What's New in MediaWiki 1.32.0
1.32.0
WARNINGS
Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site, many hours on a large site).
- Fix slow queries in migrateActors.php.
- Fix $magicWords for the Sanskrit language.
- Fix addition of ug_expiry column to user_groups table on MSSQL.
- Fix the cache timestamp for forced updates.
- User: Bypass repeatable-read when creating an actor_id.
- Extensions can now specify PHP versions and PHP extensions they depend on.
- Updated wikimedia/ip-set from v1.2.0 to v1.3.0.
- When using action=delete on pages with many revisions, the module may return a boolean-true 'scheduled' and no 'logid'. This signifies that the deletion will be processed via the job queue.
- Dropped columns category.cat_hidden, site_stats.ss_admins, and recentchanges.rc_cur_time from the PostgreSQL schema.
- Prevent populateSearchIndex.php from breaking once actor migration has been started.
- Properly set $wgLanguageCode in the generated LocalSettings.php if --lang is used with the command-line installer (install.php).
- Multiple changes to configuration and API
