For current info see RELEASE-NOTES. +== MediaWiki 1.14 == + +=== 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 false, 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 +* Added 'MakeGlobalVariablesScript' hook for extensions to be able to add vari- + ables into into the output of Skin::makeVariablesScript +* (bug 13846) Added $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups display on + Special:ListGroupRights +* (bug 14377) Add a date selector to history pages +* (bug 15007) New 'pagetitle-view-mainpage' message allows the HTML of + the main page to be customized +* Added $wgDisableTitleConversion to disabling the conversion for all pages on + the wiki +* Added 'noconvertlink' toggle that can be set per user preferences, also + added 'convertlink=no|yes' on GET requests whether have the link titles + being converted or not +* (bug 14921) Special:Contributions/: add user name to <title> + Patch by Emufarmers +* Unescape more "safe" characters when producing URLs, for added prettiness +* Introduced a new hook 'SkinAfterContent' that allows extensions to add text + after the page content and article metadata.

Subsequent analysis by the +MediaWiki development team expanded the scope of these vulnerabilities. The +issues with a significant impact are as follows: + +* An XSS vulnerability affecting all MediaWiki installations between 1.13.0 and + 1.13.2. [CVE-2008-5249] +* A local script injection vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer clients for + all MediaWiki installations with uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250] +* A local script injection vulnerability affecting clients with SVG scripting + capability (such as Firefox 1.5+), for all MediaWiki installations with SVG + uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250] +* A CSRF vulnerability affecting the Special:Import feature, for all MediaWiki + installations since the feature was introduced in 1.3.0. [CVE-2008-5252] + +XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to steal an +authorised user's login session, and to act as that user on the wiki. The +authorised user must visit a web page controlled by the attacker in order to +activate the attack. Intranet wikis are vulnerable if the attacker can +determine the intranet URL. + +Local script injection vulnerabilities are like XSS vulnerabilities, except +that the attacker must have an account on the local wiki, and there is no +external site involved. The attacker uploads a script to the wiki, which another +user is tricked into executing, with the effect that the attacker is able to act +as the privileged user. + +CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to act as an authorised user on the wiki, +but unlike an XSS vulnerability, the attacker can only act as the user in a +specific and restricted way. The present CSRF vulnerability allows pages to be +edited, with forged revision histories. Like an XSS vulnerability, the +authorised user must visit the malicious web page to activate the attack. + +These four vulnerabilities are all fixed in this release. + +David Remahl also reminded us of some security-related configuration issues: + +* By default, MediaWiki stores a backup of deleted images in the images/deleted + directory. If you do not want these images to be publically accessible, make + sure this directory is not accessible from the web. MediaWiki takes some steps + to avoid leaking these images, but these measures are not perfect. +* Set display_errors=off in your php.ini to avoid path disclosure via PHP fatal + errors. This is the default on most shared web hosts. +* Enabling MediaWiki's debugging features, such as $wgShowExceptionDetails, may + lead to path disclosure. + +Other changes in this release: + +* Avoid fatal error in profileinfo.php when not configured. +* Add a .htaccess to deleted images directory for additional protection against + exposure of deleted files with known SHA-1 hashes on default installations. +* Avoid streaming uploaded files to the user via index.php. This allows + security-conscious users to serve uploaded files via a different domain, and + thus client-side scripts executed from that domain cannot access the login + cookies. Affects Special:Undelete, img_auth.php and thumb.php. +* When streaming files via index.php, use the MIME type detected from the + file extension, not from the data. This reduces the XSS attack surface. +* Blacklist redirects via Special:Filepath. Such redirects exacerbate any + XSS vulnerabilities involving uploads of files containing scripts. +* Internationalisation updates. + +== Changes since 1.13.1 == + +* Security: Work around misconfiguration by requiring strict comparisons for + in_array in User::isAllowed(). +* (bug 14944) Added $wgShellLocale for configuration of an appropriate locale + to use for LC_CTYPE during shell invocation. For servers that don't have + en_US.utf8. Also added locale detection during install. +* Localisation updates +* Security: Fixed XSS vulnerability in useskin parameter. + +== Changes since 1.13.0 == + +* (bug 15460) Fixed intermittent deadlock errors and poor concurrent + performance for installations without memcached. +* (bug 13770) Fixed DOM module detection for installations with both dom + and domxml. +* (bug 15148) Fixed Special:BlockIP for PostgreSQL +* Fixed SQLite support for non-memcached installations +* Localisation updates, Achinese (ace) added. + +== Changes since 1.13.0rc2 == + +* (bug 13770) Fixed incorrect detection of PHP's DOM module +* Fix regression from r37834: accesskey tooltip hint should be given for the + minor edit and watch labels on the edit page. +* Updated Chinese simplified/traditional conversion tables + +== Changes since 1.13.0rc1 == + +* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely.

