mediawiki (1:1.35.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    MediaWiki has been updated to the 1.35 upstream release branch, which
    brings in two years of upstream changes since 1.31. Release notes
    may be found in /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/RELEASE-NOTES-1.31` and
    /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/changelog. Please see the "Upgrading" section
    of README.debian and /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/UPGRADE for details on
    what manual steps need to be taken to upgrade.

    The VisualEditor extension, which provides a rich-text editor for wiki
    pages is now included and can be enabled by adding:
        wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );
    to /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php.

    Some highlights of new features:
    * New bundled extensions:
      * PageImages and TextExtracts provide OpenGraph metadata for when wiki
        pages are shared on social media platforms.
      * TemplateData allows specifying how templates should be invoked,
        making it easier to add/modify them to pages in the VisualEditor.
      * Scribunto adds Lua as a scripting language to write templates in.
      * SecureLinkFixer automatically rewrites URLs to use HTTPS if the
        domain always requires HTTPS via the HSTS preload list.
    * Administrators can enact "partical blocks", restricting users from
      editing a specific page or namespace.
    * User rights to edit sitewide JavaScript/CSS were separated into a
      separate "interface-admin" group to improve security.
    * Users can now add pages to their watchlist for a limited amount of time.
    * Support for new languages: Ambonese Malay (abs),
      Shawiya (Latin script) (shy-latn), Batak Mandailing (btm),
      Standard Moroccan Tamazight (zgh), Manipuri (mni),
      Western Armenian (hyw), Mon (mnw), Eastern Pwo (kjp), Santali (sat),
      Saisiyat (xsy).
    * Multilingual images and SVGs will now display in the correct language.

mediawiki (1:1.31.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    MediaWiki has been updated to the 1.31 upstream release branch, which
    brings in two years of upstream changes since 1.27. Release notes
    may be found in /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/RELEASE-NOTES-1.31` and
    /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/changelog. Please see the "Upgrading" section
    of README.debian and /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/UPGRADE for details on
    what manual steps need to be taken to upgrade.

    To continue receiving the default Debian settings, you will need to
    update your /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php to include the following
    line:

      require_once "$IP/includes/PlatformSettings.php";

    Any settings between the "Debian specific generated settings" comments
    in your LocalSettings.php should be removed, as they are obsoleted by
    the new PlatformSettings system.

    Some highlights of new features:
    * New bundled extensions:
      * CodeEditor provides a more friendly editor when editing CSS and
        JavaScript on-wiki.
      * MultimediaViewer provides a lightbox viewer for images and galleries.
      * OATHAuth provides two-factor authentication for wiki accounts.
      * Replace Text provides a form to let administrators do string
        replacements on the entire wiki, for both page contents and page
        titles.
    * The newly added Timeless skin provides a fully responsive interface
      for MediaWiki, working seamlessly across mobile and desktop devices.
    * The CologneBlue and Modern skins are no longer included, and must be
      removed from LocalSettings.php or downloaded separately.
    * User input is now cleaned up according to the HTML 5 parsing algorithm,
      instead of using HTML tidy, which relied on HTML 4 semantics. If you
      imported templates from Wikipedia or another wiki, you may need to
      re-import or update them.
    * Suppott for 7 new languages: nys, sty, gcr, kum, es-formal, hu-formal,
      and gor. Mirandese (mwl) now supports gendered user namespaces.

    Disabling the old one and copying over the new one from
    /etc/mediawiki/mediawiki.conf is recommended.
