Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN -=== Configuration changes in 1.12 === -* Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the - markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used. - This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group. -* MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration - variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e. - to not check and assume they are always up to date) -* The rollback permission can now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism. -* New configuration variable $wgExtraLanguageNames -* Behaviour of $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups changed. New behaviour: -* * Granting the userrights privilege allows arbitrary changing of rights. -* * Without the userrights privilege, a user will be able to add and/or - remove the groups specified in $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups for - any groups they are in. -* New permission userrights-interwiki for changing user rights on foreign wikis. -* $wgImplictGroups for groups that are hidden from Special:Listusers, etc. -* $wgAutopromote: automatically promote users who match specified criteria -* $wgGroupsAddToSelf, $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf: allow users to add or remove - themselves from specified groups via Special:Userrights. -* When $wgUseTidy has been enabled, PHP's Tidy module is now used if it is - present, in preference to an external Tidy executable which may or may not - be present.

For example, you could have "<ta" in -one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a -valid <table> 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 === - -Full API documentation is available at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API - -* (bug 11275) Enable descending sort in categorymembers -* (bug 11308) Allow the API to output the image metadata -* (bug 11296) Temporary fix for escaping of ampersands inside links in - pretty-printed - help document. -* (bug 11405) Expand templates implementation in the API -* (bug 11218) Add option to feedwatchlist to display multiple revisions for each - page. -* (bug 11404) Provide name of exception caught in error code field of internal - api error messages. -* (bug 11534) rvendid doesn't work -* Fixed rvlimit of the revisions query to only enforce the lower query limit if - revision content is requested. -* Include svn revision number (if install is checked-out from svn) in siteinfo - query. -* (bug 11173) Allow limited wikicode rendering via api.php -* (bug 11572) API should provide interface for expanding templates -* (bug 11569) Login should return the cookie prefix -* (bug 11632) Breaking change: Specify the type of a change in the recentchanges - list as 'edit', 'new', 'log' instead of 0, 1, 2, respectively. -* Compatibility fix for PHP 5.0.x. -* 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 -* Make prop=info check for restrictions in the old format too. -* Add apihighlimits permission, default for sysops and bots -* Add limit=max to use maximal limit -* Add action=parse to render parser output.
