Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
-== MediaWiki 1.12 ==
+== MediaWiki 1.13 ==
THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
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-* MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date.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 9939) Special:Search now sets focus to search input box when no existing
- search is active

- unfamiliar with the site might guess what the colour means.

-== 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.
