+= MediaWiki 1.32 =
+
+== MediaWiki 1.32.0 ==
+
+=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.32.0-rc.2 ===
+* (T188327) Fix slow queries in migrateActors.php.
+* (T102320) Fix $magicWords for the Sanskrit language.
+
+=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.32.0-rc.1 ===
+* Fix addition of ug_expiry column to user_groups table on MSSQL.
+* (T210307) Fix the cache timestamp for forced updates.
+* (T210621) User: Bypass repeatable-read when creating an actor_id.
+* (T197535) Extensions can now specify PHP versions and PHP extensions they
+ depend on.
+* Updated wikimedia/ip-set from v1.2.0 to v1.3.0.
+* (T212356) When using action=delete on pages with many revisions, the module
+ may return a boolean-true 'scheduled' and no 'logid'. This signifies that the
+ deletion will be processed via the job queue.
+* (T64103) Dropped columns category.cat_hidden, site_stats.ss_admins, and
+ recentchanges.rc_cur_time from the PostgreSQL schema.
+
+=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.32.0-rc.0 ===
+* (T209885) Prevent populateSearchIndex.php from breaking once actor migration
+ has been started.
+* (T210998) Properly set $wgLanguageCode in the generated LocalSettings.php
+ if --lang is used with the command-line installer (install.php).
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.32 ===
+
+==== New configuration ====
+* $wgJpegQuality – The quality of JPEG thumbnails is now configurable through
+ this setting. The default is 80, which matches the quality of JPEG thumbnails
+ previously generated by ImageMagick. The quality of JPEG thumbnails generated
+ by GD was previously 95, but now uses the $wgJpegQuality setting as well.
+* $wgCookieSetOnIpBlock - This determines whether to set a cookie when an IP
+ user is blocked. Doing so means that a blocked user, even after moving to a
+ new IP address, will still be blocked.
+* $wgRawHtmlMessages – This new configuration setting is added for listing
+ messages which are displayed as raw HTML.
+* $wgCSPHeader and $wgCSPReportOnlyHeader – You can now define a
+ "Content Security Policy" for your wiki. This adds a defense-in-depth feature
+ to stop an attacker who has found a bug in the parser allowing them to insert
+ malicious attributes. Disabled by default. (T135963)
+* $wgGroupPermissions – A new user group, 'interface-admin', is added for
+ controlling access to sitewide CSS/JS (and editing other users' CSS/JS). No
+ other group has 'editsitecss', 'editusercss', 'editsitejs' or 'edituserjs'
+ by default.
+* $wgGrantPermissions – A new grant group, 'editsiteconfig', is added for
+ granting the above rights.
+* $wgDBDefaultGroup – A default database group for use by maintenance scripts.
+* $wgResourceLoaderEnableJSProfiler – This new configuration setting lets you
+ enable client-side profiling of JavaScript modules; it is off by default.
+* (T193868) $wgChangeTagsSchemaMigrationStage — This temporary configuration
+ setting allows sysadmins to gradually migrate the database table schema for
+ how change tags are stored.
+* (T199334) $wgTagStatisticsNewTable — This temporary configuration setting
+ allows sysadmins to enable the caching of Special:Tags via the new
+ change_tag_def table.
+
+==== Changed configuration ====
+* $wgUseAjax – This setting, deprecated in 1.31, is now ignored.
+* $wgDefaultUserOptions – The default watchlist view time (watchlistdays) has
+ been increased from 3 to 7 days. (T194414)
+* $wgGroupPermissions – The right to edit sitewide Javascript
+ (e.g. MediaWiki:Common.js), CSS or JSON was separated from 'editinterface'
+ and is available under 'editsitejs'/'editsitecss'/'editsitejson'. Having
+ 'editinterface' is still necessary to edit such pages.
+* $wgMultiContentRevisionSchemaMigrationStage now defaults to writing both the
+ old and the new schema, but reading the new schema, so Multi-Content Revisions
+ (MCR) are now functional per default. The new default value of the setting is
+ SCHEMA_COMPAT_WRITE_BOTH | SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_NEW.
+* $wgActorTableSchemaMigrationStage no longer accepts MIGRATION_WRITE_BOTH or
+ MIGRATION_WRITE_NEW. It instead uses SCHEMA_COMPAT_WRITE_BOTH |
+ SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_OLD and SCHEMA_COMPAT_WRITE_BOTH | SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_NEW
+ for intermediate stages of migration.
+* $wgDBTableOptions – The default table options now use the binary charset. The
+ default was already overridden in the installer-generated LocalSettings.php,
+ and so is always set to binary after the installer UI option was removed. The
+ default value is only used when the installer installs an extension.
+* $wgPopularPasswordFile — The location of the default popular passwords file
+ has been moved to be in line with other non-PHP files used by libraries and
+ classes.
+* $wgEnableImageWhitelist is now disabled by default, as it opens up a hole for
+ potential privacy leaks by administrators. You can check
+ "MediaWiki:External image whitelist" on your wiki to see whether the feature
+ was ever used, and whether it needs to be re-enabled.
+
+==== Removed configuration ====
+* $wgEnableAPI and $wgEnableWriteAPI – These settings, deprecated in 1.31,
+ have been removed. (T115414)
+* $wgSiteSupportPage – This setting, unused since 1.5, was removed.
+* $wgBrowserBlacklist – This setting, deprecated in 1.30, was removed.
+* $wgExperimentalHtmlIds – This setting, deprecated since 1.30, was removed.
+ The 'html5-legacy' value for $wgFragmentMode is no longer accepted.
+* $wgPasswordSenderName - This setting, ignored since 1.23 by MediaWiki and
+ most extensions, is no longer set. Instead, you can modify the system
+ message `emailsender`.
+* $wgTidyConfig – The experimental Html5Internal and Html5Depurate tidy drivers
+ were removed. RemexHtml, which is the default, should be used instead.
+* (T181318) The $wgStyleVersion setting and its appendage to various script and
+ style URLs in OutputPage, deprecated in 1.31, was removed.
+* (T140807) The wgResourceLoaderLESSImportPaths configuration option was removed
+ from ResourceLoader. Instead, use `@import` statements in LESS to import
+ files directly from nearby directories within the same project.
+* (T140804) The wgResourceLoaderLESSVars configuration option, deprecated
+ since 1.30, was removed. Instead, to expose variables from PHP to LESS, use
+ the ResourceLoaderModule::getLessVars() method.
+* $wgResourceLoaderValidateStaticJS – This setting, unused since MediaWiki 1.18,
+ was removed.
+* Two temporary variables for deploying the feature of filters on change lists,
+ $wgStructuredChangeFiltersShowPreference introduced in MediaWiki 1.30 and
+ $wgStructuredChangeFiltersOnWatchlist in 1.31, were removed.
+
+=== New features in 1.32 ===
+* (T112474) Generalized the ResourceLoader mechanism for overriding modules
+ using a particular page during edit previews.
+* (T12331) You can now log page creation events by setting $wgPageCreationLog
+ to true.
+* Added 'ApiParseMakeOutputPage' hook.
+* (T174313) Added checkbox on Special:ListUsers to display only users in
+ temporary user groups.
+* (T152462) A cookie can now be set when an IP user is blocked to track that
+ user if they move to a new IP address. This is disabled by default.
+* (T194950) Added 'ApiMaxLagInfo' hook.
+* SpecialPage::checkLoginSecurityLevel() will now preserve POST data when
+ reauthenticating.
+* FormSpecialPage::execute() will now call checkLoginSecurityLevel() if
+ getLoginSecurityLevel() returns non-false.
+* The 'ImageBeforeProduceHTML' hook is now passed three new parameters, $parser,
+ &$query and &$widthOption, allowing extensions even finer control over the
+ resulting HTML code.
+* Added new 'ArticleShowPatrolFooter' hook, which allows extensions to determine
+ if the [mark as patrolled] link should be shown at the footer of patrollable
+ pages.
+* The array of hidden options ($opts) passed to the 'SpecialSearchPowerBox' hook
+ is now passed by reference, allowing extensions to modify or even unset it.
+* Added new 'OutputPageAfterGetHeadLinksArray' hook, allowing extensions to
+ modify the return value of OutputPage#getHeadLinksArray in order to add,
+ remove or otherwise alter the elements to be output in the page <head>.
+* (T28934) The 'HistoryPageToolLinks' hook allows extensions to append
+ additional links to the subtitle of a history page.
+* The 'GetLinkColours' hook now receives an additional $title parameter,
+ the Title object of the page being parsed, on which the links will be shown.
+* (T194731) DifferenceEngine supports multiple slots. Added SlotDiffRenderer to
+ render diffs between two Content objects, and DifferenceEngine::setRevisions()
+ to render diffs between two custom (potentially multi-content) revisions.
+ Added GetSlotDiffRenderer hook which works like GetDifferenceEngine for slots.
+* Added a temporary action=mcrundo to the web UI, as the normal undo logic
+ can't yet handle MCR and deadlines are forcing is to put off fixing that.
+ This action should be considered deprecated and should not be used directly.
+* Extensions overriding ContentHandler::getUndoContent() will need to be
+ updated for the changed method signature.
+* Added a new hook, 'UserGetRightsRemove', which can be used to remove rights
+ from user. Unlike the 'UserGetRights' it will ensure that removed rights
+ will not be reinserted.
+* (T197535) Extensions can now specify PHP versions and PHP extensions they
+ depend on.
+
+=== External library changes in 1.32 ===
+
+==== New external libraries ====

