+=== New installer in 1.17 ===
+MediaWiki 1.17 is shipping with a completely redesigned installer to fix
+a lot of outstanding bugs, cleanup the code quality, and make it easier to
+use. Notably, you can now run upgrades from the web without having to move
+LocalSettings.php. The specific bugs are listed below in the general notes.
+
=== Configuration changes in 1.17 ===
* DatabaseFunctions.php that was needed for compatibility with pre-1.3
extensions has been removed.
which causes Vector to render the variants drop-down menu with a label
showing the current variant name. This is off by default, pending further
research into its user experience implications.
-* Added $wgJQueryVersion, $wgJQueryMinified and $wgJQueryOnEveryPage (true by
- default) to configure loading of jQuery by MediaWiki.
* XmlFunctions.php has been removed. Use the Xml or Html classes as appropriate.
* Added $wgSQLMode for setting database SQL modes - either performance (null)
or other reasons (such as enabling stricter checks)
* $wgVectorExtraStyles was removed, and is no longer in use.
* $wgLoadScript was added to specify alternative locations for ResourceLoader
requests.
-* $wgResourceLoaderVersionedClientMaxage, $wgResourceLoaderVersionedServerMaxage,
- $wgResourceLoaderUnversionedClientMaxage and
- $wgResourceLoaderUnversionedServerMaxage were added to specify maxage and
- smaxage times for responses from ResourceLoader based on whether the request's
- URL contained a version parameter or not.
+* $wgResourceLoaderMaxage was added to specify maxage and smaxage times for
+ responses from ResourceLoader based on whether the request's URL contained a
+ version parameter or not.
+* $wgResourceLoaderDebug was added to specify the default state of debug mode;
+ this will still be overridden with the debug URL parameter a la
+ $wgLanguageCode.
+* $wgResourceLoaderInlinePrivateModules was added to specify whether private
+ modules such as user.options should be embedded in the HTML output or
+ delivered through a resource loader request, which bypasses server cache (like
+ squid) and checks the user parameter against $wgUser. The former adds more
+ data to all pages, while the latter adds a request which cannot be cached
+ server side.
+* Removed $wgUpdates for database updates; extension should use
+ DatabaseUpdater::addExtensionUpdate().
+* Removed $wgServerName. It doesn't need to be set anymore and is no longer
+ available as input for other configuration items, either.

+ $wgUploadNavigationUrl.

+ without having to move LocalSettings.php
