== MediaWiki 1.39.0-rc.0 ==

== Upgrading notes for 1.39 ==
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 1.31.

Some specific notes for MediaWiki 1.39 upgrades are below:
* (T278139) Drop PHP 7.3 support in MediaWiki 1.39; require 7.4.3 or higher.

For notes on 1.38.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

=== Configuration changes for system administrators in 1.39 ===

==== New configuration ====
* $wgAutoCreateTempUser – This configures automatic user creation on page save.
* $wgCopyUploadAllowOnWikiDomainConfig – This configures if administrators can
  use the MediaWiki:Copyupload-allowed-domains system message to define which
  domains can be used with the upload-by-url tool.
* $wgCdnMatchParameterOrder – This can be set to false if MediaWiki is behind a
  CDN that re-orders query parameters. This will make the code that matches
  request URLs to canonical CDN URLs insensitive to parameter order.
* $wgMultiShardSiteStats – This allows you to split site_stats across multiple
  rows. Only useful for very large, heavily edited wikis. (T306589)
* $wgPrivilegedGroups – Users belonging in some of the listed groups will be
  audited more aggressively.

==== Changed configuration ====
* $wgInvalidUsernameCharacters – This setting now contains the char '>', which
  is now the reserved delimiter for external user names.
* $wgLocalFileRepo – The default serialization method for file meta-data has
  been changed to JSON. You can revert it to PHP by setting the property
  'useJsonMetadata' to false.
* $wgLBFactoryConf – The 'configCallback' flag can now be set to a callback
  function that returns an array with keys to update in $wgLBFactoryConf. This
  can be used to update the database configuration on the fly, e.g. to take
  replica hosts out of rotation.
* $wgDBservers and $wgLBFactoryConf – The DBO_SSL flag in has been deprecated in
  favour of a boolean "ssl" parameter.
* $wgObjectCaches – The 'globalKeyLB' and 'localKeyLB' flags are no longer
  supported.

==== Removed configuration ====
* $wgMultiContentRevisionSchemaMigrationStage - This transition flag, deprecated
  since MediaWiki 1.35, has been removed; the data migration is over.
* $wgActorTableSchemaMigrationStage - This transition flag has been removed; the
  data migration is over.
* $wgWikiFarmSiteDetector – This experimental setting has been removed without
  replacement. Use the MW_WIKI_NAME environment variable to specifiy the name of
  the site for which to load configuration. Using the WIKI_NAME environment
  variable for this purpose is deprecated.
* $wgParserCacheUseJson - The ParserCache now always uses JSON serialization.
  Reading old non-JSON cache entries is still supported. The setting had been
  deprecated since 1.36.
* $wgAllowJavaUploads - To allow uploads of JAR files, remove application/java
  from $wgMimeTypeExclusions.
* $wgMaxRedirects – This broken feature was removed, as it never worked as
  intended (T296430).
* $wgElementTiming – This experimental, default-disabled feature has been
  removed without replacement.
* $wgPriorityHints and $wgPriorityHintsRatio – The related experimental feature
  has been removed without replacement.
* $wgIncludeLegacyJavaScript – This flag has been removed, without loss of any
  functionality in this release. Most former "wikibits" functions were removed
  after deprecation in previous releases. The remaining functions, such as
  importScript, are now available unconditionally.
* $wgLegacySchemaConversion - This unused setting has been removed.
* $wgInterwikiPrefixDisplayTypes - This unused setting has been removed.
* $wgMangleFlashPolicy – This is no longer functional, and is now deprecated.
  Users who are somehow still using Flash as a browser extension will be exposed
  to CSRF vulnerabilities.

=== New user-facing features in 1.39 ===
* Optional automatic user creation on page save ($wgAutoCreateTempUser)
* Administrators now have the option to delete/undelete the associated "Talk"
  page when they are (un)deleting a given page. `deletetalk` and `undeletetalk`
  options were added to the 'delete' and 'undelete' action APIs in MW 1.38.
* `{{=}}` is now a wikitext built-in magic word, expanding to `=`.  This is
  conventionally used as an escape mechanism to allow the use of `=` in
  unnamed template arguments.  Defining [[Template:=]] to expand to something
  other than `=` has been deprecated since 1.36, with affected pages put into
  a special tracking category for migration.
* (T284020) Bot passwords are now supported when using the REST API.