+* Updated sinonjs from v1.17.3 to v1.17.7.
+
+==== Removed external libraries ====
+* pear/mail_mime-decode was removed.
+
+=== Bug fixes in 1.32 ===
+* SpecialPage::execute() will now only call checkLoginSecurityLevel() if
+ getLoginSecurityLevel() returns non-false.
+* (T43720, T46197) Improved page display title handling for category pages
+* (T65080) Fixed resetting options of some types via API action=options.
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.32 ===
+* Added templated parameters.
+ * A module can define a templated parameter like "{fruit}-quantity", where
+ the actual parameters recognized correspond to the values of a multi-valued
+ parameter. Then clients can make requests like
+ "fruits=apples|bananas&apples-quantity=1&bananas-quantity=5".
+ * action=paraminfo will return templated parameter definitions separately
+ from normal parameters. All parameter definitions now include an "index"
+ key to allow clients to maintain parameter ordering when merging normal and
+ templated parameters.
+* It is now an error to submit too many values for a multi-valued parameter.
+ This has generated a warning since MediaWiki 1.14.
+* Assertion failures from the 'assert' and 'assertuser' parameters will no
+ longer use the action module's custom response format, for the few modules
+ that use custom formatters that handle errors.
+* (T198935) User list preferences such as `email-blacklist` and similar
+ extension preferences are no longer represented as arrays when returned by
+ action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=options.
+* 'missingparam' errors will now use the prefixed parameter name in the code
+ and error text, e.g. "noxxfoo" and "The 'xxfoo' parameter must be set" rather
+ than "nofoo" and "The 'foo' parameter must be set".
+* action=query&prop=revisions now takes a 'rvslots' parameter to indicate the
+ multi-content revision slots for which content should be returned. It also
+ has a new rvprop, 'roles', to indicate which roles have slots. A deprecation
+ warning will be issued if rvprop=content or rvprop=contentmodel are used
+ without rvslots.
+* The rvcontentformat parameter to action=query&prop=revisions has been
+ deprecated. Clients should be prepared to deal with the default format for
+ relevant models.
+* Use of the deprecated parameters rvexpandtemplates, rvgeneratexml, rvparse,
+ rvdiffto, rvdifftotext, rvdifftotextpst, rvcontentformat, or the deprecated
+ rvprop=parsetree is forbidden with the new 'rvslots' parameter.
+* action=query&prop=deletedrevisions, action=query&list=allrevisions, and
+ action=query&list=alldeletedrevisions are changed similarly to
+ &prop=revisions (see the three previous items).
+* (T174032) action=compare now supports multi-content revisions.
+ * It has a 'slots' parameter to select diffing of individual slots. The
+ default behavior is to return one combined diff.
+ * The 'fromtext', 'fromsection', 'fromcontentmodel', 'fromcontentformat',
+ 'totext', 'tosection', 'tocontentmodel', and 'tocontentformat' parameters
+ are deprecated. Specify the new 'fromslots' and 'toslots' to identify which
+ slots have text supplied and the corresponding templated parameters for
+ each slot.
+ * The behavior of 'fromsection' and 'tosection' of extracting one section's
+ content is not being preserved. 'fromsection-{slot}' and 'tosection-{slot}'
+ instead expand the given text as if for a section edit. This effectively
+ declines T183823 in favor of T185723.
+* (T198214) The 'disabletidy' parameter to action=parse has been
+ deprecated; untidy output will not be supported by future wikitext
+ parsers.
+* Added intestactionsdetail to action=query&prop=info to allow retrieving the
+ reasons an action is not allowed.
+* Deprecated action=query&prop=info inprop=readable in favor of
+ intestactions=read.
+* (T212356) When using action=delete on pages with many revisions, the module
+ may return a boolean-true 'scheduled' and no 'logid'. This signifies that the
+ deletion will be processed via the job queue.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.32 ===
+* Added 'ApiParseMakeOutputPage' hook.
+* Parameter names may no longer contain '{' or '}', as these are now used for
+ templated parameters.
+* (T194950) Added 'ApiMaxLagInfo' hook.
+* The following methods now take a RevisionRecord rather than a Revision. No
+ external callers are known.
+ * ApiFeedContributions::feedItemAuthor()
+ * ApiFeedContributions::feedItemDesc()
+ * ApiQueryRevisionsBase::extractRevisionInfo()
+* The following deprecated methods have been removed:
+ * ApiBase::profileIn() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::profileOut() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::safeProfileOut() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::profileDBIn() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::profileDBOut() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::dieUsage() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsg() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsgOrDebug() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::getErrorFromStatus() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::parseMsg() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::setWarning() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiPageSet::getInvalidTitles() (deprecated in 1.26)
+ * ApiQueryLogEvents::addLogParams() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiUsageException::getCodeString() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiUsageException::getMessageArray() (deprecated in 1.29)
+* Class UsageException, deprecated in 1.29, has been removed.
+* ApiErrorFormatter: Added getFormat() and newWithFormat(). In particular, you
+ can now easily test $formatter->getFormat() === 'bc', and then call
+ $formatter->newWithFormat( 'plaintext' ) to get a non-BC formatter.
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.32 ===
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated regularly.
+Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as changes to languages
+because of Phabricator reports.

