Issue with encoding
by Zoran Dori 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Hello, I'm working on one wiki which shows characters in a weird way. UTF-8 is used for encoding, so I believe that it isn't an issue. You can take a look here Statik A – Sub Bavaria (sub-bavaria.de) <http://www.sub-bavaria.de/w/index.php?title=Statik_A>, so you can better understand what I'm talking about. Could you please point me to something that I should look for, so I can fix this issue? Wiki was previously on version 1.31, I've upgraded it to 1.38. Thanks for your help and understanding! Best regards, Zoran

Large files for testing
by Physikerwelt 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hi, We are currently in the process of converting the Math renderer from JS to PHP. In this context, we deal with large (50Mb) files for testing https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T315223. While the test file was part of the JS source code repo, we are unsure if this is also the best practice for PHP code, as I don't remember having seen that in other repositories such as core. If you have experience with this, please let me know. Thank you physikerwelt

Request for feedback: Two changes related to databases in MediaWiki
by Amir Sarabadani 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Hello, Two changes is being made on MediaWiki databases: *First:* We are reworking how extensions manage their database schema. The idea is to basically deprecate LoadExtensionSchemaUpdates hook[1] and replace it with structured values in extension.json. This is needed to avoid arbitrary php code execution during database update which can cause problems and was a contributing factor in one of our major outages [2]. The other reason for this change is to be able to wire abstract schema of extensions to core so it can be tested in CI (for example for having a valid json, having prefixes set correctly, etc.) You can see a POC of that in [3] Given that once the change is merged to core, breaking changs to extension registry schema would require a lot of work (updating the maniphest version and so on), it's better to get it right before merge. I have proposed something like [4]. For any feedback on this, please go to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237839, *Second:* We are working to provide a replacement for raw SQL for query conditions. When the query condition is exact equality condition (e.g. rev_id = 123), you don't need to provide raw SQL but for most other cases you need to either provide it or build it via IDatabase methods. For example: 'rev_timestamp > ' . $db->addQuotes( $db->timestamp( $since ) ). You can see an example of this in [5] (being changed to something much better via a newly introduced method). This is not optimal and not very developer friendly, to solve that, we are proposing to have something like ExpressionBuilder::greater( 'rev_timestamp', $db->timestamp( $since ) ) supported in SelectQueryBuilder::where(). You can see the POC in [6]. For any feedback on this please go to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T210206 [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/LoadExtensionSchemaUpdates [2] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incidents/2020-04-07_Wikidata%27s_wb_it… [3] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/816262/10/tests/phpunit/s… [4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237839#8268173 [5] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/832625/6/includes/api/Api… [6] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/841940/ Thank you -- *Amir Sarabadani (he/him)* Staff Database Architect Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>

MediaWiki 1.39.0-rc.1 is ready for testing
by Sam Reed 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of MediaWiki 1.39.0-rc.1, the second release candidate for 1.39.0, the next LTS after MediaWiki 1.35. Download links are at the end of the e-mail. The tag has been signed and pushed to Git. This is not a final release, and should not be used for production websites. Known issues are tracked in Phabricator on the release workboard [1]. As with every release of MediaWiki, a large number of changes have landed in the last six months (over 1850 commits since 1.38.0 was cut), and you should read over the preliminary release notes as part of assuring yourself of areas that may have issues with your configuration, your skins, and/or your extensions. As always, please try out the release candidate in a test environment and do report any issues that you discover. Please use the #MW-1.39-Release [2] tag in Phabricator when reporting issues specific to this release, to make sure that we find them as quickly as possible. It is expected that MediaWiki 1.39 will become final in November 2022, though the date may slip if blockers are identified. Changes since MediaWiki 1.39.0-rc.0: * Localisation updates. * (T318481) composer: Drop symfony/php73-polyfill. * (T318460) SpecialChangeEmail: Set default for returntoquery. * (T318307) HTMLFormField::validate(): Update docs to permit all data types * (T306802) docker: update to latest published images. * (T318754) WebInstallerOptions::addPersonalizationOptions(): Close fieldset. * (T227047) Soft-deprecate the remainder of ActorMigration. * (T316304, CVE-2022-41767) SECURITY: reassignEdits doesn't update results in an IP range check on Special:Contributions. * (T309894, CVE-2022-41765) SECURITY: HTMLUserTextField exposes existence of hidden users. * (T307278, CVE-2022-41766) SECURITY: On action=rollback the message "alreadyrolled" can leak revision deleted user name. * (T319186) .phan/config.php: Update minimum__target_php_version. * Tests: Explicit cast to int in RandomImageGenerator test (php8 warnings). * (T319186) .phan/config.php: Update minimum__target_php_version. * (T310243) Deprecate use of 'wvui-search' package. * utils: Fix return doc about false/null for UrlUtils::expand. * (T319000) WebInstaller: Don't try and run trim() on null. * In the event of preg failure in MagicWordArray throw exception. * (T318753) Installer: Disable logo dropper for now.

Some of the referenced Phabricator tasks above _may_ still be private. Unfortunately, when security issues are reported, sometimes sensitive information is exposed and since Phabricator is historical, we cannot make these tasks public without exposing this sensitive information. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding this update, please feel free to contact security(a)wikimedia.org or file a security task within Phabricator [3].
