MediaWiki 1.43 is the new Long-Term Support (LTS) version of MediaWiki. The 1.43.0 stable release was tagged on 21 December 2024.
Karsten Hoffmeyer of ProWiki wrote a good summary about key features and changes. For full details see the Release notes on-wiki or the raw text version in the RELEASE-NOTES-1.43 file in the source code.
Upgrade requirement notes[edit]
- The OpenSSL PHP extension is required.
- If you use the Linter extension (which helps you to avoid syntax problems in your wikitext) pay special attention: while
update.phpwill handle updates to the Linter database table with two migration scripts, they can take a long time to run. To avoid downtime, you can run the scripts independent of the code upgrade - but if you want to do that then you must already be running (upgrade first to) v1.42.
Upgrade notes for 1.40[edit]
See ProWiki's write-up at https://www.pro.wiki/articles/mediawiki-140-is-new and the on-wiki Release notes for 1.40 for full details.
The Renameuser extension is now merged into core - so it must be removed if you use it in REL1_39
There are newly bundled extensions: Echo, DiscussionTools, Linter, LoginNotify, and Thanks.
Maintenance scripts are now called through maintenance/run.php e.g. maintenance/run.php update not maintenance/update.php
Configure your webserver to emit the HTTP header X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff for your wiki's /images directory.
New user-facing features in 1.40[edit]
- Special:Search can now show thumbnails for results for titles outside NS_FILE. This is controlled via the new onSearchResultProvideThumbnail hook.
- A new preference ('search-thumbnail-extra-namespaces') to allow users to control whether to show more thumbnails (per
$wgThumbnailNamespaces) - (T324910) On pages using multi-content revisions, the raw content of a specific slot can be retrieved using the action=raw&slot=<role-name> query parameters.
- (T313804) The preferences page now provides a search bar to find preferences, regardless of the tab on which they appear.
