regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
-* BREAKING CHANGE (T91240): Language code "bh" is not valid in ISO 639 and
- was removed, so it will no longer alias to "bho". If you used "bh" as your
- wiki's $wgLanguageCode, you must update your configuration.
=== Other changes in 1.26 ===
* ChangeTags::tagDescription() will return false if the interface message
for the tag is disabled.
* Added PageHistoryPager::doBatchLookups hook.
+* Added ParserCacheSaveComplete to ParserCache
* supportsDirectEditing and supportsDirectApiEditing methods added to
-ContentHandler, to provide a way for ApiEditPage and EditPage to check
-if direct editing of content is allowed. These methods return false,
-by default for the ContentHandler base class and true for TextContentHandler
-and it's derivative classes (everything in core). For Content types that
-do not support direct editing, an alternative mechanism should be provided
-for editing, such as action overrides or specific api modules.

+* mediaWiki.confirmCloseWindow now returns an object of functions, instead of
+ one function. The callback can't be called directly any more. The callback
+ function is replaced with confirmCloseWindow.release().
+* Removed maintenance script deleteImageMemcached.php.
+* MWFunction::newObj() was removed (deprecated in 1.25).
+ ObjectFactory::getObjectFromSpec() should be used instead.
+* The parser will no longer randomize the string it uses to mark the place of
+ items that were stripped during parsing. It will use a fixed string instead.
+ This causes the parser to re-use the regular expressions it uses to search
+ and replace markers rather than generate novel expressions on each parse.
+ Re-using regular expressions will improve performance on HHVM and the
+ forthcoming PHP 7. The interfaces changes accompanying this change are:
+ - Parser::getRandomString() and Parser::uniqPrefix() have been deprecated.
+ - The $uniq_prefix argument for Parser::extractTagsAndParams() and the
+ $prefix argument for StripState::_construct() are deprecated and their
+ value is ignored.
