+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.2 ==
+
+This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.29 branch.
+
+=== Changes since 1.29.1 ===
+* (T166757) Avoid scoped lock errors in Category::refreshCounts() due to nesting.
+* (T175439) Unbreak Postgres Updater when setting defaults for a column.

+* Fixed case of SpecialRecentChanges class usage.
+* (T174255) Declare uploadCount property in importDump.php.
+* (T163646) Pass a string not an int to mysql_real_escape_string().
+* (T180143) Bump justinrainbow/json-schema development dependency to ~5.2.
+* Updated dev dependancy phpunit/phpunit from v4.8.35 to v4.8.36.
+* (T178451) SECURITY: Potential XSS when $wgShowExceptionDetails = false and browser
+ sends non-standard url escaping.
+* (T165846) SECURITY: BotPassword login attempts weren't throttled.
+* (T128209) SECURITY: Reflected File Download from api.php.
+* (T134100) SECURITY: Do not reveal if user exists during login failure.
+* (T176247) SECURITY: Ensure Message::rawParams can't lead to XSS.
+* (T125163) SECURITY: Make anchor for headlines escape > and <.
+* (T180237) SECURITY: Protect vendor folder with .htaccess.
+* (T180231) SECURITY: Remove PHPUnit file with known RCE if exists in update.php.
+* (T124404) SECURITY: XSS in langconverter when regex hits pcre.backtrack_limit.
+* (T119158) SECURITY: Handle -{}- syntax in attributes safely.
+* (T180488) (T125177) "api.log contains passwords in plaintext" wasn't correctly fixed in all
+ branches in the previous security release.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.1 ==
+
+This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.29 branch.
+
+The SpamBlacklist and PdfHandler extensions were missing from the generated
+packages.
+
+=== Changes since 1.29.1 ===
+* (T164999) Define mw.Upload.Dialog.static.name in mediawiki.Upload.Dialog.js.
+* (T172061) Fix fatal when passing a category to refreshLinks.php.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.0 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.29 ===
+* Default cookie expiration time has been reduced to 30 days. Login cookie
+ expiration time is kept at 180 days.
+* A new configuration variable has been added: $wgCookieSetOnAutoblock. This
+ determines whether to set a cookie when a user is autoblocked. Doing so means
+ that a blocked user, even after logging out and moving to a new IP address,
+ will still be blocked.
+* The resetpassword right and associated password reset capture feature has
+ been removed.
+* The $error parameter to the EmailUser hook should be set to a Status object
+ or boolean false. This should be compatible with at least MediaWiki 1.23 if
+ not earlier. Returning a raw HTML string is now deprecated.
+* The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
+ ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
+ code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
+* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
+ result in a PHP fatal error.
+* $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo is now true by default to work around restrictive DMARC
+ policies.
+* Subpages are now enabled by default in the Template namespace. Set
+ $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_TEMPLATE] to false to keep the old behavior.
+* $wgRunJobsAsync is now false by default (T142751). This change only affects
+ wikis with $wgJobRunRate > 0.
+* (T158474) "Unknown user" has been added to $wgReservedUsernames.
+* (T156983) $wgRateLimitsExcludedIPs now accepts CIDR ranges as well as single IPs.
+* $wgDummyLanguageCodes is deprecated. Additional language code mappings may be
+ added to $wgExtraLanguageCodes instead.
+* (T161453) LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory in it's
+ fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
+* The user right 'editusercssjs' (deprecated in 1.16) was removed. Use
+ 'editusercss' and 'edituserjs' in $wgGroupPermissions and elsewhere instead.
+
+=== New features in 1.29 ===
+* (T5233) A cookie can now be set when a user is autoblocked, to track that user
+ if they move to a new IP address. This is disabled by default.
+* Added ILocalizedException interface to standardize the use of localized
+ exceptions, largely so the API can handle them more sensibly.
+* Blocks created automatically by MediaWiki, such as for configured proxies or
+ dnsbls, are now indicated as such and use a new i18n message when displayed.
+* Added new $wgHTTPImportTimeout setting. Sets timeout for
+ downloading the XML dump during a transwiki import in seconds.
+* Parser limit report is now available in machine-readable format to JavaScript
+ via mw.config.get('wgPageParseReport').
+* Added $wgSoftBlockRanges, to allow for automatically blocking anonymous edits
+ from certain IP ranges (e.g. private IPs).
+* (T59603) Added new magic word {{PAGELANGUAGE}} which returns the language code
+ of the page being parsed.
+* HTML5 form validation attributes will no longer be suppressed. Originally
+ browsers had poor support for them, but modern browsers handle them fine.
+ This might affect some forms that used them and only worked because the
+ attributes were not actually being set.
+* Expiry times can now be specified when users are added to user groups.
+* Completely new user interface for the RecentChanges page, which
+ structures filters into user-friendly groups. This has corresponding
+ changes to how filters are registered by core and extensions.
+* The edit form now uses pretty OOjs UI buttons, checkboxes and summary input.
+ Because this change can cause problems for extensions and on-wiki
+ scripts depending on the exact HTML, the old version is still available
+ and can be used by setting $wgOOUIEditPage = false; in LocalSettings.php.
+ This will be removed later and OOjs UI will become the only option.
+ To make testing easier, users can also force either mode by adding
+ &ooui=true or &ooui=false to the action=edit URL.
+
+=== External library changes in 1.29 ===
+
+==== Upgraded external libraries ====
+* Updated QUnit from v1.22.0 to v1.23.1.

