* (T46740) The temporary option $wgIncludejQueryMigrate was removed, along
with the jQuery Migrate library, as indicated when this option was provided in
MediaWiki 1.24.
+* ProfilerStandard and ProfilerSimpleTrace were removed. Make sure that any
+ StartProfiler.php config is updated to reflect this. Xhprof is available
+ for zend/hhvm. Also, for hhvm, one can consider using its xenon profiler.
=== New features in 1.25 ===
* (T64861) Updated plural rules to CLDR 26. Includes incompatible changes
* (T69341) SVG images will no longer be base64-encoded when being embedded
in CSS. This results in slight size increase before gzip compression (due to
percent-encoding), but up to 20% decrease after it.
-* Upgrade jStorage to v0.4.12.
+* Update jStorage to v0.4.12.
* MediaWiki now natively supports page status indicators: icons (or short text
snippets) usually displayed in the top-right corner of the page. They have
been in use on Wikipedia for a long time, implemented using templates and CSS
should implement supporting behavior. Not doing so can result in undefined
behavior from API clients trying to continue through prefix results.
* Update jQuery from v1.11.1 to v1.11.2.
+* External libraries installed via composer will now be displayed
+ on Special:Version in their own section. Extensions or skins that are
+ installed via composer will not be shown in this section as it is assumed
+ they will add the proper credits to the skins or extensions section.
+* Update QUnit from v1.14.0 to v1.16.0.
+* Update Moment.js from v2.8.3 to v2.8.4.
==== External libraries ====
* MediaWiki now requires certain external libraries to be installed. In the past
* The following libraries are now required:
** psr/log
This library provides the interfaces set by the PSR-3 standard (http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/)
- which are used by MediaWiki interally by the MWLogger class.
+ which are used by MediaWiki internally via the MWLoggerFactory class.
See the structured logging RfC (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Structured_logging)
for more background information.
** cssjanus/cssjanus
** Title::moveTo() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.
** Title::isValidMoveOperation() broken down into MovePage::isValidMove()
and MovePage::checkPermissions().
+* (T18530) Multiple autocomments are now formatted in an edit summary.
+* (T70361) Autocomments containing "/*" are parsed correctly.
* The Special:WhatLinksHere page linked from 'Number of redirects to this page'
on action=info about a file page does not list file links anymore.
* (T78637) Search bar is not autofocused unless it is empty so that proper scrolling using arrow keys is possible.
+* (T50853) Database::makeList() modified to handle 'NULL' separately when building IN clause
+* (T85192) Captcha position modified in Usercreate template. As a result:
+** extrafields parameter added to Usercreate.php to insert additional data
+** 'extend' method added to QuickTemplate to append additional values to any field of data array
+* (T86974) Several Title methods now load from the database when necessary
+ (instead of returning incorrect results) even when the page ID is known.
=== Action API changes in 1.25 ===
* (T67403) XML tag highlighting is now only performed for formats
* (T78737) action=expandtemplates can now return page properties.
* (T78690) list=allimages now accepts multiple pipe-separated values
for the 'aimime' parameter.
+* prop=info with inprop=protections will now return applicable protection types
+ with the 'restrictiontypes' key.
+* (T85417) When resolving redirects, ApiPageSet will now add the targets of
+ interwiki redirects to the list of interwiki titles.
+* (T85417) When outputting the list of redirect titles, a 'tointerwiki'
+ property (like the existing 'tofragment' property) will be set.
=== Action API internal changes in 1.25 ===
* ApiHelp has been rewritten to support i18n and paginated HTML output.
* The skin autodiscovery mechanism, deprecated in MediaWiki 1.23, has been
removed. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery for
migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.
-* Javascript variable 'wgFileCanRotate' now only available on Special:Upload.
+* Javascript variable 'wgFileCanRotate' and 'wgFileExtensions' now only
+ available on Special:Upload.
* (T58257) Set site logo from mediawiki.skinning.interface module instead of
inline styles in the HTML.
* Removed ApiQueryUsers::getAutoGroups(). (deprecated since 1.20)
However, this difference is unlikely to arise in practice.
* (T67278) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" must be surrounded by non-word
characters on both sides.
+* The FormatAutocomments hook will now receive $pre and $post as booleans,
+ rather than as strings that must be prepended or appended to $comment.
* (T30950, T31025) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" can no longer contain
newlines; but they can contain and other non-newline whitespace.
+* The 'mediawiki.action.edit' ResourceLoader module no longer generates the edit
+ toolbar, which has been moved to a separate 'mediawiki.toolbar' module. If you
+ relied on this behavior, update your scripts' dependencies.
+* HTMLForm's 'vform' display style has been separated to a subclass. Therefore:
+ * HTMLForm::isVForm() is now deprecated.
+ * You can no longer do this:
+ $form = new HTMLForm( … );
+ $form->setDisplayFormat( 'vform' ); // throws exception
+ Instead, do this:
+ $form = HTMLForm::factory( 'vform', … );
+* Deprecated Revision methods getRawUser(), getRawUserText() and getRawComment().
