-== MediaWiki 1.27 ==
-
-THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
-
-MediaWiki 1.27 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in
-production.
-
-=== PHP version requirement ===
-As of 1.27, MediaWiki now requires PHP 5.5.9 or higher (see Compatibility
-section). Additionally, the following PHP extensions are required:
-* ctype
-* iconv
-* json
-* mbstring (new requirement in 1.27)
-* xml
-The following PHP extensions are strongly recommended:
-* openssl
-
-=== Configuration changes in 1.27 ===
-* $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes and $wgAllowRdfaAttributes were removed,
- now always enabled. If you use RDFa on your wiki, you now have to explicitly
- set $wgHtml5Version to 'HTML+RDFa 1.0' or 'XHTML+RDFa 1.0'.
-* $wgUseLinkNamespaceDBFields was removed.
-* Deprecated $wgResourceLoaderMinifierStatementsOnOwnLine and
- $wgResourceLoaderMinifierMaxLineLength, because there was little value in
- making the behavior configurable. The default values (`false` for the former,
- 1000 for the latter) are now hard-coded.
-* $wgDebugDumpSqlLength was removed (deprecated in 1.24).
-* $wgDebugDBTransactions was removed (deprecated in 1.20).
-* $wgUseXVO has been removed, as it provides functionality only used by
- custom Wikimedia patches against Squid 2.x that probably noone uses in
- production anymore. There is now $wgUseKeyHeader that provides similar
- functionality but instead of the MediaWiki-specific X-Vary-Options header,
- uses the draft Key header standard.
-* $wgScriptExtension (and support for '.php5' entry points) was removed. See the
- deprecation notice in the release notes for version 1.25 for advice on how to
- preserve support for '.php5' entry points via URL rewriting.
-* Password handling via the User object has been deprecated and partially
- removed, pending the future introduction of AuthManager. In particular:
-** expirePassword(), getPasswordExpireDate(), resetPasswordExpiration(), and
- getPasswordExpired() have been removed. They were unused outside of core.
-** The mPassword, mNewpassword, mNewpassTime, and mPasswordExpires fields are
- now private and will be removed in the future.
-** The getPassword() and getTemporaryPassword() methods now throw
- BadMethodCallException and will be removed in the future.
-** The ability to pass 'password' and 'newpassword' to createNew() has been
- removed. The only users of it seem to have been using it to set invalid
- passwords, and so shouldn't be greatly affected.
-** setPassword(), setInternalPassword(), and setNewpassword() have been
- deprecated, pending the introduction of AuthManager.
-** User::randomPassword() is deprecated in favor of a new method
- PasswordFactory::generateRandomPasswordString()
-** User::getPasswordFactory() is deprecated, callers should just create a
- PasswordFactory themselves.
-** A new constructor, User::newSystemUser(), has been added to simplify the
- creation of passwordless "system" users for logged actions.
-* $wgMaxSquidPurgeTitles was removed.
-* $wgAjaxWatch was removed. This is now enabled by default.
-* $wgUseInstantCommons now hotlinks Commons images by default instead of
- downloading originals and thumbnailing them locally. This allows wikis to save
- on CPU and bandwidth while reducing time to first byte for pages, even without
- a thumbnail handler. See $wgForeignFileRepos documentation for tweaks.
-* (T27397) WebP is enabled by default as an uploadable filetype.
-* (T48998) $wgArticlePath must now be either a full url, or start with a "/".
-* $wgRateLimitLog was removed; use $wgDebugLogGroups['ratelimit'] instead.
-* Deprecated API formats dbg, txt, and yaml have been removed.
-* CLDRPluralRule* classes have been replaced with
- wikimedia/cldr-plural-rule-parser.
-* Removed $wgProfilePerHost, $wgUDPProfilerHost, $wgUDPProfilerPort,
- $wgUDPProfilerFormatString, $wgStatsMethod, $wgAggregateStatsID,
- $wgStatsFormatString, and $wgProfileCallTree (deprecated since 1.20).
-* For proper operation of LocalIdLookup with shared user tables, ensure that
- $wgSharedDB and $wgSharedTables are properly set even on the "central" wiki
- that all others are sharing from and that $wgLocalDatabases is set to the
- full list of sharing wikis on all those wikis.
-* Massive overhaul to session handling:
-** $wgSessionsInObjectCache is no longer supported and must be true, due to
- MediaWiki\Session\SessionManager. $wgSessionHandler is similarly no longer
- used.
-** ObjectCacheSessionHandler is removed, replaced with
- MediaWiki\Session\PhpSessionHandler.
-** PHP session handling in general ($_SESSION, session_id(), and so on) is
- deprecated. Use MediaWiki\Session\SessionManager instead. A new config
- variable, $wgPHPSessionHandling, is available to cause use of $_SESSION to
- issue a deprecation warning or to cause most PHP session handling to throw
- exceptions.
