* (T69341) SVG images will no longer be base64-encoded when being embedded
in CSS. This results in slight size increase before gzip compression (due to
percent-encoding), but up to 20% decrease after it.
-* Upgrade jStorage to v0.4.12.
+* Update jStorage to v0.4.12.
* MediaWiki now natively supports page status indicators: icons (or short text
snippets) usually displayed in the top-right corner of the page. They have
been in use on Wikipedia for a long time, implemented using templates and CSS
installed via composer will not be shown in this section as it is assumed
they will add the proper credits to the skins or extensions section.
* Update QUnit from v1.14.0 to v1.16.0.
+* Update Moment.js from v2.8.3 to v2.8.4.
==== External libraries ====
* MediaWiki now requires certain external libraries to be installed. In the past
* The following libraries are now required:
** psr/log
This library provides the interfaces set by the PSR-3 standard (http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/)
- which are used by MediaWiki interally by the MWLogger class.
+ which are used by MediaWiki internally via the MWLoggerFactory class.
See the structured logging RfC (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Structured_logging)
for more background information.
** cssjanus/cssjanus
on action=info about a file page does not list file links anymore.
* (T78637) Search bar is not autofocused unless it is empty so that proper scrolling using arrow keys is possible.
* (T50853) Database::makeList() modified to handle 'NULL' separately when building IN clause
+* (T85192) Captcha position modified in Usercreate template. As a result:
+** extrafields parameter added to Usercreate.php to insert additional data
+** 'extend' method added to QuickTemplate to append additional values to any field of data array
+* (T86974) Several Title methods now load from the database when necessary
+ (instead of returning incorrect results) even when the page ID is known.
=== Action API changes in 1.25 ===
* (T67403) XML tag highlighting is now only performed for formats
rather than as strings that must be prepended or appended to $comment.
* (T30950, T31025) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" can no longer contain
newlines; but they can contain and other non-newline whitespace.
+* The 'mediawiki.action.edit' ResourceLoader module no longer generates the edit
+ toolbar, which has been moved to a separate 'mediawiki.toolbar' module. If you
+ relied on this behavior, update your scripts' dependencies.
+* HTMLForm's 'vform' display style has been separated to a subclass. Therefore:
+ * HTMLForm::isVForm() is now deprecated.
+ * You can no longer do this:
+ $form = new HTMLForm( … );
+ $form->setDisplayFormat( 'vform' ); // throws exception
+ Instead, do this:
+ $form = HTMLForm::factory( 'vform', … );
+* Deprecated Revision methods getRawUser(), getRawUserText() and getRawComment().