+* The type string for the parameter $lang of DateFormatter::getInstance,
+ deprecated in 1.31, was removed.

+ MediaWiki\Session\Token::SUFFIX instead.
+* EditPage::isOouiEnabled() deprecated in 1.30, was removed.
+* mw.util.wikiGetlink(), deprecated in 1.23, was removed. Use mw.util.getUrl()
+ instead.
+* (T61113) The following methods and constants from the Revision class, which
+ were deprecated in 1.25, have now been removed:
+ * Revision::getRawUser()
+ * Revision::getRawUserText()
+ * Revision::getRawComment()
+* window.gM() from mediawiki.jqueryMsg, deprecated in 1.23, was removed. Use
+ mw.msg() or mw.message() instead.
+* mw.util.escapeId(), deprecated in 1.30, was removed. Use
+ mw.util.escapeIdForAttribute or mw.util.escapeIdForLink instead.
+* mw.util.updateTooltipAccessKeys(), deprecated in 1.24, was removed. Use
+ jquery.accessKeyLabel instead.
+* The SqlDataUpdate class, deprecated in 1.28, has been removed.
+* The Html5Internal and Html5Depurate tidy driver classes were removed, along
+ with the Balancer tidy implementation. Both implementations were experimental,
+ and were replaced by RemexHtml.
+* (T179624) Job::insert() and ::batchInsert(), deprecated in 1.21, were both
+ removed. Use JobQueueGroup::singleton()->push() instead.
+* The jquery.footHovzer module, for mediawiki.debug, was removed.
+* The es5-shim module, empty and deprecated since 1.29, was removed.
+* the dom-level2-shim module, empty and deprecated since 1.29, was removed.
+* the json module, empty and deprecated since 1.29, was removed.
+* The mediawiki.widgets.visibleByteLimit module alias, deprecated in 1.32, was
+ removed. Use mediawiki.widgets.visibleLengthLimit instead.
+* The jquery.farbtastic module, unused since 1.18, was removed.
+* The 'jquery.expandableField' module, unused since 1.22, was removed.
+* The hooks 'PreferencesFormPreSave' and 'PreferencesGetLegend' may provide
+ any HTMLForm object rather than PreferencesForm.
+* The non namespaced TimestampException class, deprecated in 1.29, was removed.
+ Use Wikimedia\Timestamp\TimestampException instead.
+* The global functions codepointToUtf8, hexSequenceToUtf8, utf8ToHexSequence,
+ utf8ToCodepoint, and escapeSingleString (deprecated in 1.25) were removed.
+ The UtfNormal\Utils class from the utfnormal library should be used instead.
+* The deprecated UTF8_ and UNICODE_ constants were removed. The class constants
+ from the UtfNormal\Constants class from the utfnormal library should be used
+* The protected methods PHPSessionHandler::returnSuccess() and returnFailure(),
+ only needed for PHP5 compatibility, have been removed. It now uses the boolean
+ values `true` and `false` respectively.
+* The $parserMemc global and wfGetParserCacheStorage(), deprecated since 1.30,
+ were removed. Use the ParserCache class instead.
+* ScopedCallback (deprecated in 1.28) was removed. Use Wikimedia\ScopedCallback
+ instead.
+* Support for ResourceLoaderModule::getModifiedTime() and getModifiedHash(),
+ deprecated since 1.26, was removed. Use getDefinitionSummary() instead.
+* (T195256) Skins are recommended not to rely on JavaScript for the "mw-jump"
+ and "jump-to-nav" accessibility links. To this end, the "jquery.mw-jump"
+ is no longer loaded by default. The Vector and MonoBook skins have made a
+ minor change to implement the toggle feature with CSS instead. To restore
+ prior functionality, either explicitly load "jquery.mw-jump" in your skin
+ or refer to T195256 for details on how to make the same change.
+* Hook 'EditPageBeforeEditChecks' was removed;
+ use 'EditPageGetCheckboxesDefinition' instead.
+* Linker::getLinkColour() and DummyLinker::getLinkColour(), deprecated since
+ 1.28, were removed. LinkRenderer::getLinkClasses() should be used instead.
+* Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer::getLaggedSlaveMode(), deprecated in 1.28, has
+ been removed. Use Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer::getLaggedReplicaMode()
+ instead.
+* mw.widgets.CategoryMultiselectWidget now uses TagMultiselectWidget instead of
+ CapsuleMultiselectWidget. The following methods may no longer be used:
+ * setItemsFromData: Use setValue instead
+ * getItemsData: Use getItems instead and get the data property
+* Two OutputPage methods, addMetadataLink() and getMetadataAttribute(), were
+ removed. Use addLink() instead.
+* Another two OutputPage methods, setPageTitleActionText() and
+ getPageTitleActionText(), were removed. They did nothing since 1.15 (almost
+ ten years). Use setHTMLTitle() directly.
+* The return value of OutputPage::adaptCdnTTL() has been removed. The
+ value returned was misleading and probably not what any caller would
+ have wanted.
+* All MagicWord static member variables have been removed. Use appropriate
+ hooks or MagicWordFactory methods instead.
+* MagicWord::clearCache() has been removed. Instead, create a new
+ MagicWordFactory, such as by calling
+ resetServiceForTesting( 'MagicWordFactory' ) on a MediaWikiServices.
+* mw.util.init() has been removed. This function is not needed anymore and was
+ a no-op function since 1.30.
+* SpecialPageFactory::resetList() is a no-op. Call overrideMwServices()
+ instead.
+* MediaWiki no longer supports a StartProfiler.php file. Instead, you can set
+ $wgProfiler and $wgEnableProfileInfo.
+* The mw.loader.addSource() is now considered a private method, and no longer
+ supports the `id, url` signature. Use the `Object` parameter instead.
+* The backwards-compatibility code in HTMLForm to add a drop-down control to an
+ option that is not set to be a drop-down if the "mw-chosen" class is present,
+ is now removed.
+* Several collations were removed. They were workarounds for bugs in the ICU
+ library and they are no longer needed (as of ICU 57.1):
+ * 'uppercase-se' (NorthernSamiUppercaseCollation) - use 'uca-se' instead
+ * 'xx-uca-et' (CollationEt) - use 'uca-et' instead
+ * 'xx-uca-fa' (CollationFa) - use 'uca-fa' instead
+* LanguageCode::bcp47() now always returns a valid BCP 47 code. This means
