correctly (img_auth only)
* $wgUploadMaintenance added to disable file deletions and restorations during
maintenance
-* UserLoginForm and UserCreateForm hooks, and AuthPlugin::modifyUITemplate, now receive a
- SpecialPage subclass instead of a QuickTemplate subclass. Hence there is no
- $template->set(), etc. The hook has access to most of the stuff that will go into the
- Login/Create form; see the documentation on HTMLForm for syntax for extra fields.
- LoginForm class is deprecated, its state constants are now in the Login class.
* New hook AbortNewAccountAuto, called before account creation from AuthPlugin-
or ExtUser-driven requests.
* Added $wgUseAJAXCategories allow enabling AJAX based categories system.
This works on all namespaces. Enabled namespaces can be reduces using
$wgAJAXCategoriesNamespaces.
-* Admins could disable some variants using $wgDisabledVariants now. ONLY apply on
- wikis enabled LanguageConverter.
-* A new permission, 'root', is created. Analogous to root users on Unix systems,
- the root permission effectively grants all other permissions on a wiki. Useful
- for debugging and administration.
-* (bug 16979) Tracking categories for __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__
-* New configuration variable $wgShowPageOnRedlink that can be set to show the page
- instead of an edit interface when visiting a red link. The value can be specified
- for specific usergroups and namespaces.

+ be rendered.
+* (bug 3421) Live preview no longer breaks user CSS/JS previews
+* (bug 11264) The file logo on a file description page for documents (PDF, ...)
+ now links to the file rather than the file description page
+* Password fields built with HTMLForm now still have the type="password" attribute
+ if $wgHtml5=false.
