1.2.0 - stable release (April 2018) for MediaWiki 1.27-1.30

Note: this version requires MediaWiki 1.27+. MediaWiki 1.23 is no longer supported.
Note: please run update.php (there are changes to DB schema).

Changes in Moderation 1.2.0 since Moderation 1.1.0

Features:

• Support MediaWiki 1.30.
• Support uploads via API and MultiUpload-like extensions in MediaWiki 1.28+.

  $wgModerationIgnoredInNamespaces and $wgModerationOnlyInNamespaces.

UI changes:

Security updates:

  users, because this action can't be intercepted by Moderation.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed situation when JobQueueError (caused by another extension) resulted in
  duplicate rows on Special:Moderation.
• Fixed "404 Not Found" not being sent for missing stash images (MW 1.28+).
• In $wgModerationUseAjax mode, Preview is no longer treated as one-click action.
• Field mod_title now uses underscores (as other MediaWiki tables), not spaces.

Documentation:

• Explained each configuration variable in extension.json.

Refactoring, performance optimizations:

• Removed legacy code for MediaWiki 1.23-1.26.

Test results

This version is stable and has passed all unit tests (with MediaWiki 1.30, 1.29, 1.28, 1.27),
as well as Selenium tests of MobileFrontend and VisualEditor*.

(*) NOTE: Extension:VisualEditor itself is under active development and its internals often undergo breaking changes. If you use VisualEditor with MediaWiki >=1.30, you should use the newest version of Moderation, not this release.

This version no longer supports obsolete MediaWiki 1.23.
If you are still at MediaWiki 1.23, please use the latest 1.1.0.x release (or the top of REL1_23 branch).

Versions 1.1.0.x are bugfix releases that still support MediaWiki 1.23.

Unlike Moderation 1.2.0, this release has no changes except those needed for security.
