Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
-== MediaWiki 1.9.3 ==
+== MediaWiki 1.10.0 ==
-February 20, 2007
+May 9, 2007
-This is a security and bug-fix update to the Winter 2007 quarterly release.
-Minor compatibility fixes for IIS and PostgreSQL are included.
+This is the quarterly release snapshot for Spring 2007. See below for a full
+list of changes since the 1.9.x series.
-An XSS injection vulnerability based on Microsoft Internet Explorer's UTF-7
-charset autodetection was located in the AJAX support module, affecting MSIE
-users on MediaWiki 1.6.x and up when the optional setting $wgUseAjax is
-enabled.
+Changes since 1.10.0rc2:
-If you are using an extension based on the optional Ajax module,
-either disable it or upgrade to a version containing the fix:
+* (bug 9808) Fix regression that ignored user 'rclimit' option for Special:Contributions
-* 1.9: fixed in 1.9.3
-* 1.8: fixed in 1.8.4
-* 1.7: fixed in 1.7.3
-* 1.6: fixed in 1.6.10
-There is no known danger in the default configuration, with $wgUseAjax off.
+== MediaWiki 1.10.0rc2 ==
-* (bug 8992) Fix a remaining raw use of REQUEST_URI in history
-* (bug 8984) Fix a database error in Special:Recentchangeslinked
- when using the PostgreSQL database.
-* Add 'charset' to Content-Type headers on various HTTP error responses
- to forestall additional UTF-7-autodetect XSS issues. PHP sends only
- 'text/html' by default when the script didn't specify more details,
- which some inconsiderate browsers consider a license to autodetect
- the deadly, hard-to-escape UTF-7.
- This fixes an issue with the Ajax interface error message on MSIE when
- $wgUseAjax is enabled (not default configuration); this UTF-7 variant
- on a previously fixed attack vector was discovered by Moshe BA from BugSec:
- http://www.bugsec.com/articles.php?Security=24
-* Trackback responses now specify XML content type
-
-
-== MediaWiki 1.9.2 ==
+May 4, 2007
-February 4, 2007
+THIS IS A RELEASE CANDIDATE MADE AVAILABLE FOR TESTING!
+A FINAL 1.10.0 RELEASE WILL APPEAR WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
-This is a bug-fix update that fixes some installation and other minor
-issues with the 1.9.1 release as well as a security issue which was
-introduced in the 1.9 branch.
+Changes since 1.10.0rc1:
+* Various l10n fixes and updates
+* Fix for upgrade of page_restrictions table
+* (bug 9780) Fix normalization of titles with initial colon followed by whitespace
+* Fix for regression in upload: wrong size info saved into image table
+* Avoid cyclic stub problems when authorization hooks do funny things with
+ the user and the database at load time
-JavaScript code which regenerated the "sortable tables" feature did
-not properly sanitize input, leading to an HTML injection vulnerability.

