Cette version est une version de sécurité et de maintenance de la branche 1.21 de MediaWiki

Changements depuis la version 1.21.0

 * $wgBug34832TransitionalRollback has been removed.
 * $wgUseDynamicDates has been removed and its functionality disabled.

New features

 * Add parser method to call parser functions.
 * Schema changes (adding or dropping tables, indices and fields) can be now be done separately from from other changes that update.php makes. This is useful in environments that use database  permissions to restrict schema changes but allow the DB user that  MediaWiki normally runs as to perform other changes that update.php  makes.  Schema changes can be run separately.  See the file UPGRADE  for more information.
 * jquery.makeCollapsible has been improved in performance.
 * Added ContentHandler facility to allow extensions to support other content than wikitext. See docs/contenthandler.txt for details.
 * New feature was developed for showing high-DPI thumbnails for high-DPI mobile and desktop displays (configurable with $wgResponsiveImages).
 * Added new backend to represent and store information about sites and site specific configuration.
 * jQuery upgraded from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3.
 * jQuery UI upgraded from 1.8.23 to 1.8.24.
 * Added separate fa_sha1 field to filearchive table. This allows sha1 searches with the api in miser mode for deleted files.
 * Add initial and programmatic sorting for tablesorter.
 * Add the event "sortEnd.tablesorter", triggered after sorting has completed.
 * The Job system was refactored to allow for different backing stores for queues as well as cross-wiki access to queues, among other things. The schema  for the DB queue was changed to support better concurrency and reduce  deadlock errors.
 * Added ApiQueryORM class to facilitate creation of query API modules based on tables that have a corresponding ORMTable class.
 * Icon for PSD (Adobe Photoshop) file types.
 * Implemented Special:Version/Credits with a list of contributors.
 * Implemented one-click AJAX patrolling.
 * The &lt;data&gt;, &lt;time&gt;, &lt;meta&gt;, and &lt;link&gt; elements are allowed within WikiText for use with Microdata.
 * The HTML5 &lt;mark&gt; tag has been whitelisted.
 * Added ParserCloned hook for when the Parser object is cloned.
 * Added AlternateEditPreview hook to allow extensions to replace the page preview from the edit page.
 * Added EditPage::showStandardInputs:options hook to allow extensions to add new fields to the "editOptions" area of the edit form.
 * Upload stash DB schema altered to improve upload performance.
 * The following global functions are now reporting deprecated warnings in debug mode: wfMsg, wfMsgNoTrans, wfMsgForContent, wfMsgForContentNoTrans,  wfMsgReal, wfMsgGetKey, wfMsgHtml, wfMsgWikiHtml, wfMsgExt, wfEmptyMsg. Use  the Message class, or the global method wfMessage.
 * Added $wgEnableCanonicalServerLink, off by default. If enabled, a &lt;link rel=canonical&gt; tag is added to every page indicating the correct server  to use.
 * Debug message emitted by wfDebugLog will now be prefixed with the group name when its logged to the default log file. That is the case whenever the  group has no key in wgDebugLogGroups, that will help triage the default log.
 * Add types to LogFormatter.
 * jQuery JSON upgraded from 2.3 to 2.4.0.
 * Added GetDoubleUnderscoreIDs hook, for modifying the list of magic words.
 * DatabaseUpdater class has two new methods to ease extensions schema changes: dropExtensionIndex and renameExtensionIndex.
 * New preference type - 'api'. Preferences of this type are not shown on Special:Preferences, but are still available via the action=options API.
 * Hide rollback link if a user is the only contributor of the page.
 * $wgPageInfoTransclusionLimit limits the list size of transcluded articles on the info action. Default is 50.
 * Added action=createaccount to allow user account creation.
 * action=options API also allows for setting of arbitrary preferences, provided that their names are prefixed with 'userjs-'. This  officially reenables the feature that was undocumented and defective  in MW 1.20 (saving preferences using Special:Preferences cleared any  additional fields) and which has been disabled in 1.20.1 as a part of  a security fix.
 * Added option to specify "others" as author in extension credits using "..." as author name.
 * Added the ability to limit the wall clock time used by shell processes, as well as the CPU time. Configurable with $wgMaxShellWallClockTime.
 * Allow memory of shell subprocesses to be limited using Linux cgroups instead of ulimit -v, which tends to cause deadlocks in recent versions  of ImageMagick. Configurable with $wgShellCgroup.
 * Added $wgWhitelistReadRegexp for regex whitelisting.
 * Categories that are redirects will be displayed italic in the category links section at the bottom of a page.
 * New maintenance script deleteEqualMessages.php.
 * You can now create checkbox option matrices through the HTMLCheckMatrix subclass in HTMLForm.
 * WikiText now permits the use of WAI-ARIA's role="presentation" inside of html elements and tables. This allows presentational markup, especially  tables. To be marked up as such.
 * maintenance/sql.php learned the --cluster option. Let you run the script on some external cluster instead of the primary cluster for a given wiki.
 * test the parsing of inline URLs.
 * Added Special:PagesWithProp, which lists pages using a particular page property.
 * Implemented language-specific collations for category sorting for 67 languages based in latin, greek and cyrillic alphabets. This allows one to *finally* get  articles to be correctly sorted on category pages. They are named  'uca-&lt;langcode&gt;', where &lt;langcode&gt; is one of: af, ast, az, be, bg, br, bs, ca,  co, cs, cy, da, de, dsb, el, en, eo, es, et, eu, fi, fo, fr, fur, fy, ga, gd,  gl, hr, hsb, hu, is, it, kk, kl, ku, ky, la, lb, lt, lv, mk, mo, mt, nl, no,  oc, pl, pt, rm, ro, ru, rup, sco, sk, sl, smn, sq, sr, sv, tk, tl, tr, tt, uk,  uz, vi.
 * Added 'CategoryAfterPageAdded' and 'CategoryAfterPageRemoved' hooks.
 * Added 'HistoryRevisionTools' and 'DiffRevisionTools' hooks.
 * Added 'SpecialSearchResultsPrepend' and 'SpecialSearchResultsAppend' hooks.
 * Add image rotation api "imagerotate"
 * Add "User rights management" link on user page toolbox.
 * Add QUnit assertion helper "QUnit.assert.htmlEqual" for asserting structual equality of HTML (ignoring insignificant differences like  quotmarks, order and whitespace in the attribute list).

