+
+== MediaWiki 1.14 ==
+
+=== 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

+
+== MediaWiki 1.13 ==
+
+== Changes since 1.13.2 ==
+
+David Remahl of Apple's Product Security team has identified a number of
+security issues in previous releases of MediaWiki. 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. Documented setting since 1.4
+ has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
+* (bug 14907) DatabasePostgres::fieldType now defined.
+* (bug 14966) Fix SearchEngineDummy class for silently non-functional search
+ on Sqlite instead of horribly fatal error breaky one.
+* (bug 14987) Only fix double redirects on page move when the checkbox is
+ checked
+* (bug 13376) Use $wgPasswordSender, not $wgEmergencyContact, as return
+ address for page update notification mails.
+* API: Registration time of users registered before the DB field was created is now
+ shown as empty instead of the current time.
+* (bug 14904): fragments were lost when redirects were fixed.
+* Added magic word __STATICREDIRECT__ to suppress the redirect fixer
+* (bug 15035) Revert English linkTrail to /^([a-z]+)(.*)$/sD, as it was before
+ r36253. 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

+ $wgUserNotifiedOnAllChanges
+* (bug 12860) New option $wgSitemapNamespaces allows sitemaps to be generated

+* Removed the emailconfirmed implicit group by default. To re-add it, use:
+ $wgAutopromote['emailconfirmed'] = APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED;
+ in your LocalSettings.php.
+* (bug 2396) New shared database configuration variables. $wgSharedPrefix allows
+ you to use a shared database with a different prefix. 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

+ displayed on the recent changes special pages
+* The "createpage" permission is no longer required when uploading if the target

+ (default 100) with the new subpage-move functionality of Special:Movepage
+* Hooks display in Special:Version is now disabled by default, use

+ subpages along with pages. Assigned to 'user' and 'sysop' by default.
+* New $wgRC2UDPOmitBots allows user to omit bot edits from UDP output.
+ Default: false

+ provided by extensions, in a similar way to $wgExtensionMessagesFiles
+* Added $wgXMLMimeTypes, an array of XML mimetypes we can check for
+ with MimeMagic.
+* Added $wgDirectoryMode, which allows for setting the default CHMOD value when
+ creating new directories.
+* (bug 14843) $wgCookiePrefix can be set by LocalSettings now, false defaults

+* __HIDDENCAT__ on a category page causes the category to be hidden on the
+ article page

+
+== MediaWiki 1.12 ==
+
+This is the Winter 2007 quarterly release.
+
+MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
+quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
+"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
+
+Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
+from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
+will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
+
+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 1.12 ===
+* Marking edits as bot edits with Special:Contributions?bot=1 now requires the
+ markbotedit permission, rather than the rollback permission previously used.
+ This permission is assigned by default to the sysop group.
+* MediaWiki now checks if serialized files are out of date. New configuration
+ variable $wgCheckSerialized can be set to false to enable old behavior (i.e.
+ to not check and assume they are always up to date)
+* The rollback permission can now be rate-limited using the normal mechanism.
+* New configuration variable $wgExtraLanguageNames
+* Behaviour of $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups changed. New behaviour:
+* * Granting the userrights privilege allows arbitrary changing of rights.
+* * Without the userrights privilege, a user will be able to add and/or
+ remove the groups specified in $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups for
+ any groups they are in.
+* New permission userrights-interwiki for changing user rights on foreign wikis.
+* $wgImplicitGroups for groups that are hidden from Special:Listusers, etc.
+* $wgAutopromote: automatically promote users who match specified criteria
+* $wgGroupsAddToSelf, $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf: allow users to add or remove
+ themselves from specified groups via Special:Userrights.
+* When $wgUseTidy has been enabled, PHP's Tidy module is now used if it is
+ present, in preference to an external Tidy executable which may or may not
+ be present. To force use of external Tidy even when the PHP module is
+ available, set $wgTidyInternal to false.
+
+
+=== New features in 1.12 ===
+* (bug 10735) Add a warning for non-descriptive filenames at Special:Upload
+* Add {{filepath:}} parser function to get full path to an uploaded file,
+ complementing {{fullurl:}} for pages.

