For current info see RELEASE-NOTES-1.31. + += MediaWiki 1.30 = + +== MediaWiki 1.30.0 == + +=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.30.0-rc.0 === +* Upgraded Moment.js from v2.15.0 to v2.19.3. +* Add ip_changes to postgres/tables.sql. +* Skip null shell parameters. +* Add wfWaitForSlaves() to maintenance/migrateComments.php. +* (T182245) Fix join conditions in ImageListPager. +* (T178626) Revert #contentSub and #jump-to-nav margin changes. + +=== MySQL version requirement in 1.30 === +As of 1.30, MediaWiki now requires MySQL 5.5.8 or higher (see Compatibility +section). + +=== Configuration changes in 1.30 === +* The "C.UTF-8" locale should be used for $wgShellLocale, if available, to avoid + unexpected behavior when code uses locale-sensitive string comparisons. For + example, the Scribunto extension considers "bar" < "Foo" in most locales + since it ignores case. +* $wgShellLocale now affects LC_ALL rather than only LC_CTYPE. See + documentation of $wgShellLocale for details. +* $wgShellLocale is now applied for all requests. wfInitShellLocale() is + deprecated and a no-op, as it is no longer needed. +* $wgJobClasses may now specify callback functions as an alternative to plain + class names. This is intended for extensions that want control over the + instantiation of their jobs, to allow for proper dependency injection. +* $wgResourceModules may now specify callback functions as an alternative + to plain class names, using the 'factory' key in the module description + array. This allows dependency injection to be used for ResourceLoader modules. +* $wgExceptionHooks has been removed. +* (T163562) $wgRangeContributionsCIDRLimit was introduced to control the size + of IP ranges that can be queried at Special:Contributions. +* (T45547) $wgUsePigLatinVariant added (off by default). +* (T152540) MediaWiki now supports a section ID escaping style that allows to display + non-Latin characters verbatim on many modern browsers. This is controlled by the + new configuration setting, $wgFragmentMode. +* $wgExperimentalHtmlIds is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version, + use $wgFragmentMode to migrate off it to a modern alternative. +* $wgExternalInterwikiFragmentMode was introduced to control how fragments in + sinterwikis going outside of current wiki farm are encoded. +* (T120333) Soft-deprecated the use of PHP extension 'mysql' in favor of 'mysqli'. + This PHP extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5 and removed in PHP 7.0. MediaWiki + auto-selects the 'mysqli' driver since MediaWiki 1.22, except if explicitly + requested through the configuration parameter $wgDBservers. +* $wgOOUIEditPage was removed, as it is now the default. This was documented as a + temporary variable during the migration period. + +=== New features in 1.30 === +* (T37247) Output from Parser::parse() will now be wrapped in a div with + class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using + ParserOptions::setWrapOutputClass(). +* (T163562) Added ability to search for contributions within an IP ranges + at Special:Contributions. +* Added 'ChangeTagsAllowedAdd' hook, enabling extensions to allow software- + specific tags to be added by users. +* Added a 'ParserOptionsRegister' hook to allow extensions to register + additional parser options. +* (T45547) Included Pig Latin, a language game in English, as a + LanguageConverter variant. This allows English-speaking developers + to develop and test LanguageConverter more easily. Pig Latin can be + enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true. +* Added RecentChangesPurgeRows hook to allow extensions to purge data that + depends on the recentchanges table. +* Added JS config values wgDiffOldId/wgDiffNewId to the output of diff pages. +* (T2424) Added direct unwatch links to entries in Special:Watchlist (if the + 'watchlistunwatchlinks' preference option is enabled). With JavaScript + enabled, these links toggle so the user can also re-watch pages that have + just been unwatched. +* Added $wgParserTestMediaHandlers, where mock media handlers can be passed to + MediaHandlerFactory for parser tests. +* Edit summaries, block reasons, and other "comments" are now stored in a + separate database table. Use the CommentFormatter class to access them. +** This is currently gated by $wgCommentTableSchemaMigrationStage. Most wikis + can set this to MIGRATION_NEW and run maintenance/migrateComments.php as + soon as any necessary extensions are updated. +* (T138166) Added ability for users to prohibit other users from sending them + emails with Special:Emailuser. Can be enabled by setting + $wgEnableUserEmailBlacklist to true. +* (T67297) $wgBrowserBlacklist is deprecated, and changing it will have no effect. + Instead, users using browsers that do not support Unicode will be unable to edit + and should upgrade to a modern browser instead. + +=== External library changes in 1.30 === + +==== Upgraded external libraries ==== +* Updated justinrainbow/json-schema from v3.0 to v5.2. +* Updated mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer from v0.7.2 to v0.12.0. +* Updated wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin from v1.4.0 to v1.4.1. +* Updated wikimedia/relpath from v1.0.3 to v2.0.0. +* Updated OOjs from v2.0.0 to v2.1.0. +* Updated OOUI from v0.21.1 to v0.23.0. +* Updated QUnit from v1.23.1 to v2.4.0. +* Updated phpunit/phpunit from v4.8.35 to v4.8.36. +* Upgraded Moment.js from v2.15.0 to v2.19.3. + +==== New external libraries ==== +* The class \TestingAccessWrapper has been moved to the external library + wikimedia/testing-access-wrapper and renamed \Wikimedia\TestingAccessWrapper. +* Purtle, a fast, lightweight RDF generator. + +==== Removed and replaced external libraries ==== +* … + +=== Bug fixes in 1.30 === +* (T151633) Ordered list items use now Devanagari digits in Nepalese + (thanks to Sfic) + +=== Action API changes in 1.30 === +* (T37247) action=parse output will be wrapped in a div with + class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using + the new 'wrapoutputclass' parameter. +* When errorformat is not 'bc', abort reasons from action=login will be + formatted as specified by the error formatter parameters. +* action=compare can now handle arbitrary text, deleted revisions, and + returning users and edit comments. +* (T164106) The 'rvdifftotext', 'rvdifftotextpst', 'rvdiffto', + 'rvexpandtemplates', 'rvgeneratexml', 'rvparse', and 'rvprop=parsetree' + parameters to prop=revisions are deprecated, as are the similarly named + parameters to prop=deletedrevisions, list=allrevisions, and + list=alldeletedrevisions. Use action=compare, action=parse, or + action=expandtemplates instead. + +=== Action API internal changes in 1.30 === +* ApiBase::getDescriptionMessage() and the "apihelp-*-description" messages are + deprecated. The existing message should be split between "apihelp-*-summary" + and "apihelp-*-extended-description". +* (T123931) Individual values of multi-valued parameters can now be marked as + deprecated. + +=== Languages updated in 1.30 === +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. + +* Added: kbp (Kabɩyɛ / Kabiyè) +* Added: skr (Saraiki, سرائیکی) +* Added: tay (Tayal / Atayal) +* Removed: tokipona (Toki Pona) + +==== Pig Latin added ==== +* (T45547) Added Pig Latin, a made-up English variant (en-x-piglatin), + for easier variant development and testing. Disabled by default. It can be + enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true. + +=== Other changes in 1.30 === +* The use of an associative array for $wgProxyList, where the IP address is in + the key instead of the value, is deprecated (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' => 'value' ]). + Please convert these arrays to indexed/sequential ones (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' ]). +* mw.user.bucket (deprecated in 1.23) was removed. +* LoadBalancer::getServerInfo() and LoadBalancer::setServerInfo() are + deprecated.