Parameter  $CHANGEDORCREATED is deprecated in 'enotif_body' and scheduled for removal in  MediaWiki 1.23.
 * In the sidebar of Vector, CologneBlue, Monobook, and Monobook-based skins, the heading levels have been changed from (variously per skin)  &lt;h4&gt;, &lt;h5&gt; or &lt;h6&gt; to only &lt;h3&gt;s, with a &lt;h2&gt; hidden heading above them.

API changes

 * BREAKING CHANGE
 * Chunked uploads are now disabled by default. You can re-enable them by setting $wgAllowChunkedUploads=true


 * BREAKING CHANGE
 * list=logevents output format changed for details of some log types. Specifically, details that were formerly reported under a key like "4::foo" will now be reported under a key of simply "foo".


 * BREAKING CHANGE
 * '??_badcontinue' error code was changed to '??badcontinue' for all query modules.


 * prop=revisions can now report the contentmodel and contentformat. See docs/contenthandler.txt.
 * action=edit and action=parse now support contentmodel and contentformat parameters to control the interpretation of page content. See docs/contenthandler.txt for details.
 * ApiQueryImageInfo now suppresses errors when unserializing metadata.
 * Disable minor edit for page/section creation by API.
 * Revert change to action=parse&page=... behavior when the page does not exist.
 * Add timestamp sort to list=allimages.
 * Don't return the sha1 of revisions through the API if the content is revision-deleted.
 * ApiQueryImageInfo now also returns imageinfo for redirects.
 * list=alltransclusions added to enumerate every instance of page embedding
 * list=alllinks & alltransclusions now allow both 'from' and 'continue' in the same query. When both are present, 'from' is simply ignored.
 * list=alllinks & alltransclusions now allow 'unique' in generators, to yield a list of all link/template target pages instead of source pages.
 * ApiQueryBase adds 'badcontinue' error code if module has 'continue' parameter.
 * Removed version parameter and all getVersion methods.
 * action=options now takes a "resetkinds" option, which allows only resetting certain types of preferences when the "reset" option is set.
 * ApiQueryImageInfo now returns imageinfo for the redirect target when queried with &redirects=.
 * ApiQueryImageInfo no longer gets confused when asked for info on a redirect and its target.
 * ApiQueryImageInfo no longer throws exceptions with ForeignDBRepo redirects.
 * On error, any warnings generated before that error will be shown in the result.
 * action=help supports generalized submodules (modules=query+value), querymodules obsolete
 * ApiQueryImageInfo continuation is more reliable. The only major change is that the imagerepository property will no longer be set on page objects not processed in the current query (i.e. non-images or those skipped due to iicontinue).
 * Add supports for all pageset capabilities - generators, redirects, converttitles to action=purge and action=setnotificationtimestamp.
 * prop=pageprops&ppprop= now accepts multiple props to query.
 * ApiQueryImageInfo will now limit the number of calls to File::transform made in any one query. If there are too many, iicontinue will be returned.
 * action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general will now return the regexes used for link trails and link prefixes. Added for Parsoid support.
 * Added an API query module list=pageswithprop, which lists pages using a particular page property.
 * Added an API query module list=pagepropnames, which lists all page prop names currently in use on the wiki.

