bear with me ! It's my first real-life commit to gerrit. Wikinaut, 2012-12-30
Catrope squashed these together per Wikinaut's request. List of commit
summaries:
adding the long-wanted date format attribute.
implemented a date format equalising function,
so that dates of RSS feeds are rendered in a common format.
follow-up r111347 : adding escapeTemplateParameter around the user supplied optional date attribute
fix for bug30377 : add a new parameter to limit the number of characters when rendering the channel item <description>
follow-up r111350 . check if optional parameter isset and is_numeric, otherwise limit to the built-in default (30000)
removed a wrong comment regarding PHP 5.3 function date_create_from_format,
which is not suited to auto-detect a time string in any formats - only strtotime() can do it.
follow-up r111350 r111351 . switch replaced by if elseif construct.
name and behaviour change of wgRSSAllowedFeeds towgRSSUrlWhitelist.
The wgRSSUrlWhitelist is _now_ empty by default which was not the case until this version.
Admins who want to allow their users to insert arbitrary feed urls must now denote this expressly
with an asterisk in quotes as whitelist array element.
This is harmonised to the same method as recently introduced in E:EtherpadLite.
The RELEASE NOTES file has been updated, updates to the MediaWiki manual page will follow soon.
increased wgRSSFetchTimeout default from 5 to 15 seconds - many sites are too slow.
v2.00 can parse ATOM feeds, at least some.
This is a major improvement over pre-2.00 versions which only could read and parse RSS feeds but no ATOM feeds.
Version 2.00 begins to keep care of namespaces in the XML.
The parser still leaves room for further improvements.
At least, E:RSS can now read E:WikiArticleFeeds generated RSS _and_ ATOM feeds.
v2.01 fixed ATOM summary element was forgotten to be parsed.
Added handling of basic HTML layout tags (p br b u i s) in feed descriptions,
they are preserved in the wiki output after sanitizing.
improved code legibility function namespacePrefixedQuery
fix for ultra bug 30028 .
The RSS extension can parse RSS and ATOM feeds of different flavours.
The php xml dom xpath query uses now a namespace-safe method to find all elements like item (RSS, RDF)
or entry (ATOM).
Further fixed a hidden problem when the feed url was redirecting,
this threw the Cannot parse RSS for XML error, which is now history.
Introduced a new parameter wgRSSUrlNumberOfAllowedRedirects which defaults to zero,
i.e. no redirects are allowed by default. See Manual page
removed superfluous code for setting userAgent since r112466
function name typo correction. Version number update
fix for bug34763 'RSS feed items (HTML) are not rendered as HTML but htmlescaped';
tolerated controlled regression bug30377 'feed item length limitation',
because this now becomes very tricky when we allow some tags in order to close bug 34763.
add tracking category feature (enabled by default). Each page using this extensions gets
automatically the tracking category with MediaWiki:Rss-tracking-category name (= RSS).
Tracking-Cat-Feature can be disabled, or a different MediaWiki message text can be assigned.
Documentation of the switch is inline and follows on MediaWiki.
follow up r113508 : escaped html tag brackets to make translaters happy
beautifying the tracking category name
adding casts. better ?
removed the redundant code for handling tracking categories.
By using '-' for the message text rss-tracking-category , this can be disabled easily.

|
=== 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 2.18 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 behaviour:
|
|
|
|
1. changed the name from $wgRSSAllowedFeeds to $wgRSSUrlWhitelist
|
|
2. behaviour has been changed
|
|
|
|
the new behaviour 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 behaviour was:
|
|
$wgRSSAllowedFeeds was empty by default and empty meant that every Url
|
|
was allowed by default. This has been changed, see new behaviour.
|
|
|
|
=== 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

**This appears not to be true; I have received numerous emails about it not working with 1.9+. I would love to help debug and fix the extension, but my host has not upgraded to PHP 5 and I'm thus stuck at MediaWiki 1.6.8, so that's as far as this is guaranteed to work properly. If anyone develops a fix, please post a link to it here! —[[User:Alxndr|Alxndr]] <sup>([[User talk:Alxndr|t]])</sup> 02:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

***I just found [http://nako.us/2007/03/16/mediawiki-19-fix-for-wfstrencode/ this fork] that purports to have a fix for the new loss of wfStrEncode(). I can't test it though so can anyone else verify that it works? —[[User:Alxndr|Alxndr]] <sup>([[User talk:Alxndr|t]])</sup> 02:18, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