+ to the page content language, not wiki content language.
+* (T27187) Search suggestions based on jquery.suggestions will now correctly only
+ highlight prefix matches in the results.
+* (T157035) "new mw.Uri()" was ignoring options when using default URI.
+* Special:Allpages can no longer be filtered by redirect in miser mode.
+* (T160519) CACHE_ANYTHING will not be CACHE_ACCEL if no accelerator is installed.
+* (T109140) (T122209) SECURITY: Special:UserLogin and Special:Search allow redirect
+ to interwiki links.
+* (T144845) SECURITY: XSS in SearchHighlighter::highlightText() when
+ $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting is true.
+* (T125177) SECURITY: API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep
+ their values out of the logs.
+* (T150044) SECURITY: "Mark all pages visited" on the watchlist now requires a CSRF
+ token.
+* (T156184) SECURITY: Escape content model/format url parameter in message.
+* (T151735) SECURITY: SVG filter evasion using default attribute values in DTD
+ declaration.
+* (T161453) SECURITY: LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory
+ in it's fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
+* (T48143) SECURITY: Spam blacklist ineffective on encoded URLs inside file inclusion
+ syntax's link parameter.
+* (T108138) SECURITY: Sysops can undelete pages, although the page is protected against
+ it.
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.29 ===
+* Submitting sensitive authentication request parameters to action=login,
+ action=clientlogin, action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and
+ action=changeauthenticationdata in the query string is now an error. They
+ should be submitted in the POST body instead.
+* The capture option for action=resetpassword has been removed
+* action=clearhasmsg now requires a POST.
+* (T47843) API errors and warnings may be requested in non-English languages
+ using the new 'errorformat', 'errorlang', and 'errorsuselocal' parameters.
+* API error codes may have changed. Most notably, errors from modules using
+ parameter prefixes (e.g. all query submodules) will no longer be prefixed.
+* ApiPageSet-using modules will report the 'invalidreason' using the specified
+ 'errorformat'.
+* action=emailuser may return a "Warnings" status, and now returns 'warnings' and
+ 'errors' subelements (as applicable) instead of 'message'.
+* action=imagerotate returns an 'errors' subelement rather than 'errormessage'.
+* action=move now reports errors when moving the talk page as an array under
+ key 'talkmove-errors', rather than using 'talkmove-error-code' and
+ 'talkmove-error-info'. The format for subpage move errors has also changed.
+* action=revisiondelete no longer includes a "rendered" property on warnings
+ and errors for each item. Use errorformat=wikitext if you're wanting parsed
+ output.
+* action=rollback no longer returns a "messageHtml" property. Use
+ errorformat=html if you're wanting HTML formatting of error messages.
+* action=upload now reports optional stash failures as an array under key
+ 'stasherrors' rather than a 'stashfailed' text string.
+* action=watch reports 'errors' and 'warnings' instead of a single 'error', and
+ no longer returns a 'message' on success.
+* Added action=validatepassword to validate passwords for the account creation
+ and password change forms.
+* action=purge now requires a POST.
+* There is a new `languagevariants` siprop for action=query&meta=siteinfo,
+ which returns a list of languages with active LanguageConverter instances.
+* action=query&query=allpages will no longer filter redirects using a database
+ query in miser mode. This may result in less results being returned than were
+ requested.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.29 ===
+* New methods were added to ApiBase to handle errors and warnings using i18n
+ keys. Methods for using hard-coded English messages were deprecated:
+ * ApiBase::dieUsage() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsg() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsgOrDebug() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::getErrorFromStatus() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::parseMsg() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::setWarning() was deprecated
+* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
+ result in a PHP fatal error.
+* The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
+ ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
+ code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
+* UsageException is deprecated in favor of ApiUsageException. For the time
+ being ApiUsageException is a subclass of UsageException to allow things that
+ catch only UsageException to still function properly.
+* If, for some strange reason, code was using an ApiErrorFormatter instead of
+ ApiErrorFormatter_BackCompat, note that the result format has changed and
+ various methods now take a module path rather than a module name.
+* ApiMessageTrait::getApiCode() now strips 'apierror-' and 'apiwarn-' prefixes
+ from the message key, and maps some message keys for backwards compatibility.
+* API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep their values out of
+ the logs.
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.29 ===
+
+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 Phabricator reports.
+
+* Based as always on linguistic studies on intelligibility and language
+ knowledge by geography, language fallbacks have been expanded. When a
+ translation is missing in the user's preferred interface language, the
+ corresponding translation for the fallback language will be used instead.
+ English will only be used as last resort when there are no translations.
+ Some configurations (such as date formats and gender namespaces) have also
+ been updated when using the fallback language's configuration was inadequate.
+ The new or reinstated language fallbacks are (after cs ↔ sk in 1.28):
+ ca ↔ oc; hsb ↔ dsb; io → eo; mdf → ru; pnt → el; roa-tara → it; rup → ro;
+ sh → bs, sr-el, hr.
+* (T137376) New language support: Atikamekw (atj).
+* (T163600) New language support: Dinka (din).
+* (T155957) Talk Namespaces for Javanese language (jv) have been updated.
+
+==== No fallback for Ukrainian ====
+* (T39314) The fallback from Ukrainian to Russian was removed. The Ukrainian
+ language will now use the default fallback language: English. When a translation
+ to Ukrainian is not available, an English string will be shown.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.29 ===
+* Database::getSearchEngine() (deprecated in 1.28) was removed. Use
+ SearchEngineFactory::getSearchEngineClass() instead.
+* $wgSessionsInMemcached (deprecated in 1.20) was removed. No replacement is
+ required as all sessions are stored in Object Cache now.

