setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
-== MediaWiki 1.16 ==
+== MediaWiki 1.17 ==
THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
-=== Configuration changes in 1.16 ===
-* (bug 18222) $wgMinimalPasswordLength default is now 1
-* $wgSessionHandler can be used to configure session.save_handler
-* $wgLocalFileRepo/$wgForeignFileRepos now have a 'fileMode' parameter to
- be used when uploading/moving files
-* (bug 18761) $wgHiddenPrefs is a new array for specifying preferences not
- to be shown to users
-* $wgAllowRealName and $wgAllowUserSkin were deprecated in favor of
- $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'realname', but the former are still retained
- for backwards-compatibility
-* (bug 9257) $wgRCMaxAge now defaults to three months
-* $wgDevelopmentWarnings can be set to true to show warnings about deprecated
- functions and other potential errors when developing.
-* Subpages are now enabled in the MediaWiki namespace by default. This is
- mainly a cosmetic change, and does not in any way affect the MessageCache,
- which was already effectively treating the namespace as if it had subpages.
-* (bug 10837) $wgVariant is a user variant selected in the user's preferences
- if the $wgContLang does not have variant, then the $wgLang is used instead.
-* Oracle: maintenance/ora/user.sql script for creating DB user on oracle with
- appropriate privileges. Creating this user with web-install page requires
- oci8.privileged_connect set to On in php.ini.
-* Removed UserrightsChangeableGroups hook introduced in 1.14
-* Added $wgCacheDirectory, to replace $wgFileCacheDirectory,
- $wgLocalMessageCache, and any other local caches which need a place to put
- files.
-* $wgFileCacheDirectory is no longer set to anything by default, and so either
- needs to be set explicitly, or $wgCacheDirectory needs to be set instead.
-* $wgLocalMessageCache has been removed. Instead, set $wgUseLocalMessageCache
- to true
-* Removed $wgEnableSerializedMessages and $wgCheckSerialized. Similar
- functionality is now available via $wgLocalisationCacheConf.
-* $wgMessageCache->addMessages() is deprecated. Messages added via this
- interface will not appear in Special:AllMessages.
-* $wgRegisterInternalExternals can be used to record external links pointing
- to same server
-* (bug 19907) $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains and $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomainExceptions added
- to control which external domains may access the API via cross-site AJAX.
-* $wgMaintenanceScripts for extensions to add their scripts to the default list
-* $wgMemoryLimit has been added, default value '50M'
-* $wgExtraRandompageSQL is deprecated, the SpecialRandomGetRandomTitle hook
- should be used instead
-* (bug 20489) $wgIllegalFileChars added to override the default list of illegal
- characters in file names.
-* (bug 19646) $wgImgAuthDetails added to display reason access to uploaded file
- was denied to users(img_auth only)
-* (bug 19646) $wgImgAuthPublicTest added to test to see if img_auth set up
- correctly (img_auth only)

- maintenance

-* (bug 21172) $wgSorbsUrl can now be an array with multiple DNSBL and renamed
- to $wgDnsBlacklistUrls (backward compatibility kept)

- CIDR ranges for blocking

- file repository

-* $wgPreviewOnOpenNamespaces for extensions that create namespaces that behave
- similarly to the category namespace.
-* $wgEnableSorbs renamed to $wgDnsBlacklistUrls ($wgEnableSorbs kept for
- backward compatibility)
-* $wgUploadNavigationUrl now also affects images inline images that do not
- exist. In that case the URL will get (?|&)wpDestFile=<filename> appended to
- it as appropriate.
-* If $wgLocaltimezone is null, use the server's timezone as the default for
- signatures. This was always the behaviour documented in DefaultSettings.php
- but has not been the actual behaviour for some time: instead, UTC was used
- by default.
-* Added $wgExtensionAssetsPath, to decouple assets serving from $wgScriptPath.
- If not specified it will default to $wgScriptPath/extensions
-* Added $wgCountTotalSearchHits to make search UI display total number of hits
- with some search engines.
-* Added $wgAdvertisedFeedTypes to decide what feed types (RSS, Atom, both, or
- neither) MediaWiki advertises. Default is array( 'atom' ), so RSS is no
- longer advertised by default (but it still works).
-* Added $wgMemCachedTimeout, controls how long to wait for data from the
- memcached servers.
-* New configuration variables $wgDebugTimestamps and $wgDebugPrintHttpHeaders
- for controlling debug output.

- the DBA extension is not available.
-* Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around

- set $wgCacheDirectory to get a faster CDB-based implementation.
-* Expanded the number of variables which can be set in the extension messages
- files.
-* Added a feature to allow per-article process pool size control for the parsing
- task, to limit resource usage when the cache for a heavily-viewed article is