-** Deprecated UserSetCookies hook. Session-handling extensions should generally
- be creating a custom subclass of CookieSessionProvider. Other extensions
- messing with cookies can no longer count on user data being saved in cookies
- versus other methods.
-** Deprecated UserLoadFromSession hook, extensions should create a
- MediaWiki\Session\SessionProvider.
-** The User cannot be loaded from session until after Setup.php completes.
- Attempts to do so will be ignored and the User will remain unloaded.
-** CSRF tokens may be fetched from the MediaWiki\Session\Session, which uses
- the MediaWiki\Session\Token class.
-* MediaWiki will now auto-create users as necessary, removing the need for
- extensions to do so. An 'autocreateaccount' right is added to allow
- auto-creation when 'createaccount' is not granted to all users.
-* Deprecated AuthPluginAutoCreate hook in favor of LocalUserCreated.
-* Most cookie-handling methods in User are deprecated.
-* $wgAllowAsyncCopyUploads and $CopyUploadAsyncTimeout were removed. This was an
- experimental feature that has never worked.
-* Login and createaccount tokens now vary by timestamp.
-* LoginForm::getLoginToken() and LoginForm::getCreateaccountToken()
- return a MediaWiki\Session\Token, and tokens must be checked using that
- class's methods.
-* $wgEnotifUseJobQ was removed and the job queue is always used.
-* The functionality of the ApiSandbox extension has been merged into core. The
- extension should no longer be used.
-* $wgPreloadJavaScriptMwUtil was removed (deprecated in 1.26).
- Extensions, skins, gadgets and scripts that use the mediawiki.util module must
- express a dependency on it.
-* $wgIncludeLegacyJavaScript, deprecated in MediaWiki 1.26, now defaults false.
- Extensions, skins, gadgets and scripts that need the mediawiki.legacy.wikibits
- module should express a dependency on it.
-* Removed configuration option $wgCopyrightIcon (deprecated since 1.18). Use
- $wgFooterIcons['copyright']['copyright'] instead.
-* If the openssl and mcrypt PHP extensions are both unavailable, secure
- session storage (used for login) will raise an exception. This exception may
- be bypassed by setting $wgSessionInsecureSecrets = true.
-* Massive overhaul to authentication:
-** AuthPlugin and AuthPluginUser are deprecated.
-** LoginForm and associated templates are deprecated. Extensions which called
- static LoginForm methods should be converted into authentication providers.
-** The following hooks are deprecated:
-*** AbortAutoAccount (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider instead)
-*** AbortLogin (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider instead)
-*** AbortNewAccount (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider instead)
-*** AddNewAccount (use LocalUserCreated instead)
-*** AuthPluginSetup (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider instead)
-*** ChangePasswordForm (use AuthChangeFormFields instead, or security levels)
-*** LoginUserMigrated (create a MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider instead)
-*** UserCreateForm (create a MediaWiki\Auth\AuthenticationProvider of some type instead)
-*** UserLoginForm (create a MediaWiki\Auth\AuthenticationProvider of some type instead)
-** The following hooks are removed:
-*** AbortChangePassword
-*** LoginPasswordResetMessage
-*** PrefsPasswordAudit
-** The UserLoginComplete hook will no longer be called for all logins, only for
- those via the web UI. Use UserLoggedIn if you need to do something on all
- logins.
-** $wgRequirePasswordforEmailChange is removed.
-
-=== New features in 1.27 ===
-* $wgDataCenterUpdateStickTTL was also added. This decides how long a user
- sticks to the primary DC (via cookies) after they make changes to the site.
-* Added a new hook, 'UserMailerTransformContent', to transform the contents
- of an email. This is similar to the EmailUser hook but applies to all mail
- sent via UserMailer.
-* Added a new hook, 'UserMailerTransformMessage', to transform the contents
- of an emai after MIME encoding.
-* Added a new hook, 'UserMailerSplitTo', to control which users have to be
- emailed separately (ie. there is a single address in the To: field) so
- user-specific changes to the email can be applied safely.
-* $wgCdnMaxageLagged was added, which limits the CDN cache TTL
- when any load balancer uses a DB that is lagged beyond the 'max lag'
- setting in the relevant section of $wgLBFactoryConf.
-* User::newSystemUser() may be used to simplify the creation of passwordless
- "system" users for logged actions from scripts and extensions.
-* Extensions can now return detailed error information via the API when
- preventing user actions using 'getUserPermissionsErrors' and similar hooks
- by using ApiMessage instances instead of strings for the $result value.
-* $wgAPIMaxLagThreshold was added to limit bot changes when databases lag
- becomes too high.
