== Configuration changes ==
-Several configuration options have changed since 1.8:
-
-=== $wgEnableAPI ===
-
-The experimental machine API interface is now enabled by default, read-only.
-You can disable it by setting $wgEnableAPI = false; in LocalSettings.php.
-
-=== $wgPathInfo ===
-
-The use of PATH_INFO (the text after the script name in 'index.php/Blah')
-is controlled by the $wgUsePathInfo setting. This is now explicitly disabled
-for CGI, apache2filter, and ISAPI configurations of PHP, for more consistency
-with the autodetection from the installer.
-
-In some rarer configurations you may have to switch $wgUsePathInfo from false
-to true or, perhaps, from true to false to make things work properly if bad
-PATH_INFO data comes through the server.
-
-The wiki now tries to detect this condition and should show you an error
-message describing what to change instead of sending the browser into an
-infinite redirect loop.
-
-=== $wgScript and other path settings ===
-
-The following configuration variables are now automatically set in Setup.php
-if they are not overridden in LocalSettings.php:
-
-from $wgScriptPath:
- + $wgScript
- | \- $wgArticlePath
- + $wgRedirectScript
- + $wgStylePath
- + $wgUploadPath
- \- $wgLogo
- + $wgMathPath
-
-from $IP:
- - $wgStyleDirectory
- + $wgUploadDirectory
- \- $wgMathDirectory
- + $wgTmpDirectory
-
-Newly generated configuration files will by default include only $wgScriptPath
-(hardcoded from the installer) and $IP (detected at runtime).
-
-Old configuration files which specify all these values explicitly should
-continue to work just fine, but if you use the defaults you can remove them
-to reduce clutter.
-
-=== $wgGroupPermissions ===
-
-The sysop group now holds the "autopatrol" and "ipblock-exempt" rights by
-default.
-
-"autopatrol" replaces the preference for marking ones own edits patrolled
-by default; users holding this permission will automatically have their
-edits patrolled, while others cannot mark their own edits as patrolled
-even if they have patrolling rights.
-
-"ipblock-exempt" excludes the user from IP blocks; accounts which are blocked
-explicitly by name will still be blocked, however. This is given to sysops
-to minimize annoyance from accidental "collateral damage"; remember that a
-sysop will be able to lift the block if they desire.
-
-The bot group now holds the "nominornewtalk" right. A user with this right
-will not trigger new message notifications when making minor edits to user
-talk pages. This is meant to minimize annoyance from maintenance bot
-processes.
-
-=== $wgUseWatchlistCache ===
-
-Watchlist caching has been removed. The feature was not maintained, and has
-been unnecessary since switching to the 'recentchanges' database table
-reduced server pressure for Wikipedia's watchlists.
-
-=== $wgBreakFrames ===
-
-MediaWiki in the past attempted to detect when it was embedded in a frameset
-and "break out" of it, assuming it to be hostile.
-
-This behavior is now disabled by default, but can be reenabled by setting
-$wgBreakFrames to true in LocalSettings.php.
-
-
-== New settings ==
-
-=== $wgVariantArticlePath ===
-
-For languages with script variant support (Chinese, Serbian, and others),
-it's possible to use alternate URL paths to select the variant for article
-display, setting $wgVariantArticlePath.
-
-Documentation for this setting would be useful.
-
-=== $wgMaxMsgCacheEntrySize ===
-
-The message cache can now skip items larger than a given size; this allows
-it to better handle the primary caching case when large CSS and JS blobs are
-present.
-
-=== $wgStyleVersion ===
-
-When making significant changes to skin stylesheets and JavaScript files,
-you can append a string to this variable to tweak the generated URLs,
-forcing newly rendered pages to bring in a fresh version despite server-
-or browser-side caching.
-
-Normally this will be set in the course of MediaWiki development, but
-if doing development on a custom skin you may wish to poke it as well.
-
-=== $wgRCShowChangedSize ===
-
-Special:Recentchanges and Special:Watchlist now show the number of bytes
-added or removed to an article to give an idea of the size of the edit.
-This information was previously available only in the IRC update feeds.
-
-To disable this site-wide, set $wgRCShowChangedSize to false.
-(Individual users can suppress the data in custom CSS.)
-
-Adjust $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold to trigger highlighting of particularly
-large changes.
-
-The formatting of the size figure can be adjusted through the
-[[MediaWiki:Rc-change-size]] message.
-
-=== $wgQueryCacheLimit ===
-
-The number of rows stored for "expensive" special pages in miser mode
-can now be adjusted up or down from the default 1000.
-
-=== $wgDisableQueryPageUpdate ===
-
-Individual "expensive" special pages can be skipped in processing by
-updateSpecialPages if added to this list.
-
-=== $wgSorbsUrl ===
-
-The base hostname for the DNS-based proxy blacklist can now be overridden
-when $wgEnableSorbs is set, to use a different blacklist instead of SORBS.
-The blacklist would need to respond the same was as SORBS; any positive
-response will be taken as a proxy.
-
-=== $wgAjaxWatch ===
-
-Experimental AJAX mode for the watch/unwatch tabs to execute inline.
-Does not include the UI messages describing how to reach the watchlist,
-so you may not want it on a general-audience site just yet.
-
-=== $wgParserTestFiles ===
-
-MediaWiki's parser test suite can now be expanded with additional test
-files. Custom extensions can add their test files to this array, and
-they will be run along with the main tests by maintenance/parserTests.php
+=== $wgCommandLineDarkBg ==
+A new switch used by maintenance scripts (parserTests.php). It lets you specify
+if your terminal use a dark background, the colorized output will be made
+lighter making things easier to read.

