Inconsistent image size properties for images of type "frame" (#16765)

Internal Server Error when saving the page due to EditNotify extension (#18114)

If a user was subscribed to receive notifications for individual namespaces/categories and deactivated the setting, saving the page that sends out a notifcation reported an error. This is now fixed.

The button for the notification overview was visible for users who were not logged in. This button is now visible only for logged-in users.

Changing the table style in VisualEditor is not always applied (#18176)

Setting the table style from the table properties dialog sometimes had no effect. Also, after changing the table style, the original value was still selected, even after it was changed. This is now fixed.

Now the button is only visible if the extension Echo is available on the wiki.

When exporting a book to PDF, all links in the book appear as external (#18224)

When exporting a book to PDF, every link to another wiki page was treated as extenal link and opened the target page in the browser. Links to pages that are contained in the PDF itself now jump to the page in the PDF instead of opening it externally.

Checklist is not saved when options are set (#18252)

Checklist of type list was not saved when there were additional options like color styles. Now cecklists get saved even with colors. The page gets saved as a new version which needs approval when working with FlaggedRevs.

Special characters in a book name are encoded incorrectly in PDF export (#18255)

When exporting a book to PDF, the file name did not show special characters. All special characters are now exported correctly.

Section identifiers are not persisted to the URL (#18266)

Watchlist appears empty in some cases (#18420)

VisualEditor not completely visible in some resolutions in mobile view (#18476)

Icon for editing/creating pages in topbar is enabled even if user does not have permissions. (#18537)

The button for editing and creating pages was clickable for users without permissions to perform the action. Users could not perform the action, however. Now the button is enabled only if a user has the necessary rights.

Fixed missing extjs dependency.

Changelog

Error when trying to save redirect pages in VisualEditor (#12766)

NamespaceManager does not allow adding multiple namespaces without reloading the page (#13736)

After adding a new namespace in the NamespaceManager, the dialog remained "disabled" and reloading the page was necessary to continue. The state is now reset properly after an "add"-action.

Editing talk namespaces in Namespace manager destroys the following namespace (#13862)

Talk namespaces were not recognized as such, resulting in NS_talk_talk names. Pages within the namespaces could no longer be accessed. This is now fixed. We also disabled FlaggedRevs and ReadConfirmation for talk namespaces.

Meaningless options for sorting offered in SearchCenter options (#14411)

Search sorting options had entries for entitydata that did not have any functionality. They have been removed.

Timeout too short for certain API calls in WikiExplorer (#14917)

In wikis with many articles or complex data structures, the call for data in WikiExplorer took too long, resulting in a timeout. We raised the limit to 30 minutes, effectively disabling the timeout here. Data should now be presented even in very large wikis.

All chapters of a book are shown on the same level in PDF table of contents (#15412)

In an exported PDF, the table of contents showed all entries on the same level, even if there were hierarchies. The hierarchy now shows up correctly in the PDF navigation.

When migrating from BlueSpice 2, rating settings were not converted to BlueSpice 3 so tht NamespaceManager was not able to change the settings. There is now a maintenance script, which is also executed on update, to fix this issue.

Create new page from full text search with a namespace filter set ignores the namespace (#16258)

When a page was created from a search with a namespace filter, the page was created in the main namespace. Now, the page is created in the namespace the filter is set for.

TagCloud cannot be used with InsertMagic in VisualEditor (#16861)

SocialEntity entries show up in standard logs and managers (#17073)

Since SocialEntity pages are used to store data, they showed up in several logs and managers. However, this is not neccessary, as they are only storing data for the timeline feature. We now hide these pages in standard views.

Font sizes in tables varied between standard cell and paragraph in cell constructs. The standard cell font size was aligned with the paragraph font size.

The option to duplicate a page was not available in many namespaces where it would make sense. It is now available in all content pages.

Unexpected update of links in duplicated books (#17390)
