It’s weekly code review update time! :) Some changes of note…
User preferences:
- (bug 505) Time zones can now be specified by location in user preferences, avoiding the need to manually update for DST. Patch by Brad Jorsch.
Web standards behavior:
- (bug 2585) HTTP 404 return code is now given for a page view if the page does not exist, allowing spiders and link checkers to detect broken links.
- (bug 16459) Use native getElementsByClassName where possible, for better performance in modern browsers
Localization/UI changes:
- (bug 16612) Fixed “noprint” class for Modern skin print style
- (bug 16712) Special:NewFiles updated to use “newer”/”older” paging messages for clarity over “previous/next”
- (bug 16026) revision-info, revision-info-current, cannotdelete, redirectedfrom, historywarning and difference messages now use Wiki text rather than raw HTML markup — Some wikis will need to fix their customized messages!
Upload/file-handling issues:
- (bug 13835) Fix rendering of {{filepath:Wiki.png|nowiki}}
- (bug 16772) Special:Upload now correctly rejects files with spaces in the file extension (e.g. Foo. jpg).
API changes:
- (bug 16726) siprop=namespacealiases should also list localized aliases
- (bug 16730) Added apprfiltercascade parameter to list=allpages to filter cascade-protected pages