-January 10, 2007
-
-This is the quarterly release snapshot for Winter 2007. While the code
-has been running on Wikipedia for some time, installation and upgrade
-bits may be less well tested. Bug fix releases may follow in the coming
-days or weeks.
-
+THIS IS A RELEASE CANDIDATE MADE AVAILABLE FOR TESTING!
+A FINAL 1.10.0 RELEASE WILL APPEAR WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
-from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature development happen
+from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
-
-== Security fixes ==
-
-An XSS injection vulnerability was located in the AJAX support module,
-affecting MediaWiki 1.6.x and up when the optional setting $wgUseAjax
-is enabled.
-
-There is no danger in the default configuration, with $wgUseAjax off.
-
-If you are using an extension based on the optional Ajax module,
-either disable it or upgrade to a version containing the fix:
-
-* 1.9: fixed in 1.9.0rc2
-* 1.8: fixed in 1.8.3
-* 1.7: fixed in 1.7.2
-* 1.6: fixed in 1.6.9
-
-
-== Compatibility changes ==
-
-=== Zend Optimizer ===
-
-A bug in some versions of PHP 5 and Zend Optimizer which was triggered under
-MediaWiki 1.8.x has been worked around by disabling some internal debugging
-features when Zend Optimizer is loaded. This should solve some common
-"blank page" problems.
-
-=== PHP 5.0 64-bit ===
-
-MediaWiki now checks for a condition where PHP 5.0.x corrupts array data
-on 64-bit systems and warns you to upgrade PHP to solve the problem. This
-bug causes Special: pages to fail on affected systems under MediaWiki 1.8
-and higher, and subtler data corruption on earlier versions.
-
-The only known workaround is to upgrade PHP to 5.1 or later, which you
-probably should do anyway for security reasons!
-
-=== MySQL 5 ===
-
-MediaWiki should now install and run correctly on MySQL 5.0 and higher when
-MySQL's "strict mode" is enabled. (This is now the default for many Windows
-installations, though it seems to remain off by default on Unix.)
-
-This fixes errors about "cannot default default value for BLOB/TEXT fields".
-
-=== ImageMagick ===
-
-Note that ImageMagick older than 6.x may no longer work for image resizing
-due to use of the -thumbnail option.
-
-
-== Behavior changes ==
-
-=== Localized special pages ===
-
-The names of Special: pages can now be localized, so links and URLs to them
-are more legible in languages that aren't English.
-
-Not all languages have included localized names yet.
-
-=== E-mail password ===
-
-Users are now required to set a new password for themselves when they first
-log in with a newly generated e-mailed password.
-
-Requesting passwords frequently is prevented to reduce abusive mailbombing.
-
-=== Undo revision ===
-
-An "undo" link now appears in diff view for easier reverting of older edits.
-When GNU diff3 is available for edit conflict merging, this can make it much
-easier to "undo" the changes of an older edit when there are surrounding
-changes elsewhere in the page.
-
-The changes must be manually reviewed and approved, as with conventional
-full-revision reverts.
-
-=== Blocking ===
-
-User blocks can be set to disable the automatic blocking of IP addresses the
-account logs in with.
-
-
-== Database changes ==
-
-* new 'redirect' table stores data on page redirects
-* new 'querycachetwo' table used for some cached special pages
-* 'ipblocks' table adds 'ipb_enable_autoblock'
-* 'recentchanges' table adds 'rc_old_len', 'rc_new_len' for size tracking
-* 'user' table has added 'user_newpass_time' and 'user_editcount' fields
-* some indexes have been updated on 'recentchanges'
-
-
== Configuration changes ==
-Several configuration options have changed since 1.8:
-
-=== $wgEnableAPI ===
-
-The experimental machine API interface is now enabled by default, read-only.
-You can disable it by setting $wgEnableAPI = false; in LocalSettings.php.
-
-=== $wgPathInfo ===
-
-The use of PATH_INFO (the text after the script name in 'index.php/Blah')
-is controlled by the $wgUsePathInfo setting. This is now explicitly disabled
-for CGI, apache2filter, and ISAPI configurations of PHP, for more consistency
-with the autodetection from the installer.
-
-In some rarer configurations you may have to switch $wgUsePathInfo from false
-to true or, perhaps, from true to false to make things work properly if bad
-PATH_INFO data comes through the server.
-
-The wiki now tries to detect this condition and should show you an error
-message describing what to change instead of sending the browser into an
-infinite redirect loop.
-
-=== $wgScript and other path settings ===
-
-The following configuration variables are now automatically set in Setup.php
