-== MediaWiki 1.30 ==
-
-THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
-
-MediaWiki 1.30 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in
-production.
-
-=== 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.
-* (T172315) $wgOOUIEditPage was removed, OOUI is the only display option for
the
- edit interface.
-* (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 ====

-* wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin updated to 1.4.1.

- (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 ===

- 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.

-* (T163966) Page moves are now counted as edits for the purposes of
- autopromotion, i.e., they increment the user_editcount field in the database.

- $data['attribs'] subarray.
-* (T130632) The OutputPage::enableTOC() method was removed.
-* WikiPage::getParserOutput() will now throw an exception if passed

- escapeIdForLink().

-
-== Compatibility ==
-MediaWiki 1.30 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. There is experimental support for
-HHVM 3.6.5 or later.
-
-MySQL/MariaDB 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 5.5.8 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 ==
-1.30 has several database changes since 1.29, 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 a long time (minutes on a medium sized site,
-many hours on a large site).
-
-Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
-
-See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
-important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
-
-For notes on 1.29.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
-
-== Online documentation ==
-Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
-MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
-for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):
-
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Documentation
-
-== Mailing list ==
-A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:
-
- https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
-
-A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
-
- 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.
-
-== IRC help ==
-There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net.
