=== New user-facing features in 1.34 ===
* Special:Mute has been added as a quick way for users to block unwanted emails
from other users originating from Special:EmailUser.
+* (T207577) Special:NewSection has been created as a shortcut to creating a new
+ section on a page. When linked to, its subpage is used as the target
+ ([[Special:NewSection/Test]] redirects to creating a new section in "Test").
+ Otherwise, it displays a basic interface to allow the end user to specify
+ the target manually.
=== New developer features in 1.34 ===
* The ImgAuthModifyHeaders hook was added to img_auth.php to allow modification
template option 'searchaction' instead.
* LoadBalancer::haveIndex() and LoadBalancer::isNonZeroLoad() have
been deprecated.
+* FileBackend::getWikiId() has been deprecated.
+ Use FileBackend::getDomainId() instead.
* User::getRights() and User::$mRights have been deprecated. Use
PermissionManager::getUserPermissions() instead.
* The LocalisationCacheRecache hook no longer allows purging of message blobs
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_CHARS.
* SearchUpdate constructor: passing a string as the title param and or a boolean
or a string as the content will produce a deprecation warning.
+* SearchEngine::getTextFromContent() is deprecated, use getTextForSearchIndex()
+ directly from the Content object.
+* SearchEngine::textAlreadyUpdatedForIndex() is deprecated, given the
+ deprecation above this method is no longer needed/called and should not be
+ implemented by SearchEngine implementation.
