1 == MediaWiki 1.32 ==
2
3 THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
4
5 MediaWiki 1.32 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in
6 production.
7
8 === Configuration changes in 1.32 ===
9 * (T115414) The $wgEnableAPI and $wgEnableWriteAPI settings, deprecated in 1.31,
10 have been removed.
11 * The $wgUseAjax setting, deprecated in 1.31, is now ignored.
12 * The $wgSiteSupportPage setting, unused since 1.5, was removed.
13 * The default quality of JPEG thumbnails generated by GD was reduced from 95 to
14 80. The quality of JPEG thumbnails is now configurable through the new setting
15 $wgJpegQuality (default 80). This aligns the quality to what ImageMagick uses.
16 * $wgExperimentalHtmlIds, deprecated since 1.30, has been removed. The
17 'html5-legacy' value for $wgFragmentMode is no longer accepted.
18 * The experimental Html5Internal and Html5Depurate tidy drivers were removed.
19 RemexHtml, which is the default, should be used instead.
20 * (T135963) You can now define a Content Security Policy for your wiki. This
21 adds a defense-in-depth feature to stop an attacker who has found a bug in
22 the parser allowing them to insert malicious attributes. Disabled by default,
23 you can configure this via $wgCSPHeader and $wgCSPReportOnlyHeader.
24
25 === New features in 1.32 ===
26 * (T112474) Generalized the ResourceLoader mechanism for overriding modules
27 using a particular page during edit previews.
28 * Added 'ApiParseMakeOutputPage' hook.
29 * (T174313) Added checkbox on Special:ListUsers to display only users in temporary
30 user groups.

44 === Bug fixes in 1.32 ===
45 * …
46
47 === Action API changes in 1.32 ===
48 * Added templated parameters.
49 * A module can define a templated parameter like "{fruit}-quantity", where
50 the actual parameters recognized correspond to the values of a multi-valued
51 parameter. Then clients can make requests like
52 "fruits=apples|bananas&apples-quantity=1&bananas-quantity=5".
53 * action=paraminfo will return templated parameter definitions separately
54 from normal parameters. All parameter definitions now include an "index"
55 key to allow clients to maintain parameter ordering when merging normal and
56 templated parameters.
57
58 === Action API internal changes in 1.32 ===
59 * Added 'ApiParseMakeOutputPage' hook.
60 * Parameter names may no longer contain '{' or '}', as these are now used for
61 templated parameters.
62
63 === Languages updated in 1.32 ===
64 MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated regularly.
65 Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as changes to languages
66 because of Phabricator reports.
67
68 * (T193566) Added language support for Ambonese Malay (abs).
69 * (T194047) Added language support for Shawiya, Latin script (shy-latn).
70

101
102 === Deprecations in 1.32 ===
103 * Use of a StartProfiler.php file is deprecated in favour of placing
104 configuration in LocalSettings.php.

126 U+2067, U+2068, U+2069) from the title.
127 * …

129 == Compatibility ==
130 MediaWiki 1.32 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. Although HHVM 3.18.5 or later is
131 supported, it is generally advised to use PHP 5.5.9 or later for long term
132 support.
133
134 MySQL/MariaDB is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used,
135 but support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
136 Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
137
138 The supported versions are:
139
140 * MySQL 5.5.8 or later
141 * PostgreSQL 9.2 or later
142 * SQLite 3.3.7 or later
143 * Oracle 9.0.1 or later
144 * Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
145
146 == Upgrading ==
147 1.32 has several database changes since 1.31, and will not work without schema
148 updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
149 table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
150 many hours on a large site).
151
152 Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
153
154 See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
155 important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
