=== Configuration changes in 1.12 ===
-
-=== Removed features in 1.12 ===
-* {{REVISIONID}} will no longer give the correct revision ID for current revision
- views. It will still work for history views.
+* 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.
=== New features in 1.12 ===
* (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload
* Add ot=raw to Special:Allmessages
* Support for Hebrew calendar
* Support for Hebrew numerals in dates and times
-* (bug 11315) Signatures can be configured in [[MediaWiki:Signature]] and [[MediaWiki:Signature-ip]]
+* (bug 11315) Signatures can be configured in [[MediaWiki:Signature]] and
+ [[MediaWiki:Signature-anon]]
* Signatures for anonymous users link to Special:Contributions page rather than 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 fixes in 1.12 ===
* (bug 11921) Support plural in message number_of_watching_users_pageview
* If an IP address is blocked as part of a rangeblock, attempting to unblock
the single IP should not unblock the entire range.
+* (bug 6695) Fix native language name of Southern Sotho (Sesotho) (st)
+* Make action=render follow redirects by default
+* If restricted read access was enabled, whitelist didn't work with special
+ pages which had spaces in theirs names
+* If restricted read access was enabled, requests for non-existing special pages
+ threw an exception
+* Feeds for recent changes now provide correct URLs for the change, not just
+ the page
+* Check for if IP is blocked as part of a range when unblocking (see above bug-
+ fix) was faulty. Now fixed.
+* Fixed wpReason URL parameter to action=delete.
+* Do not force a password for account creation by email
+* Ensure that rate-limiting is applied to rollbacks.
+* Make a better rate-limiting error message (i.e. a normal MW error,
+ rather than an "Internal Server Error").
+* Do not present an image bigger than the source when 'frameless' option is used
+ (to be consistent with the 'thumb' option now)
+
+== Parser changes in 1.12 ==
+
+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.
+
+The rules for template expansion during message transformation were
+counterintuitive, mostly accidental and buggy. There are a few small changes in
+this version: for example, templates with dynamic names, as in "{{ {{a}} }}",
+are fully expanded as they are in HTML mode, whereas previously only the inner
+template was expanded. I'd like to make some larger breaking changes to message
+transformation, after a review of typical use cases.
+
+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 or comment removal 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.
