Change notes from older releases. 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 <title> 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. 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
* (bug 15127) Work around minor display glitch in Opera.
* By default, reject file uploads that look like ZIP files, to avoid the
so-called GIFAR vulnerability.
* (bug 15141) Give ability to only list protected pages with the cascading
option enabled on Special:ProtectedPages
* (bug 15157) Special:Watchlist has the same options as Special:Watchlist:
Show/Hide logged in users, Show/Hide anonymous, Invert namespace selection
* Added hook 'UserrightsChangeableGroups' to allow modification of what
groups may be added or removed via the Special:UserRights interface.
* HTML entities like now work (are not escaped) in edit summaries.
* (bug 13815) In the comment for page moves, use the colon-separator message
instead of a hardcoded colon.
* Allow <gallery> to accept image names without an Image: prefix
* Add tooltips to rollback and undo links
* BMP images are now displayed as PNG
* (bug 13471) Added NUMBERINGROUP magic word
* (bug 11884) Now support Flash EXIF attribute
* Show thumbnails in the file history list, patch by User:Agbad
* Added support of piped wikilinks using double-width brackets
* Added an on-wiki external image whitelist. Items in this whitelist are
treated as regular expression fragments to match for when possibly
displaying an external image inline.
* (bugs 15405, 15436) Sort more currency types correctly in sortable tables
* (bug 15422) Sort more different types of numbers in sortable tables
* (bug 2889) MediaWiki:Print.css applies to the printable version
* Category counts (e.g. from {{PAGESINCATEGORY:}}) should be more accurate for
small categories
* After logging in, automatically redirect to wherever you logged in from
* (bug 5619) Break messages used in Special:Statistics down further

== 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.

in_array in User::isAllowed().

shown as empty instead of the current time.

* 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.
