Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
-== MediaWiki 1.11.0 ==
+== MediaWiki 1.14.0 ==
-September 10, 2007
+February 22, 2009
-This is the Fall 2007 snapshot release of MediaWiki.
+This is the first stable release of the 2009 Q1 branch of MediaWiki.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
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
-== Changes since 1.11.0rc1 ==
-
-A possible HTML/XSS injection vector in the API pretty-printing mode has
-been found and fixed.
-
-The vulnerability may be worked around in an unfixed version by simply
-disabling the API interface if it is not in use, by adding this to
-LocalSettings.php:
-
- $wgEnableAPI = false;
-
-(This is the default setting in 1.8.x.)
-
-Not vulnerable versions:
-* 1.11 >= 1.11.0
-* 1.10 >= 1.10.2
-* 1.9 >= 1.9.4
-* 1.8 >= 1.8.5
-
-Vulnerable versions:
-* 1.11 <= 1.11.0rc1
-* 1.10 <= 1.10.1
-* 1.9 <= 1.9.3
-* 1.8 <= 1.8.4 (if $wgEnableAPI has been switched on)
-
-MediaWiki 1.7 and below are not affected as they do not include
-the faulty function, however the BotQuery extension is similarly
-vulnerable unless updated to the latest SVN version.
-
-

- used

+NOTE: Installation of MediaWiki on SQLite has been temporarily disabled in this
+release due to the discovery of serious problems with the schema. We expect to
+fix this problem for the release of 1.15.0.
+
+== Changes since 1.14.0rc1 ==
+
+* Fixed the performance of the backlinks API module
+* (bug 17420) Send the correct content type from action=raw when the HTML file
+ cache is enabled.
+* (bug 17437) Fixed incorrect link to web-based installer
+* (bug 17527) Fixed missing MySQL-specific options in installer
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.14 ===
+
+* $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl is an array of namespaces to be exempt from
+ the effect of the new __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words. (Default: null, ex-
+ empt all content namespaces.)
+* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4
+ has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
+* (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either
+ $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent
+ Changes feed that appears on all pages.
+* $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for
+ SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from
+ $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki.
+* $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like
+ $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified
+ group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves.
+ Backwards compatibility is maintained.
+* $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic
+ word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This
+ is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title.
+* $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions.
+* $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead.
+* Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people
+ with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection
+ is not required.
+* $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings.
+* Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image
+ whitelist on or off.
+* Added $wgRenderHashAppend to append some string to the parser cache and the
+ sitenotice cache keys.
+* $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold is now a positive integer by default,
+* (bug 16006) $wgEnableWriteAPI is now true by default. Authorized can perform
+ write actions using the API.
+* Added $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix which adds an interwiki prefix
+ ($wgLocalInterwiki) onto the page names in the UDP feed.
+* Added $wgAllowUserSkin to let the wiki's owner disable user selectable skins
+ on the wiki. If it's set to true, then the skin used will *always* be
+ $wgDefaultSkin.
+* Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based
+ on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username)
+* Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in
+ ForeignAPIRepo)
+* (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File.
+ For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may
+ need to be updated.
+* The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and
+ NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility,
+ and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older.
+* MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by
+ using $wgUsePrivateIPs.
+* The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in
+ Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions
+ to customize the watchlist database query.
+
+
+=== Migrated extensions ===
+The following extensions are migrated into MediaWiki 1.14:
+
+* Special:DeletedContributions to show deleted user contributions (was
+ extension DeletedContributions)
+* Special:Log/newusers recording new users (was extension Newuserlog)
+* Special:LinkSearch to search for external links (was extension LinkSearch)
+* RenderHash
+* NoMoveUserPages
+* UniversalEditButton
+
+=== New features in 1.14 ===
+
+* New URL syntaxes for Special:ListUsers - 'Special:ListUsers/USER' and
+ 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP/USER', in addition to the older syntax
+ 'Special:ListUsers/GROUP' where GROUP is a valid group name.
+* Configurable per-namespace and per-page notices for the edit form,
+ respectively MediaWiki:Editnotice-# where # is the namespace number, and
+ MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-PAGENAME where # is the page's namespace number and
+ PAGENAME is the page name minus the namespace prefix.
+* (bug 8068) New __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ magic words allow user control of
+ search engine indexing on a per-article basis.
+* Handheld stylesheet options
+* Added 'DoEditSectionLink' hook as a cleaner unified version of the old
+ 'EditSectionLink' and 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hooks. Note that the
+ 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is
+ run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work
+ if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain).
+* Signature (~~~~) "cleaning", i.e. template removal, can be disabled with
+ $wgCleanSignatures=false
+* Extensions can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook to modify the content of the
+ sidebar and add custom portlets to it

+ Patch by Emufarmers

+ after the page content and article metadata. Updated all skins and skin
+ templates to work with that hook.
+* (bug 14929) removeUnusedAccounts.php now supports 'ignore-touched' and
+ 'ignore-groups'. Patch by Louperivois

+ so-called GIFAR vulnerability.

+ solutions such as CSS-based overlays and ImageMap.
+* (bug 368) Don't use caption for alt attribute; allow manual specification
+ using new "alt=" parameter for images
+* (bug 44) The {{ns:}} core parser function now also accepts localized
+ namespace names and aliases; also, its output now uses spaces instead of
+ underscores to match the behavior of the {{NAMESPACE}} magic word
+* Added the ability to display user edit counts in Special:ListUsers. Off by
+ default, enabled with $wgEdititis = true (named after the medical condition
+ marked by unhealthy obsession with edit counts).
+* Added a file cache to the parser to improve page rendering time on pages with
+ several uses of the same image.
+* (bug 1250) Users can still use "show preview" and "show changes" even if the
+ wiki is set to read-only mode.
+* Added a call to the 'UnwatchArticleComplete' hook to the watchlist editor.

== Compatibility ==
-MediaWiki 1.11 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
+MediaWiki 1.14 requires PHP 5 (5.2 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
== Upgrading ==
-1.11 has several database changes since 1.10, and will not work without schema
+1.14 has several database changes since 1.13, and will not work without schema
updates.
+If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons reposito-
+ry, 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.
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
+
=== Caveats ===
Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)