 * action=upload works correctly if the entire file is uploaded in the first chunk.
 * Added 'continue=' parameter to streamline client iteration over complex query results
 * API parameters may now be marked as type "upload", which is now used for action=upload's 'file' and 'chunk' parameters. This type will raise an error during parameter validation if the parameter is given but not recognized as an uploaded file.
 * prop=info may now return the number of people watching each page.
 * list=allpages will no longer return duplicate entries when querying protection.
 * list=allpages will now find really old indefinite protections.
 * meta=allmessages will report a syntactically invalid lang as a proper error instead of as an uncaught exception.
 * SpecialStatistics::getOtherStats now uses the user language.

API internal changes

 * BREAKING CHANGE
 * ApiPageSet constructor now has two params instead of three, with only the first one keeping its meaning. ApiPageSet is now derived from ApiBase.


 * BREAKING CHANGE
 * ApiQuery::newGenerator and executeGeneratorModule were deleted.


 * For debugging only, a new global $wgDebugAPI removes many API restrictions when true. Never use on the production servers, as this flag introduces security holes. Whenever enabled, a warning will also be added to all output.
 * ApiModuleManager now handles all submodules (actions,props,lists) and instantiation
 * Query stores prop/list/meta as submodules
 * ApiPageSet can now be used in any action to process titles/pageids/revids or any generator.

 * $wgAPIGeneratorModules is now obsolete and will be ignored.
 * Added flags ApiResult::OVERRIDE and ADD_ON_TOP to setElement and addValue
 * Internal API calls will now include &lt;warnings&gt; in case of unused parameters

Languages updated
MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.


 * South Azerbaijani (azb) added.
 * Autonym for nds-nl is now 'Nedersaksies' (was 'Nedersaksisch').
 * Autonym for pi (Pali) is now 'पालि' (was 'पाळि').
 * Now formatted numbers in Spanish use space as separator for thousands, as mandated by the Real Academia Española.
 * Kurdish formatted numbers now use period and comma as separators for thousands and decimals respectively.

Other changes

 * Experimental IBM DB2 support was removed due to lack of interest and maintainership.
 * BREAKING CHANGE
 * Removed the jquery.collapsibleTabs module and moved it to the Vector extension. It was entirely Vector-extension-specific, deeply interconnected with the extension, and this functionality really belongs to the extension instead of the skin anyway. In the unlikely case you were using it, you have to either copy it to your extension, or install the Vector extension (and possibly disable its features using config settings if you don't want them).


 * BREAKING CHANGE
 * Filenames of maintenance scripts were standardized into lowerCamelCase format, and made more explicit:
 * clear_stats.php &rarr; clearCacheStats.php
 * clear_interwiki_cache.php &rarr; clearInterwikiCache.php
 * initStats.php &rarr; initSiteStats.php
 * proxy_check.php &rarr; proxyCheck.php
 * stats.php &rarr; showCacheStats.php
 * showStats.php &rarr; showSiteStats.php.
 * Class names were renamed accordingly:
 * clear_stats &rarr; ClearCacheStats
 * InitStats &rarr; InitSiteStats
 * CacheStats &rarr; ShowCacheStats
 * ShowStats &rarr; ShowSiteStats.


 * BREAKING CHANGE
 * Removed the mediawiki.api.titleblacklist module and moved it to the TitleBlacklist extension.

Compatibility
MediaWiki 1.21 requires PHP 5.3.2 or later.

MySQL 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.

The supported versions are:


 * MySQL 5.0.2 or later
 * PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
 * SQLite 3.3.7 or later
 * Oracle 9.0.1 or later

Upgrading
1.21 has several database changes since 1.20, 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 quite long (minutes on a medium sized site, many hours on a large site).

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, you should upgrade to 1.5 first. The upgrade script maintenance/upgrade1_5.php has been removed with MediaWiki 1.21.

Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!

See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.

For notes on 1.19.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