+ that some MediaWiki-specific language codes, such as `simple`, are mapped
+ into valid BCP 47 codes (eg `en-simple`).
+* The hooks 'SpecialRecentChangesFilters' & 'SpecialWatchlistFilters' deprecated
+ in 1.23 were removed. Instead, use 'ChangesListSpecialPageStructuredFilters'.
+ The ChangesListSpecialPage code for these legacy hooks, and their use in
+ SpecialRecentchanges.php and SpecialWatchlist, was also removed:
+ * ChangesListSpecialPage->getCustomFilters()
+ * ChangesListSpecialPage->getFilterGroupDefinitionFromLegacyCustomFilters()
+ * ChangesListSpecialPage::customFilters
+* The global function wfUseMW, deprecated since 1.26, has now been removed. Use
+ the "requires" property of static extension registration instead.
+* $wgSpecialPages no longer accepts array syntax, deprecated since 1.18.
+* The MailAddress constructor can no longer be called with a User object,
+ behaviour which has been deprecated since 1.24.
+* LBFactory, deprecated since 1.28, has been removed. Instead, use
+ Wikimedia\Rdbms\LBFactory.
+* The MimeMagic class, deprecated since 1.28 has been removed. Get a
+ MimeAnalyzer instance from MediaWikiServices instead.
+* The '--tidy' option to maintenance/parse.php has been removed. Tidying
+ the output is now the default. Use '--no-tidy' to bypass the tidy
+ phase.
+* The global function wfErrorLog, deprecated since 1.25, has now been removed.
+ Use MWLoggerLegacyLogger::emit or UDPTransport.
+* The hooks 'SpecialRecentChangesQuery' & 'SpecialWatchlistQuery', deprecated in
+ 1.23, were removed. Instead, use ChangesListSpecialPageStructuredFilters or
+ ChangesListSpecialPageQuery.
+* The global function wfUsePHP, deprecated since 1.30, has now been removed. To
+ assert a newer version of PHP than MediaWiki does, use extension registration.
+* The hook 'ChangesListSpecialPageFilters', deprecated in 1.29, has now been
+ removed. Use the 'ChangesListSpecialPageStructuredFilters' hook instead.
+* DeferredUpdates::setImmediateMode(), deprecated since 1.29, has been removed.
+* File / MediaHandler::getStreamHeaders(), deprecated since 1.30, was removed.
+* The hook 'DoEditSectionLink', deprecated since 1.25, has been removed. Use
+ the hook 'SkinEditSectionLinks' instead.
+* The hook 'UserGetImplicitGroups', deprecated since 1.25, has been removed.
+* The global function wfRunHooks, deprecated since 1.25, has now been removed.
+ Use Hooks::run().
+* The hook 'UnknownAction', deprecated since 1.19, has now been removed.
+* The hook 'ParserLimitReport', deprecated since 1.22, has been removed. Use
+ the hooks 'ParserLimitReportPrepare' and 'ParserLimitReportFormat' instead.
+* The following deprecated API methods have been removed:
+ * ApiBase::profileIn() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::profileOut() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::safeProfileOut() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::profileDBIn() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::profileDBOut() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiBase::dieUsage() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsg() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsgOrDebug() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::getErrorFromStatus() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::parseMsg() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiBase::setWarning() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiPageSet::getInvalidTitles() (deprecated in 1.26)
+ * ApiQueryLogEvents::addLogParams() (deprecated in 1.25)
+ * ApiUsageException::getCodeString() (deprecated in 1.29)
+ * ApiUsageException::getMessageArray() (deprecated in 1.29)
+* Class UsageException, deprecated in 1.29, has been removed.
+* MediaWiki no longer has a 'JavaScript-powered' wikitext toolbar built in. The
+ old "bulletin board style toolbar", known as "the 2006 wikitext editor", has
+ been removed, and instead sysadmins will be required to choose one (or more)
+ of the several extensions available for this purpose if they need the
+ functionality. The MediaWiki "tarball" releases have included the replacement
+ extension for this, the WikiEditor extension aka "the 2010 wikitext editor",
+ for many years now. As part of this, several parts of MediaWiki have been
+ removed or simplified:
+ * The user option 'showtoolbar' (shown as "Show edit toolbar") is no longer
+ available; if an extension adds a toolbar via the EditPageBeforeEditToolbar
+ hook, it will be shown; extensions should provide a specific user preference
+ to disable themselves as needed.
+ * The public methods Language::getImageFile() and ::getImageFiles(), and the
+ related specification of $imageFiles within individual languages' code file,
+ as well as the referenced static media assets, all of which were only used
+ inside MediaWiki itself for providing the icons for the old toolbar, have
+ been removed without explicit deprecation.
+ * The internal ResourceLoader module "mediawiki.toolbar", which is unused
+ except by MediaWiki itself and back-compatibility code, has been removed.
+ * The internal ResourceLoaderEditToolbarModule class has been removed.
+
+=== Deprecations in 1.32 ===
+* HTMLForm::setSubmitProgressive() is deprecated. No need to call it. Submit
+ button is already marked as progressive.
+* Skin::setupSkinUserCss() is deprecated. Adding of modules to load
+ has been centralised to Skin::getDefaultModules(), which is now capable
+ of queueing style modules as well.
+* OutputPage::addModuleScripts() and ParserOutput::addModuleScripts are
+ deprecated. Use addModules() instead.
+* Overriding SearchEngine::{searchText,searchTitle,searchArchiveTitle}
+ in extending classes is deprecated. Extend related doSearch* methods
+ instead.
+* The following 'mediawiki.api' plugin modules were merged into mediawiki.api
+ and deprecated: mediawiki.api.category, mediawiki.api.edit,
+ mediawiki.api.login, mediawiki.api.options, mediawiki.api.parse,
+ mediawiki.api.upload, mediawiki.api.user, mediawiki.api.watch,