=== New developer features in 1.39 ===
* Added optional $size param to SearchResultProvideThumbnail hook.
* SearchResultProvideThumbnail hook interface moved from MediaWiki\Rest\Hook
  namespace to MediaWiki\Search\Hook.
* JsonValidateSaveHook has been added to allow extensions to set additional
  pre-save validations for specific JSON pages (T313254)
* Added 'PermissionErrorAudit' hook, enabling extensions to audit permission
  errors on specfic actions. For instance account registration failed attempts
  due to a block (T306018).

=== Bug fixes in 1.39 ===
* (T314013) $wgExtraNamespaces no longer overrides canonical namespace names

  rename extension-defined namespaces, system administrators may need to run
  namespaceDupes.php after upgrading.

=== Action API changes in 1.39 ===
* New `undeletetalk` parameter on action=undelete that allows you to restore
  all revisions of the associated talk page.

=== Languages updated in 1.39 ===
MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated regularly.
Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as changes to languages
because of Phabricator reports.

* Actual localization was added for several languages, which were already
  in Names.php and even used for a Wikipedia:
** (T313200) Added language support for Rundi (Kirundi, rn).
** (T310976) Added language support for Tumbuka (ChiTumbuka, tum).
** (T314270) Added language support for Kanuri (kr).
* (T313199) Added language support for Sylheti (syl).
* (T311975) Added language support for Ghanaian Pidgin (gpe).
* (T307080) Added language support for Okinawan (ryu).
* (T307887) Added language support for Mooré (mos).
* (T308813) Added language support for Nigerian Pidgin (pcm).
* (T309763) Added language support for Tai Nüa (tdd).
* (T310040) Added language support for Fante (fat).
* (T311034) Added language support for Campidanese Sardinian (sro).
* (T315406) Fix the autonym of the Iñupiaq language to "Iñupiatun".
* (T315677) Removed French fallback from the Fula language (ff).
* (T304920) In Swahili, The "Media" namespace is now "Media", as in English,
  and the "File" namespace is now "Faili". The old name of the "File" namespace
  was "Picha", and it's kept for backwards compatibility. If you manage a wiki
  in Swahili, and you use "Faili:" as a namespace anywhere in wikitext, and
  you mean to use it as "Media:", these need to be replaced to "Media:".
* (T309866) Some namespace translations were updated for Kyrgyz (ky). The old
  ones are retained as aliases for backwards compatibility.
* (T117845) Started the renaming of the language codes for Serbian from sr-ec
  and sr-el to sr-cyrl and sr-latn.
* (T295637) Add no to fallback chain of nb and nn.

  specific information on replacements. ActorMigrationBase remains usable for
  migrations in extension tables.

=== Other changes in 1.39 ===
* Dynamic default values are now applied before extension registration callbacks
  are run. This way, extensions have a complete view of config variables, with
  all defaults applied. For example, when the default value of X used to be
  static but becomes dynamic, and an extension reads the value of X in the
  registration callback, it will now continue to function as expected. In some
  cases however, this may cause an undesired change in behavior: if the dynamic
  default of setting X depends on the value of setting Y, and an extension
  changes Y, the changed value of Y will no longer affect the value of X.

== Compatibility ==

MediaWiki 1.39 requires PHP 7.4.3 or later and the following PHP extensions:

* ctype
* dom
* fileinfo
* iconv
* intl
* json
* mbstring
* xml

MariaDB is the recommended database software. MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite can
be used instead, but support for them is somewhat less mature.

The supported versions are:

* MariaDB 10.3 or higher
* MySQL 5.7.0 or higher
* PostgreSQL 10 or later
* SQLite 3.8.0 or later

== Online documentation ==
Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):

       https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Documentation

== Mailing list ==
A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:

       https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:

       https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce

It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.

== IRC help ==
There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.libera.chat.
