== MediaWiki 1.46.0-PRERELEASE ==

THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET

MediaWiki 1.46 is an alpha-quality development branch, and is not recommended
for use in production.

== Upgrading notes for 1.46 ==
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 1.46 upgrades are below:

* …

For notes on 1.45.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

=== Configuration changes for system administrators in 1.46 ===

* $wgSVGConverter inkscape now requires Inkscape 1.0 or newer
* $wgSVGConverter presets sodipodi and imgserv were removed
* (T246054) $wgLogos['1.5x'] is no longer used. Devices that previously
  displayed the 1.5x logo will use $wgLogos['1x'] instead.
* …

==== New configuration ====

* $wgEnableWatchlistLabels - Feature flag to enable the new watchlist labels
  feature (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Watchlist_labels for info).
  Note that the two new database tables for watchlist labels will be created
  regardless of the value of this flag. Defaults to false.
* $wgUserJsPrefLimit – (T408733) This setting lets you limit the maximum number
  of supported custom JS preferences each user can have, to reduce load. The
  default value is 100.
* $wgBotPasswordsLimit - This setting allows administrators to configure the
  maximum number of bot passwords a user can create. The default value is 100.
* …

==== Changed configuration ====

* $wgSVGNativeRendering now defaults to true. This means that uploaded SVGs are
  rendered directly by the browser most of the time. MediaWiki applies several
  filters on uploaded SVGs to protect against malicious SVGs.
  The browser adds restrictions on the SVG when included as an <img> for
  additional protection. We do advise configuring CSP headers to protect users
  in case they open a SVG file directly in the browser.
* $wgThumbLimits has two new entries by default, 220px and 400px.  This
  matches the configuration used by WMF in production.  Since the default
  user thumbsize option is an index into this list (currently, '5'), this
  has the effect of changing the user default thumbnail size from 300px
  to 250px; again matching current WMF production defaults.
* …

==== Removed configuration ====

* (T276975) $wgAPIRequestLog, ignored since 1.43, has now been fully removed.
* $wgBlockTargetMigrationStage, ignored since 1.43, has now been fully removed.
* (T413867) $wgEnableSpecialMute and $wgEnableUserEmailMuteList feature flags
  have been removed.
* …

=== New user-facing features in 1.46 ===

* (T413375) A new parser function has been added, {{#isbn}}, which replaces
  the ISBN "magic link" functionality for those wikis which have chosen to
  disable it.
* (T12814) Special:MovePage can now move over existing pages when moving the
  talk page (following the same logic as for moving the subject page).
* (T12814) Special:MovePage will now fail loudly if you ask to move the
  the talk page but it couldn't be moved (rather than not moving the
  talk page and displaying an easy-to-miss error message)
* (T85393) Special:MovePage will now require explicit confirmation if the
  page you are trying to move to is protected against creation.
* (T413867) Special:Mute is always unconditionally enabled.
* (T381455) Special:NamespaceInfo will now display aliases defined through
  $wgNamespaceAliases.
* …

=== New features for sysadmins in 1.46 ===

* The 'arrays' localisation cache backend is more compact: a redundant list of
  message keys, and fallback data from other languages, are now deduplicated.
  Old cache files should either auto-update or continue to be readable where
  unchanged.
* The update.php maintenance script and the web-based schema updater now skips
  messages about schema updates that were already applied in earlier MediaWiki
  versions.
* A new "postprocessing" cache has been added in addition to the parser cache.
  This is enabled by default for Parsoid but not for the legacy parser; use
  $wgParserCacheFilterConfig to enable or disable use of this new cache.
* …

=== New developer features in 1.46 ===

* Various functions are now marked with the #[\NoDiscard] attribute, which will
  cause PHP 8.5 (and Phan) to emit warnings when their return values are not
  used, as that is usually a mistake. This has no effect when running on PHP
  8.4 or earlier.
* mw.message( ... ).parseDom() is now part of mediawiki.base and will return a
  jQuery object wrapping a text node with the unparsed message contents if
  mediawiki.jqueryMsg is not loaded.
* …

=== External library changes in 1.46 ===

=== Bug fixes in 1.46 ===

* …

=== Action API changes in 1.46 ===

* In the `action=parse` API endpoint, the value `prop=sections` has been
  deprecated. Use `prop=tocdata` instead (T319141).
* When specifying the Action API output format as `xml` or `xmlfm`, the
  `xslt` parameter has been removed.  No alternative is provided.
* (T359634) An SBOM in the CycloneDX 1.6 format can now be generated via the
  `sbom` prop of meta=siteinfo.

=== Action API internal changes in 1.46 ===

* …

=== Languages updated in 1.46 ===
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.