+ mediawiki.api.messages, and mediawiki.api.rollback.
+* ApiBase::truncateArray() is deprecated. No replacement, as nothing is known
+ to use it.
+* WatchAction::getUnwatchToken is deprecated. Use WatchAction::getWatchToken
+ with the 'unwatch' action parameter instead.
+* IcuCollation::getICUVersion() is deprecated, as you can just use the PHP
+ constant INTL_ICU_VERSION directly in all versions that MediaWiki supports.
+* Parser::fetchFile() is deprecated. Use ::fetchFileAndTitle() instead.
+* The ApiQueryContributions class has been renamed to ApiQueryUserContribs.
+* The XMPInfo, XMPReader, and XMPValidate classes have been deprecated in favor
+ of the namespaced classes provided by the wikimedia/xmp-reader library.
+* SearchResultSet::{next,rewind} are deprecated. Calling code should
+ use foreach on the SearchResultSet, or the extractResults method. Extending
+ code should override extractResults.
+* Instantiating SearchResultSet directly is deprecated. SearchEngine
+ implementations must subclass SearchResultSet for their purposes.
+* SearchResult::setExtensionData argument has been changed from accepting an
+ array to accepting a Closure that returns the array when called.
+* Class CryptRand, everything in MWCryptRand except generateHex() and function
+ MediaWikiServices::getCryptRand() are deprecated, use random_bytes() to
+ generate cryptographically secure random byte sequences.
+* Parser::getConverterLanguage() is deprecated. Use ::getTargetLanguage()
+ instead.
+* Language::markNoConversion() is deprecated. It confused readers because
+ it had unexpected behavior (only marking text if it looked like a URL)
+ and was only used in a single place in the code. Use
+ LanguageConverter::markNoConversion() instead.
+* (T197492) Language::truncate() was soft deprecated in 1.31 and is
+ hard deprecated in this release. It has been split into two similar
+ methods, Language::truncateForVisual() and Language::truncateForDatabase(),
+ which measure length in characters and bytes, respectively. Use
+ Language::truncateForVisual() when possible to provide equity to users
+ of multibyte scripts.
+* (T176526) EditPage::getContextTitle() falling back to $wgTitle when the
+ context title is unset is now deprecated; anything creating an EditPage
+ instance should set the context title via ::setContextTitle().
+* The 'jquery.hidpi' module (polyfill for IMG srcset) is deprecated.
+* ResourceLoaderStartUpModule::getStartupModules() and ::getLegacyModules()
+ are deprecated. These concepts are obsolete and have no replacement.
+* String type for $lang of DifferenceEngine::setTextLanguage is deprecated.
+* The following methods of OutputPage are now deprecated in favour
+ of using showFatalError directly: OutputPage::showFileDeleteError()
+ OutputPage::showFileNotFoundError(), OutputPage::showFileRenameError()
+ OutputPage::showFileCopyError() and OutputPage::showUnexpectedValueError().
+* The Replacer, DoubleReplacer, HashtableReplacer, and RegexlikeReplacer
+ classes are now deprecated. Use a Closure instead.
+* (T194263) ContentHandler::makeParserOptions() is deprecated. Use
+ WikiPage::makeParserOptions() or ParserOptions::newCanonical() instead.
+* (T100681) Use of the Parsoid v1 API with the VirtualRESTService, deprecated in
+ MediaWiki 1.26, is now hard-deprecated. All known clients were converted to
+ the Parsoid v3 API in May 2015.
+* $input is deprecated in hook 'LogEventsListGetExtraInputs'. Use
+ $formDescriptor instead.
+* SearchEngine::transformSearchTerm( $term ) should no longer be called prior
+ to running searchText. This method was mainly implemented to support the
+ 'prefix' URI param in SpecialSearch, but there are no reasons to expose this
+ logic as it should be handled internally by SearchEngine implementations
+ supporting this feature. SearchEngine implementations should no longer
+ override this methods.
+* SearchEngine::replacePrefixes( $query ) should no longer be called prior
+ to running searchText/searchTitle.
+* (T199657) Messages for $wgFilterLogTypes labels should be no longer be in the
+ 'log-show-hide-[type]' format. Instead use 'logeventslist-[type]-log'.
+* Global functions wfArrayFilter() and wfArrayFilterByKey() are deprecated.
+ use array_filter() directly.
+* The $wgShowSQLErrors global is deprecated and nonfunctional.
+ Set $wgShowExceptionDetails and/or $wgShowHostnames instead.
+* The $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace global is deprecated and nonfunctional.
+ Set $wgShowExceptionDetails instead.
+* Public access to the DifferenceEngine properties mOldid, mNewid, mOldRev,
+ mNewRev, mOldPage, mNewPage, mOldContent, mNewContent, mRevisionsLoaded,
+ mTextLoaded and mCacheHit is deprecated. Use getOldid() / getNewid() /
+ getOldRevision() / getNewRevision() for the first four (note that the
+ revision ones return a RevisionRecord, not a Revision), do your own lookup
+ for page/content.
+* The $wgExternalDiffEngine value 'wikidiff2' is deprecated. To use wikidiff2
+ just enable the PHP extension, and it will be autodetected.
+* (T194731) DifferenceEngine properties mOldContent and mNewContent and methods
+ setContent(), generateContentDiffBody(), generateTextDiffBody() and textDiff()
+ are deprecated. To interact with a single slot, use a SlotDiffRenderer (and
+ subclass it to customize diff rendering); to diff custom (e.g. unsaved)
+ content, use setRevisions(). Subclassing DifferenceEngine should only be done
+ to customize page-level diff properties (such as the navigation header).
+* The wfUseMW function, soft-deprecated in 1.26, is now hard deprecated.
+* All MagicWord static methods are now deprecated. Use the MagicWordFactory
+ methods instead.
+* PasswordFactory::init is deprecated. To get a password factory with the
+ standard configuration, use MediaWikiServices::getPasswordFactory.
+* $wgContLang is deprecated, use MediaWikiServices::getContentLanguage()
+ instead.
+* $wgParser is deprecated, use MediaWikiServices::getParser() instead.
+* wfGetMainCache() is deprecated, use ObjectCache::getLocalClusterInstance()
