Release Notes
=============

These are the release notes for [mediawiki-api](http://addwiki.readthedocs.io/projects/mediawiki-api/).

## Version 0.7.2 (20th November 2017)

* New parent class for all API service classes,
  with protected access on `Service::$api` to make it easier to subclass any services.
* File uploading improved, with the option of [chunked uploading](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Upload#Chunked_uploading).
* Various fixes and improvements to the testing set-up and coding standards.

## Version 0.7.1 (8th March 2017)

* Fixed dependancy on addwiki/mediawiki-datamodel

## Version 0.7 (March 2017)

* Documentation! This package now has a
  [dedicated documentation website](https://addwiki.readthedocs.io/projects/mediawiki-api/).
* A new NamespaceGetter service with which you can get all namespaces,
  or a single namespace by localised name, alias, or canonical name
  ([#39](https://github.com/addwiki/mediawiki-api/pull/39), [#41](https://github.com/addwiki/mediawiki-api/pull/41)).
* A new CategoryTraverser service for descending (all levels of) category trees
  and either retrieving all pages or performing some action on each page.
* A new method to PagePurger for purging multiple pages at once ([#36](https://github.com/addwiki/mediawiki-api/pull/36)). 
* All methods of the PageListGetter now continue their queries where the first request doesn't retrieve the whole result set
  ([#31](https://github.com/addwiki/mediawiki-api/pull/31)).
* Bug [#40](https://github.com/addwiki/mediawiki-api/pull/40) fixed with `RevisionSaver::save()` overwriting EditInfo if null.
* Integration tests: more documentation about how to run integration tests locally,
  and the tests are running on Travis CI.
