+
+== MediaWiki 1.24 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.24 ===
+* MediaWiki will no longer run if register_globals is enabled. It has been
+ deprecated for 5 years now, and was removed in PHP 5.4. For more information
+ about why, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/register_globals>.
+* MediaWiki now requires PHP's iconv extension. openSUSE users may need to
+ install the php5-iconv package. Users of other systems may need to add
+ extension=iconv.so to php.ini or recompile PHP without --without-iconv.
+* MediaWiki will no longer function if magic quotes are enabled. It has
+ been deprecated for 5 years now, and was removed in PHP 5.4.
+* The server's canonical hostname is available as $wgServerName, which is
+ exposed in both mw.config and ApiQuerySiteInfo.
+* Introduced $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey as a backwards-compatibility switch,
+ for using the old schema of the page_props table, in case the respective
+ schema update was not applied.
+* $wgSearchEverythingOnlyLoggedIn was removed as the 'searcheverything'
+ user option was removed. Use $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault instead or
+ if you used to have $wgDefaultUserOptions['searcheverything'] = 1.
+* $wgMasterWaitTimeout has been deprecated.
+* $wgDBClusterTimeout has been removed.
+* $wgProxyKey has been removed. It is no longer used by MediaWiki core.
+ Ensure $wgSecretKey is set in LocalSettings.php.
+* $wgExtraInterlanguageLinkPrefixes is a new configuration variable that
+ contains an array of interwiki prefixes that should be treated as language
+ prefixes (i.e. turned into interlanguage links when $wgInterwikiMagic is set
+ to true).
+* $wgParserTestRemote has been removed.
+* $wgCountTotalSearchHits has been removed. If you're concerned about efficiency
+ of search, you should use something like CirrusSearch instead of built in
+ search.
+* Users in the 'sysop' group have access to Special:MergeHistory by default.
+* $wgFileStore was removed after having been deprecated in 1.17. Alternative
+ configurations are $wgDeletedDirectory and $wgHashedUploadDirectory.
+* The deprecated $wgUseCommaCount variable has been removed.
+* $wgEnableSorbs and $wgSorbsUrl have been removed.
+* The UserCryptPassword and UserComparePassword hooks are no longer called.
+ Any extensions using them must be updated to use the Password Hashing API.
+* $wgCompiledFiles has been removed.
+* $wgSortSpecialPages was removed, the listing on Special:SpecialPages is
+ now always sorted.
+* $wgSpecialPages may now use callback functions as an alternative to plain class names.
+ This allows more control over constructor parameters.
+* $wgHTCPMulticastAddress, $wgHTCPMulticastRouting and $wgHTCPPort were removed.
+* $wgRC2UDPAddress, $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix, $wgRC2UDPOmitBots, $wgRC2UDPPort
+ and $wgRC2UDPPrefix have been removed.
+* The default password type for MediaWiki has been changed from MD5 to PBKDF2.
+ Password hashes will automatically be updated as users log in. If necessary, the
+ old MD5 hashing can be restored by changing $wgPasswordDefault to 'B'. In addition,
+ there is a maintenance script wrapOldPassword.php that can wrap all passwords in
+ PBKDF2 (or the hashing algorithm of your choice) if you don't want to wait for your
+ users to log in.
+* $wgImportSources can now either be a regular array, or an associative map
+ specifying subprojects on the interwiki map of the target wiki, or a mix of
+ the two. Existing configurations will still work.
+* Users must be able to edit through a page's protection to be able to delete it.
+* The default thumb size ($wgDefaultUserOptions['thumbsize']) is now 300px, up from
+ 180px. If you have altered the number of entries in $wgThumbLimits for your wiki, you
+ may need to adjust your default user settings to compensate for the index change.
+* $wgDeferredUpdateList is now deprecated, you should use DeferredUpdates::addUpdate()
+ instead.
+* $wgCanonicalLanguageLinks has been removed. Per Google recommendations, we
+ will not send a rel=canonical pointing to a variant-neutral page, however
+ we will send rel=alternate.
+* $wgResourceLoaderLESSFunctions has been deprecated and will be removed in the future.
+* $wgGoToEdit has been removed. Use the SpecialSearchNogomatch hook for similar
+ functionality.
+
+=== New features in 1.24 ===
+* Added new hook WatchlistEditorBeforeFormRender, allowing subscribers to
+ manipulate the list of pages and/or preload lots of data at once.
+* Added new argument &$link in hook WatchlistEditorBuildRemoveLine, allowing the
+ link to the title to be changed.
+* Added a new hook, "WhatLinksHereProps", to allow extensions to annotate
+ WhatLinksHere entries.