+ instead.
+* wfGetCache() is deprecated, use ObjectCache::getInstance() instead.
+* All SpecialPageFactory static methods are deprecated. Instead, call the
+ methods on a SpecialPageFactory instance, which may be obtained from
+ MediaWikiServices.
+* mw.user.stickyRandomId was renamed to the more explicit
+ mw.user.getPageviewToken to better capture its function.
+* Passing Revision objects to ContentHandler::getUndoContent() is deprecated,
+ Content object should be passed instead.
+* (T197179) Parameters 'notice', 'notice-messages', 'notice-message',
+ previously used by OOUI HTMLForm fields, are now deprecated. Use
+ 'help', 'help-message', 'help-messages' instead.
+* (T197179) HTMLFormField::getNotices() is now deprecated.
+* The jquery.localize module is now deprecated. Use jquery.i18n instead.
+* The SecondaryDataUpdates hook was deprecated in favor of RevisionDataUpdates,
+ or overriding ContentHandler::getSecondaryDataUpdates (T194038).
+* The WikiPageDeletionUpdates hook was deprecated in favor of
+ PageDeletionDataUpdates, or overriding ContentHandler::getDeletionDataUpdates
+ (T194038).
+* Content::getSecondaryDataUpdates has been deprecated in favor of
+ ContentHandler::getSecondaryDataUpdates() for overriding by extensions
+ (T194038).
+ Application logic should call WikiPage::doSecondaryDataUpdates() (T194037).
+* Content::getDeletionUpdates has been deprecated in favor of
+ ContentHandler::getDeletionUpdates() for overriding by extensions (T194038).
+ Application logic should call WikiPage::doSecondaryDataUpdates() (T194037).
+* (T198214) Old Tidy-related configuration settings, which were soft-deprecated
+ in MediaWiki 1.26, have now been hard deprecated. This affects $wgUseTidy,
+ $wgTidyBin, $wgTidyConf, $wgTidyOpts, $wgTidyInternal, and $wgDebugTidy. Use
+ $wgTidyConfig instead.
+* All Tidy configurations other than Remex have been hard deprecated;
+ future parsers will not emit compatible output for these configurations.
+ In particular, running MediaWiki with tidy disabled has been deprecated.
+* (T198214) OutputPage::addWikiText(), OutputPage::addWikiTextWithTitle(),
+ and OutputPage::addWikiTextTitle() have been deprecated, since they
+ can result in untidy output. In addition OutputPage::addWikiTextTidy()
+ and OutputPage::addWikiTextTitleTidy() was deprecated to make naming new
+ methods consistent. Use OutputPage::addWikiTextAsInterface() or
+ OutputPage::addWikiTextAsContent() instead, which ensures the output is
+ tidy and clarifies whether content-language specific postprocessing should
+ be done on the text.
+* OutputPage::parse() and OutputPage::parseInline() have been deprecated
+ due to untidy output and inconsistent handling of wrapper divs and
+ interface/content language defaults. Use OutputPage::parseAsContent(),
+ OutputPage::parseAsInterface(), or OutputPage::parseInlineAsInterface()
+ as appropriate.
+* QuickTemplate::msgHtml() and BaseTemplate::msgHtml() have been deprecated
+ as they promote bad practises. I18n messages should always be properly
+ escaped.
+* Skin::getDynamicStylesheetQuery() has been deprecated. It always
+ returns action=raw&ctype=text/css which callers should use directly.
+* Class LegacyFormatter is deprecated.
+* Use of CommentStore::insertWithTempTable() with 'img_description' is
+ deprecated. Use CommentStore::insert() instead.
+* Language::setCode is deprecated as public function. Use Language::factory
+ to create a new Language object with a different language code.
+* Several classes have been moved from the MediaWiki\Storage\ namespace to the
+ MediaWiki\Revision\ namespace. The old class names are aliased for
+ compatibility, but are deprecated. Classes are IncompleteRevisionException,
+ MutableRevisionRecord, MutableRevisionSlots, RevisionAccessException,
+ RevisionArchiveRecord, RevisionFactory, RevisionLookup, RevisionRecord,
+ RevisionSlots, RevisionStore, RevisionStoreRecord, SlotRecord, and
+ SuppressedDataException.
+* When using OOUI HTMLForm containing an 'info' field which uses the 'rawrow'
+ option, it is now deprecated to give its contents (the 'default' option)
+ as a string. They should be given as a OOUI\FieldLayout object instead.
+ Notably, this affects fields defined in the 'GetPreferences' hook, because
+ Special:Preferences uses an OOUI form now. (If possible, don't use 'rawrow'.)
+* In Skin::doEditSectionLink omitting the parameters $tooltip and $lang is
+ deprecated. For the $lang parameter, types other than Language are
+ deprecated.
+* The $wgUseKeyHeader configuration option and the
+ OutputPage::getKeyHeader() method have been deprecated; the relevant
+ draft IETF spec expired without becoming a standard.
+* Deprecated API action=query&prop=info inprop=readable in favor of
+ intestactions=read.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.32 ===
+* (T198811) The following tables have had their UNIQUE indexes turned into
+ proper PRIMARY KEYs for increased maintainability: interwiki, page_props,
+ protected_titles and site_identifiers.
+* OOUI HTMLForm will now display help text inline after the input field,
+ rather than in a popup. Previous behavior can be restored by using
+ `'help-inline' => false`.
+* The archive table's ar_rev_id field is now unique.
+* Special:BotPasswords now requires reauthentication.
+* (T174023) Multi-Content Revision (MCR) capabilities were introduced into the
+ storage layer and have basic support for display. No user interface exists
+ yet for creating or managing content in slots beides the main slot. See
+ <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multi-Content_Revisions> for more
+ information.
+* The image_comment_temp database table has been removed. Since all access
+ should be mediated by the CommentStore class, this change shouldn't affect
+ external code.
+* (T206147) Database::close() will no longer commit any open transactions.
+* (T64103) Dropped columns category.cat_hidden, site_stats.ss_admins, and
+ recentchanges.rc_cur_time from the PostgreSQL schema.
+

