Mediawiki v1.17.0.rc1 Release Notes
-
- 🛠 Fixed syntax error in generated LocalSettings.php when a non-default user rights profile is chosen.
- 🛠 (bug 29399) Fixed PostgreSQL installation when the DB user for installation is the same as the one for web access.
- 🛠 (bug 29233) Fixed failover for DB slave servers. When a DB slave went down, an error was immediately shown to the user, instead of trying another slave. Was broken since 1.17 beta 1.
- 🛠 (bug 29278) Fixed PHP fatal error when attempting to add text to a page via a redirect.
- 🛠 (bug 29408) Fixed uploads of files with MIME types that aren't detected by MediaWiki.
- ✂ Removed DEFAULT '' NOT NULL field definitions from Oracle DB schema because using the DEFAULT value ('') in DML broke Oracle backend as it treats an empty VARCHAR2 value as NULL. Indexes on Oracle do not require NOT NULL fields.
