+Change notes from older releases. For current info see RELEASE-NOTES-1.29.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.28 ==
+
+=== Changes since 1.28.0-rc1 ===
+* (T148957) Replace wgShowExceptionDetails with wgShowDBErrorBacktrace on db
+ errors.
+* (T148956) Only apply wgDBschema to postgres/mssql.
+* (T145991) Introduce separate log action for deleting pages on move.
+* (T141474) (T110464) Bypass login page if no user input is required.
+
+=== Changes since 1.28.0-rc0 ===
+* (T142210) The changes to move the parser "NewPP limit report" from a HTML
+ comment to a machine-readable JavaScript config option 'wgPageParseReport'
+ have been undone. They caused the human-readable limit report to be shown
+ incompletely or not at all. ParserOutput::setLimitReportData() and
+ getLimitReportData() behave as they did in MediaWiki 1.27 again.
+* (T149510) Value of {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} parser function will not be used for
+ the text of subheadings on a category page when creating it. This wasn't
+ working correctly.
+* (T106793) MediaWiki will no longer try to perform a HTTP redirect to the
+ canonical pretty URL when a non-pretty URL is used. It resulted in redirect
+ loops in some clients and in some server configurations. This undoes a change
+ made in MediaWiki 1.26.
+* (T149759) manifest_version: 2 was removed.
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.28 ===
+* $wgSend404Code now affects status code of action=history if the page is not there.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: $wgHTTPProxy is now *required* for all external requests
+ made by MediaWiki via a proxy. Relying on the http_proxy environment
+ variable is no longer supported.
+* The load.php entry point now enforces the existing policy of not allowing
+ access to session data, which includes the session user and the session
+ user's language. If such access is attempted, an exception will be thrown.
+* The number of internal PBKDF2 iterations used to derive the session secret
+ is configurable via $wgSessionPbkdf2Iterations.
+* Upload dialog's file upload log comment can now be configured separately for
+ local and foreign uploads.
+* $wgForeignUploadTargets now defaults to `[ 'local' ]`, where `'local'`
+ signifies local uploads. A value of `[]` (empty array) now means that
+ no upload targets are allowed, effectively disabling the upload dialog.
+* The deprecated $wgEditEncoding variable has been removed; it was only used
+ for Esperanto language character conversion. You are now recommended to use
+ input methods provided by the UniversalLanguageSelector extension.
+* When $wgPingback is true, MediaWiki will periodically ping
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/beacon with basic information about the local
+ MediaWiki installation. This data includes, for example, the type of system,
+ PHP version, and chosen database backend. This behavior is off by default.
+* When $wgEditSubmitButtonLabelPublish is true, MediaWiki will label the button
+ to store-to-database-and-show-to-others as "Publish page"/"Publish changes";
+ if false, the default, they will be "Save page"/"Save changes".
+* The 'editcontentmodel' permission is now granted to all logged-in users ('user').
+ instead of just administrators ('sysop'). Documentation for this feature is
+ available at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ChangeContentModel>.
+* $wgRevisionCacheExpiry is now set to one week by default instead of being disabled.
+* Magic links are now disabled by default, and can be re-enabled by modifying the value
+ of $wgEnableMagicLinks. Their usage is discouraged, but if they are manually enabled,
+ a tracking category will be added to help identify usage and make it easier to migrate
+ away from. If you depend upon magic link functionality, it is requested that you comment
+ on <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Future_of_magic_links> and
+ explain your use case(s).
+* New config variable $wgCSPFalsePositiveUrls to control what URLs to ignore
+ in upcoming Content-Security-Policy feature's reporting.
+
+=== New features in 1.28 ===
+* User::isBot() method for checking if an account is a bot role account.
+* Added a new 'slideshow' mode for galleries.
+* Added a new hook, 'UserIsBot', to aid in determining if a user is a bot.
+* Added a new hook, 'ApiMakeParserOptions', to allow extensions to better
+ interact with API parsing.
+* Added a new hook, 'UploadVerifyUpload', which can be used to reject a file
+ upload. Unlike 'UploadVerifyFile' it provides information about upload comment
+ and the file description page, but does not run for uploads to stash.
+* (T141604) Extensions can now provide a better error message when their
+ maintenance scripts are run without the extension being installed.
+* (T8948) Numeric sorting in categories is now supported by setting $wgCategoryCollation
+ to 'uca-default-u-kn' or 'uca-<langcode>-u-kn'. If you can't use UCA collations,
+ a 'numeric' collation is also available. If migrating from another
+ collation, you will need to run the updateCollation.php maintenance script.
+* Two new codes have been added to #time parser function: "xit" for days in current
+ month, and "xiz" for days passed in the year, both in Iranian calendar.
+* mw.Api has a new option, useUS, to use U+001F (Unit Separator) when
+ appropriate for sending multi-valued parameters. This defaults to true when
+ the mw.Api instance seems to be for the local wiki.