+* (T195783) Initialize PSR-4 namespaces at same stage as normal autoloader.
+* (T196092) Hide MySQL binary/utf-8 charset option in the installer.

+
+=== Important pre-upgrade notes for 1.31 ===
+* If you're using MySQL, SQLite, or MSSQL, are not using update.php to apply
+ schema changes, and cannot have downtime to run migrateArchiveText.php and
+ apply patch-drop-ar_text.sql manually, you'll have to apply a default value
+ to the ar_text and ar_flags columns of the archive table or make those
+ columns nullable before upgrading to MediaWiki 1.31.
+ maintenance/archives/patch-nullable-ar_text.sql shows how to do this for MySQL.
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.31 ===
+* $wgEnableAPI and $wgEnableWriteAPI are now deprecated and will be removed in
+ a future version. The API is now considered to be stable, secure and
+ essential.
+* $wgUsejQueryThree was removed, as it is now the default. This was documented
+ as a temporary variable during the migration period, deprecated since 1.29.
+* $wgLogoHD has been updated to support svg images and uses $wgLogo where
+ possible for fallback images such as png.
+* (T44246) $wgFilterLogTypes will no longer ignore 'patrol' when user does not
+ have the right to mark things patrolled.
+* Wikis that contain imported revisions or CentralAuth global blocks should run
+ maintenance/cleanupUsersWithNoId.php.
+* The configuration settings $wgResourceLoaderMinifierStatementsOnOwnLine and
+ $wgResourceLoaderMinifierMaxLineLength, deprecated since 1.27, were removed.
+* (T180921) $wgReferrerPolicy now supports having fallbacks for browsers that
+ are not using the latest version of the Referrer Policy specification.
+* $wgFragmentMode is now set to [ 'legacy', 'html5' ] by default. This is a
+ first step of migration to human-readable section IDs that will later result
+ in 'html5' being the default mode.
+* CACHE_ACCEL now only supports APC(u) or WinCache. XCache support was removed
+ as upstream is inactive and has no plans to move to PHP 7.
+* The old CategorizedRecentChanges feature, including its related configuration
+ option $wgAllowCategorizedRecentChanges, has been removed.
+* (T188472) The 'comma' value for $wgArticleCountMethod is no longer supported
+ for performance reasons, and installations with this setting will now work as
+ if it was configured with 'any'.
+* (T185753) MediaWiki now defaults to using RemexHtml to tidy up user input,
+ rather than being off by default. If you wish to disable HTML tidying
+ entirely, set $wgTidyConfig to null; if you wish to use the old, deprecated
+ Tidy external binary, both set $wgTidyConfig to null and $wgUseTidy to true.
+* $wgLogAutopatrol now defaults to false instead of true.
+* $wgValidateAllHtml was removed and will be ignored.
+* $wgScriptExtension, deprecated and ignored since 1.25, was removed. See the
+ 1.25 release notes for more information.
+* $wgUseAjax is now marked as deprecated, just like the deprecated AJAX
+ framework that it enables. Some extensions mistakenly used this to check
+ whether any AJAX functionality at all should be enabled, further making this
+ problematic to retain.
+* $wgDBmysql5 is now deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. It
+ has been marked as experimental ever since it was introduced.
+
+=== New features in 1.31 ===
+* (T76554) User sub-pages named ….json are now protected in the same way that
+ ….js and ….css pages are, so that configuration options can safely be placed
+ there.
+* Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase->select() and similar methods now support joins
+ with parentheses for grouping.
+* As a first pass in standardizing dialog boxes across the MediaWiki product,
+ Html class now provides helper methods for messageBox, successBox, errorBox
+ and warningBox generation.
+* (T9240) Imports will now record unknown (and, optionally, known) usernames in
+ a format like "iw>Example".
+* (T20209) Linker (used on history pages, log pages, and so on) will display
+ usernames formed like "iw>Example" as interwiki links, as if by wikitext like
+ [[iw:User:Example|iw>Example]].
+* (T111605) The 'ImportHandleUnknownUser' hook allows extensions to auto-create
+ users during an import.
+* Added a hook, ParserOutputPostCacheTransform, to allow extensions to affect
+ the ParserOutput::getText() post-cache transformations.
+* Added a hook, UploadForm:getInitialPageText, to allow extensions to alter the
+ initial page text for file uploads.
+* (T181651) The info page for File pages now displays the file's base-16 SHA1
+ hash value in the table of basic information.
+* Style tags with a 'data-mw-deduplicate' attribute will be deduplicated as a
+ ParserOutput::getText() post-cache transformation. This may be disabled by
+ passing 'deduplicateStyles' => false to that method.
+* The identity of the logged-in or IP "actor" for logged actions is being moved
+ into a new actor table, with the rows in tables such as revision and logging
+ referring to the actor ID instead of storing the user ID and name/IP in
+ every row.
+ * This is currently gated by $wgActorTableSchemaMigrationStage. Most wikis
+ can set this to MIGRATION_NEW and run maintenance/migrateActors.php as
+ soon as any necessary extensions are updated.
+ * Most code accessing rows for logged actions from the database should use
+ the relevant getQueryInfo() methods to get the information needed to build
+ the SQL query. The ActorMigration class may also be used to get feature
+ -flagged information needed to access actor-related fields during the
+ migration period.
+* Added Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::cancelAtomic(), to roll back an atomic
+ section without having to roll back the whole transaction.
+* Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::doAtomicSection(), non-native ::insertSelect(),
+ and non-MySQL ::replace() and ::upsert() no longer roll back the whole
+ transaction on failure.
+* (T189785) Added a monthly heartbeat ping to the pingback feature.
+* The CLI installer (maintenance/install.php) learned to detect and include
+ extensions. Pass --with-extensions to enable that feature.
+* (T184791) rc_patrolled now has three states: "0" for unpatrolled,
+ "1" for manually patrolled and "2" for autopatrolled actions.
+* Extensions can now set their type to "editor" if they provide an editor or
+ enhance the editing experience.
+* Extensions can use a PSR-4 autoloader by setting an "AutoloadNamespaces"
+ property in extension.json. See the documentation at
+ <https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extension.json/Schema#AutoloadNamespaces>
+ for more details and an example.
+* (T19099) Tabs which link to pages that don't exist (like those to uncreated
+ discussion pages) now have a tooltip to indicate state, not just colour.
+
+=== External library changes in 1.31 ===
+* pear/mail, pear/mail_mime and pear/mail_mime-decode have been moved from
+ suggested to required. These packages now must be installed via composer
+ and not via PEAR itself.
+

