All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

Changes that are required to maintain compatibility with new versions of MediaWiki are not considered breaking changes.

[1.3.0] - 2023-07-20

Fix login for private wikis. Issue #17

[1.2.0] - 2020-07-03

Changed

As recommended in the MediaWiki API documentation, large API requests (more than 8000 characters) will be sent as multipart/form-data instead of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

[1.1.0] - 2020-01-10

Added

Allow overriding the *http.Client client used by Client.

[1.0.3] - 2018-08-03

Fixed

Get page functions no longer treat warnings as fatal errors. Return pages along with warnings instead of only returning the warnings if there are any. Fixes issue #9.

[1.0.2] - 2018-08-02

Fixed

Add "rvslots": "main" to the get page (prop=revisions) requests. This change affects GetPageByID, GetPageByName, GetPagesByID, and GetPagesByName. The rvslots parameter is required by MediaWiki 1.32.0-wmf.15, which returns a warning if it is not used. Earlier versions of MediaWiki will return an "Unrecognized parameter: rvslots." warning when the parameter is used.

[1.0.1] - 2017-11-19

Fixed

Add canonical import path cgt.name/pkg/go-mwclient/params to params package.

[1.0.0] - 2017-01-04

Added

OAuth authentication
Use version 2 of the MediaWiki JSON API by default.
New() sets a 30 second HTTP timeout on the underlying HTTP client. Can be overridden with the SetHTTPTimeout() method.
New method AddRange() on params.Values for adding multiple values at once.

Changed

New() no longer returns an error if the userAgent parameter is empty. If empty, the default user agent will be used by itself.
Login() and Logout() no longer modify the Client's API assertion level. If assertion is desired, the user must set it manually.
Logout() returns an error if the logout request fails.

Fixed

Fix API error parsing in Login().