-if they are not overridden in LocalSettings.php:
-
-from $wgScriptPath:
- + $wgScript
- | \- $wgArticlePath
- + $wgRedirectScript
- + $wgStylePath
- + $wgUploadPath
- \- $wgLogo
- + $wgMathPath
-
-from $IP:
- - $wgStyleDirectory
- + $wgUploadDirectory
- \- $wgMathDirectory
- + $wgTmpDirectory
- + $wgReadOnlyFile
- + $wgFileCacheDirectory
-
-Newly generated configuration files will by default include only $wgScriptPath
-(hardcoded from the installer) and $IP (detected at runtime).
-
-Old configuration files which specify all these values explicitly should
-continue to work just fine, but if you use the defaults you can remove them
-to reduce clutter.
-
-=== $wgGroupPermissions ===
-
-The sysop group now holds the "autopatrol" and "ipblock-exempt" rights by
-default.
-
-"autopatrol" replaces the preference for marking ones own edits patrolled
-by default; users holding this permission will automatically have their
-edits patrolled, while others cannot mark their own edits as patrolled
-even if they have patrolling rights.
-
-"ipblock-exempt" excludes the user from IP blocks; accounts which are blocked
-explicitly by name will still be blocked, however. This is given to sysops
-to minimize annoyance from accidental "collateral damage"; remember that a
-sysop will be able to lift the block if they desire.
-
-The bot group now holds the "nominornewtalk" right. A user with this right
-will not trigger new message notifications when making minor edits to user
-talk pages. This is meant to minimize annoyance from maintenance bot
-processes.
-
-=== $wgUseWatchlistCache ===
-
-Watchlist caching has been removed. The feature was not maintained, and has
-been unnecessary since switching to the 'recentchanges' database table
-reduced server pressure for Wikipedia's watchlists.
-
-=== $wgBreakFrames ===
-
-MediaWiki in the past attempted to detect when it was embedded in a frameset
-and "break out" of it, assuming it to be hostile.
-
-This behavior is now disabled by default, but can be reenabled by setting
-$wgBreakFrames to true in LocalSettings.php.
-
-
-== New settings ==
-
-=== $wgVariantArticlePath ===
-
-For languages with script variant support (Chinese, Serbian, and others),
-it's possible to use alternate URL paths to select the variant for article
-display, setting $wgVariantArticlePath.
-
-Documentation for this setting would be useful.
-
-=== $wgMaxMsgCacheEntrySize ===
-
-The message cache can now skip items larger than a given size; this allows
-it to better handle the primary caching case when large CSS and JS blobs are
-present.
-
-=== $wgStyleVersion ===
-
-When making significant changes to skin stylesheets and JavaScript files,
-you can append a string to this variable to tweak the generated URLs,
-forcing newly rendered pages to bring in a fresh version despite server-
-or browser-side caching.
-
-Normally this will be set in the course of MediaWiki development, but
-if doing development on a custom skin you may wish to poke it as well.
-
-=== $wgRCShowChangedSize ===
-
-Special:Recentchanges and Special:Watchlist now show the number of bytes
-added or removed to an article to give an idea of the size of the edit.
-This information was previously available only in the IRC update feeds.
-
-To disable this site-wide, set $wgRCShowChangedSize to false.
-(Individual users can suppress the data in custom CSS.)
-
-Adjust $wgRCChangedSizeThreshold to trigger highlighting of particularly
-large changes.
-
-The formatting of the size figure can be adjusted through the
-[[MediaWiki:Rc-change-size]] message.
-
-=== $wgQueryCacheLimit ===
-
-The number of rows stored for "expensive" special pages in miser mode
-can now be adjusted up or down from the default 1000.
-
-=== $wgDisableQueryPageUpdate ===
-
-Individual "expensive" special pages can be skipped in processing by
-updateSpecialPages if added to this list.
-
-=== $wgSorbsUrl ===
-
-The base hostname for the DNS-based proxy blacklist can now be overridden
-when $wgEnableSorbs is set, to use a different blacklist instead of SORBS.
-The blacklist would need to respond the same was as SORBS; any positive
-response will be taken as a proxy.
-
-=== $wgAjaxWatch ===
-
-Experimental AJAX mode for the watch/unwatch tabs to execute inline.
-Does not include the UI messages describing how to reach the watchlist,
-so you may not want it on a general-audience site just yet.
-
-=== $wgParserTestFiles ===
-
-MediaWiki's parser test suite can now be expanded with additional test
-files. Custom extensions can add their test files to this array, and
-they will be run along with the main tests by maintenance/parserTests.php
-
-

