I changed only the old items in the Changes section of the RELEASE-NOTES to make them better readible. Long lines were broken, and superfluous comments removed. Names of contributors remain in that list. Change-Id: I449d93066b6ba21ddf761abbbee69a337736955b

=== TO DO ===
|
|
|
|
- set an upper default limit for HttpRequest request size when fetching feeds
|
|
doing a HEAD request first to ask for the size but that value may not be
|
|
available. Check how much data is returned as its coming back
|
|
in which case you'd override the content fetch callback and count data as it
|
|
comes in or check the header, again, if it's provided, at the start of data
|
|
coming in. Then you could abort cleanly once it's gotten too much
|
|
(otherwise using the defaults - PHP will abort the entire program when your
|
|
memory usage gets too high)
|
|
|
|
- This is currently an open issue:
|
|
Suggestion: add a new parameter to limit the number of characters when
|
|
rendering the channel item <description>.
|
|
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30377#c5
|
|
The length limitation must be HTML tag-safe, but it is not at the moment.
|
|
Length limitation is disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.20 2013-03-03 ===
|
|
* follow-up change (renaming) of Class HttpRequest in core to MWHttpRequest
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.19 2013-02-26 ===
|
|
* (bug 45387) $wgAllowImageTag variable name changed to $wgRSSAllowImageTag
|
|
* problem that $wgRSSAllowImageTag was ignored (fixed)
|
|
* (bug 45388) definition of all variables in RSS.php (fixed)
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.18 2013-02-20 ===
|
|
* release version
|
|
|
|
Version 2.18 submits the unported and reverted changes from the former SVN
|
|
repository version. In the transition phase from SVN to Git/Gerrit,
|
|
formerly unreviewed changes stayed in the Gerrit limbus from April 2012 to
|
|
February 2013 and were reviewed there and further improved.
|
|
|
|
With version 2.18, all these pending changes were reviewed and become now
|
|
available in the Git repository.
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.17 2012-12-30 ===
|
|
* code cosmetics
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.12 2012-03-07 ===
|
|
* bug fix 34763 "RSS feed items (HTML) are not rendered as HTML but htmlescaped"
|
|
* regression bug 30377 "Add a new parameter to limit the number of characters
|
|
when rendering the channel item <description>". Feed item string length
|
|
limitation is difficult when we allow HTML <a> or <img> tags, because a mere
|
|
content-unaware limitation breaks (can break) tags which results in disastrous
|
|
rendering results.
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.11 2012-02-29 ===
|
|
* function name typo correction
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.10 2012-02-27 ===
|
|
* final solution of bug 30028 "Error parsing XML for RSS" - improve and harden
|
|
Extension:RSS when parsing differently flavoured RSS feeds and ATOM feeds
|
|
* new parameter $wgRSSUrlNumberOfAllowedRedirects (default = 0)
|
|
Some feed urls redirect. The new RSS version can deal with redirects,
|
|
but it must be expressly enabled. For example, you can set
|
|
$wgRSSUrlNumberOfAllowedRedirects = 1;
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.01 2012-02-24 ===
|
|
* "summary" element of ATOM feed items are shown
|
|
which is handled like "description" element of RSS
|
|
* handling of basic HTML layout tags <p> <br> <b> <i> <u> <s> in item description
|
|
|
|
=== Version 2.00 2012-02-24 ===
|
|
* first version which can parse RSS and at least some ATOM feeds
|
|
partial solution of bug 30028 "Error parsing XML for RSS" - improve and harden
|
|
Extension:RSS when parsing differently flavoured RSS feeds and ATOM feeds
|
|
|
|
=== Version 1.94 2012-02-23 ===
|
|
* changed white list definition and behavior:
|
|
|
|
1. changed the name from $wgRSSAllowedFeeds to $wgRSSUrlWhitelist
|
|
2. behavior has been changed
|
|
|
|
the new behavior is:
|
|
$wgRSSUrlWhitelist is empty by default. Since version 1.94 it must be
|
|
expressly set to an array( list-of-comma-separated-allowed-RSS-urls-strings )
|
|
or set to array( "*" ) if you want to allow any url
|
|
|
|
the old behavior was:
|
|
$wgRSSAllowedFeeds was empty by default and empty meant that every Url
|
|
was allowed by default. This has been changed, see new behavior.
|
|
|
|
=== Version 1.92 2012-02-13 ===
|
|
* added optional date= attribute and $wgRSSDateDefaultFormat parameter
|
|
* added optional item-max-length= attribute and $wgRSSItemMaxLength parameter
|
|
fixes bug 30377 add a new parameter to limit the number of characters when
|
|
rendering the channel item <description>
|
|
(update: this fix is reverted, the bug 30377 re-opened with version 2.17)
|
|
|
|
=== Version 1.90 2011-08-15 ===
|
|
* removed parsing of each single channel subelement (item)
|
|
* only the finally constructed feed is sent to the recursive parser:
|
|
in pre-1.9 versions, each channel subelement (item) was sent to the parser
|
|
* [[MediaWiki:Rss-item]] default has channel subelement <description> added
|
|
* Rss template default name has been changed:
|
|
|
|
until 1.8: [[Template:RSSPost]]
|
|
1.9: [[MediaWiki:Rss-feed]], an existing [[Template:RSSPost]]
|
|
takes precedence to be compatible to pre-1.9 versions
|
|
* introducing [[MediaWiki:Rss-feed]] with a meaningful default.
|
|
The channel subelements which make the feed are rendered in this
|
|
new standard layout:
|
|
* <title>
|
|
: <description>
|
|
: <author> <date>
|
|
* There are several ways to customize the final layout of feed items:
|
|
1. Admins can change the [[MediaWiki:Rss-feed]] default page
|
|
2. Users can use the optional template= parameter to tell the extension
|
|
to render the feed with a different layout
|
|
<rss template=Pagename>...</rss> use layout as in [[Template:Pagename]]
|
|
3. <rss template=Namespace:Pagename>...</rss> use [[Namespace:Pagename]]
|
|
|
|
=== Version 1.8 2010-10-19 ===
|
|
* removed dependencies on Snoopy in favor of MediaWiki's internal HttpRequest
|
|
* removed MagpieRSS (perhaps to be replaced later with SimplePie)
|
|
because of concerns about MagpieRSS's security problems and
|
|
lack of maintenance.
|
|
* Added ability to do more with the layout of RSS feeds.
|
|
|
|
=== Version 1.7 2010-07-23 ===
|
|
* cleaned up, included MagpieRSS library
|
|
* put into the WMF subversion repository by Jeroen De Dauw
|
|
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jeroen_De_Dauw
|
|
* i18n file added by TranslateWiki.net people
|
