Validator change log

Validator 0.4.13

(2011-11-30)

• ParserHook::$parser now is a reference to the original parser object, as one would suspect. Before this has only been the case for tag extension but not for parser function calls.

• if SFH_OBJECT_ARGS and therefore object parser function arguments are available in the MW version used with Validator, ParserHook::$frame will not be null anymore. Therefore a new function ParserHook::renderFunctionObj() is introduced, handling these SFH_OBJECT_ARGS hooks.

• ParserHook class constructor now accepts a bitfield for flags to define further customization for registered Hooks. First option can be set via ParserHook::FH_NO_HASH to define that the function hook hould be callable without leading hash ( {{plural:...}} -like style).

• Option for unnamed parameter handling to work without named fallback. This allows to ignore = within parameter values entirely, these parameters bust be set before any named parameter then. See Validator::setFunctionParams() and ParserHook::getParameterInfo() for details.

• ParserHook Validation messages will now output text in global content language instead of users interface language.