BagOStuff::makeKey() and + BagOStuff::makeGlobalKey() should be used instead. +* (T146304) Preprocessor handling of LanguageConverter markup has been improved. + As a result of the new uniform handling, '-{' may need to be escaped + (for example, as '-<nowiki/>{') where it occurs inside template arguments + or wikilinks. +* (T163966) Page moves are now counted as edits for the purposes of + autopromotion, i.e., they increment the user_editcount field in the database. +* Two new hooks, LogEventsListLineEnding and NewPagesLineEnding, were added for + manipulating Special:Log and Special:NewPages lines. +* The OldChangesListRecentChangesLine, EnhancedChangesListModifyLineData, + PageHistoryLineEnding, ContributionsLineEnding and DeletedContributionsLineEnding + hooks have an additional parameter, for manipulating HTML data attributes of + RC/history lines. EnhancedChangesListModifyBlockLineData can do that via the + $data['attribs'] subarray. +* (T130632) The OutputPage::enableTOC() method was removed. +* WikiPage::getParserOutput() will now throw an exception if passed + ParserOptions that would pollute the parser cache. Callers should use + WikiPage::makeParserOptions() to create the ParserOptions object and only + change options that affect the parser cache key. +* Article::viewRedirect() is deprecated. +* IP::isValidBlock() was deprecated. Use the equivalent IP::isValidRange(). +* DeprecatedGlobal no longer supports passing in a direct value, it requires a + callable factory function or a class name. +* The $parserMemc global, wfGetParserCacheStorage(), and ParserCache::singleton() + are all deprecated.

Prior to that, the Config parameter was optional (a behavior deprecated in + 1.25). +* Removed 'jquery.mwExtension' module. (deprecated since 1.26) +* mediawiki.ui: Deprecate greys, which are not part of WikimediaUI color palette + any more. +* CdbReader, CdbWriter, CdbException classes (deprecated in 1.25) were removed. + The namespaced classes in the Cdb namespace should be used instead. +* IPSet class (deprecated in 1.26) was removed.

The IContextSource returned from + EditPage::getContext() must be modified instead. +* Parser::getRandomString() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed. +* Parser::uniqPrefix() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed. +* Parser::extractTagsAndParams() now only accepts three arguments. The fourth, + $uniq_prefix was deprecated in 1.26 and has now been removed. +* (T172514) The following tables have had their UNIQUE indexes turned into proper + PRIMARY KEYs for increased maintainability: categorylinks, imagelinks, iwlinks, + langlinks, log_search, module_deps, objectcache, pagelinks, query_cache, site_stats, + templatelinks, text, transcache, user_former_groups, user_properties. +* IDatabase::nextSequenceValue() is no longer needed by any database backends + (formerly it was needed by PostgreSQL and Oracle), and is now deprecated. +* (T146591) The lc_lang_key index on the l10n_cache table has been changed into a + PRIMARY KEY. +* (T157227) bot_password.bp_user, change_tag.ct_log_id, change_tag.ct_rev_id, + page_restrictions.pr_user, tag_summary.ts_log_id, tag_summary.ts_rev_id and + user_properties.up_user have all been made unsigned on MySQL. +* DB_SLAVE is deprecated.