- new version requirements
-* Do a check for the PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug, since this is much more disruptive

-* (bug 7554) The correct MIME type for SVG images is now displayed on the
- image page (image/svg+xml, not image/svg).
-* (bug 7883) Added autoblock whitelisting feature, using which specific ranges
- can be protected from autoblocking. These ranges are specified, in list format,

- (with a functionality similar to diff rev1 rev2 | patch -R rev3 -o rev3).
- This is triggered by including &undo=revid in an edit URL. A link to a URL
- that will undo a given edit is shown on NEW revision headers on diff pages.
- The link leads to a "Show Changes" page showing what will be done to undo the
- edit.
-* Fix display of link in "already rolled back" message for image/category pages

- broken proxies that mangle such characters in form submissions
-* (bug 7461) Allow overwriting pages using importTextFile.php
-* (bug 7946) importTextFile.php doesn't perform pre-save transform
-* (bug 8117) {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} showed weird default if $wgLocalTZoffset set;
- now uses current time for previews and if timestamp can't be loaded from DB
-* {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} now uses site local timezone instead of user timezone
- to ensure consistent behavior
-* {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} and friends should now work on non-MySQL backends

-* Removed a redundant <strong> tag from diff pages that was causing display issues for some users
-* (bug 8203) The keyboard shortcut for "log out" was removed, because users were pressing it
- when they intended to press the shortcut for "preview".
-* (bug 8148) Handle non-removable output buffers gracefully when cleaning
- buffers for HTTP 304 responses, StreamFile, and Special:Export.
- Duplicated code merged into wfResetOutputBuffers() and wfClearOutputBuffers()
-* Special:AllPages : 'next page' link now point to the first title of the next
- chunk instead of pointing to the last title of current chunk.
-* (bug 4673) Special:AllPages : add a 'previous' link (new message 'prevpage')
-* (bug 8121) wfRandom() was not between 0 and 1
-* Add static method Parser::createAssocArgs($args), so parser functions can
- use the same code to parse arguments as the templates do.
-* Change behavior of logins using the temporary e-mailed password (as stored
- in user_newpassword hash field). Instead of just logging in silently and
- leaving the previous user_password field in place indefinitely, the user
- is now prompted to set a new password.
-
- The password-changing form is at Special:Resetpass; currently it's only
- usable for changing from the temporary password during login, but it
- could perhaps be generalized, replacing the subform in preferences.
-
- Once the new password is set successfully, the temporary password is wiped
- so it cannot be used to login a second time, and the login process
- is completed.
-* Suppress 'mail new password' button on login form if $wgAuth forbids
- changing user passwords; it wouldn't work very well...
-* Consolidate password length checks and $wgAuth manipulation into
- User::setPassword() to avoid duplicate code in different places
- that set passwords.
-* User::setPassword() now throws PasswordError exceptions if the password
- is illegal or cannot be set via $wgAuth. These can be caught and a human-
- readable error message displayed by UI code.
-* Added Title::isSubpage()
-* (bug 8241) Don't consider user pages of User:Foo.css to be CSS subpages
-* Set an explicit class on framed thumbnail inner divs and images, changed some
- CSS to use these instead of using descendent selectors.
-* Accept null parameter to User::setPassword() as indicating the password
- field should be cleared to an unusable state. Login will only be possible
- after the password is reset, for instance by e-mail.
-* (bug 6394) Invalidate the password set for "by e-mail" account creations
- to avoid accidental empty password creations.
-* Made the show change size function work on page moves, page creations, and
- log entries. Also fixed it in the javascript recentchanges.
-* (bug 8239) correctly get 50 new contributions when clicking '(50 next)'
-* (bug 2259) Fix old regression where e-mail addresses were no longer
- confirmed on login with mailed password.
-* Add a notification about the confirmation mail sent during account
- creation, so people don't immediately go off to request a second one.
-* Add a warning on Special:Confirmemail if a code was already sent and has
- not yet expired.
-* Add user_editcount field to provide data for heuristics on account use.
- Incremented on edit, with lazy initialization from past revision data.