+* After a client performs an action which alters a database that has replica databases,
+ MediaWiki will wait for the replica databases to synchronize with the master database
+ while it renders the HTML output. However, if the output is a redirect to another wiki
+ on the wiki farm with a different domain, MediaWiki will instead alter the redirect
+ URL to include a ?cpPosTime parameter that triggers the database synchronization when
+ the URL is followed by the client. The same-domain case uses a new cpPosTime cookie.
+* Added new hooks, 'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery', 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery', and
+ 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow', to make it easier for extensions to add 'prop' and
+ 'show' parameters to existing API query modules.
+
+=== External library changes in 1.28 ===
+
+==== Upgraded external libraries ====
+* Updated es5-shim from v4.1.5 to v4.5.8
+* Updated composer/semver from v1.4.1 to v1.4.2
+* Updated wikimedia/php-session-serializer from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4
+
+==== New external libraries ====
+* Added wikimedia/scoped-callback v1.0.0
+* Added wikimedia/wait-condition-loop v1.0.1
+
+=== Bug fixes in 1.28 ===
+* (T146496) action=history pages should return 404 HTTP error code if the page does not exist
+* (T137264) SECURITY: XSS in unclosed internal links
+* (T133147) SECURITY: Escape '<' and ']]>' in inline <style> blocks
+* (T133147) SECURITY: Require login to preview user CSS pages
+* (T132926) SECURITY: Do not allow undeleting a revision deleted file if it is
+ the top file
+* (T129738) SECURITY: Make $wgBlockDisablesLogin also restrict logged in
+ permissions
+* (T129738) SECURITY: Make blocks log users out if $wgBlockDisablesLogin is true
+* (T139670) Move 'UserGetRights' call before application of
+ Session::getAllowedUserRights()
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.28 ===
+* Added 'maxarticlesize' property to action=query&meta=siteinfo which contains
+ the value of $wgMaxArticleSize.
+* Property 'modulemessages' from action=parse&prop=modules was removed
+ (deprecated since 1.26).
+* The following response properties from action=login, deprecated in 1.27, are
+ now removed: lgtoken, cookieprefix, sessionid. Clients should handle cookies
+ to properly manage session state.
+* Submitting the lgtoken and lgpassword parameters in the query string to
+ action=login is now deprecated and outputs a warning. They should be submitted
+ in the POST body instead.
+* Submitting sensitive authentication request parameters to action=clientlogin,
+ action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and action=changeauthenticationdata
+ in the query string is now deprecated and outputs a warning. They should be
+ submitted in the POST body instead.
+* (T141960) Multi-valued parameters may now be separated using U+001F (Unit Separator)
+ instead of the pipe character. This will be useful if some of the multiple
+ values need to contain pipes, e.g. for action=options.
+* The API will now warn if input is not NFC-normalized Unicode or if it
+ contains invalid characters.
+* The 'normalized' list output by action=query and other modules that use
+ ApiPageSet may contain entries where the 'from' value is percent-encoded as
+ the raw value cannot be represented in a valid API response. These are
+ indicated by a 'fromencoded' boolean alongside the existing 'from' parameter.
+* (T28680) action=paraminfo can now return info about all submodules of a
+ module without listing them all explicitly.
+* (T146770) It is now possible to assert that the current user is a specific
+ named user, using the 'assertuser' parameter.
+* (T141963) Added a 'known' property when missing-but-known titles (e.g. from
+ the 'TitleIsAlwaysKnown' hook) are output in various modules.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.28 ===
+* Added a new hook, 'ApiMakeParserOptions', to allow extensions to better
+ interact with ApiParse and ApiExpandTemplates.
+* (T139565) SECURITY: API: Generate head items in the context of the given title
+* (T115333) SECURITY: Check read permission when loading page content in ApiParse
+* ApiBase::getResultData() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiBase::makeHelpArrayToString() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiBase::makeHelpMsgParameters() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiBase::makeHelpMsg() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiFormatBase::formatHTML() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiFormatBase::getNeedsRawData() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiFormatBase::getWantsHelp() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiFormatBase::setBufferResult() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiFormatBase::setHelp() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiFormatBase::setUnescapeAmps() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiMain::makeHelpMsgHeader() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiMain::reallyMakeHelpMsg() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiMain::setHelp() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::beginContinuation() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::cleanUpUTF8() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::convertStatusToArray() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::disableSizeCheck() was removed (deprecated since 1.24)
+* ApiResult::enableSizeCheck() was removed (deprecated since 1.24)
+* ApiResult::endContinuation() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::getData() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::getIsRawMode() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setContent() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setContinueParam() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setElement() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setGeneratorContinueParam() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setIndexedTagName_internal() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setIndexedTagName_recursive() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setMainForContinuation() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setParsedLimit() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setRawMode() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::size() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* Added new hooks, 'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery', 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery', and
+ 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow', to make it easier for extensions to add 'prop' and
+ 'show' parameters to existing API query modules. A query module can enable
+ these hooks by passing an array for $hookData to ApiQueryBase::select() and
+ by calling ApiQueryBase->processRow() before adding a row's data to the
+ result.
