New configuration variable $wgPreloadJavaScriptMwUtil has been introduced for this
(set to false by default for new installations). Set to true if your wiki has a large
amount of user/site scripts that are lacking dependency information. In the short to
medium term these user/site scripts should be fixed by adding the used modules to the
dependencies in the module registry and/or wrapping them in a callback to mw.loader.using.

* (bug 32183) remove the client-* classes added from user-agent-sniffing onto
the <html> element.
* (bug 29912) Unit tests break if parsertest tables are still present.
* (bug 31694) During installation, tabbing order (cursor focus) goes to logo
instead of 'continue'.
* (bug 29102) Upgrade fails "Unknown character set: 'mysql4".
* (bug 31990) justify paragraphs pref adds extra space to category listing.
* (bug 20148) Better title for [[Special:Disambiguations]] page.

* (bug 31822) Error during upgrade due to output buffer reset in stdout.
=== Configuration changes in 1.18 ===
* The WantedPages::getSQL hook has been removed and replaced with
WantedPages::getQueryInfo. This may break older extensions.
* The SkinTemplateBuildContentActionUrlsAfterSpecialPage,
SkinTemplateContentActions and SkinTemplateTabs hooks have been removed in
favor of SkinTemplateNavigation and SkinTemplateNavigation::SpecialPage.
* $wgUseCombinedLoginLink controls whether to output a combined
login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login
and create account links.
* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in
$wgValidSkinNames but now the value. This means for
$wgValidSkinNames["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try
loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook.
* $wgMaxUploadSize may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit
per upload type.
* $wgAPICacheHelp added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set
$wgAPICacheHelpTimeout = 0;
* OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed() no longer returns false when scripts are allowed
by the page, but $wgAllowUserJs is set to false.
* Pure "Skin" class based custom skins are no longer supported, all custom skins
should be put together using SkinTemplate and BaseTemplate or QuickTemplate.
* The transliteration for passwords in case they were migrated from an old
Latin-1 install (previous to MediaWiki 1.5) is now only done for wikis with
$wgLegacyEncoding set.
* (bug 27508) Add $wgSVGMetadataCutoff to limit the maximum amount of an SVG we
look at when finding metadata to prevent excessive resource usage.
* $wgSysopUserBans and $wgSysopRangeBans (deprecated in 1.17) are now removed.
Use $wgBlockCIDRLimit = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the
same functionality as $wgSysopRangeBans; you can use the BlockIp hook to
replicate $wgSysopUserBans functionality.
* The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box
makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation"
and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk
edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block
anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings
remain the same.
* Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which
will probably break screen-scraping bots.
* (bug 26866) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default.
$wgUseTrackbacks is already false by default.
* (bug 17009) the hiddenStructure CSS class, a highly hackish way of at least
*appearing* to hide article elements, has been removed. Use the
ParserFunctions extension to actually remove unwanted elements from the
output.
* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable
math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php:
require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php";
* $wgProfiler is now a configuration array, see StartProfiler.sample for
details.
* $wgProfiling has been removed.
* The spyc library is now no longer included in phase3.
* (bug 28343) Unused preferences contextlines/contextchars have been removed
* $wgSkinExtensionFunctions has been removed. Use $wgExtensionFunctions instead.
* $wgProto has been removed. You now only need to set $wgServer to change the
URL protocol.
* $wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups (deprecated in 1.13) has been removed.
* $wgInputEncoding and $wgOutputEncoding (deprecated in 1.5) have now been removed.
* $wgAllowUserSkin (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed.
* $wgExtraRandompageSQL (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed.
* LogReader and LogViewer classes (deprecated in 1.14) have now been removed.
* (bug 26033) Added $wgArticleCountMethod to select the method to use to say
whether a page is an article or not. $wgUseCommaCount is now deprecated.