- Can batch-initialize with maintenance/initEditCount.php (not yet friendly
- to replication environments, this will do all accounts in one query).
-* Allow raw SQL subsections in Database::update() SET portion as well as
- for WHERE portion. Handy for increments and such.
-* User::getOption now accept a default value to override default user values
- this makes it consistent with WebRequest::get* methods. Corrected code in
- various places accordingly.
-* (bug 8264) Fix JavaScript global vars for XHTML mode
-* Make $wgSiteNotice value wikitext again, for consistency with editable
- MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice.
-* (bug 8044) When redirecting from the canonical name of the special page
- to the localised one, parameters/subpages are omitted
-* (bug 8164) Special:Booksources should use GET for form submission
-* Rewrite Special:Booksources to clean up interface and remove redundant code
-* (bug 7925) Change Special:Allmessages message name filter javascript to be
- a bit more responsive and easier on the CPU
-* (bug 4488) Support watching pages on deletion; introduces new user preference
-* Minor restructuring of Special:Preferences; "watch pages I edit" and "watch
- pages I create" options now accessible under "Watchlist" options
-* (bug 8153) <nowiki> doesn't work in site notice
-* (bug 6690) wfMsgNoTrans() transforms messages
-* (bug 8274) Wrap edit tools in a <div> with a specified class
-* Detect PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug and abort in WebStart.php; too many things break
- mysteriously otherwise (detection code copied from install-utils.inc)
-* (bug 8295) Change handling of <center> tags in doBlockLevels() to match that
- of <div>
-* (bug 8110) Make magic ISBN linking stricter: only match ten-digit sequences
- (plus optional ISBN-13 prefix) with no immediately following alphanumeric
- character, disallow multiple consecutive internal redirects
-* (bug 2785) Accept optional colon prefix in links when formatting comments
-* Don't show "you can view and copy the source of this page" message for
- pages which don't exist
-* (bug 8310) Blank line added to top of 'post' when page is blank
-* (bug 8109) Template parameters ignored in "recentchangestext"
-* Gracefully skip redirect-to-fragment on WebKit versions less than 420;
- it messes up on current versions of Safari but is ok in the latest
- nightlies. Checking the version number will allow it to automatically
- work when new releases of Safari appear.
-* Fix regression in thumb styles; size and padding didn't match with
- new arrangement.
-* (bug 8333) Fix quick user data update on login password change on
- replication database setups. User data is now pulled from master
- instead of slave in User::loadFromDatabase, ensuring that it is
- fresh and accurate when read and then saved back into cache.
- This was breaking with the Special:Rename operation which
- automatically logs the user in with the new password after changing
- it; pulling from slave meant the record was often not the updated
- one.
-* (bug 8335) Set image width to the first valid parameter found.
-* (bug 8350) Fix watchlist viewing bug when using Postgres.
-* (bug 6603) When warning about invalid file extensions, output the bit
- of the extension we actually checked
-* (bug 7669) Drop defaults on BLOB/TEXT columns for better compatibility
- with MySQL's strict mode, often enabled by the Windows installer.
- The defaults are ignored anyway when strict mode is off...
-* (bug 7685) Use explicit values for ar_text and ar_flags when deleting,
- for better compatibility with MySQL's strict mode
-* Update default interwiki values to reflect changed location of ursine:
-* (bug 5411) Remove autopatrol preference
-* Users who have the "autopatrol" permission will have their edits marked as
- patrolled automatically
-* Users who do not have the "autopatrol" permission will no longer be able
- to mark their own edits as patrolled
-* Introduce 'PingLimiter' hook; see docs/hooks.txt for more information
-* (bug 532) Tweaked alt text for some interface messages
-* (bug 8231) Gave useful alt text to the main <img> on image pages
-* (bug 371) Remove alt text for "Enlarge" icon on thumbnails
-* Initialize user_editcount to 0 instead of NULL for newly created accounts
-* (bug 3696) Strip LRM and RLM characters from titles to work around the
- problem some people have where titles cut-and-pasted from lists include
- the bidi override characters appended to the lists.
- A more thorough blacklist for forbidden and translatable characters would

A MediaWiki-l mailing list has been set up distinct from the Wikipedia
wikitech-l list:
- http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
