  • Accept non-string values in cookies, fixing a regression since 4.5. Merges [38430] to the 4.6 branch. [38461] #37768

  HTTP API

  • Revert changes to wp_parse_url() while PHP 5.2 errors are investigated. [38456] #36356

  General

  • revert [38386], functions.php was probably too tempting for some people to not load by itself. [38469] #36335
  • revert [38467], wp_is_IE() should not exist. [38468] #37699
  • use a new function, wp_is_IE(), instead of the $is_IE global in a number of places. [38467] #37699

  Login and Registration

  • Change login label to Username or Email Address for clarity. [38477] #37871

  Media

  • Sanitize upload filename. [38538] #

  Menus

  • Correct the docblocks for Walker_Nav_Menu, wp_nav_menu(), and walk_nav_menu_tree(). See #35206, #37770 [38559] #24587, #35206, #37770
  • Add white space option to wp_nav_menu() and wp_list_pages(). [38523] #35206

  Multisite

  • Deprecate wp_get_network(). [38515] #37553
  • use get_current_site() instead of $GLOBALS['current_site'] (stop yelling!) in a few remaining spots. [38458] #37699
  • use get_current_blog_id() where applicable, in lieu of plucking the $blog_id global from outer space. [38457] #37699

  Post Thumbnails

  • Prevent post thumbnail previews from spilling into other images. Merge of [38433] to the 4.6 branch. [38476] #37697

  Press This

  • don’t check for already-hoisted global in press-this.php. [38466] #37699
  • in wp_ajax_press_this_save_post() and wp_ajax_press_this_add_category(), don’t check for a global instance. WP_Press_This is a Controller, but not really a Singleton. This also keeps it from being a pluggable class, which it is right now. [38465] #37699
  • in get_shortcut_link(), just check a class constant on WP_Press_This instead of instantiating the object and reading an instance prop. [38462] #37699

  Query

  • ‘orderby=include’ should support comma-separated lists. [30052] assumed that ‘include’ would be an array. [38500] #37904
  • Use AND in a SQL query rather than &&. [38491] #37903
  • r38356, you were not long for this world. [38471] #37830
  • in wp_old_slug_redirect(), use get_query_var() instead of importing and touching the global $wp_query directly. [38463] #37699

  Role/Capability

  • Correct the multisite cap tests after [38521]. See #32394 [38522] #35614, #32394
  • Split meta and primitive capabilities in the helper functions in the roles and capability tests so primitive capability tests can be made more accurate. See #32394 [38521] #35614, #32394
  • Add two missing meta capabilities to the caps tests. [38482] #32394

  Script Loader

  • Correct default value for $src in wp_enqueue_script() and wp_enqueue_style(). [38519] #37770
  • Close the tag in wp_resource_hints(). Merge of [38443] and [38447] to the 4.6 branch. [38473] #37800

  Shortcodes

  • Add the pre_do_shortcode_tag filter. [38506] #37906

  Smilies

  • Add the smilies filter. [38504] #35905

  Taxonomy

  • Introduce some taxonomy capability tests in preparation for introducing more fine grained capabilities for terms. [38516] #35614
  • Introduce wp_insert_term_data and wp_update_term_data filters for altering term data before it is inserted/updated in the database. [38484] #22293
  • Correct the function description for wp_ajax_add_link_category(). [38490] #37770
  • Update various docs for parameters which are now WP_Term objects. See #14162 [38489] #37770, #14162

  Template

  • After [38486], actually use the $description variable in get_the_archive_description(). [38493] #37259
  • In get_the_archive_description(), add support for author archives. [38486] #37259

  Text Changes

  • Improve Error messages in XML-RPC [38509] #37792
  • Improve the timezone setting description in General Settings. Makes more clear users can set either a city or a UTC timezone offset. [38483] #34789

  TinyMCE

  • fix toolbars alignment in RTL. Merge of [38349] to the 4.6 branch. [38488] #37760
  • change the default font for the vi locale to the same stack as he_IL. Merge of [38427] to the 4.6 branch. [38472] #37755

  Toolbar

  • Add unit tests for edit links. [38508] #22247

  Upgrade/Install

  • After [37687], fix the number of params passed to the upgrade hooks. Merge of [38415] to the 4.6 branch. [38475] #37731
  • Sanitize file name in File_Upload_Upgrader. [38524] #

  Upload

  • Correct encoding issue in swfupload.js, introduced in [29479]. [38517] #29199

  Users

  • After [33766], don’t reset the password when clicking “Show Password” and then “Cancel” on Add New User screen. [38494] #37902, #33419

  Pass $profileuser parameter to user_profile_picture_description filter on “Edit User” screen. [38481] #37379

  Widgets

  • Make the Delete/Remove links red. For consistency and accessibility, all the UI controls that perform destructive actions should be red. [38536] #35622, #37016

  Week in Core, August 23 – 30, 2016 

  Welcome back the latest issue of Week in Core, covering changes [38346-38455]. Here are the highlights:

  • 110 commits
  • 62 contributors
  • 111 tickets created
  • 20 tickets reopened
  • 128 tickets closed

  Ticket numbers based on trac timeline for the period above. The following is a summary of commits, organized by component.

