+== MediaWiki 1.14 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.14 ===
+
+* $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl is an array of namespaces to be exempt from
+ the effect of the new __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words. (Default: null, ex-
+ empt all content namespaces.)
+* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4
+ has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
+* (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either
+ $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent
+ Changes feed that appears on all pages.
+* $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for
+ SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from
+ $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki.
+* $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like
+ $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified
+ group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves.
+ Backwards compatibility is maintained.
+* $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic
+ word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This
+ is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title.
+* $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions.
+* $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead.
+* Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people
+ with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection
+ is not required.
+* $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings.
+* Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image
+ whitelist on or off.
+* Added $wgRenderHashAppend to append some string to the parser cache and the
+ sitenotice cache keys.
+* $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold is now a positive integer by default,
+* (bug 16006) $wgEnableWriteAPI is now true by default. Authorized can perform
+ write actions using the API.
+* Added $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix which adds an interwiki prefix
+ ($wgLocalInterwiki) onto the page names in the UDP feed.
+* Added $wgAllowUserSkin to let the wiki's owner disable user selectable skins
+ on the wiki. If it's set to false, then the skin used will *always* be
+ $wgDefaultSkin.
+* Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based
+ on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username)
+* Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in
+ ForeignAPIRepo)
+* (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File.
+ For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may
+ need to be updated.
+* The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and
+ NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility,
+ and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older.
+* MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by
+ using $wgUsePrivateIPs.
+* The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in
+ Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions
+ to customize the watchlist database query.
+
+=== Migrated extensions ===
+The following extensions are migrated into MediaWiki 1.14:
+
+* Special:DeletedContributions to show deleted user contributions (was
+ extension DeletedContributions)
+* Special:Log/newusers recording new users (was extension Newuserlog)
+* Special:LinkSearch to search for external links (was extension LinkSearch)
+* RenderHash
+* NoMoveUserPages
+* UniversalEditButton
+
+=== New features in 1.14 ===
+
+* New URL syntaxes for Special:ListUsers - 'Special:ListUsers/USER' and
+ 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP/USER', in addition to the older syntax
+ 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP' where GROUP is a valid group name.
+* Configurable per-namespace and per-page notices for the edit form,
+ respectively MediaWiki:Editnotice-# where # is the namespace number, and
+ MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-PAGENAME where # is the page's namespace number and
+ PAGENAME is the page name minus the namespace prefix.
+* (bug 8068) New __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ magic words allow user control of
+ search engine indexing on a per-article basis.
+* Handheld stylesheet options
+* Added 'DoEditSectionLink' hook as a cleaner unified version of the old
+ 'EditSectionLink' and 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hooks. Note that the
+ 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is
+ run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work
+ if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain).
+* Signature (~~~~) "cleaning", i.e. template removal, can be disabled with
+ $wgCleanSignatures=false
+* Extensions can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook to modify the content of the
+ sidebar and add custom portlets to it

+ the wiki
+* Added 'noconvertlink' toggle that can be set per user preferences, also
+ added 'convertlink=no|yes' on GET requests whether have the link titles
+ being converted or not
+* (bug 14921) Special:Contributions/: add user name to <title>
+ Patch by Emufarmers
+* Unescape more "safe" characters when producing URLs, for added prettiness
+* Introduced a new hook 'SkinAfterContent' that allows extensions to add text
+ after the page content and article metadata. Updated all skins and skin
+ templates to work with that hook.
+* (bug 14929) removeUnusedAccounts.php now supports 'ignore-touched' and
+ 'ignore-groups'. Patch by Louperivois
+* (bug 15127) Work around minor display glitch in Opera.
+* By default, reject file uploads that look like ZIP files, to avoid the
+ so-called GIFAR vulnerability.
+* (bug 15141) Give ability to only list protected pages with the cascading
+ option enabled on Special:ProtectedPages
+* (bug 15157) Special:Watchlist has the same options as Special:Watchlist:
+ Show/Hide logged in users, Show/Hide anonymous, Invert namespace selection