+ Status return type is deprecated.

+ \MediaWiki\Session\SessionManager::singleton()->getPersistedSessionId() instead.
+* Class ImageGallery (deprecated in 1.22) was removed.
+ Use ImageGalleryBase::factory instead.
+* Title::moveNoAuth() (deprecated in 1.25) was removed. Use MovePage class instead.
+* Hook UnknownAction (deprecated in 1.19) was actually deprecated (it will now
+ emit warnings). Create a subclass of Action and add it to $wgActions instead.
+* WikiRevision::getText() (deprecated since 1.21) is no longer marked deprecated.
+* Linker::getInterwikiLinkAttributes() (deprecated since 1.25) was removed.
+* Linker::getInternalLinkAttributes() (deprecated since 1.25) was removed.

+* Linker::getLinkAttributesInternal() (deprecated since 1.25) was removed.
+* RedisConnectionPool::handleException (deprecated since 1.23) was removed.
+* The static properties mw.Api.errors and mw.Api.warnings, containing incomplete
+ and outdated lists of errors/warnings returned by the API, are now deprecated.
+* wiki.phtml entry point was removed. Refer to index.php instead. If you want "wiki.phtml"
+ URLs to continue to work, set up redirects. In Apache, this can be done by enabling
+ mod_rewrite and adding the following rules to your configuration:
+
+ RewriteEngine On
+ RewriteBase /
+ RewriteRule ^/w/wiki\.phtml$ /w/index.php [R=301,L]
+* Hook ArticleAfterFetchContent (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.

+ Use EditPageGetPreviewContent instead.
+* Hook TitleIsCssOrJsPage (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
+ Use ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor instead.
+* Hook TitleIsWikitextPage (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
+ Use ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor instead.
+* Article::getContent() (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
+* Revision::getText() (deprecated in 1.21) was removed.
+* Article::doEdit() and WikiPage::doEdit() (deprecated in 1.21) were removed.

