link.
-HTML-style headings will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext
-headings present in the template source text will get a template section edit
-link. This is a major break from previous behaviour, but I believe the effects
-are almost entirely beneficial.

The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass
preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed
The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so
extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes.
+The new preprocessor syntax has been documented in Backus-Naur Form at:
+
+http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF
+
+The ExpandTemplates extension now has the ability to generate an XML parse
+tree from wikitext source. This parse tree corresponds closely to the grammar
+documented on that page.