+* Added a new hook, "ContentGetParserOutput", to customize parser output for
+ a given content object.
+* Deprecated the hook "ShowRawCssJs", use "ContentGetParserOutput" instead.
+* HTMLForm's HTMLTextField now supports the 'url' type.
+* HTMLForm fields may now be dynamically hidden based on the values of other
+ fields in the form.
+* HTMLForm now supports multiple copies of an input field or set of input
+ fields, e.g. the form may request "one or more usernames" without having to
+ have the user enter delimited list of names into a text field.
+* Added a new hook, "SidebarBeforeOutput", to allow to edit the structure of
+ the sidebar just before its display.
+* (bug 49156) Added the mediawiki.cookie ResourceLoader module, which wraps
+ jquery.cookie so that getting/setting a cookie is syntactically and
+ functionally similar to using the WebRequest::getCookie() and
+ WebResponse::setcookie() methods.
+* (bug 44740) jQuery upgraded from 1.8.3 to 1.11.1. A new configuration option,
+ $wgIncludejQueryMigrate, also loads the jQuery Migrate hack to let extensions
+ and gadgets use the long-deprecated functions that were removed in jQuery 1.9.
+ This option is turned off by default, and will be removed in MediaWiki 1.25.
+* (bug 47076) jQuery UI upgraded from 1.8.24 to 1.9.2.
+* Changes to content typography (fonts, etc.). See
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
+* WikitextContent will now render redirects with the expected "redirect"
+ header, rather than as an ordered list. Code calling Article::viewRedirect
+ can probably be changed to no longer special-case redirects.
+* Header font set to a serif font stack. See
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
+* (bug 65567) Added a new hook, "BeforeHttpsRedirect", to allow cancellation of
+ the HTTP to HTTPS redirect due to forceHTTPS cookie, userRequires, etc. This
+ is only for page views, since this hook doesn't affect UserLogin, OAuth,
+ CentralAuth, etc. ATTENTION: This hook is likely to be removed soon due to
+ overall design of the system.
+* (bug 17367) It is now possible to add pages to your watchlist from
+ Special:UnwatchedPages without reloading the special page.
+* New methods setVolatile and isVolatile are added to PPFrame, so that
+ extensions such as Cite.php can mark that their output is volatile and
+ shouldn't be cached.
+* (bug 52817) Advanced search options are now saved on the search page itself,
+ rather than in a dedicated pane in the preferences panel.
+* (bug 44591) The dropdown actions menu (little triangle next to page tabs) in
+ the Vector skin has gained a label that should make it more discoverable.
+* MWCryptHKDF added for fast, cryptographically secure random number generation
+ that won't deplete openssl's entropy pool.
+* ResourceLoader: File modules can now provide a skip function that uses an
+ inline feature test to bypass loading of the module.
+* (bug 20210) Special pages may now provide autocompletion of their subpage
+ names in search suggestions. Right now the only useful implementation is in
+ Special:Log, but more are to come.
+* Special:MostLinkedTemplates is no longer limited to transclusions from the
+ Template namespace.
+* Skins can now use 'remoteSkinPath' when defining ResourceLoader modules.
+ This works the same as 'remoteExtPath' but is relative to the skins/ folder
+ instead of the extensions/ folder.
+* Added the json2.js polyfill for the ES5 JSON.stringify and JSON.parse methods.
+ Exposed as module "json" with a skip function to optimise loading.
+* Extensions and skins may now use 'namemsg' in $wgExtensionCredits in addition
+ to 'name', to allow for the name to be localizable. 'name' should still be
+ specified for backwards-compatibility and to define the path Special:Version
+ uses to find extension license information.
+* Browser tests are now included to verify basic wiki functionality in developer
+ environments. For details on running tests, see tests/browser/README.mediawiki.
+* Upgrade jStorage to v0.4.10.
+* {{!}} is now a magic word that produces the | character. This removes the need
+ for Template:! for purposes such as passing pipes inside of parameters.
+* (bug 20790) The block log snippet on Special:Contributions and while
+ editing user and user talk pages now works for IP range blocks.
+* (bug 9360) Added ability to change the page language for MediaWiki pages using
+ Special:PageLanguage. All pages are set to wiki language by default.
+ The feature needs to be enabled with $wgPageLanguageUseDB=true and
+ permission needs to be set for 'pagelang'.
+* Upgrade Moment.js to v2.8.3.
+* (bug 67042) Added support for the HTML5 <rtc> tag for East Asian typography.
+* Upgrade Sinon.JS to 1.10.3.
+* Added the es5-shim polyfill for older or non-compliant javascript engines.
