For example, you could have "" in another template, and put them together to make a +valid tag. Previously the result would have been "<table>". + +Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you +have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be +converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This +was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in +the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion +will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template +expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security +pass. + +The rules for template expansion during message transformation were +counterintuitive, mostly accidental and buggy. There are a few small changes in +this version: for example, templates with dynamic names, as in "{{ {{a}} }}", +are fully expanded as they are in HTML mode, whereas previously only the inner +template was expanded. I'd like to make some larger breaking changes to message +transformation, after a review of typical use cases. + +The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section +edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a +whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by +template expansion or comment removal will still be rendered into a heading tag, +and will get an entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link. +HTML-style headings will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext +headings present in the template source text will get a template section edit +link. This is a major break from previous behaviour, but I believe the effects +are almost entirely beneficial. + +The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass +preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed +#switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a +significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from +Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement +by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration. + +The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient +way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance +anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default +limit. + +The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so +extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes. === API changes in 1.12 === @@ -135,34 +269,56 @@ Full API documentation is available at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API * Add rctype parameter to list=recentchanges that filters by type * Add apprtype and apprlevel parameters to filter list=allpages by protection types and levels * Add apdir parameter to enable listing all pages from Z to A +* (bug 11721) Use a different title for results than for the help page. +* (bug 11562) Added a user_registration parameter/field to the list=allusers query. +* (bug 11588) Preserve document structure for empty dataset in backlinks query. +* Outputting list of all user preferences rather than having to request them by name +* (bug 11206) api.php should honor maxlag === Languages updated in 1.12 === +* Afrikaans (af) +* Akan (ak) (new) * Amharic (am) (new) +* Aragonese (an) +* Old English (ang) (new) * Arabic (ar) +* Aramaic (arc) * Mapudungun (arn) (new) +* Assamese (as) * Asturian (ast) +* Aymara (ay) * Samogitian (bat-smg) +* Boarisch (bar) * Bikol Central (bcl) * Belarusian Taraskievica orthography (be-tarask) * Bulgarian (bg) * Bislama (bi) (new) +* Bamanankan (bm) * Bengali (bn) * Bishnupriya Manipuri (bpy) * Breton (br) +* Buginese (bug) (new) * Catalan (ca) +* Zamboangueño (cbk-zam) (new) +* Chechen (ce) +* Cebuano (ceb) (new) * Czech (cs) * Cassubian (csb) +* Old Church Slavonic (cu) * Welsh (cy) * Danish (da) * German (de) * Lower Sorbian (dsb) (new) +* Divehi (dv) * Ewe (ee) (new) * Greek (el) +* English (en) * Spanish (es) * Extremaduran (ext) * Finnish (fi) * Persian (fa) +* Fulah (ff) * Võro (fiu-vro) * Faroese (fo) * French (fr) @@ -172,46 +328,87 @@ Full API documentation is available at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API * Irish (ga) * Gön-gnŷ (gan) (new) * Galician (gl) +* Gilaki (glk) (new) * Ancient Greek (grc) (new) +* Swiss German (gsw) * Hakka (hak) * Hebrew (he) * Croatian (hr) * Upper Sorbian (hsb) +* Hungarian (hu) * Armenian (hy) +* Interlingua (ia) * Indonesian (id) * Ingush (inh) (new) * Icelandic (is) * Italian (it) * Japanese (ja) +* Georgian (ka) +* Kara-Kalpak (kaa) +* Kabyle (kab) * Kazakh (kk) +* Kannada (kn) * Korean (ko) +* Kölsch (ksh) +* Kurdish (Latin) (ku-latn) +* Cornish (kw) (new) * Latin (la) +* Luxembourgish (lb) (new) +* Lak (lbe) (new) * Limbugian (li) +* Lozi (loz) (new) +* Lingala (ln) * Lithuanian (lt) +* Malayalam (ml) +* Macedonian (mk) * Malay (ms) +* Erzya (myv) (new) * Nahuatl (nah) * Min-nan (nan) * Low Saxon (nds) * Dutch Low Saxon (nds-nl) +* Newari (new) (new) * Dutch (nl) * Norwegian (no) +* Occitan (oc) +* Deitsch (pdc) (new) +* Polish (pl) +* Piemontèis (pms) +* Pontic (pnt) (new) +* Pashto (ps) * Portugese (pt) +* Quechua (qu) +* Rhaeto-Romance (rm) (new) * Romanian (ro) * Russian (ru) * Sakha (sah) +* Sardinian (sc) * Sicilian (scn) +* Sindhi (sd) * Sassarese (sdc) (new) * Seri (sei) (new) * Tachelhit (shi) * Slovak (sk) * Serbian (Cyrillic) (sr-ec) +* Swati (ss) (new) +* Saterland Frisian (stq) (new) * Sundanese (su) * Swedish (sv) * Tamil (ta) +* Teluga (te) * Tetun (tet) (new) +* Tajik (tg) * Tagalog (tl) (new) +* Turkish (tr) +* Tuvinian (tyv) +* Uyghur (ug) +* Venitian (vec) +* Vietnamese (vi) * West Flemish (vls) +* Volapük (vo) * Walloon (wa) +* Wolof (wo) +* Wu (wuu) (new) * Yiddish (yi) * Cantonese (yue) * Zhuang (za)