-* Skins and extensions can now use FlexBox mixins (.flex-display(@display: flex)
- and .flex(@grow: 1, @shrink: 1, @width: auto, @order: 1)) in Less to create
- cross-browser-compatible FlexBox rules. Users will still need to add fallback
- float rules or the like for compatibility with IE9- separately.
-* Added MWTimestamp::getTimezoneString() which returns the localized timezone
- string, if available. To localize this string, see the comments of
- $wgLocaltimezone in includes/DefaultSettings.php.
-* Added CentralIdLookup, a service that allows extensions needing a concept of
- "central" users to get that without having to know about specific central
- authentication extensions.
-* $wgMaxUserDBWriteDuration added to limit huge user-generated transactions.
- Regular web request transactions that takes longer than this are aborted.
-* Added a new hook, 'TitleMoveCompleting', which runs before a page move is
- committed.
-* $wgCdnReboundPurgeDelay was added to provide secondary delayed purges of URLs
- from CDN to mitigate DB replication lag and WAN cache purge lag.
-* (T49162) Installer will default to setting CACHE_ACCEL as the main cache type
- if it is available.
-* It is now possible to patrol file uploads (both for new files and new versions
- of existing files). Special:NewFiles has gained an option to filter by patrol
- status. This functionality can be disabled using $wgUseFilePatrol.
-* MediaWiki\Session infrastructure allows for easier use of session mechanisms
- other than the usual cookies.
-** SessionMetadata and SessionCheckInfo hooks allow for setting and checking
- custom session metadata.
-* Added MWGrants and associated configuration settings $wgGrantPermissions and
- $wgGrantPermissionGroups to hold configuration for authentication features
- such as OAuth that want to allow restricting the user rights a user may make
- use of.
-** If you're already using the OAuth extension, these new variables are
- identical to (and will replace) $wgMWOAuthGrantPermissions and
- $wgMWOAuthGrantPermissionGroups.
-* Added MWRestrictions as a class to check restrictions on a WebRequest, e.g.
- to assert that the request comes from a particular IP range.
-* Added bot passwords, a rights-restricted login mechanism for API-using bots.
-* Whitelisted the following HTML attributes for all elements in wikitext:
- aria-describedby, aria-flowto, aria-label, aria-labelledby, aria-owns.
-* Removed "presentation" restriction on the HTML role attribute in wikitext.
- All values are now allowed for the role attribute.
-* $wgContentHandlers now also supports callbacks to create an instance of the
- appropriate ContentHandler subclass.
-* Added $wgAuthenticationTokenVersion, which if non-null prevents the
- user_token database field from being exposed in cookies. Setting this would
- be a good idea, but will log out all current sessions.
-* $wgEventRelayerConfig was added, for managing PubSub event relay configuration,
- specifically for reliable CDN url purges.
-* Requests have unique IDs, equal to the UNIQUE_ID environment variable (when
- MediaWiki is behind Apache+mod_unique_id or something similar) or a randomly-
- generated 24-character string. This request ID is used to annotate log records
- and error messages. It is available client-side via mw.config.get( 'wgRequestId' ).
- The request ID supplants exception IDs. Accordingly, MWExceptionHandler::getLogId()
- is deprecated.
-* (T33313) Add a preference for watching uploads by default, also applies
- to API-based upload tools.
-* $wgJpegPixelFormat was added to override chroma subsampling for JPEG image
- thumbnails created via ImageMagick. Defaults to 'yuv420', providing bandwidth
- savings versus the previous behavior on many files.
-* MediaWiki\Auth infrastructure (called "AuthManager") allows for more flexible
- configuration of multiple authentication pieces that was possible with
- AuthPlugin. For example, it's now easy to plug in second-factor
- authentication, or add additional checks to the login process, or to support
- multiple login methods at once, or to support non-password-based login methods.
-** Providers are configured via the global setting $wgAuthManagerConfig.
-** A global, $wgDisableAuthManager, is temporarily available to disable
- AuthManager until extensions are ready to support it.
-** New hook, AuthChangeFormFields, to adjust the form fields on
- AuthManager-related special pages.
-** New hook, AuthManagerLoginAuthenticateAudit, for additional logging of
- AuthManager-related authentication requests.
-** New hook, ChangeAuthenticationDataAudit, for additional logging of
- AuthManager-related authentication data changes.
-** New hook, SecuritySensitiveOperationStatus, to work with the new mechanism
- for requiring a recent login before taking security-sensitive operations
- like changing a password.
-** Two new globals, $wgChangeCredentialsBlacklist and $wgRemoveCredentialsBlacklist
- can be used to prevent the web UI and the API changing certain authentication data.
-* The file upload dialog (available if you install WikiEditor or VisualEditor)
- can now be configured using $wgUploadDialog.

-
-== Compatibility ==
-
-MediaWiki 1.27 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 ==
-
-1.27 has several database changes since 1.26, 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 1.26.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
-

-
- 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.
