sitewide CSS/JS (and editing other users' CSS/JS). No other group has
'editsitecss', 'editusercss', 'editsitejs' or 'edituserjs' by default.
* A new grant group, 'editsiteconfig', is added for granting the above rights.
+* The $wgPasswordSenderName setting, ignored since 1.23 by MediaWiki and almost
+ all extensions, is no longer set at all. Instead, you can modify the system
+ message `emailsender`.
=== New features in 1.32 ===
* (T112474) Generalized the ResourceLoader mechanism for overriding modules
additional links to the subtitle of a history page.
* The 'GetLinkColours' hook now receives an additional $title parameter,
the Title object of the page being parsed, on which the links will be shown.
+* (T194731) DifferenceEngine supports multiple slots. Added SlotDiffRenderer to
+ render diffs between two Content objects, and DifferenceEngine::setRevisions()
+ to render diffs between two custom (potentially multi-content) revisions.
+ Added GetSlotDiffRenderer hook which works like GetDifferenceEngine for slots.
=== External library changes in 1.32 ===
* …
* action=query&prop=deletedrevisions, action=query&list=allrevisions, and
action=query&list=alldeletedrevisions are changed similarly to
&prop=revisions (see the three previous items).
+* (T174032) action=compare now supports multi-content revisions.
+ * It has a 'slots' parameter to select diffing of individual slots. The
+ default behavior is to return one combined diff.
+ * The 'fromtext', 'fromsection', 'fromcontentmodel', 'fromcontentformat',
+ 'totext', 'tosection', 'tocontentmodel', and 'tocontentformat' parameters
+ are deprecated. Specify the new 'fromslots' and 'toslots' to identify which
+ slots have text supplied and the corresponding templated parameters for
+ each slot.
+ * The behavior of 'fromsection' and 'tosection' of extracting one section's
+ content is not being preserved. 'fromsection-{slot}' and 'tosection-{slot}'
+ instead expand the given text as if for a section edit. This effectively
+ declines T183823 in favor of T185723.
=== Action API internal changes in 1.32 ===
* Added 'ApiParseMakeOutputPage' hook.
Set $wgShowExceptionDetails and/or $wgShowHostnames instead.
* The $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace global is deprecated and nonfunctional.
Set $wgShowExceptionDetails instead.
-* Public access to the DifferenceEngine properties mOldid, mNewid, mOldPage,
- mNewPage, mOldContent, mNewContent, mRevisionsLoaded, mTextLoaded and
- mCacheHit is deprecated. Use getOldid() / getNewid() for the first two,
- do your own lookup for page/content. mNewRev / mOldRev remains public.
+* Public access to the DifferenceEngine properties mOldid, mNewid, mOldRev,
+ mNewRev, mOldPage, mNewPage, mOldContent, mNewContent, mRevisionsLoaded,
+ mTextLoaded and mCacheHit is deprecated. Use getOldid() / getNewid() /
+ getOldRevision() / getNewRevision() for the first four (note that the
+ revision ones return a RevisionRecord, not a Revision), do your own lookup
+ for page/content.
* The $wgExternalDiffEngine value 'wikidiff2' is deprecated. To use wikidiff2
just enable the PHP extension, and it will be autodetected.
+* (T194731) DifferenceEngine properties mOldContent and mNewContent and methods
+ setContent(), generateContentDiffBody(), generateTextDiffBody() and textDiff()
+ are deprecated. To interact with a single slot, use a SlotDiffRenderer (and
+ subclass it to customize diff rendering); to diff custom (e.g. unsaved)
+ content, use setRevisions(). Subclassing DifferenceEngine should only be done
+ to customize page-level diff properties (such as the navigation header).
* The wfUseMW function, soft-deprecated in 1.26, is now hard deprecated.
* All MagicWord static methods are now deprecated. Use the MagicWordFactory
methods instead.
* All SpecialPageFactory static methods are deprecated. Instead, call the
methods on a SpecialPageFactory instance, which may be obtained from
MediaWikiServices.
+* mw.user.stickyRandomId was renamed to the more explicit
+ mw.user.getPageviewToken to better capture its function.
=== Other changes in 1.32 ===
* (T198811) The following tables have had their UNIQUE indexes turned into