- any added or removed templates, and works as expected for section edits.
-* (bug 7919) "Templates used on this page" is now shown for read-only pages.

-* (bug 2001) Tables with class="sortable" can now be dynamically sorted via
- JavaScript.
-* Added autosummary for new pages with 500 or less characters, and refactor
- the autosummary code so it's all done in one function. doEdit is getting too
- big!
-* (bug 7554) The correct MIME type for SVG images is now displayed on the
- image page (image/svg+xml, not image/svg).
-* (bug 7883) Added autoblock whitelisting feature, using which specific ranges

-* (bug 8009) Automatic edit summary for redirects is not filled for edits in existing pages
-* Installer support for experimental MySQL 4.1/5.0 binary-safe schema
-* Use INSERT IGNORE for db-based BagOStuff add/insert, for more memcache-like
- behavior when keys already exist on add (instead of dying with an error...)
-* Add a hook 'UploadForm:initial' before the upload form is generated, and two
- member variable for text injection into the form, which can be filled by the hooks.
-* (bug 6295) Add a "revision patching" functionality, where an edit can be undone
- (with a functionality similar to diff rev1 rev2 | patch -R rev3 -o rev3).
- This is triggered by including &undo=revid in an edit URL. A link to a URL
- that will undo a given edit is shown on NEW revision headers on diff pages.
- The link leads to a "Show Changes" page showing what will be done to undo the
- edit.
-* Fix display of link in "already rolled back" message for image/category pages
-* (bug 6016) Left-aligned images should stack vertically, like right-aligned
- images, not horizontally.
-* Patch from LeonWP: added UploadForm:BeforeProcessing hook in SpecialUpload.php
-* Add AuthPluginSetup hook to override $wgAuth after configuration
-* Fix regression in authentication hook auto-creation on login
-* (bug 8110) Allow spaces in ISBNs
-* (bug 8024) Introduce "send me copies of emails I send to others" preference
-* Added 'EditPage::attemptSave' hook before an article is saved.
-* (bug 8083) Applied patch for sk localisation
-* Add a backslash character to the edit token, to prevent edits via certain
- broken proxies that mangle such characters in form submissions
-* (bug 7461) Allow overwriting pages using importTextFile.php
-* (bug 7946) importTextFile.php doesn't perform pre-save transform
-* (bug 8117) {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} showed weird default if $wgLocalTZoffset set;
- now uses current time for previews and if timestamp can't be loaded from DB
-* {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} now uses site local timezone instead of user timezone
- to ensure consistent behavior
-* {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} and friends should now work on non-MySQL backends
-* (bug 7671) Observe canonical media namespace prefix in Linker::formatComment
-* Added js variable wgCurRevisionId to the output
-* (bug 8141) Cleanup of Parser::doTableStuff, patch by AzaTht
-* (bug 8042) Make miser mode caching limits settable via $wgQueryCacheLimit
- instead of hardcoding to 1000
-* Enable QueryPage classes to override list formatting
-* (bug 5485) Show number of intervening revisions in diff view
-* (bug 8100) Fix XHTML validity in Taiwanese localization
-* Added redirect to section feature. Use it wisely.
-* Added a configuration variable allowing the "break out of framesets" feature
- to be switched on and off ($wgBreakFrames). Off by default.
-* Allow Xml::check() $attribs parameter to override 'value' attribute
-* DB schema change: added two columns (rc_old_len and rc_new_len) to the recentchanges table to store
- the text lengths before and after the edit
-* (bug 1085) Made Special:Recentchanges show the character difference between the changed revisions
-* Removed a redundant <strong> tag from diff pages that was causing display issues for some users
-* (bug 8203) The keyboard shortcut for "log out" was removed, because users were pressing it
- when they intended to press the shortcut for "preview".
-* (bug 8148) Handle non-removable output buffers gracefully when cleaning
- buffers for HTTP 304 responses, StreamFile, and Special:Export.
- Duplicated code merged into wfResetOutputBuffers() and wfClearOutputBuffers()
-* Special:AllPages : 'next page' link now point to the first title of the next
- chunk instead of pointing to the last title of current chunk.
-* (bug 4673) Special:AllPages : add a 'previous' link (new message 'prevpage')
-* (bug 8121) wfRandom() was not between 0 and 1
-* Add static method Parser::createAssocArgs($args), so parser functions can
- use the same code to parse arguments as the templates do.
-* Change behavior of logins using the temporary e-mailed password (as stored
- in user_newpassword hash field). Instead of just logging in silently and
- leaving the previous user_password field in place indefinitely, the user
- is now prompted to set a new password.
-
- The password-changing form is at Special:Resetpass; currently it's only
- usable for changing from the temporary password during login, but it
- could perhaps be generalized, replacing the subform in preferences.
-
- Once the new password is set successfully, the temporary password is wiped
- so it cannot be used to login a second time, and the login process
- is completed.
-* Suppress 'mail new password' button on login form if $wgAuth forbids
- changing user passwords; it wouldn't work very well...
-* Consolidate password length checks and $wgAuth manipulation into
- User::setPassword() to avoid duplicate code in different places
- that set passwords.
-* User::setPassword() now throws PasswordError exceptions if the password
- is illegal or cannot be set via $wgAuth. These can be caught and a human-
- readable error message displayed by UI code.
-* Added Title::isSubpage()
-* (bug 8241) Don't consider user pages of User:Foo.css to be CSS subpages
-* Set an explicit class on framed thumbnail inner divs and images, changed some
- CSS to use these instead of using descendent selectors.
