* Default cookie expiration time has been reduced to 30 days. Login cookie expiration time is kept at 180 days. $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo is now true by default to work around restrictive DMARC policies.
* Subpages are now enabled by default in the Template namespace. New features
* Added $wgSoftBlockRanges, to allow for automatically blocking anonymous edits from certain IP ranges (e.g. private IPs). Added new magic word {{PAGELANGUAGE}} which returns the language code of the page being parsed. (bug T59603)
* Users can now be assigned to user groups for a limited period of time. See the help page for more information. Action API changes
* Submitting sensitive authentication request parameters to action=clientlogin, action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and action=changeauthenticationdata in the query string is now an error. They should be submitted in the POST body instead.
* The capture option for action=resetpassword has been removed action=clearhasmsg now requires a POST.
* (task T47843) API errors and warnings may be requested in non-English languages using the new errorformat, errorlang, and errorsuselocal parameters.
* API error codes may have changed. Most notably, errors from modules using parameter prefixes (e.g. all query submodules) will no longer be prefixed.
* action=emailuser may return a \"Warnings\" status, and now returns \'warnings\' and \'errors\' subelements (as applicable) instead of \'message\'.
* action=imagerotate returns an \'errors\' subelement rather than errormessage.
* action=move now reports errors when moving the talk page as an array under key talkmove-errors, rather than using talkmove-error-code and talkmove-error-info. The format for subpage move errors has also changed.
* action=revisiondelete no longer includes a \"rendered\" property on warnings and errors for each item. Use errorformat=wikitext if you\'re wanting parsed output.
* action=rollback no longer returns a messageHtml property. Use errorformat=html if you\'re wanting HTML formatting of error messages.
* action=upload now reports optional stash failures as an array under key \'stasherrors\' rather than a \'stashfailed\' text string.
* action=watch reports \'errors\' and \'warnings\' instead of a single \'error\', and no longer returns a \'message\' on success.
* Added action=validatepassword to validate passwords for the account creation and password change forms. Action API internal changes
* New methods were added to ApiBase to handle errors and warnings using i18n keys. Methods for using hard-coded English messages were deprecated:
* ApiBase::dieUsage() was deprecated - ApiBase::dieUsageMsg() was deprecated - ApiBase::dieUsageMsgOrDebug() was deprecated - ApiBase::getErrorFromStatus() was deprecated - ApiBase::parseMsg() was deprecated - ApiBase::setWarning() was deprecated
* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
* result in a PHP fatal error.
* The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
* UsageException is deprecated in favor of ApiUsageException. For the time being ApiUsageException is a subclass of UsageException to allow things that catch only UsageException to still function properly. If, for some strange reason, code was using an ApiErrorFormatter instead of ApiErrorFormatter_BackCompat, note that the result format has changed and various methods now take a module path rather than a module name.
* ApiMessageTrait::getApiCode() now strips \'apierror-\' and \'apiwarn-\' prefixes from the message key, and maps some message keys for backwards compatibility. Languages updated
* Based as always on linguistic studies on intelligibility and language knowledge by geography, language fallbacks have been expanded.
* No fallback for Ukrainian
* (task T39314) The fallback from Ukrainian to Russian was removed. The Ukrainian language will now use the default fallback language: English. When a translation to Ukrainian is not available, an English string will be shown. Other changes
* wiki.phtml entry point was removed. Refer to index.php instead. If you want \"wiki.phtml\" URLs to continue to work, set up redirects.
* Mon May 15 2017 ecsosAATTopensuse.org- update to 1.28.2 This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.28 branch. Due to a mistake in packaging, the releases 1.27.2 and 1.28.1 did not contain the fix for SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi. This new release does contain that fix.- update to 1.28.1 This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.28 branch. === Changes since 1.28.0 ===
* $wgRunJobsAsync is now false by default (T142751). This change only affects wikis with $wgJobRunRate > 0.
* Fix fatal from \"WaitConditionLoop\" not being found, experienced when a wiki has more than one database server setup.
* (T152717) Better escaping for PHP mail() command,
* (T154670) A missing method causing the MySQL installer to fatal in rare circumstances was restored.
* (T154672) Un-deprecate ArticleAfterFetchContentObject hook.
* (T158766) Avoid SQL error on MSSQL when using selectRowCount().
* (T145635) Fix too long index error when installing with MSSQL.
* (T156184) $wgRawHtml will no longer apply to internationalization messages.
* (T160519) CACHE_ANYTHING will not be CACHE_ACCEL if no accelerator is installed.

* (T161453) SECURITY: LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory in it\'s fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
* (T48143) SECURITY: Spam blacklist ineffective on encoded URLs inside file inclusion syntax\'s link parameter.
* (T108138) SECURITY: Sysops can undelete pages, although the page is protected against it.