* (T407507) Updated namespace translations for Igbo (ig) language.
* (T409708) Added language support for Bole (bol).
* (T409393) Added language support for Javanese (Javanese script) (jv-java).
* (T411884) Added language support for Nawat (ppl).
* (T419373) Added language support for Lakota (lkt).
* …

=== Breaking changes in 1.46 ===

* The SpecialWatchlistGetNonRevisionTypesHook has been removed. Instead,
  extensions should ensure that rc_this_oldid is set to zero on recent changes
  entries that do not relate to any particular revision.
* MutableRevisionRecord::setSha1() has been removed without deprecation.
* Localizations of behavior switches must begin and end with double
  underscore (`_` or U+FF3F).  Some localizations present in 1.45 which
  did not do so have been removed; check the category named by
  [[MediaWiki::Bad-double-underscore-category]] before upgrade to see
  if your local wiki contains affected wikitext.
* Passing something other than an Authority for the $performer parameter to
  WatchlistManager methods clearTitleUserNotifications() and
  clearAllUserNotifications, deprecated since 1.37, will now throw. User
  implements Authority and so is still permitted.
* Passing something other than a PageReference for the $title parameter to
  WatchlistManager::getTitleNotificationTimestamp and
  clearTitleUserNotifications, deprecated since 1.37, will now throw.
* Many WatchedItemStore methods took either PageIdentity or LinkTarget, with
  LinkTarget being deprecated since 1.37. Passing a LinkTarget which is not a
  PageReference will now throw.
* Added an `isLegacy()` method to the `LogEntry` interface. All implementors in
  core already defined this method, and the interface is not stable to
  implement.
* WatchedItemQueryService::getWatchedItemsWithRecentChangeInfo, deprecated since
  1.45, has been removed. The associated constants, which were used as
  parameters to that method, like WatchedItemQueryService::FILTER_MINOR, have
  also been removed.
* The following methods of SpecialUserRights, deprecated in 1.45, have been
  removed: userCanChangeRights, expiryToTimestamp, doSaveUserGroups,
  fetchUser, changeableGroups. Callers should now use the equivalent methods
  from UserGroupAssignmentService or MultiFormatUserIdentityLookup.
* UserGroupsSpecialPage::canProcessExpiries (formerly
  SpecialUserRights::canProcessExpiries), deprecated in 1.45, has been removed.
  There's no replacement; the special page always assumes it can process
  expiries.
* The tests/phpunit/phpunit.php entrypoint, deprecated in 1.41, has been
  removed. Use `composer phpunit` instead.
* The tests/phpunit/suite.xml configuration file and
  tests/phpunit/bootstrap.integration.php bootstrap, deprecated in 1.42, have
  been removed. Use phpunit.xml.dist and bootstrap.php instead.
* The phpunit.xml.dist configuration file has been removed. MediaWiki now
  provides a phpunit.xml.template file that will be used to generate a local
  configuration file dependent on the wiki config. The local configuration
  can be generated manually by running `composer phpunit:config`, or
  automatically when running tests via `composer phpunit`.
* The tables represented by subclasses of TitleLinksTable are now expected to
  be normalized to use the linktarget table. If they are not, they should
  override the linksTargetNormalizationStage method to return MIGRATION_OLD.
* MimeAnalyzer::isPHPImageType, deprecated in 1.40, has been removed.
* FileRepo no longer implements getUploadStash(), only LocalRepo does.
* EtcdConfig::setLogger(), deprecated in 1.41, has been removed.
* Deprecated functions in DatabaseBlock have been removed.
  - DatabaseBlock::delete(), deprecated in 1.36, has been removed. Please use
    DatabaseBlockStore::deleteBlock instead.
  - DatabaseBlock::update(), deprecated in 1.36, has been removed. Use the
    replacement DatabaseBlockStore::updateBlock instead.
  - DatabaseBlock::insert(), deprecated in 1.36, has been removed. Use the
    replacement DatabaseBlockStore::insertBlock instead.
* The Result class has been removed; it was an unused alias of
  Shellbox\Command\UnboxedResult since 1.36.
* The PageContentSave hook, deprecated in 1.35, has been removed.
* The MagicWordwgVariableIDs hook, deprecated in 1.35, has been removed.
* The UserIsBlockedGlobally hook, deprecated in 1.40, has been removed
* The hooks 'AbortTalkPageEmailNotification' and 'AbortEmailNotification'
  (deprecated in 1.44 and 1.45) have been removed.
* The hooks 'UpdateUserMailerFormattedPageStatus' and
  'SendWatchlistEmailNotification' (deprecated in 1.45) have been removed.
* The related method RecentChangeNotifier::getPageStatus() has been removed.
* Constructing SpecialRedirectWithAction without a SearchEngineFactory argument