-* Accept null parameter to User::setPassword() as indicating the password
- field should be cleared to an unusable state. Login will only be possible
- after the password is reset, for instance by e-mail.
-* (bug 6394) Invalidate the password set for "by e-mail" account creations
- to avoid accidental empty password creations.
-* Made the show change size function work on page moves, page creations, and
- log entries. Also fixed it in the javascript recentchanges.
-* (bug 8239) correctly get 50 new contributions when clicking '(50 next)'
-* (bug 2259) Fix old regression where e-mail addresses were no longer
- confirmed on login with mailed password.
-* Add a notification about the confirmation mail sent during account
- creation, so people don't immediately go off to request a second one.
-* Add a warning on Special:Confirmemail if a code was already sent and has
- not yet expired.
-* Add user_editcount field to provide data for heuristics on account use.
- Incremented on edit, with lazy initialization from past revision data.
- Can batch-initialize with maintenance/initEditCount.php (not yet friendly
- to replication environments, this will do all accounts in one query).
-* Allow raw SQL subsections in Database::update() SET portion as well as
- for WHERE portion. Handy for increments and such.
-* User::getOption now accept a default value to override default user values
- this makes it consistent with WebRequest::get* methods. Corrected code in
- various places accordingly.
-* (bug 8264) Fix JavaScript global vars for XHTML mode
-* Make $wgSiteNotice value wikitext again, for consistency with editable
- MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice.
-* (bug 8044) When redirecting from the canonical name of the special page
- to the localised one, parameters/subpages are omitted
-* (bug 8164) Special:Booksources should use GET for form submission
-* Rewrite Special:Booksources to clean up interface and remove redundant code
-* (bug 7925) Change Special:Allmessages message name filter javascript to be
- a bit more responsive and easier on the CPU
-* (bug 4488) Support watching pages on deletion; introduces new user preference
-* Minor restructuring of Special:Preferences; "watch pages I edit" and "watch
- pages I create" options now accessible under "Watchlist" options
-* (bug 8153) <nowiki> doesn't work in site notice
-* (bug 6690) wfMsgNoTrans() transforms messages
-* (bug 8274) Wrap edit tools in a <div> with a specified class
-* Detect PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug and abort in WebStart.php; too many things break
- mysteriously otherwise (detection code copied from install-utils.inc)
-* (bug 8295) Change handling of <center> tags in doBlockLevels() to match that
- of <div>
-* (bug 8110) Make magic ISBN linking stricter: only match ten-digit sequences
- (plus optional ISBN-13 prefix) with no immediately following alphanumeric
- character, disallow multiple consecutive internal redirects
-* (bug 2785) Accept optional colon prefix in links when formatting comments
-* Don't show "you can view and copy the source of this page" message for
- pages which don't exist
-* (bug 8310) Blank line added to top of 'post' when page is blank
-* (bug 8109) Template parameters ignored in "recentchangestext"
-* Gracefully skip redirect-to-fragment on WebKit versions less than 420;
- it messes up on current versions of Safari but is ok in the latest
- nightlies. Checking the version number will allow it to automatically
- work when new releases of Safari appear.
-* Fix regression in thumb styles; size and padding didn't match with
- new arrangement.
-* (bug 8333) Fix quick user data update on login password change on
- replication database setups. User data is now pulled from master
- instead of slave in User::loadFromDatabase, ensuring that it is
- fresh and accurate when read and then saved back into cache.
- This was breaking with the Special:Rename operation which
- automatically logs the user in with the new password after changing
- it; pulling from slave meant the record was often not the updated
- one.
-* (bug 8335) Set image width to the first valid parameter found.
-* (bug 8350) Fix watchlist viewing bug when using Postgres.
-* (bug 6603) When warning about invalid file extensions, output the bit
- of the extension we actually checked
-* (bug 7669) Drop defaults on BLOB/TEXT columns for better compatibility
- with MySQL's strict mode, often enabled by the Windows installer.
- The defaults are ignored anyway when strict mode is off...
-* (bug 7685) Use explicit values for ar_text and ar_flags when deleting,
- for better compatibility with MySQL's strict mode
-* Update default interwiki values to reflect changed location of ursine:
-* (bug 5411) Remove autopatrol preference
-* Users who have the "autopatrol" permission will have their edits marked as
- patrolled automatically
-* Users who do not have the "autopatrol" permission will no longer be able
- to mark their own edits as patrolled
-* Introduce 'PingLimiter' hook; see docs/hooks.txt for more information
-* (bug 532) Tweaked alt text for some interface messages
-* (bug 8231) Gave useful alt text to the main <img> on image pages
-* (bug 371) Remove alt text for "Enlarge" icon on thumbnails
-* Initialize user_editcount to 0 instead of NULL for newly created accounts
-* (bug 3696) Strip LRM and RLM characters from titles to work around the
- problem some people have where titles cut-and-pasted from lists include
- the bidi override characters appended to the lists.
- A more thorough blacklist for forbidden and translatable characters would
- be wise, though, as might a cleaner method for the lists in the first place.
-* Fix regression in email password resets on read-restricted sites
-* Set tabindex on fields in deletion form so you don't have to tab through
- the links in the sitenotice
-* (bug 8271) Show full time and date on viewer for individual deleted
- revisions
-* (bug 8214) Output file size limit and actual file size in appropriate units
- on Special:Upload