+== MediaWiki 1.13 ==
+
+== Changes since 1.13.2 ==
+
+David Remahl of Apple's Product Security team has identified a number of
+security issues in previous releases of MediaWiki. Subsequent analysis by the
+MediaWiki development team expanded the scope of these vulnerabilities. The
+issues with a significant impact are as follows:
+
+* An XSS vulnerability affecting all MediaWiki installations between 1.13.0 and
+ 1.13.2. [CVE-2008-5249]
+* A local script injection vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer clients for
+ all MediaWiki installations with uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250]
+* A local script injection vulnerability affecting clients with SVG scripting
+ capability (such as Firefox 1.5+), for all MediaWiki installations with SVG
+ uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250]
+* A CSRF vulnerability affecting the Special:Import feature, for all MediaWiki
+ installations since the feature was introduced in 1.3.0. [CVE-2008-5252]
+
+XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to steal an
+authorised user's login session, and to act as that user on the wiki. The
+authorised user must visit a web page controlled by the attacker in order to
+activate the attack. Intranet wikis are vulnerable if the attacker can
+determine the intranet URL.
+
+Local script injection vulnerabilities are like XSS vulnerabilities, except
+that the attacker must have an account on the local wiki, and there is no
+external site involved. The attacker uploads a script to the wiki, which another
+user is tricked into executing, with the effect that the attacker is able to act
+as the privileged user.
+
+CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to act as an authorised user on the wiki,
+but unlike an XSS vulnerability, the attacker can only act as the user in a
+specific and restricted way. The present CSRF vulnerability allows pages to be
+edited, with forged revision histories. Like an XSS vulnerability, the
+authorised user must visit the malicious web page to activate the attack.
+
+These four vulnerabilities are all fixed in this release.
+
+David Remahl also reminded us of some security-related configuration issues:
+
+* By default, MediaWiki stores a backup of deleted images in the images/deleted
+ directory. If you do not want these images to be publically accessible, make
+ sure this directory is not accessible from the web. MediaWiki takes some steps
+ to avoid leaking these images, but these measures are not perfect.
+* Set display_errors=off in your php.ini to avoid path disclosure via PHP fatal
+ errors. This is the default on most shared web hosts.
+* Enabling MediaWiki's debugging features, such as $wgShowExceptionDetails, may
+ lead to path disclosure.
+
+Other changes in this release:
+
+* Avoid fatal error in profileinfo.php when not configured.
+* Add a .htaccess to deleted images directory for additional protection against
+ exposure of deleted files with known SHA-1 hashes on default installations.
+* Avoid streaming uploaded files to the user via index.php. This allows
+ security-conscious users to serve uploaded files via a different domain, and
+ thus client-side scripts executed from that domain cannot access the login
+ cookies. Affects Special:Undelete, img_auth.php and thumb.php.
+* When streaming files via index.php, use the MIME type detected from the
+ file extension, not from the data. This reduces the XSS attack surface.
+* Blacklist redirects via Special:Filepath. Such redirects exacerbate any
+ XSS vulnerabilities involving uploads of files containing scripts.
+* Internationalisation updates.
+
+== Changes since 1.13.1 ==
+
+* Security: Work around misconfiguration by requiring strict comparisons for
+ in_array in User::isAllowed().
+* (bug 14944) Added $wgShellLocale for configuration of an appropriate locale
+ to use for LC_CTYPE during shell invocation. For servers that don't have
+ en_US.utf8. Also added locale detection during install.
+* Localisation updates
+* Security: Fixed XSS vulnerability in useskin parameter.
+
+== Changes since 1.13.0 ==
+
+* (bug 15460) Fixed intermittent deadlock errors and poor concurrent
+ performance for installations without memcached.
+* (bug 13770) Fixed DOM module detection for installations with both dom
+ and domxml.
+* (bug 15148) Fixed Special:BlockIP for PostgreSQL
+* Fixed SQLite support for non-memcached installations

+
+== Changes since 1.13.0rc2 ==
+
+* (bug 13770) Fixed incorrect detection of PHP's DOM module

+ minor edit and watch labels on the edit page.
+* Updated Chinese simplified/traditional conversion tables
+
+== Changes since 1.13.0rc1 ==
+
+* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4
+ has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
+* (bug 14907) DatabasePostgres::fieldType now defined.
+* (bug 14966) Fix SearchEngineDummy class for silently non-functional search

+ address for page update notification mails.
+* API: Registration time of users registered before the DB field was created is now
+ shown as empty instead of the current time.
+* (bug 14904): fragments were lost when redirects were fixed.
+* Added magic word __STATICREDIRECT__ to suppress the redirect fixer
+* (bug 15035) Revert English linkTrail to /^([a-z]+)(.*)$/sD, as it was before
+ r36253. Multiple reports of breakage due to old (pre-5.0) PCRE libraries,
+ both bundled with PHP and packaged with distros such as RHEL.
+* (bug 14944) Shell invocation of external programs such as ImageMagick convert
+ was broken in PHP 5.2.6, if the server had a non-UTF-8 locale.
+
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.13 ===

+* (bug 2396) New shared database configuration variables. $wgSharedPrefix allows
+ you to use a shared database with a different prefix. Or you can now use a local
+ database and use prefixes to separate wiki and the shared tables. And the new
+ $wgSharedTables variable allows you to specify a list of tables to share.
+* Automatic edit summaries can be disabled with $wgUseAutomaticEditSummaries
+* Duplicates of images are now shown on the image page

+ displayed on the recent changes special pages
+* The "createpage" permission is no longer required when uploading if the target

+* New $wgRC2UDPOmitBots allows user to omit bot edits from UDP output.
+ Default: false

+ provided by extensions, in a similar way to $wgExtensionMessagesFiles
+* Added $wgXMLMimeTypes, an array of XML mimetypes we can check for
+ with MimeMagic.
+* Added $wgDirectoryMode, which allows for setting the default CHMOD value when
+ creating new directories.