+* Upgrade jQuery Cookie to v1.3.1.
+* (bug 20476) Add a "viewsuppressed" user right to be able to view
+ suppressed content but not suppress it ("suppressrevision" right).
+* (bug 66440) The MediaWiki web installer will now allow you to choose the skins
+ to enable (from the ones included in download tarball) and decide which one
+ should be the default.
+* (bug 68085, 68802) Links like [[localInterwikiPrefix:languageCode:pageTitle]],
+ where localInterwikiPrefix is a member of the $wgLocalInterwikis array, will
+ no longer be displayed in the sidebar when $wgInterwikiMagic is true. In a
+ similar way, links like [[localInterwikiPrefix:File:Image.png]] and
+ [[localInterwikiPrefix:Category:Hello]] will now render as regular links, and
+ will not include the file or add the page to the category.
+* New special page, MyLanguage, to redirect users to subpages with localised
+ versions of a page. (Integrated from Extension:Translate)
+* MediaWiki now supports multiple password types, including bcrypt and PBKDF2.
+ The default type can be changed with $wgPasswordDefault and the type
+ configurations can be changed with $wgPasswordConfig.
+* Skins can now define custom styles for default ResourceLoader modules using
+ the $wgResourceModuleSkinStyles global. See the Vector skin for examples.
+* (bug 4488) There is now a preference to watch pages where the user has
+ rollbacked an edit by default.
+* (bug 15484) Users will now be redirected to the login page when they need to
+ log in, rather than being shown a page asking them to log in and having to click
+ another link to actually get to the login page.
+* A JsonContent and JsonContentHandler were added for extensions to extend.
+* (bug 35045) Redirects to sections will now update the URL in browser's address
+ bar using the HTML5 History API. When [[Dog]] redirects to [[Animals#Dog]],
+ the user will now see "Animals#Dog" in their browser instead of "Dog#Dog".
+* API token handling has been rewritten. Any API module using tokens will need
+ to be updated. See the entry below under "Action API internal changes".
+* Added HTMLAutoCompleteSelectField.
+* Added a new hook, "SkinPreloadExistence", to allow extensions to add titles to
+ link existence cache before the page is rendered.
+* Config::set() was moved to its own interface, MutableConfig. GlobalVarConfig::set()
+ is now deprecated, does not implement MutableConfig.
+* A MutableConfig named HashConfig was added, that stores an array of configuration
+ settings.
+* (bug 69418) A MultiConfig implementation was added that supports fallback
+ to multiple Config instances.
+* Update CSSJanus to v1.1.0.
+* Added FormatJson::parse() returning status with result or localized error message
+
+=== Bug fixes in 1.24 ===
+* (bug 50572) MediaWiki:Blockip should support gender
+* (bug 49116) Footer copyright notice is now always displayed in user language
+ rather than content language (same as copyright notice for editing interface).
+* (bug 62258) A bug was fixed in File::getUnscaledThumb when a height
+ restriction was present in the parameters. Images with both the "frame"
+ option and a size specification set will now always ignore the provided
+ size and display an unscaled image, as the documentation has always
+ claimed it would.
+* (bug 39035) Improved Vector skin performance by removing collapsibleNav,
+ which used to collapse some sidebar elements by default.
+ This removes -list id suffixes like p-lang-list: instead of using things like
+ #p-lang-list, you can do #p-lang .body ul.
+* (bug 890) Links in Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist no longer
+ follow redirects to their target pages.
+* Parser now dies early if called recursively, instead of producing subtle bugs.
+* (bug 14323) Redirect pages, when viewed with redirect=no, no longer hide the
+ remaining page content.
+* (bug 52587) Maintenance script deleteBatch.php no longer follows redirects
+ in the file namespace and delete the file on the target page. It will still
+ however delete the redirect page.
+* (bug 22683) {{msgnw:}} and other uses of PPFrame::RECOVER_ORIG will correctly
+ recover the original code of extension tags.
+* (bug 65757) MSSQL: Update script drops unnamed constraints to be prepared
+ for future updates. Because it's doing so heuristically, it may fail or drop
+ wrong constraints.
+* (bug 67870) wfShellExec() cuts off stdout at multiples of 8192 bytes.
+* $wgRunJobsAsync now works with private wikis (e.g. read requires login).
+* (bugs 57238, 65206) Blank pages can now be directly created.
+* (bug 69789) Title::getContentModel() now loads from the database when
+ necessary instead of incorrectly returning the default content model.
+* (bug 69249) wfBaseConvert() now works around PHP Bug #50175 when using GMP.
+* (bug 57909) URLs in the externallinks table will no longer have certain
+ characters decoded in the query string.