- option to prevent this when running maintenance/update.php
-* (bug 7612) Remove superfluous link to Special:Categories from result items
- on Special:Mostcategories

-* (bug 8351) Fix undo for simple reverts
-* (bug 6856) User::clearNotification() does not respect read-only mode
-* (bug 6853) Use a checkbox on the installer form to indicate that a superuser
- account should be used; this is clearer than the old check which relied on
- the password never being an obscure value
-* Remove old unused watchlist cache, which was a leftover from the old schema
- where watchlists were more expensive to generate
-* Minor cosmetic changes to Special:Userrights
-* Added wgCanonicalSpecialPageName to JavaScript variables

-* Output software version number in maintenance/parserTests.php
-* (bug 7169) Use Ajax to watch/unwatch articles if enabled
-* Make variant table caching a little more robust, using main language code
- in cache key. Probably this is still a bit wonky, though. Was breaking
- parser tests when Chinese tables were getting loaded into Serbian code.
-* (bug 8380) Be nicer about blank lines in deleteBatch.php
-* (bug 8401) Fix regression in SORBS lookup for some DNS setups
-* Use raw file descriptor in posix_isatty() check to avoid warning on
- Linux systems with at least some versions of PHP

- implementation is unstable
-* Add hook for extensions to add user information to the panel in preferences,
- next to the user name and ID.

- template list. Patch by Fyren, with i18n naming tweak.
-* Fix for interwiki transclusion where target wiki uses query string for title
-* Resolve namespaces on interwiki Title objects using canonical namespace names
- if possible (should not happen, though, outside interwiki transclusion... and
- maybe not even then, but it does)
-* (bug 8447) Fix SQL typo breaking non-default $wgHitcounterUpdateFreq
-* Do not allow previews of deleted images to be cached
-* Add global variable $wgDefaultLanguageVariant used to set the default language
- variant of a wiki to something different than the main language code
-* Add 'variant' option to parserTests - runs test with the given variant as
- preferred, utilize it for more parser tests of language variants code

-* New maintenance script to show the cached statistics : showStats.php.

+ $wgAutoConfirmCount (defaulting to zero, naturally).
+* Added rate limiter for Special:Emailuser

+ into a page protected with this option enabled

+* (bug 3446) Add user preference to hide page content below diffs, can be
+ overridden by adding diffonly=1 or diffonly=0 to the URL of the diff page
+* Add 'purge' privilege to replace the hardcoded check for login state in
+ determining whether action=purge can be done via GET. Switching the

+* Remove full-archive list from Special:Undelete
+* (bug 8136) Introduce 'ArticleUndelete' hook; see docs/hooks.txt for more info
+* (bug 8712) Expose user groups as a JavaScript global
+* Introduce 'CustomEditor' hook; see docs/hooks.txt for more information
+* New special page, Special:Protectedpages, which shows all protected pages
+ and their protection status (full protection status is not pulled out due
+ to performance considerations, so it just shows "full protected" or
+ "semi protected".
+* (bug 4133) Allow page protections to be made with an expiry date, in the same
+ format as block expiry dates. Existing protections are assumed to be infinite,
+ as are protections made with the new field left blank.
+* (bug 8535) Allow certain vertical alignment attributes to be used as image
+ keywords
+* (bug 6987) Allow perrow, widths, and heights attributes for <gallery>
+* (bug 3678) Allow disabling MediaWiki:Aboutsite in the same way as
+ MediaWiki:Disclaimers; Also means that if any of the footer links are
+ disabled in the wiki's default language (by setting to "-"), they'll also
+ be disabled in other languages too (e.g. if the user specifies uselang=fr).
+* Sort log types in Special:Log