  will now trigger a PHP type error; omitting this was deprecated in 1.39.
* Parser::getDefaultSort(), deprecated in 1.38, has been removed.
* WatchedItem::getLinkTarget(), deprecated in 1.36, has been removed. Instead,
  use ::getTarget() (and cast if needed).
* The AddNewAccount hook, deprecated in 1.27, has been dropped.
* wfMatchesDomainsList(), deprecated in 1.39, has been removed. Instead, use
  UrlUtils::matchesDomainList().
* The PSR-7 (HTTP request/response) interfaces have been updated from the
  1.1 version of the spec to 2.0, adding return type hints. The copycat
  interface MediaWiki\Rest\ResponseInterface has been likewise updated.
* The global function wfAssembleUrl(), deprecated in 1.39, has been removed.
  Instead, use UrlUtils::assemble().
* The global function wfArrayDiff2(), deprecated in 1.43, has been removed.
* Parser::Options(), deprecated in 1.35, has been dropped. Instead, use the
  ::getOptions() and ::setOptions() methods.
* DefaultSettings.php, deprecated in 1.39, has been removed.
* $wgRCEngines and remaining behaviour has been removed. This was deprecated
  in 1.38.
* $wgRCFeeds now explicitly requires a class parameter. The fallback behaviour
  has been deprecated since 1.38 and has been dropped.
* Various deprecated Parser class functions have been dropped.
  - Parser::OutputType(), deprecated in 1.35. Use ::getOutputType() and
    ::setOutputType() instead.
  - Parser::getFunctionLang(), deprecated in 1.40. Use ::getTargetLanguage().
  - Parser::doBlockLevels(), deprecated in 1.35. Internal-only replacement
    is provided by BlockLevelPass::doBlockLevels().
  - Parser::attributeStripCallback(), deprecated with warnings in 1.35.
    This was never intended to be public.
  - Parser::enableOOUI(), deprecated with warnings in 1.35. Use
    $parser->getOutput()->setEnableOOUI() instead.
  - Parser::getPage() never returns null.  Calling ::getPage() without
    a title set was deprecated in 1.34 and has emitted warnings when
    returning null since 1.41.
  - Parser::getOutput() never returns null.  Calling ::getOutput() before
    the initialization of ParserOutput has been deprecated with warnings
    since 1.43.
  - Parser::setCacheTime() no longer accepts -1 to mean "not cacheable".
    This has emitted deprecation warnings since 1.36.
* ContentSerializationException no longer extends deprecated MWException.
* ContentHandler::checkFormat() and AbstractContent::checkFormat() now
  throw UnsupportedContentFormatException instead of deprecated MWException.
* wfMergeErrorArrays(), deprecated in 1.43, has been dropped.
* Article::getRedirectHeaderHtml(), deprecated in 1.41, has been dropped.
  Instead, use LinkRenderer::makeRedirectHeader().
* MergeHistory::isValidMerge() and MergeHistory::merge() now return StatusValue
  instead of Status. There are no known callers outside of core.
* Various deprecated global functions for handling URLs have been dropped.
  - wfParseUrl(), deprecated in 1.39, has been dropped. Instead, use
    UrlUtils::parse().
  - wfExpandUrl(), deprecated in 1.39, has been dropped. Instead, use
    UrlUtils::expand().
  - wfUrlProtocolsWithoutProtRel(), deprecated in 1.39, has been dropped.
    Instead, use UrlUtils::validAbsoluteProtocols().
  - wfUrlProtocols(), deprecated in 1.39, has been dropped. Instead,
    use UrlUtils::validProtocols().
* The 'vform' HTMLForm display format, deprecated in 1.45, has been removed.
  Use the 'codex' display format introduced in 1.41, or the 'ooui' format
  if you need form fields that are not supported by Codex yet.
* The VFormHTMLForm class and the HTMLFormField::getVForm() method
  have been removed.
* ContentHandler::checkModelID() and AbstractContent::checkModelID() now
  throw UnexpectedContentModelException instead of deprecated MWException.
* The mediawiki.ui module, deprecated in 1.41 and unused, was removed.
  Instead, use Codex modules.
* The mediawiki.ui.checkbox module, deprecated in 1.41 and unused, was removed.
  Instead, use Codex modules.
* The mediawiki.ui.radio module, deprecated in 1.41 and unused, was removed.
  Instead, use Codex modules.
* Less mixin 'mediawiki.mixins.animation.less', deprecated in 1.39, was removed.

* The $wgUser variable, deprecated in 1.36, was removed. You can instead use
  RequestContext::getMain()->getUser(), or another available ContextSource.
* …

=== Deprecations in 1.46 ===

* (T166010) All PHP code in MediaWiki is slowly being moved to be in a class
  namespace as appropriate, so that we can use PSR-4 auto-loading, which will
  speed up general code loading of MediaWiki. The old global namespace class
  names are being left behind as deprecated aliases.

  In this release of MediaWiki, XXX classes now have a namespace and XXX do
  not yet (XXX% done, up from 89% in MediaWiki 1.45.0). The following have newly
