New changes

Changes in MW since the last update...

New features

• (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File. For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may need to be updated.
• The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility, and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older.
• MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by using $wgUsePrivateIPs.

• Dropped old Paser_OldPP class. Only new parser with preprocessor is used.
• Moved password reset form from Special:Preferences to Special:ResetPass
• Added Special:ChangePassword as a special page alias for Special:ResetPass
• Added complimentary function for addHandler() called removeHandler() for removing events
• Improved security of file uploads for IE clients, using a reverse-engineered algorithm very similar to IE's content detection algorithm.

Bug fixes in 1.14

• (bug 11728) Unify layout of enhanced watchlist/recent changes
• (bug 8702) Properly update stats when running nukePage maintenance script
• (bug 7726) Searches for words less than 4 characters now work without requiring customization of MySQL server settings
• Honour unchecked "Leave a redirect behind" for moved subpages
• (bug 16440) Broken 0-byte math renderings are now deleted and re-rendered when page is re-parsed.
• (bug 6100) Unicode BiDi embedding/override characters (U+202A - U+202E) are now automatically removed from titles; these characters can accidentally end up in copy-and-pasted titles, and, by overriding normal bidirectional text handling, can lead to annoying behavior such as text rendering backwards
• Fixed minor bug where the memcached value for how many accounts an IP had created that day would be increased even if $wgAccountCreationThrottle was hit. This meant if an IP hit the throttle and then the throttle was raised later that day, the IP still couldn't create another account, because it had marked them as having created another account, when their last account creation had actually failed.
• (bug 12647) Allow autogenerated edit summary messages to be blanked with '-'

• (bug 14365) RepoGroup::findFiles() no longer crashes if passed an invalid title via the API
• (bug 4253, bug 16586) Revision ID is now given instead of title in URLs for new pages in the recent changes IRC feed
• Fix regression caused by r43047 -- options arrays in show/hide links broken by being merged in the wrong order when moved from wfArrayMerge() to "+" operator.
