by default.
* $wgGrantPermissions – A new grant group, 'editsiteconfig', is added for
granting the above rights.
+* $wgDBDefaultGroup – A default database group for use by maintenance scripts.
+* $wgResourceLoaderEnableJSProfiler – This new configuration setting lets you
+ enable client-side profiling of JavaScript modules; it is off by default.
+* (T193868) $wgChangeTagsSchemaMigrationStage — This temporary configuration
+ setting allows sysadmins to gradually migrate the database table schema for
+ how change tags are stored.
+* (T199334) $wgTagStatisticsNewTable — This temporary configuration setting
+ allows sysadmins to enable the caching of Special:Tags via the new
+ change_tag_def table.
==== Changed configuration ====
* $wgUseAjax – This setting, deprecated in 1.31, is now ignored.
MIGRATION_WRITE_NEW. It instead uses SCHEMA_COMPAT_WRITE_BOTH |
SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_OLD and SCHEMA_COMPAT_WRITE_BOTH | SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_NEW
for intermediate stages of migration.
+* $wgDBTableOptions – The default table options now use the binary charset. The
+ default was already overridden in the installer-generated LocalSettings.php,
+ and so is always set to binary after the installer UI option was removed. The
+ default value is only used when the installer installs an extension.
+* $wgPopularPasswordFile — The location of the default popular passwords file
+ has been moved to be in line with other non-PHP files used by libraries and
+ classes.
+* $wgEnableImageWhitelist is now disabled by default, as it opens up a hole for
+ potential privacy leaks by administrators. You can check
+ "MediaWiki:External image whitelist" on your wiki to see whether the feature
+ was ever used, and whether it needs to be re-enabled.
==== Removed configuration ====
* $wgEnableAPI and $wgEnableWriteAPI – These settings, deprecated in 1.31,
message `emailsender`.
* $wgTidyConfig – The experimental Html5Internal and Html5Depurate tidy drivers
were removed. RemexHtml, which is the default, should be used instead.
+* (T181318) The $wgStyleVersion setting and its appendage to various script and
+ style URLs in OutputPage, deprecated in 1.31, was removed.
+* (T140807) The wgResourceLoaderLESSImportPaths configuration option was removed
+ from ResourceLoader. Instead, use `@import` statements in LESS to import
+ files directly from nearby directories within the same project.
+* (T140804) The wgResourceLoaderLESSVars configuration option, deprecated
+ since 1.30, was removed. Instead, to expose variables from PHP to LESS, use
+ the ResourceLoaderModule::getLessVars() method.
+* $wgResourceLoaderValidateStaticJS – This setting, unused since MediaWiki 1.18,
+ was removed.
+* Two temporary variables for deploying the feature of filters on change lists,
+ $wgStructuredChangeFiltersShowPreference introduced in MediaWiki 1.30 and
+ $wgStructuredChangeFiltersOnWatchlist in 1.31, were removed.

+ old "bulletin board style toolbar", known as "the 2006 wikitext editor", has
+ been removed, and instead sysadmins will be required to choose one (or more)
+ of the several extensions available for this purpose if they need the
+ functionality. The MediaWiki "tarball" releases have included the replacement

+ for many years now. As part of this, several parts of MediaWiki have been
+ removed or simplified:
+ * The user option 'showtoolbar' (shown as "Show edit toolbar") is no longer
+ available; if an extension adds a toolbar via the EditPageBeforeEditToolbar
+ hook, it will be shown; extensions should provide a specific user preference
+ to disable themselves as needed.
+ * The public methods Language::getImageFile() and ::getImageFiles(), and the
+ related specification of $imageFiles within individual languages' code file,
+ as well as the referenced static media assets, all of which were only used
+ inside MediaWiki itself for providing the icons for the old toolbar, have
+ been removed without explicit deprecation.
+ * The internal ResourceLoader module "mediawiki.toolbar", which is unused
+ except by MediaWiki itself and back-compatibility code, has been removed.
+ * The internal ResourceLoaderEditToolbarModule class has been removed.
=== Deprecations in 1.32 ===

+ In particular, running MediaWiki with tidy disabled has been deprecated.
* (T198214) OutputPage::addWikiText(), OutputPage::addWikiTextWithTitle(),
and OutputPage::addWikiTextTitle() have been deprecated, since they
can result in untidy output. In addition OutputPage::addWikiTextTidy()
* The $wgUseKeyHeader configuration option and the
OutputPage::getKeyHeader() method have been deprecated; the relevant
draft IETF spec expired without becoming a standard.
+* Deprecated API action=query&prop=info inprop=readable in favor of
+ intestactions=read.
=== Other changes in 1.32 ===
* (T198811) The following tables have had their UNIQUE indexes turned into
