MediaWiki 1.25

本頁面包含MediaWiki不再支持版本的發行說明。 建议此版本的用户升级至版本1.42.3 （最新稳定版本）、1.41.4 （仍受支持版本）或1.39.10 （仍受支持的长期支持版本）。

MediaWiki 1.25是过去的MediaWiki版本。 点击$relnotes查看完整更新内容列表。 自2014年9月25日起，通过增量更新的“"wmf"-分支 部署在维基百科基金会管理的wiki上。 1.25.0的稳定版预计在2015.5.25, 周一发布。 A 1.25.1 tarball was released shortly afterwards due to a JSON syntax error in the ConfirmEdit extension. 由140名开发者提供了超过2200次修改，和众多翻译人员提供了本地化工作。 下载latest release 或者在git中checkout REL1_25 分支下的in Git 去关注最新的发布。

Templates that add icons to the top right corner of the page (and more) can be updated to use the new page status indicators feature.

MediaWiki now uses by default the extended watchlist and so called enhanced recent changes (preference "按页面组合显示最近更改和监视列表中的更改"), which also received several improvements in MediaWiki 1.24 and 1.25 (工單T37785).

This means that Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist show all the changes to each page in a given day, sorted by page rather than chronologically. Changes to each page are collapsed by default and a compact overview is shown, with links to collated diffs and counts of each user's actions. Full activity for an individual page can then be shown with a single click.

Users will no longer need to know in detail how a single change was chosen for display in order to figure out what else may have happened to the page that day, nor to scan a long list of non-contiguous lines on the screen in order to get a complete picture. The change is part of MediaWiki's evolution towards an interface which is more discoverable and less cluttered by default, while equally easy to quickly access in full, with the help of JavaScript. However, the (grouped) layout is an improvement for non-JavaScript users as well.

While editing, you're not sure what a wikitext syntax will produce? That's no longer a problem, now that live preview is no longer experimental. By enabling the feature in your preferences, MediaWiki will display the effect of your edits without fully reloading the page, so that you can quickly correct any mistake.

The import tool is now much easier to use on content from a wiki which has different namespaces than yours (e.g. because it's in another language).

MediaWiki no longer includes hit counters in core, following a request for comment, which means that Special:PopularPages and the "Most Viewed Pages" section of Special:Statistics are now removed. The hit numbers, which occurred until the 1.25 upgrade was installed, will still be kept in the database, but they will no longer be updated. If you want to continue using this functionality: It has been re-implemented into Extension:HitCounters .

Continuing the work in MediaWiki 1.18 and 1.19, multiple log types of Special:Log have been migrated to the new logging system, which allows full internationalization including word order and grammatical gender. The migration continues. See 工單T26620 for a list.

新增了以下本地化语言:

• 阿瓦德语
• 西俾路支语
• 东桑海语

• PHP 5.3.3 or newer is now required to run MediaWiki (up from PHP 5.3.2).
• The legacy skinning system, that uses skin autodiscovery, has been removed (deprecated since 1.23) in favor of the skin registration system. This skinning system has been available, with some minor changes, since MediaWiki 1.12.
• The OpenSearchXml extension was merged into MediaWiki core. If you have it installed, you should undeploy it.
• The default-off jQuery Migrate library was removed. Please see http://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/1.9/ for guidance on how to fix your local JavaScript.
• Users installing from git will now need to fetch external libraries. More details are available below in #External libraries.
• Special:Cite was moved out of the Cite extension and into a separate CiteThisPage repository. require_once "$IP/extensions/Cite/SpecialCite.php"; should be replaced by wfLoadExtension( 'CiteThisPage' );
• If you do not keep your extensions or skins inside the default location ($IP /extensions, $IP/skins), see #Changes to extension loading below.
• #Hit counters removed

More configuration defaults have been flipped, to reduce the strain needed by most administrators to get a sensibly-configured install. See the full release notes for details.

A large amount of time was spent cleaning up the API, making the output saner, and friendlier for new developers to use. The following breaking changes are included in 1.25:

• Backlinks, imageusage, and embeddedin as prop modules
• Warnings will be sent if no continuation parameter is passed
• API help overhaul (see below)
• Breaking change in generator=search
• Deprecation of list=deletedrevs, and a minor BREAKING CHANGE for action=query revids=
• BREAKING CHANGE: Title-part parameters will no longer silently break on the '#' character
• BREAKING CHANGE: list=search redirecttitle is no longer an object
• Reminder: Breaking change to API continuation planned for 1.26

The API documentation was overhauled to use internationalized messages, a prettier format, and be easier to navigate. The help can be embedded or linked to in wiki pages by transcluding Special:ApiHelp. For those who preferred being able to see all documentation in one page, you can use recursivesubmodules=1.

API responses in format=json or php have a more sensible data layout if clients specify a new formatversion=2 parameter in requests (工單T76728). If you do not specify this, API responses should be backwards-compatible, but in some cases developers of API modules will need to update their extension to ensure this. All extensions that are developed in Wikimedia Gerrit have been updated in 1.25 to ensure backwards compatibility. More details are in API:JSON version 2 and the generated API help for json format.

• Update user_newtalk.user_id to an unsigned integer
• Increase the length for various comment and reason fields to prepare for increasing the edit summary length

To work towards a proper configuration database, we are changing the way extensions and skins are registered with MediaWiki. Extensions and skins can now move their metadata into extension.json or skin.json, and use wfLoadExtension( 'FooBar' ); or wfLoadSkin( 'FooBar' ); to load those that support it. All extensions and skins bundled with the tarball support this. The old style of loading by require_once "$IP/extensions/FooBar/FooBar.php"; will continue to be supported for backwards-compatibility.

If you do not keep your extensions or skins inside the default location ($IP /extensions, $IP/skins), you will need to set $wgExtensionDirectory for extensions, and the poorly named $wgStyleDirectory for skins.

Developer documentation on how to migrate extensions can be found at extension registration.

The entire profiling system has been overhauled to be more flexible and less invasive using the xhprof extension. Manual wfProfileIn and wfProfileOut function calls are no longer needed and should be removed. See Manual:Profiling for an overview of the new options and how to update your StartProfiler.php.

As part of the Library infrastructure for MediaWiki project, MediaWiki core now uses composer for managing external dependencies instead of copying the files into our code repo, such as CSSJanus and lessphp. In addition, libraries not specific to MediaWiki that were originally written for MediaWiki, such as the CDB library, were moved out into their own repos.

The tarball will contain these dependencies and the upgrade process for tarball users should stay the same. Users who have cloned from git will need to follow the instructions at Download from Git#Fetch external libraries. Installed libraries will be displayed upon Special:Version in their own section.

composer.json was previously used for composer-managed extensions, but it is now used for managing dependencies of MediaWiki core. After discussions regarding this issue, a composer-merge-plugin was developed so sysadmins could specify their dependencies in a composer.local.json. More documentation is available at Composer/For extensions.