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.28 ===
+
+MediaWiki supports over 375 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Phabricator reports.
+
+* (T137411) ban (Balinese), thanks to translators Adi Mayndra, Andru,
+ BASAbali, M. Adiputra, Naval Scene, Nemo bis, NoiX180, and 아라.
+* (T135867) shn (Shan), thanks to translators Khun Sar, Piangpha,
+ Saiddzone Saimawnkham, Saosukham, and Sengwan.
+* Czech (cs) and Slovak (sk) set as reciprocal fallbacks.
+* (T146744) Livvi-Karelian (olo) namespace messages created thanks to translator Ilja.mos.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.28 ===
+* (T128697) Improved handling of large diffs.
+* [BREAKING CHANGE] $wgExtendedLoginCookies has been removed. You can
+ use or update a custom session provider if needed.
+* Deprecated APIEditBeforeSave hook in favor of EditFilterMergedContent.
+* The 'UploadVerification' hook is deprecated. Use 'UploadVerifyFile' instead.
+* SiteConfiguration::isLocalVHost() was removed (deprecated since 1.25).

+* mw.util.tooltipAccessKeyPrefix was removed (deprecated since 1.24).
+* mw.util.tooltipAccessKeyRegexp was removed (deprecated since 1.24).
+* Linker::link() and Linker::linkKnown() were deprecated; please instead use
+ MediaWiki\Linker\LinkRenderer. In addition, the LinkBegin and LinkEnd hooks
+ were replaced by HtmlPageLinkRendererBegin and HtmlPageLinkRendererEnd
+ respectively. See docs/hooks.txt for the specific changes needed for those hooks.
+* Linker::formatSize() was deprecated. Use Language::formatSize() directly.
+* Aliases for Linker methods, deprecated since 1.21, were removed from Skin:
+ * Skin::commentBlock() (use Linker::commentBlock() instead)
+ * Skin::generateRollback() (use Linker::generateRollback() instead)
+ * Skin::link() (use MediaWiki\Linker\LinkRenderer instead)

+ disabled.
+* DifferenceEngine::generateDiffBody() was removed (deprecated since 1.21).
+* UploadBase::stashFileGetKey() and UploadBase::stashSession() were deprecated.
+ Use ...->stashFile()->getFileKey() instead.
+* "Public domain" was removed as a wiki license option from the installer, in
+ favour of CC-0.
+* AuthenticationRequest::$required is now changed from REQUIRED to PRIMARY_REQUIRED
+ on requests needed by primary providers even if all primaries need them.
+ Primary providers are discouraged from returning multiple REQUIRED requests.
+* OOjs UI PHP widgets constructed with the `'infusable' => true` config option
+ will no longer be automatically infused. You should call `OO.ui.infuse()`
+ on them yourself from your JavaScript code.
+* parserTests.php has moved to tests/parser/parserTests.php
+* The command line options specific to parser tests have been removed from
+ phpunit.php: --regex and --keep-uploads. Instead of --regex, use --filter.
+ Instead of --keep-uploads, use the same option to parserTests.php, but you
+ must specify a directory with --upload-dir.
+* The 'jquery.arrowSteps' ResourceLoader module is now deprecated.
+* IP::isConfiguredProxy() and IP::isTrustedProxy() were removed. Callers should
+ migrate to using the same functions on a ProxyLookup instance, obtainable from

+ in inline styles.
+* Database::getSearchEngine() is deprecated, use SearchEngineFactory::getSearchEngineClass
+ instead.
+
+== Compatibility ==
+
+MediaWiki 1.28 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. There is experimental support for
+HHVM 3.6.5 or later.
+
+MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
+support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
+Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
+
+The supported versions are:
+
+* MySQL 5.0.3 or later
+* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
+* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
+* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
+* Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
+
+== Upgrading ==
+
+1.28 has several database changes since 1.27, and will not work without schema
+updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
+table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
+many hours on a large site).
+
+If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
+repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
+due to database schema changes.
+
+If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
+new database fields are filled with data.
+
+If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, you should upgrade to
+1.5 first. The upgrade script maintenance/upgrade1_5.php has been removed
+with MediaWiki 1.21.
+
+Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
+
+See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
+
+For notes on 1.27.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
+
+== Online documentation ==
+
+Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
+MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
+for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):
+
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Documentation
+
+== Mailing list ==
+
+A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:
+
+ https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
+
+A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
+
+ https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
+
+It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
+going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
+
+== IRC help ==
+
+There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net.
