= MediaWiki 1.41 = MediaWiki 1.41 is an pre-release testing branch, and is not recommended for use in production. == MediaWiki 1.41.0 == === Changes since MediaWiki 1.41.0-rc.0 === * Localisation updates. * Update wikimedia/parsoid to 0.18.0. * (T351758) DEVELOPERS.md: reword WSL instructions to include best practices. * (T350615) PoolCounterConnectionManager: Add support for ipv6. * (T321234) Make MagicWordArray not fail on old revs with broken UTF-8. * thumb: Fix "PHP Deprecated: strlen(): Passing null to parameter". * (T344971) Maintenance: Fix RebuildTextIndex. * (T327007) htmlform: Correct validation for file input field. == MediaWiki 1.41.0-rc.0 == == Upgrading notes for 1.41 == Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading! See the file UPGRADE for more detailed per-version upgrade instructions from the oldest supported upgrading version, MediaWiki 1.35. Some specific notes for MediaWiki 1.41 upgrades are below: * (T178356) MediaWiki now requires browsers to support ES6 for them to receive JavaScript, up from ES5. In practice, this primarily means that users of Internet Explorer 11 (EOL in 2022) will no longer get JavaScript tools. For notes on 1.40.x and older releases, see HISTORY. === Configuration changes for system administrators in 1.41 === * $wgGroupPermissions: The 'purge' permission is now considered an implicit right that can be rate limited, but not revoked. This has effectively already been the case for a long time, see T291316. ==== New configuration ==== * $wgPrivilegedGroups – Users belonging in some of the listed groups will be audited more aggressively. * $wgPageLinksSchemaMigrationStage – This temporary flag lets you control the migration stage for converting the pagelinks database table into normal form. * $wgExternalLinksDomainGaps – Can be used by large wikis to optimize certain external link queries. * $wgResourceLoaderEnableSourceMapLinks - Add a SourceMap header to ResourceLoader responses for JavaScript modules (T47514). * $wgVirtualDomainsMapping - Mapping of virtual domains to other dbs. It's useful to get connection to the external cluster. ==== Changed configuration ==== * $wgAuthManagerAutoConfig – When using this setting to modify the authentication system in MediaWiki, the classes TemporaryPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider, LocalPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider and EmailNotificationSecondaryAuthenticationProvider now require DBLoadBalancerFactory, not DBLoadBalancer, as a service. * $wgUseFileCache is no longer used for ResourceLoader module caching. * $wgLBFactoryConf['secret'] has been replaced by $wgChronologyProtectorSecret. ==== Removed configuration ==== * $wgCommentTempTableSchemaMigrationStage – This temporary flag did let you control the migration stage for the temporary comment database table, from revision. * $wgExternalLinksSchemaMigrationStage – This temporary flag did let you control the migration stage for the externallinks database table. * $wgParserOutputHooks - This array interacted with ParserOutput::addOutputHook(), which has been deprecated since 1.38 and was removed in this release. === New user-facing features in 1.41 === * Special:RandomPage can now take multiple namespaces in its URL, split by ','. * The aria-level HTML attribute is now allowed in wikitext by the Sanitizer. === New features for sysadmins in 1.41 === * $wgDBssl can now enabled in the installer when the database type is Postgres or MariaDB/MySQL (T335828). * MWHttpRequest will forward 'tracestate' and/or 'traceparent' headers when those are present in the original request and $wgAllowExternalReqID is set to true. * MultiHttpClient will send X-Request-Id header and additionally will forward 'tracestate' and/or 'traceparent' headers when those are present in the original request and $wgAllowExternalReqID is set to true. === New developer features in 1.41 === * Added ForeignResourcesDir extension.json / skin.json attribute, which should point to the directory holding your foreign-resources.yaml file. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Foreign_resources for background. * Added PrivilegedGroups attribute for extension.json / skin.json, which lets you add any new user groups you define to wgPrivilegedGroups (see above). * Added a .gitmessage commit template. To use it, run: `git config commit.template .gitmessage` * A new hook, TextSlotDiffRendererTablePrefixHook, has been added to allow extensions to add content within #mw-content-text but after the DifferenceEngineViewHeader or DifferenceEngineShowDiffPage hooks have been run. The new hook is used to add elements within a horizontal display area, where their order can be explicitly set. Examples of uses for this include adding the VisualEditor diff-type switch, and the legend for inline diffs that is displayed if Wikidiff2 is installed. * validation callbacks for HTMLForm fields can now return Status objects. HTMLForm::validate will convert good Status instances to true and Status instances to a string containing a list with the errors. * ?action=rollback, if successful, will fire core's postEdit JavaScript hook; for now, we do *not* display a success message to the user via mw.notify(), as the RollbackAction form's success page is already shown * MultiHttpClient constructor will accept `headers` property which defines a set of headers attached to every request performed by the client. * New `Wikimedia/Http/TelemetryHeadersInterface` interface that provides a telemetry information which could be attached to HTTP Requests * Wikimedia/Http/TelemetryHeadersInterface can be passed to MultiHttpClient via 'telemetry' option. * UserRegistrationLookup adds support for multiple kinds of registration dates Extensions providing support for wiki-farm can use this to provide a global registration date (across all wikis), for example. * When $wgUseXssLanguage is set to true (enabled by default in DevelopmentSettings.php), ?uselang=x-xss can be used to easily test whether all messages are being escaped correctly. * Html::noticeBox accepts new optional parameters, 'heading' & 'iconClassName'. 'heading' allows to pass an string as title; 'iconClassName' overwrites the default info icon. === External library changes in 1.41 === ==== New external libraries ==== * Added pinia at v2.0.16. * Added symfony/polyfill-php81 at v1.28.0. * Added symfony/polyfill-php82 at v1.28.0. * Added symfony/polyfill-php83 at v1.28.0. ==== Changed external libraries ==== * Updated codex, codex-design-tokens and codex-icons from v0.6.2 to v1.0.0. * Updated guzzlehttp/guzzle from 7.5.0 to 7.5.3. * Updated jQuery from v3.6.1 to v3.7.0. * Updated justinrainbow/json-schema from 5.2.12 to v5.2.13. * Updated Mustache from 3.0.1 to 4.2.0. * Updated OOjs from 6.0.0 to 7.0.1. * Updated OOUI from v0.46.3 to v0.48.1. * Updated pear/mail from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1. * Updated symfony/polyfill-php82 from v1.27.0 to v1.28.0. * Updated symfony/yaml from v5.4.17 to v5.4.23. * Updated wikimedia/bcp-47-code from 1.0.0 to 2.0.0. * Updated wikimedia/common-passwords from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0. * Updated wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin from 2.0.1 to 2.1.0. * Updated wikimedia/html-formatter from 3.0.1 to 4.0.3. * Updated wikimedia/ip-utils from 4.0.0 to 5.0.0. * Updated wikimedia/less.php from 4.0.0 to 4.1.1. * Updated wikimedia/minify from 2.3.0 to 2.5.1. * Updated wikimedia/remex-html from 3.0.3 to 4.0.1. * Updated wikimedia/timestamp from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1. * Updated wikimedia/utfnormal from 3.0.2 to 4.0.0. ===== Changed development-only external libraries ===== * Updated mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer from 41.0.0 to 42.0.0. * Updated mediawiki/mediawiki-phan-config from 0.12.1 to 0.13.0. ==== Removed external libraries ==== * jquery.hoverIntent was removed. * codex-search was removed, it's part of codex now. * wikimedia/ip-set was removed, it's part of wikimedia/ip-utils now. * jquery.color was removed. * jquery.fullscreen was removed. * jquery.form was removed. === Action API changes in 1.41 === * (T322944) `Authorization` was added to the default list of headers allowed for cross-origin API requests ($wgAllowedCorsHeaders). === Languages updated in 1.41 === MediaWiki supports over 350 languages.
