Hi,
We are currently in the process of converting the Math renderer from
JS to PHP. In this context, we deal with large (50Mb) files for
testing https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T315223. While the test file
was part of the JS source code repo, we are unsure if this is also the
best practice for PHP code, as I don't remember having seen that in
other repositories such as core.
If you have experience with this, please let me know.
Thank you

Hello,
Two changes is being made on MediaWiki databases:
*First:*
We are reworking how extensions manage their database schema. The idea is
to basically deprecate LoadExtensionSchemaUpdates hook[1] and replace it
with structured values in extension.json.
This is needed to avoid arbitrary php code execution during database update
which can cause problems and was a contributing factor in one of our major
outages [2]. The other reason for this change is to be able to wire
abstract schema of extensions to core so it can be tested in CI (for
example for having a valid json, having prefixes set correctly, etc.) You
can see a POC of that in [3]
Given that once the change is merged to core, breaking changs to extension
registry schema would require a lot of work (updating the maniphest version
and so on), it's better to get it right before merge.
I have proposed something like [4]. For any feedback on this, please go to
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237839,
*Second:*
We are working to provide a replacement for raw SQL for query conditions.
When the query condition is exact equality condition (e.g. rev_id = 123),
you don't need to provide raw SQL but for most other cases you need to
either provide it or build it via IDatabase methods. For example:
'rev_timestamp > ' . $db->addQuotes( $db->timestamp( $since ) ). You can
see an example of this in [5] (being changed to something much better via a
newly introduced method).
This is not optimal and not very developer friendly, to solve that, we are
proposing to have something like ExpressionBuilder::greater(
'rev_timestamp', $db->timestamp( $since ) ) supported in
SelectQueryBuilder::where().
You can see the POC in [6]. For any feedback on this please go to

Hi all,
On Thursday we will be issuing a security and maintenance release to all
supported branches of MediaWiki.
The new releases will be:
- 1.35.8
- 1.37.5
- 1.38.3
This will resolve three low priority issues in MediaWiki core along with bug
fixes included for maintenance reasons. This includes various patches for
PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1 support.
We will make the fixes available in the respective release branches (plus
1.39 which is currently in release candidate status) and master in git.
Tarballs will be available for the above mentioned point releases as well.
A summary of some of the security fixes that have gone into non-bundled
MediaWiki extensions will also follow later.
As a reminder, 1.37 is due to become end of life (EOL) in November 2022.
1.37.5 is expected to be the last release for this branch. It is recommended
to upgrade to 1.38, or to 1.39 (the next LTS after 1.35) due to be released
in November 2022.