+* isValidEmailAddr hook added to User method of that name, to allow, e.g., re-
+ stricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain
+* Removed "Clear" link in watchlist editor tools, as people were afraid to
+ click it. Existing clear links will fall back to the raw editor, which is
+ very easy to clear your watchlist with.
+* (bug 1405) Add wgUseNPPatrol option to control patroling for new articles
+ on Special:Newpages
+* LogLine hook added to allow formatting custom entries in Special:Log.

+ fails
+ because it is part of a blocked range.
+* (bug 3973) Use a separate message for the email content when an account is
+ created by another user

+ makes no sense, and there should be no "Return to [[Page]]" link.
+* (bug 12486) Protected titles now give a warning for privileged editors.
+* (bug 9939) Special:Search now sets focus to search input box when no existing
+ search is active
+* For Special:Userrights, use GET instead of POST to search for users.
+* Allow subpage syntax for Special:Userrights, i.e., Special:Userrights/Name.

+* (bug 11897) Add alias [[Special:CreateAccount]] & [[Special:Userlogin/signup]]
+ for Special:Userlogin?type=signup
+* (bug 12214) Add a predefined list of delete reasons to the file deletion form
+* Merged backends for OpenSearch suggestions and AJAX search.

+ and the backend part can be overridden by the PrefixSearchBackend hook.
+* (bug 10365) Localization of Special:Version
+* When installing using Postgres, the Pl/Pgsql language is now checked for

+
+== Parser changes in 1.12 ==
+
+For help with migration to the MediaWiki 1.12 parser, please visit:
+
+http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_to_the_new_preprocessor
+
+The parser pass order has changed from
+
+ * Extension tag strip and render
+ * HTML normalisation and security
+ * Template expansion
+ * Main section...
+
+to
+
+ * Template and extension tag parse to intermediate representation
+ * Template expansion and extension rendering
+ * HTML normalisation and security
+ * Main section...
+
+The main effect of this for the user is that the rules for uncovered syntax
+have changed.
+
+Uncovered main-pass syntax, such as HTML tags, are now generally valid, whereas
+previously in some cases they were escaped. 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. This parse tree corresponds closely to the grammar
+documented on that page.

+== MediaWiki 1.11 ==
+
+This is the Summer 2007 branch release of MediaWiki.
+
+MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
+quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
+"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
+
+Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
+from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
+will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
+
+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 since 1.10 ==
+

+ used
+* $wgAddGroups, $wgRemoveGroups - Finer control over who can assign which
+ usergroups
+* $wgEnotifImpersonal, $wgEnotifUseJobQ - Bulk mail options for large sites
+* $wgShowHostnames - Expose server host names through the API and HTML comments
+* $wgSaveDeletedFiles has been removed, the feature is now enabled unconditionally

+* Introducing new image keyword 'upright' and corresponding variable
+ $wgThumbUpright. This allows better proportional view of upright images
+ related to landscape images on a page without nailing the width of upright
+ images to a fix value which makes views for anon unproportional and user
+ preferences useless
+* (bug 6072) Introducing 'border' keyword to the [[Image:]] syntax
+* Introducing 'frameless' keyword to [[Image:]] syntax which respects the
+ user preferences for image width like 'thumb' but without a frame.

+* (bug 8890) Enable wiki text for "license" message
+* Throw a showstopper exception when a hook function fails to return a value.
+ Forgetting to give a 'true' return value is a very common error which tends
+ to cause hard-to-track-down interactions between extensions.
+* Use $wgJobClasses to determine the correct Job to instantiate for a particular
+ queued task; allows extensions to introduce custom jobs
