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 1.16 === -* (bug 18222) $wgMinimalPasswordLength default is now 1 -* $wgSessionHandler can be used to configure session.save_handler -* $wgLocalFileRepo/$wgForeignFileRepos now have a 'fileMode' parameter to - be used when uploading/moving files -* (bug 18761) $wgHiddenPrefs is a new array for specifying preferences not - to be shown to users -* $wgAllowRealName and $wgAllowUserSkin were deprecated in favor of - $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'realname', but the former are still retained - for backwards-compatibility -* (bug 9257) $wgRCMaxAge now defaults to three months -* $wgDevelopmentWarnings can be set to true to show warnings about deprecated - functions and other potential errors when developing. -* Subpages are now enabled in the MediaWiki namespace by default. This is - mainly a cosmetic change, and does not in any way affect the MessageCache, - which was already effectively treating the namespace as if it had subpages. -* (bug 10837) $wgVariant is a user variant selected in the user's preferences - if the $wgContLang does not have variant, then the $wgLang is used instead. -* Oracle: maintenance/ora/user.sql script for creating DB user on oracle with - appropriate privileges. Creating this user with web-install page requires - oci8.privileged_connect set to On in php.ini. -* Removed UserrightsChangeableGroups hook introduced in 1.14 -* Added $wgCacheDirectory, to replace $wgFileCacheDirectory, - $wgLocalMessageCache, and any other local caches which need a place to put - files. -* $wgFileCacheDirectory is no longer set to anything by default, and so either - needs to be set explicitly, or $wgCacheDirectory needs to be set instead. -* $wgLocalMessageCache has been removed. Instead, set $wgUseLocalMessageCache - to true -* Removed $wgEnableSerializedMessages and $wgCheckSerialized. Similar - functionality is now available via $wgLocalisationCacheConf. -* $wgMessageCache->addMessages() is deprecated.

In that case the URL will get (?|&)wpDestFile= appended to - it as appropriate. -* If $wgLocaltimezone is null, use the server's timezone as the default for - signatures. This was always the behaviour documented in DefaultSettings.php - but has not been the actual behaviour for some time: instead, UTC was used - by default. -* Added $wgExtensionAssetsPath, to decouple assets serving from $wgScriptPath. - If not specified it will default to $wgScriptPath/extensions -* Added $wgCountTotalSearchHits to make search UI display total number of hits - with some search engines. -* Added $wgAdvertisedFeedTypes to decide what feed types (RSS, Atom, both, or - neither) MediaWiki advertises. Default is array( 'atom' ), so RSS is no - longer advertised by default (but it still works). - - -=== New features in 1.16 === - -* Add CSS defintion of the 'wikitable' class to shared.css -* (bug 17163) Added MediaWiki:Talkpageheader which will be displayed when - viewing talk pages -* Superfluous border="0" removed from images -* Added new hook 'MessageCacheReplace' into MessageCache.php.
