Change notes from older releases. For current info see RELEASE-NOTES.
+== MediaWiki 1.12 ==
+
+This is the Winter 2007 quarterly release.
+
+MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
+quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
+"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
+
+Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
+from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
+will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
+
+Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
+it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.12 ===
+* Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the
+ markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used.
+ This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group.
+* MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration
+ variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e.
+ to not check and assume they are always up to date)
+* The rollback permission can now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism.
+* New configuration variable $wgExtraLanguageNames
+* Behaviour of $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups changed. New behaviour:
+* * Granting the userrights privilege allows arbitrary changing of rights.
+* * Without the userrights privilege, a user will be able to add and/or
+ remove the groups specified in $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups for
+ any groups they are in.
+* New permission userrights-interwiki for changing user rights on foreign wikis.
+* $wgImplictGroups for groups that are hidden from Special:Listusers, etc.
+* $wgAutopromote: automatically promote users who match specified criteria
+* $wgGroupsAddToSelf, $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf: allow users to add or remove
+ themselves from specified groups via Special:Userrights.
+* When $wgUseTidy has been enabled, PHP's Tidy module is now used if it is
+ present, in preference to an external Tidy executable which may or may not
+ be present. To force use of external Tidy even when the PHP module is
+ available, set $wgTidyInternal to false.
+
+
+=== New features in 1.12 ===
+* (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload
+* Add {{filepath:}} parser function to get full path to an uploaded file,
+ complementing {{fullurl:}} for pages.
+* (bug 11136) If using Postgres, search path is explicitly set if wgDBmwschema
+ is not set to 'mediawiki', allowing multiple mediawiki instances per user.

+* isValidEmailAddr hook added to User method of that name, to allow, e.g., re-
+ stricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain
+* Removed "Clear" link in watchlist editor tools, as people were afraid to
+ click it. Existing clear links will fall back to the raw editor, which is
+ very easy to clear your watchlist with.
+* (bug 1405) Add wgUseNPPatrol option to control patroling for new articles
+ on Special:Newpages
+* LogLine hook added to allow formatting custom entries in Special:Log.
+* Support for Iranian calendar

+ user page
+* Added --override switch for disabled pages in updateSpecialPages.php
+* Provide a unique message (ipb_blocked_as_range) if unblock of a single IP
+ fails
+ because it is part of a blocked range.
+* (bug 3973) Use a separate message for the email content when an account is
+ created by another user
+* dumpTextPass.php can spawn fetchText.php as a subprocess, which should restart
+ cleanly if database connections fail unpleasantly.
+* (bug 12028) Add Special:Listbots as shortcut for Special:Listusers/bot
+* (bug 9633) Add a predefined list of delete reasons to the deletion form
+* Show a warning message when creating/editing a user (talk) page but the user

+ extension
+* Add HTML ID's mw-read-only-warning and mw-anon-edit-warning to warnings when
+ editing to allow CSS styling.
+* Parser now returns list of sections
+* When a user is prohibited from creating a page, a title of "View source"
+ makes no sense, and there should be no "Return to [[Page]]" link.
+* (bug 12486) Protected titles now give a warning for privileged editors.
+* (bug 9939) Special:Search now sets focus to search input box when no existing
+ search is active
+* For Special:Userrights, use GET instead of POST to search for users.
+* Allow subpage syntax for Special:Userrights, i.e., Special:Userrights/Name.
+* When submitting changes on Special:Userrights, show the full form again, not
+ just the search box.
+* Added exception hooks
+* (bug 12574) Allow bots to specify whether an edit should be marked as a bot
+ edit, via the parameter 'bot'. (Default: '1')

+* (bug 11897) Add alias [[Special:CreateAccount]] & [[Special:Userlogin/signup]]
+ for Special:Userlogin?type=signup
+* (bug 12214) Add a predefined list of delete reasons to the file deletion form
+* Merged backends for OpenSearch suggestions and AJAX search.
+ 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 10365) Localization of Special:Version
+* When installing using Postgres, the Pl/Pgsql language is now checked for
+ and installed when at the superuser level.

+
+== Parser changes in 1.12 ==
+
+For help with migration to the MediaWiki 1.12 parser, please visit:
+
+http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_to_the_new_preprocessor
+
+The parser pass order has changed from
+
+ * Extension tag strip and render
+ * HTML normalisation and security
+ * Template expansion
+ * Main section...
+
+to
+
+ * Template and extension tag parse to intermediate representation
+ * Template expansion and extension rendering
+ * HTML normalisation and security
+ * Main section...
+
+The main effect of this for the user is that the rules for uncovered syntax
+have changed.
+
+Uncovered main-pass syntax, such as HTML tags, are now generally valid, whereas
+previously in some cases they were escaped. For example, you could have "<ta" in
+one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a
+valid <table> tag. Previously the result would have been "<table>".
+
+Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you
+have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be
+converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This
+was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in
+the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion
+will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template
+expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security
+pass.
+
+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 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
+#switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a
+significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from
+Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement
+by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration.
+
+The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient
+way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance
+anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default
+limit.
+
+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.

+== MediaWiki 1.11 ==
+
+This is the Summer 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
+
+MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
+quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
+"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
+
+Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
+from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
+will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
+
+Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
+it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
+
+== Configuration changes since 1.10 ==
+

+ usergroups

+ images to a fix value which makes views for anon unproportional and user
+ preferences useless
+* (bug 6072) Introducing 'border' keyword to the [[Image:]] syntax