* Mon Jan 09 2017 ecsosAATTopensuse.org- update to 1.28.0 === Breaking changes ===
* Magic links are now disabled by default. They can be enabled by changing the value of $wgEnableMagicLinks. It has been proposed to remove magic link functionality from MediaWiki in a future release, if you depend upon or use them it is requested that you comment at Requests for comment/Future of magic links. === Changes since 1.28.0rc0 ===
* (T142210) The changes to move the parser \"NewPP limit report\" from a HTML comment to a machine-readable JavaScript config option \'wgPageParseReport\' have been undone. They caused the human-readable limit report to be shown incompletely or not at all. ParserOutput::setLimitReportData() and getLimitReportData() behave as they did in MediaWiki 1.27 again.
* (T149510) Value of {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} parser function will not be used for the text of subheadings on a category page when creating it. This wasn\'t working correctly.
* (T106793) MediaWiki will no longer try to perform a HTTP redirect to the canonical pretty URL when a non-pretty URL is used. It resulted in redirect loops in some clients and in some server configurations. This undoes a change made in MediaWiki 1.26.
* (T149759) manifest_version: 2 was removed. === Configuration changes in 1.28 ===
* $wgSend404Code now affects status code of action=history if the page is not there.
* BREAKING CHANGE: $wgHTTPProxy is now
*required
* for all external requests made by MediaWiki via a proxy. Relying on the http_proxy environment variable is no longer supported.
* The load.php entry point now enforces the existing policy of not allowing access to session data, which includes the session user and the session user\'s language. If such access is attempted, an exception will be thrown.
* The number of internal PBKDF2 iterations used to derive the session secret is configurable via $wgSessionPbkdf2Iterations.
* Upload dialog\'s file upload log comment can now be configured separately for local and foreign uploads.
* $wgForeignUploadTargets now defaults to `[ \'local\' ]`, where `\'local\'` signifies local uploads. A value of `[]` (empty array) now means that no upload targets are allowed, effectively disabling the upload dialog.
* The deprecated $wgEditEncoding variable has been removed; it was only used for Esperanto language character conversion. You are now recommended to use input methods provided by the UniversalLanguageSelector extension.
* When $wgPingback is true, MediaWiki will periodically ping https://www.mediawiki.org/beacon with basic information about the local MediaWiki installation. This data includes, for example, the type of system, PHP version, and chosen database backend. This behavior is off by default.
* When $wgEditSubmitButtonLabelPublish is true, MediaWiki will label the button to store-to-database-and-show-to-others as \"Publish page\"/\"Publish changes\"; if false, the default, they will be \"Save page\"/\"Save changes\".
* The \'editcontentmodel\' permission is now granted to all logged-in users (\'user\'). instead of just administrators (\'sysop\'). Documentation for this feature is available at .
* $wgRevisionCacheExpiry is now set to one week by default instead of being disabled.
* Magic links are now disabled by default, and can be re-enabled by modifying the value of $wgEnableMagicLinks. Their usage is discouraged, but if they are manually enabled, a tracking category will be added to help identify usage and make it easier to migrate away from. If you depend upon magic link functionality, it is requested that you comment on and explain your use case(s).
* New config variable $wgCSPFalsePositiveUrls to control what URLs to ignore in upcoming Content-Security-Policy feature\'s reporting. === New features in 1.28 ===
* User::isBot() method for checking if an account is a bot role account.
* Added a new \'slideshow\' mode for galleries.
* Added a new hook, \'UserIsBot\', to aid in determining if a user is a bot.
* Added a new hook, \'ApiMakeParserOptions\', to allow extensions to better interact with API parsing.
* Added a new hook, \'UploadVerifyUpload\', which can be used to reject a file upload. Unlike \'UploadVerifyFile\' it provides information about upload comment and the file description page, but does not run for uploads to stash.
* (T141604) Extensions can now provide a better error message when their maintenance scripts are run without the extension being installed.
* (T8948) Numeric sorting in categories is now supported by setting $wgCategoryCollation to \'uca-default-u-kn\' or \'uca--u-kn\'. If you can\'t use UCA collations, a \'numeric\' collation is also available. If migrating from another collation, you will need to run the updateCollation.php maintenance script.
* Two new codes have been added to #time parser function: \"xit\" for days in current month, and \"xiz\" for days passed in the year, both in Iranian calendar.
* mw.Api has a new option, useUS, to use U+001F (Unit Separator) when appropriate for sending multi-valued parameters. This defaults to true when the mw.Api instance seems to be for the local wiki.
* After a client performs an action which alters a database that has replica databases, MediaWiki will wait for the replica databases to synchronize with the master database while it renders the HTML output. However, if the output is a redirect to another wiki on the wiki farm with a different domain, MediaWiki will instead alter the redirect URL to include a ?cpPosTime parameter that triggers the database synchronization when the URL is followed by the client. The same-domain case uses a new cpPosTime cookie.
* Added new hooks, \'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery\', \'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery\', and \'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow\', to make it easier for extensions to add \'prop\' and \'show\' parameters to existing API query modules. === External library changes in 1.28 === ==== Upgraded external libraries ====