+* Article::doEditContent() was marked as deprecated, to be removed in 1.30
+ or later.
+* ContentHandler::runLegacyHooks() was removed.
+* refreshLinks.php now can be limited to a particular category with --category=...
+ or a tracking category with --tracking-category=...
+* User-like objects that are passed to SpecialUserRights and its subclasses are
+ now required to have a getGroupMemberships() method. See UserRightsProxy for
+ an example.
+* User::$mGroups (instance variable) was marked private. Use User::getGroups()
+ instead.
+* User::getGroupName(), User::getGroupMember(), User:getGroupPage(),
+ User::makeGroupLinkHTML(), and User::makeGroupLinkWiki() were deprecated.
+ Use equivalent methods on the UserGroupMembership class.
+* Maintenance scripts and tests that call User::addGroup() must now ensure that
+ User objects have been added to the database prior to calling addGroup().
+* Protected function UsersPager::getGroups() was removed, and protected function
+ UsersPager::buildGroupLink() was changed from a static to an instance method.
+* The third parameter ($cache) to the UsersPagerDoBatchLookups hook was changed;
+ see docs/hooks.txt.
+* User::crypt() (deprecated in 1.24) was removed.
+* User::comparePasswords() (deprecated in 1.24) was removed.
+* ArchivedFile::getUserText() (deprecated in 1.23) was removed.
+* HTMLFileCache::newFromTitle() (deprecated in 1.24) was removed.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: Internal signature changes to ChangesListSpecialPage
+ and subclasses. It should only break if you call buildMainQueryConds
+ (changed to buildQuery with new signature) or doMainQuery (new
+ signature). Subclasses are likely to call at least doMainQuery
+ (possibly both), but other classes might too, because they were
+ public.
+ Also, some related hooks were deprecated, but this is not yet a
+ breaking change.
+* Removed 'jquery.arrowSteps' module. (deprecated since 1.28)
+* The 'jquery.autoEllipsis' ResourceLoader module is now deprecated.
+* WikiRevision::$fileIsTemp was deprecated.
+* WikiRevision::$importer was deprecated.
+* WikiRevision::$user was deprecated.
+* Article::getLastPurgeTimestamp(), WikiPage::getLastPurgeTimestamp(), and the
+ WikiPage::PURGE_* constants are deprecated, and the functions will always
+ return false. They were a hack for an issue that has since been fixed.
+* Hook 'EditPageBeforeEditChecks' is now deprecated. Instead use the new hook
+ 'EditPageGetCheckboxesDefinition', or 'EditPage::showStandardInputs:options'
+ if you don't actually care about checkboxes and just want to add some HTML
+ to the page.
+* Selflinks are now rendered as href-less <a> tags with the class mw-selflink
+ rather than <strong> tags. The old class name, "selflink", was deprecated
+ and will be removed in a future release. (T160480)
+* (T156184) $wgRawHtml will no longer apply to internationalization messages.
+* Browser support for non-ES5 JavaScript browsers, including Android 2,
+ Opera <12.10, and Internet Explorer 9, was lowered from Grade A to Grade C.
+* Removed wikibits global methods deprecated since MediaWiki 1.17 (T122755):
+ is_gecko, is_chrome_mac, is_chrome, webkit_version, is_safari_win, is_safari,
+ webkit_match, is_ff2, ff2_bugs, is_ff2_win, is_ff2_x11, opera95_bugs,
+ opera7_bugs, opera6_bugs, is_opera_95, is_opera_preseven, is_opera,
+ ie6_bugs, clientPC, changeText, killEvt, addHandler, hookEvent,
+ addClickHandler, removeHandler, getElementsByClassName, getInnerText,
+ setupCheckboxShiftClick, addCheckboxClickHandlers, mwEditButtons,
+ mwCustomEditButtons, injectSpinner, removeSpinner, escapeQuotes,
+ escapeQuotesHTML, jsMsg, addPortletLink, appendCSS, tooltipAccessKeyPrefix,
+ tooltipAccessKeyRegexp, updateTooltipAccessKeys.
+* The ID of the <li> element containing the login link has changed from
+ 'pt-login' to 'pt-login-private' in private wikis.
+* The old, neglected "bulletin board style toolbar" in the edit form is now
+ deprecated (T30856). This old code dates from 2006, and was replaced in the
+ MediaWiki release tarball and in Wikimedia production by the WikiEditor
+ extension in 2010. It is only shown to users if no other editor was
+ installed, and leads to confusion.
+* (T92459) Loading ResourceLoader modules containing JavaScript through
+ addModuleStyles() is deprecated and will log a warning server-side.

+* (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::disableSizeCheck() was removed (deprecated since 1.24)
+* ApiResult::enableSizeCheck() was removed (deprecated since 1.24)

+* ApiResult::setContinueParam() was removed (deprecated since 1.25)
+* ApiResult::setElement() 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)
+ * Skin::linkKnown() (use MediaWiki\Linker\LinkRenderer instead)

+ 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.

+ 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

+
+== 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.

= MediaWiki 1.27 =
+== MediaWiki 1.27.4 ==
+This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.27 branch.

+== MediaWiki 1.27.3 ==
+Due to a packaging error, the wrong version of the SyntaxHighlight extension was
+included in the tarball version of MediaWiki 1.27.2. The version included had a
+serious security issue in it (T158689). There was also some minor code fixes in

+
+This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.27 branch.
+
+=== Changes since 1.27.0 ===
+* BREAKING CHANGE: $wgHTTPProxy is now *required* for all external requests
