Commit summary for MediaWiki.r66638: * Remove compatibility code for pre-5.1 versions of PHP * Re-connect to db after error in strencode() QChris's comment: The log message says to remove "pre-5.1 versions of PHP", but kills a guard for 5.0.13 of /MySQL/. Current INSTALL file lists >= MySQL-4.0.14 as requirement. So for users of MySQL between 4.0.14 and 5.0.(1)3, this yields an additional connection attempt. But I assume the code is not executed often enough and the user base for those versions is too small to be relevant ;) (If there are relevant users for those versions, the MySQL ChangeLog reports the change in default reconnection settings in version 5.0.3, not 5.0.13; just in case some problems arise between those versions) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