Multiple reports of breakage due to old (pre-5.0) PCRE libraries, + both bundled with PHP and packaged with distros such as RHEL. +* (bug 14944) Shell invocation of external programs such as ImageMagick convert + was broken in PHP 5.2.6, if the server had a non-UTF-8 locale. + + +=== Configuration changes in 1.13 === + +* New option $wgFeed can be set false to turn off syndication feeds +* (bug 5745) Special:Whatlinkshere now shows up to $wgMaxRedirectLinksRetrieved + links through each redirect instead of hardcoded 500 +* Set $wgUploadSizeWarning to false by default +* Added $wgLBFactoryConf, for generic configuration of multi-master wiki farms +* Removed $wgAlternateMaster, use $wgLBFactoryConf +* (bug 13562) Misspelled option $wgUserNotifedOnAllChanges changed to + $wgUserNotifiedOnAllChanges +* (bug 12860) New option $wgSitemapNamespaces allows sitemaps to be generated + for only some namespaces +* Removed the emailconfirmed implicit group by default.

Or you can now use a local + database and use prefixes to separate wiki and the shared tables. And the new + $wgSharedTables variable allows you to specify a list of tables to share. +* Automatic edit summaries can be disabled with $wgUseAutomaticEditSummaries +* Duplicates of images are now shown on the image page +* $wgRCFilterByAge allows for the list of dates in recent changes special pages to + be filtered to only those within the range of $wgRCMaxAge +* $wgRCLinkLimits and $wgRCLinkDays allow for customization of the list and limits + displayed on the recent changes special pages +* The "createpage" permission is no longer required when uploading if the target + image page already exists +* $wgMaximumMovedPages restricts the number of pages that can be moved at once + (default 100) with the new subpage-move functionality of Special:Movepage +* Hooks display in Special:Version is now disabled by default, use + $wgSpecialVersionShowHooks = true; to enable it. +* $wgActiveUserEditCount sets the number of edits that must be performed over + a certain number of days to be considered active +* $wgActiveUserDays is that number of days +* $wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups has been deprecated in favor of + $wgGroupPermissions[]['noratelimit']. The former still works, however. +* New $wgGroupPermissions option 'move-subpages' added to control bulk-moving + subpages along with pages. Assigned to 'user' and 'sysop' by default. +* New $wgRC2UDPOmitBots allows user to omit bot edits from UDP output. + Default: false +* Removed $wgEnableCascadingProtection option.

For example, you could have "<ta" in +one template, and "ble>" in another template, and put them together to make a +valid <table> tag. Previously the result would have been "<table>". + +Uncovered preprocessor syntax is generally not recognised. For example, if you +have "{{a" in Template:A and "b}}" in Template:B, then "{{a}}{{b}}" will be +converted to a literal "{{ab}}" rather than the contents of Template:Ab. This +was the case previously in HTML output mode, and is now uniformly the case in +the other modes as well. HTML-style comments uncovered by template expansion +will not be recognised by the preprocessor and hence will not prevent template +expansion within them, but they will be stripped by the following HTML security +pass. + +Bug 5678 has been fixed. This has a number of user-visible effects related to +the removal of this double-parse. Please see the wiki page for examples. + +Message transformation mode has been removed, and replaced with "preprocess" +mode. This means that some MediaWiki namespace messages may need to be updated, +especially ones which took advantage of the terribly counterintuitive behaviour +of the former message mode. + +The header identification routines for section edit and for numbering section +edit links have been merged. This removes a significant failure mode and fixes a +whole category of bugs (tracked by bug #4899). Wikitext headings uncovered by +template expansion will still be rendered into a heading tag, and will get an +entry in the TOC, but will not have a section edit link. HTML-style headings +will also not have a section edit link. Valid wikitext headings present in the +template source text will get a template section edit link. This is a major +break from previous behaviour, but I believe the effects are almost entirely +beneficial. + +The main motivation for making these changes was performance. The new two-pass +preprocessor can skip "dead branches" in template expansion, such as unfollowed +#switch cases and unused defaults for template arguments. This provides a +significant performance improvement in template-heavy test cases taken from +Wikipedia. Parser function hooks can participate in this performance improvement +by using the new SFH_OBJECT_ARGS flag during registration. + +The pre-expand include size limit has been removed, since there's no efficient +way to calculate such a figure, and it would now be meaningless for performance +anyway. The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default +limit. + +The context in which XML-style extension tags are called has changed, so +extensions which make use of the parser state may need compatibility changes. + +The new preprocessor syntax has been documented in Backus-Naur Form at: + +http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF + +The ExpandTemplates extension now has the ability to generate an XML parse +tree from wikitext source.