+* (bug 67368) LESS mixins like .background-image() correctly flip image
+ references for RTL stylesheets now.
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.24 ===
+* action=parse API now supports prop=modules, which provides the list of
+ ResourceLoader modules that should be used to enhance the parsed content.
+* action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=interwikimap returns a new "protorel"
+ field which is true if protocol-relative urls can be used to access
+ a particular interwiki map entry.
+* list=logevents now provides logpage, which is the page ID from the
+ logging table, if ids are requested and the user has the permissions.
+* action=edit now requires that appendtext, prependtext, or section=new be used
+ when using the 'redirect' parameter, to prevent clients accidentally
+ overwriting the target page with the content of the redirect.
+* list=logevents will now return an error if both letitle and leprefix are
+ specified.
+* list=logevents has a new parameter, lenamespace, to allow filtering by
+ namespace.
+* action=expandtemplates has a new parameter, prop, and a new output format.
+ The old format is still used if prop isn't provided, but this is deprecated.
+* meta=userinfo can now return the count of unread pages on the watchlist.
+* list=watchlist can now filter by unread status.
+* The deprecated action=parse&prop=languageshtml has been removed.
+* (bug 48071) action=setnotificationtimestamp no longer throws PHP or database
+ errors when no pages are given.
+* (bug 60734) Actions that use ApiPageSet (e.g. purge, watch,
+ setnotificationtimestamp) will now include continuation information when
+ using a generator.
+* Removed 'props' and 'errors' from action=paraminfo, as they have extremely
+ limited use and are generally inaccurate, unmaintained, and impossible to
+ properly maintain.
+* Formats dbg, dump, txt, wddx, and yaml are now deprecated.
+* action=paraminfo now indicates when a parameter is specifying a submodule.
+* The iwurl parameter to prop=iwlinks is deprecated in favor of iwprop=url, for
+ parallelism with prop=langlinks.
+* All tokens should be fetched from action=query&meta=tokens; all other methods
+ of fetching tokens are deprecated. The value needed for meta=tokens's 'type'
+ parameter for each module is documented in the action=help output and is
+ returned from action=paraminfo.
+* New action ClearHasMsg that can be used to clear HasMsg flag.
+* The cmstartsortkey and cmendsortkey parameters to list=categorymembers are
+ deprecated in favor of cmstarthexsortkey and cmendhexsortkey.
+* (bug 63326) Add blockedtimestamp field to output of blockinfo property for
+ the list=allusers and list=users modules.
+* prop=imageinfo no longer requires iiurlwidth to be set when using iiurlparam.
+* Added prop=linkshere, prop=fileusage, and prop=transcludedin, which are
+ roughly equivalent to list=backlinks, list=imageusage, and list=embeddedin
+ but can work on a list of titles (including titles from a generator).
+* prop=redirects can now filter returned redirects by namespace.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.24 ===
+* Methods for handling continuation are added to ApiResult, so actions other
+ than query that use generators can easily support continuation.
+* $wgAPIModules (and the related $wgAPIFormatModules, $wgAPIMetaModules,
+ $wgAPIPropModules, and $wgAPIListModules settings) now allow API modules
+ to be specified using a "module spec" array instead of a plain class name.
+ A "module spec" is an associative array containing at least the 'class' key
+ for the module's class, and optionally a 'factory' key for the factory function
+ to use for the module. This is intended for extensions that want control over
+ the instantiation of their API modules, to allow for proper dependency
+ injection.
+* A new param type 'submodule' is available. Parameters of this type will take
+ the list of valid values from the module's ApiModuleManager for the group
+ corresponding to the parameter name.
+* The 'APIGetPossibleErrors' and 'APIGetResultProperties' hooks are no longer used.
+* API token handling has been rewritten. Any API module using tokens will need
+ to be updated:
+ * ApiBase::needsToken now returns a token type instead of boolean true when a
+ token is needed. Returning true will throw an exception. See documentation
+ of that method for details.
+ * Information for the 'token' parameter is automatically set by ApiBase
+ getFinalParams and getFinalParamDescription.
+ * ApiBase::getTokenSalt has been removed.
+ * The hooks APIQueryInfoTokens, APIQueryRevisionsTokens,
+ APIQueryRecentChangesTokens, APIQueryUsersTokens, and
+ ApiTokensGetTokenTypes are deprecated, but are still called to support
+ backwards-compatible token access.
+* ApiBase::validateLimit and ApiBase::validateTimestamp are now protected.
+* ApiQueryRedirects was removed; prop=redirects is now implemented by
+ ApiQueryBacklinksProp along with the newly-added prop modules.
