file repository

similarly to the category namespace.

+* If $wgLocaltimezone is null, use the server's timezone as the default for
+ signatures. This was always the behaviour documented in DefaultSettings.php
+ but has not been the actual behaviour for some time: instead, UTC was used
+ by default.
+* Added $wgExtensionAssetsPath, to decouple assets serving from $wgScriptPath.
+ If not specified it will default to $wgScriptPath/extensions
+* Added $wgCountTotalSearchHits to make search UI display total number of hits
+ with some search engines.
+* Added $wgAdvertisedFeedTypes to decide what feed types (RSS, Atom, both, or
+ neither) MediaWiki advertises. Default is array( 'atom' ), so RSS is no
+ longer advertised by default (but it still works).
