* MediaWiki now requires PHP's iconv extension. openSUSE users may need to
install the php5-iconv package. Users of other systems may need to add
extension=iconv.so to php.ini or recompile PHP without --without-iconv.
+* MediaWiki will no longer function if magic quotes are enabled. It has
+ been deprecated for 5 years now, and was removed in PHP 5.4.
* The server's canonical hostname is available as $wgServerName, which is
exposed in both mw.config and ApiQuerySiteInfo.
* Introduced $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey as a backwards-compatibility switch,
* (bug 68085) Links of the form [[localInterwikiPrefix:languageCode:pageTitle]],
where localInterwikiPrefix is a member of the $wgLocalInterwikis array, will
no longer be displayed in the sidebar when $wgInterwikiMagic is true.
+* New special page, MyLanguages, to redirect users to subpages with localised
+ versions of a page. (Integrated from Extension:Translate)
=== Bug fixes in 1.24 ===
* (bug 49116) Footer copyright notice is now always displayed in user language
for future updates. Because it's doing so heuristically, it may fail or drop
wrong constraints.
* (bug 67870) wfShellExec() cuts off stdout at multiples of 8192 bytes.
+* $wgRunJobsAsync now works with private wikis (e.g. read requires login).
+* (bugs 57238, 65206) Blank pages can now be directly created.
=== Web API changes in 1.24 ===
* action=parse API now supports prop=modules, which provides the list of
* RevertFileAction - Use RevertAction directly
* HistoryPage - Use HistoryAction directly
* RawPage - Use RawAction directly
+* StubContLang - Use Language::factory() instead