+* The following methods have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
+ release:
+ * ApiBase::getResultProperties
+ * ApiBase::getFinalResultProperties
+ * ApiBase::addTokenProperties
+ * ApiBase::getRequireOnlyOneParameterErrorMessages
+ * ApiBase::getRequireMaxOneParameterErrorMessages
+ * ApiBase::getRequireAtLeastOneParameterErrorMessages
+ * ApiBase::getTitleOrPageIdErrorMessage
+ * ApiBase::getPossibleErrors
+ * ApiBase::getFinalPossibleErrors
+ * ApiBase::parseErrors
+ * ApiQuery::setGeneratorContinue
+ * ApiQueryBase::checkRowCount
+ * ApiQueryBase::titleToKey
+ * ApiQueryBase::keyToTitle
+ * ApiQueryBase::keyPartToTitle
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getTokenFunctions
+ * ApiQueryInfo::resetTokenCache
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getEditToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getDeleteToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getProtectToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getMoveToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getBlockToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getUnblockToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getEmailToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getImportToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getWatchToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getOptionsToken
+ * ApiQueryRecentChanges::getTokenFunctions
+ * ApiQueryRecentChanges::getPatrolToken
+ * ApiQueryRevisions::getTokenFunctions
+ * ApiQueryRevisions::getRollbackToken
+ * ApiQueryUsers::getTokenFunctions
+ * ApiQueryUsers::getUserrightsToken
+* The following classes have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
+ release:
+ * ApiFormatDbg
+ * ApiFormatDump
+ * ApiFormatTxt
+ * ApiFormatWddx
+ * ApiFormatYaml
+ * ApiTokens
+* The following class constants have been deprecated and may be removed in a
+ future release:
+ * ApiBase::PROP_ROOT
+ * ApiBase::PROP_LIST
+ * ApiBase::PROP_TYPE
+ * ApiBase::PROP_NULLABLE
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.24 ===
+
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.24 ===
+* The deprecated jquery.delayedBind ResourceLoader module was removed.
+* The deprecated function mw.util.toggleToc was removed.
+* The Special:Search hooks SpecialSearchGo and SpecialSearchResultsAppend
+ were removed as they were unused.
+* (bug 65477) User::pingLimiter() now has an additional profile point varying
+ by action being used.
+* mediawiki.util.$content no longer supports old versions of the Vector,
+ Monobook, Modern and CologneBlue skins that don't yet implement the "mw-body"
+ and/or "mw-body-primary" class name in their html.
+* Added pp_sortkey column to page_props table, so pages can be efficiently
+ queried and sorted by property value (bug 58032).
+ See $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey if you want to postpone the schema change.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: All four built-in MediaWiki skins (Vector, MonoBook, Modern
+ and Cologne Blue) were moved out of MediaWiki core to their own respective
+ repositories. They will be installed with the release tarball, but you must
+ install them separately if installing MediaWiki from source code. A warning
+ message displayed until you do it should guide you through the process. See
+ also <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_configuration>.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: Skins built for MediaWiki 1.15 and earlier that do not use
+ the "headelement" template key are no longer supported. Setting
+ $useHeadElement = false; is no longer supported and will not cause old keys
+ like "headlinks", "skinnameclass", etc. to be defined.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: The files commonElements.css, commonContent.css and
+ commonInterface.css (in skins/common/) have been removed. Skins may no longer
+ rely on their presence and include them in their style modules. ResourceLoader
+ modules introduced in MediaWiki 1.23 should be loaded instead:
+ - skins/common/commonElements.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.elements' module
+ - skins/common/commonContent.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.content' module
+ - skins/common/commonInterface.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.interface' module
+* The deprecated 'SpecialVersionExtensionTypes' hook was removed.
+* (bug 63891) Add 'X-Robots-Tag: noindex' header in action=render pages.
+* SpecialPage no longer supports the syntax for invoking wfSpecial*() functions.
+ Special pages should subclass SpecialPage and implement the execute() method.
+* (bug 63755) The deprecated constants RC_MOVE and RC_MOVE_OVER_REDIRECT were
+ removed.
+* Special:MostLinkedTemplates has been renamed to Special:MostTranscludedPages.
+* The skin autodiscovery mechanism has been deprecated and will be removed in
+ MediaWiki 1.25. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery
+ for migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.
+* ResourceLoaderFileModule#getAllStyleFiles now returns all style files and all
+ skin style files used by the module.
+* Removed getLang() from IContextSource and subclasses. (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed setLang() from subclasses of IContextSource. (deprecated since 1.19)
