MediaWiki 1.17.0
2011-06-22

This is the first stable release of the MediaWiki 1.17 branch.

Summary of selected changes in 1.17
Selected changes since MediaWiki 1.16 that may be of interest:


 * A new installer has been introduced. It has a wizard-style interface which is  translated into many languages. Many shortcomings in the old installer were   addressed with this rewrite. Note that it is no longer required for the config   directory to be made writable by the webserver. Instead the generated   LocalSettings.php file is offered as a download, which you must then upload   to the wiki's base directory.


 * ResourceLoader, a new framework for delivering client-side resources such as  JavaScript and CSS, has been introduced. These resources are now delivered   through the new entry point script "load.php", instead of as static files    served directly by the web server. This allows minification, compression and   client-side caching to be used more effectively, which should provide a net   performance improvement for most users.


 * Category sorting has been improved.
 * Sorting is now case insensitive.
 * Sub-categories, pages and files can now be paged separately.
 * When several pages are given the same sort key, they sort by their    names instead of randomly.


 * The lowest supported version of PHP is now 5.2.3. If necessary, please  upgrade PHP prior to upgrading MediaWiki.

Changes since 1.17.0rc1

 * Fixed syntax error in generated LocalSettings.php when a non-default user  rights profile is chosen.
 * ( bug 29399 ) Fixed PostgreSQL installation when the DB user for installation   is the same as the one for web access.
 * ( bug 29233 ) Fixed failover for DB slave servers. When a DB slave went down,  an error was immediately shown to the user, instead of trying another slave.    Was broken since 1.17 beta 1.
 * ( bug 29278 ) Fixed PHP fatal error when attempting to add text to a page via a   redirect.
 * ( bug 29408 ) Fixed uploads of files with MIME types that aren't detected by   MediaWiki.

Changes since 1.17 beta 1

 * Fixed warning about missing file "password.js".
 * When installing on MySQL, don't attempt to create a new database user if the   same user is used for installation and web access.
 * Fixed SQL query errors in queries with table aliases.
 * ( bug 27891 ) Fixed the "chronology protector", broken since 1.17beta1, which   ensures that when database replication is used, the new version is seen by    the user immediately after they create or edit an article.
 * ( bug 28845 ) Allow PostgreSQL installation using a non-root user account which   has role creation abilities.
 * When installing on PostgreSQL and the install account is the same as the web  account, check to make sure that the account has suitable privileges in the    mediawiki schema.
 * ( bug 28172 ) Fixed error in PostgreSQL installation when creating the wiki   sysop account.
 * Fixed an issue with the Oracle installer in cases where the user is different   to the database name.
 * Added "unblockself" to the list of available rights.
 * In the installer, fixed the "user rights profile" option, it never worked.
 * ( bug 29117 ) Fixed Hebrew localisation of the installer.
 * ( bug 28840 ) Reduce the collateral damage caused by the fix for bug 28235 (XSS  on Internet Explorer 6 due to a file extension in the query string) by    reducing the number of URLs that are blocked, and by redirecting the request   to a safer URL where possible instead of blocking it.
 * ( bug 28812 ) Fixed documentation of API action=parse.
 * ( bug 28979 ) Fixed styling of &lt;abbr> and &lt;acronym>.
 * Fixed the error message displayed when you try to create an account by email,  but an email address is not given.
 * Fixed JS error due to missing dependency for jquery.suggestions.
 * Exposed $wgExtensionAssetsPath in JavaScript.
 * ( bug 28738 ) Made ResourceLoader support environments with small URL length   limits. The length limit can be configured via $wgResourceLoaderMaxQueryLength,   and this is set automatically in the generated LocalSettings.php when the    php.ini variable "suhosin.get.max_value_length" is set. When a URL exceeds    this limit, the request is split up. Also, reduced the average length of    load.php URLs by using a more compact parameter format.
 * ( bug 25262 ) Fix for minification of hardcoded data: URIs in CSS.
 * ( bug 25124 ) Respect $wgStyleDirectory in ResourceLoader.
 * Allow installation when no HTTP client is available, don't throw an exception.
 * ( bug 27465 ) Fix metadata extraction for SVG files using unusual namespace   names.
 * ( bug 29174 ) Fix regression in upload-by-URL: uploading files larger than the   PHP memory limit should work again.
 * Fixed the display of comments in the new user log.
 * ( bug 28237 ) When installing extensions using the web-based installer, create  any necessary database tables.
 * ( bug 28983 ) Fixed automated installation of extensions that overwrite $path.
 * Fixed error caused by missing magic words.
 * Fixed breakage of article editing in PostgreSQL due to text search  configuration errors.
 * Fixed the HTTPS client used when Curl is not available. This avoids an error  during install about failure of the mediawiki-announce subscription.
 * ( bug 28162 ) When installing to PostgreSQL, respect the "database port" input,  it was ignored.

1.17における設定の変更点

 * $wgLogAutocreatedAccounts controls whether autocreation of accounts is logged  to new users log.
 * ( bug 22858 ) $wgLocalStylePath is by default set to the same value as  $wgStylePath but should never point to a different domain than the site is   on, allowing skins to use .htc files which are not cross-domain friendly.
 * $wgFileStore has been deprecated. The only usage $wgFileStore ['deleted'] has  been turned into $wgDeletedDirectory.
 * $wgDeletedDirectory has been added to specify what directory to place deleted  uploads in.
 * IBM DB2 database no longer uses the db specific $wgDBport_db2 variable but the  normal $wgDBport.
 * $wgCategoryPrefixedDefaultSortkey was removed and is now always false. This   provides more sensible sorting behavior for categories.
 * Removed unused globals: $wgEnableSerializedMessages, $wgCheckSerialized ,  $wgUseMemCached , $wgDisableSearchContext , $wgColorErrors , $wgUseZhdaemon ,   $wgZhdaemonHost and $wgZhdaemonPort.
 * ( bug 24408 ) The include_path is not modified in the default LocalSettings.php
 * $wgVectorExtraStyles was removed, and is no longer in use.
 * Removed $wgUpdates for database updates; extensions should use  DatabaseUpdater::addExtensionUpdate via the LoadExtensionSchemaUpdates hook.
 * Removed $wgServerName . It doesn't need to be set anymore and is no longer  available as input for other configuration items, either.
 * It's no longer necessary for LocalSettings.php to include DefaultSettings.php.
 * It's no longer necessary to set $wgCacheEpoch to the file modification time  of LocalSettings.php, in LocalSettings.php itself. Instead, this is done   automatically if $wgInvalidateCacheOnLocalSettingsChange is true (which is   the default).
 * $wgCopyrightIcon is deprecated and $wgFooterIcons ['copyright']['copyright']   should be used instead.
 * $wgSysopUserBans is deprecated, and will be made permanently true in 1.18.  If you need this functionality, you should use the BlockIp hook to filter and   reject such blocks.
 * $wgSysopRangeBans is deprecated, you should set $wgBlockCIDRLimit to maximum  (32 for IPv4, 128 for IPv6), equivalent to allowing rangeblocks of only 1   address at a time.

互換性

アップグレード
1.17 has several database changes since 1.16, and will not work without schema updates.

If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise due to database schema changes.

If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure new database fields are filled with data.

If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!

See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.

For notes on 1.16.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
