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 === @@ -108,47 +290,98 @@ 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 +* (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 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. +* 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.