+* mediawiki/at-ease was replaced with wikimedia/at-ease.
+
+=== Bug fixes in 1.31 ===
+* (T90902) Non-breaking space in header ID breaks anchor.
+* (T189375) CSSMin now allows quoted urls in `url()` syntax to start with a
+ space.
+* (T2087, T10897, T87753, T174639) Whitespace created by category and language

+
+=== Action API changes in 1.31 ===
+* (T185058) The 'name' value to tgprop for action=query&list=tags has been
+ removed. It has never made a difference in the output, the name was always
+ returned regardless.
+* The 'watch' and 'unwatch' parameters for action=move have been removed. They
+ were deprecated and also accidentally nonfunctional since 1.17 in 2010. Use
+ 'watchlist' instead.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.31 ===
+* ApiBase::getProfileDBTime, deprecated since 1.25, was removed.
+* ApiBase::getModuleProfileName, deprecated since 1.25, was removed.

+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Phabricator reports.

+* The global function wfCountDown is now deprecated in favor of
+ Maintenance::countDown.
+* Several methods for returning lists of fields to select from the database

+ to select from and the join conditions for those tables.
+ * Block::selectFields() → Block::getQueryInfo()

+ Maintenance::fatalError() instead.

+ Callers should use the new stateless $options parameter to

+ was not being used for that. Rather, setRef() existed as memory optimisation
+ for PHP 4.
+* QuickTemplate::setTranslator() and MediaWikiI18N::set() were deprecated in
+ favour of Skin::msg() parameters.
+* MediaWikiI18N::translate() was deprecated in favour of Skin::msg() or
+ wfMessage().

+ 'unwrap' transform to ParserOutput::getText() instead.
+* \ObjectFactory (no namespace) is deprecated, the namespaced class
+ \Wikimedia\ObjectFactory from the wikimedia/object-factory library should be
+ used instead.
+* CommentStore::newKey is deprecated. Instead, get an instance from
+ MediaWikiServices.

+ * CommentStore::getComment
+ * CommentStore::getCommentLegacy
+ * CommentStore::insert
+ * CommentStore::insertWithTemplate
+* The following methods in Title have been renamed, and the old ones are
+ deprecated:

+ * Title::isCssOrJsPage – use ::isSiteConfigPage
+ * Title::isCssJsSubpage – use ::isUserConfigPage
+ * Title::isCssSubpage – use ::isUserCssConfigPage
+ * Title::isJsSubpage – use ::isUserJsConfigPage
+* The following methods related to caching of half-parsed HTML were deprecated:
+ * Parser::serializeHalfParsedText()
+ * Parser::unserializeHalfParsedText()
+ * Parser::isValidHalfParsedText()
+ * StripState::getSubState()
+ * StripState::merge()
+* The DeferredStringifier class is deprecated, use Message::listParam() instead.
+* The type string for the parameter $lang of DateFormatter::getInstance is
+ deprecated.
+* Wikimedia\Rdbms\SavepointPostgres is deprecated.
+* The DO_MAINTENANCE constant is deprecated. RUN_MAINTENANCE_IF_MAIN should be
+ used instead.
+* The function wfShellWikiCmd() has been deprecated, use
+ MediaWiki\Shell::makeScriptCommand().
+* In the future, the hooks 'PreferencesFormPreSave' and 'PreferencesGetLegend'
+ will be allowed to provide any HTMLForm object rather than PreferencesForm.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.31 ===
+* Browser support for Internet Explorer 10 was lowered from Grade A to Grade C.
+* Browser support for Opera 12 and older was dropped entirely. Opera 15+
+ continues at Grade A.
+* Multi-content-revision capability was introduced into the storage layer. See
+ <https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Multi-Content_Revisions>.
+* The "free" CSS class is now only applied to unbracketed URLs in wikitext.
+ Links written using square brackets will get the class "text" not "free".
+* RFC 157418: Whitespace is trimmed from wikitext headings, wikitext list items,
+ wikitext table captions, wikitext table headings, wikitext table cells. HTML
+ headings, HTML list items, HTML table captions, HTML table headings, HTML
+ table cells will not have this trimming behavior.
+
+== Compatibility ==
+MediaWiki 1.31 requires PHP 7.0.0 or later. Although HHVM 3.18.5 or later is
+supported, it is generally advised to use PHP 7.0.0 or later for long term
+support.
+
+MySQL/MariaDB is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used,
+but support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
+Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
+
+The supported versions are:
+
+* MySQL 5.5.8 or later
+* PostgreSQL 9.2 or later
+* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
+* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
+* Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
+
+== Upgrading ==
+1.31 has several database changes since 1.30, and will not work without schema
+updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
+table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
+many hours on a large site).
+
+Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
+
+See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
+important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
+
+For notes on 1.30.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
+
+== Online documentation ==
+Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
+MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
+for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):
+
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Documentation
+
+== Mailing list ==
+A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:
+
+ https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
+
+A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
+
+ https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