  Code Changes

  Accessibility

  • Hide the “No activity yet” smiley from assistive technologies. [38448] #37511
  • Improve the file upload inputs styling [38435] #35552

  Admin

  • Allow WP_Screen to be checked via autoload in convert_to_screen(). [38414] #36335

  Administration

  • Underline links in the admin footer for better accessibility. [38347] #37529

  Bootstrap

  • Check that ini_get_all() exists before calling it, allows us to work around hosts who disable the function for “security purposes”. [38431] #37680
  • Fix failing external HTTP tests after [38411] [38416] #36335
  • After r38409 and r38410, revert r38402 which reverted r38399 [38411] #36335
  • Run composer install after r38409. [38410] #36335
  • Move composer.{json|lock} into src. [38409] #36335
  • Revert [38399] as it’s broken /build/ and subsequently core.svn.wordpress.org [38402] #36335
  • Autoload classes using a Composer-generated PHP 5.2-compatible Autoloader [38399] #36335
  • Exclude more files from the autoloader.classmap in composer.json. [38395] #36335
  • Add composer.lock and src/wp-vendor files. Nothing is using this code yet, just going through the motions. Ignore the files in src/wp-vendor/composer that will explode in PHP 5.2. [38394] #36335
  • Run composer require xrstf/composer-php52 to get the updated suggested version. Change the vendor-dir to wp-vendor. [38393] #36335
  • Exclude some files from the Composer autoload setup via exclude-from-classmap. [38391] #36335
  • Load option.php in wp-settings.php, not in functions.php. [38386] #36335
  • Add a composer.json file to the project. No code relies on it (yet), and no vendor dir is checked in (yet). No autoloader is being used (yet). Taking this first step will hopefully encourage the perfectionists of our world to scrutinize each line [38384] #36335

  Build/Test Tools

  • Add support for is_front_page() to assertQueryTrue() and assert that all the tested conditions are supported by the method. [38405] #37849
  • Remove many unnecessary calls to rand_str() which can, in theory, fail at random. Static strings are much more appropriate. [38382] #37371
  • Ensure the Tests_Query_Conditionals tests set up the environment correctly before re-registering initial taxonomies. [38407] #37851
  • Require Basic_Object and Basic_Subclass files earlier in call stack [38445] #37523
  • Add docblocks for Basic_Object and Basic_Subclass classes. [38444] #37523
  • Use shared fixture in comment_exists() tests. [38372] #37842

  Comments

  • Don’t do direct SQL query when fetching decendants [38446] #37696
  • Add support for all HTTP protocol versions when returning a 405 from wp-comments-post.php. [38432] #37863

  Cron

  • Clarify descriptions for Cron API functions. [38357] #37769

  Customize

  • Allow users to more seamlessly create page-based nav menus during customization [38436] #34923
  • Circumvent the customizer attempting to preview links to static assets (such as uploaded images) [38396] #37828

  Database

  • Don’t force an unsupported character set that previously would’ve silently failed [38441-38442] #37689
  • Ensure that variables are defined correctly [38439-38440] #37683

  Docs

  • Alignment after [38369]. [38370] #37770
  • Correct various documentation around object and stdClass types. [38369] #37770
  • Add a missing parenthesis in an example in the DocBlock for wp_redirect(). [38350] #37770
  • Improve the docs for the_title() and make them more consistent with the_title_attribute(). [38348] #37732

  Editor

  • Fix jumpiness on pressing backspace and delete in the Text editor. [38426] #37690
  • Use Beacon API over sync request [38425] #
  • Improve word-count.js documentation. [38358] #37718

  Embeds

  • Wp-settings.php loads class-wp-embed.php, which currently produces side effects. Move the global instantiation to wp-settings.php. WP_Embed is then in a file by itself. [38362] #37827
  • Add a missing regex delimiter for Facebook URLs. [38368] #34737
  • Add support for embedding Facebook posts and videos via oEmbed. [38367] #34737
  • Many of our oEmbed providers now default to HTTPS embeds, redirect to the HTTPS oEmbed endpoint, or have complete support for HTTPS even if they don’t default to HTTPS [38366] #28507
  • Always use the HTTPS endpoint for YouTube embeds. The scheme parameter is no longer required as all YouTube assets now use HTTPS. [38365] #36274, #28507

  FTP

  • Ensure that there is only one class named ftp, which is what is expected in the loading of this arcane library. This ensures that an autoload generator, something along the lines of Composer, won’t hiccup when it gets to these files. [38380] #36335

  Feed

  • Move ‘WP_Feed_Cache’, ‘WP_Feed_Cache_Transient’, WP_SimplePie_File and WP_SimplePie_Sanitize_KSES into their own files via svn cp. If we move forard with autoloading, class-feed.php is useless. We could even remove it now, and just load these new files in wp-settings.php. That can be decided post-mortem. class-feed.php is an interesting name: there is no Feed or WP_Feed class. [38354] #37827

  Formatting

  • Add a parameter to wp_send_json_error(), wp_send_json_success(), and wp_send_json() for specifying the HTTP response code [38422] #35666
  • For a performance boost in remove_accents(), convert chr() calls to string literals. [38359] #37643

  General

  • AJAX actions for List Tables do not need to declare global $wp_list_table. List tables on admin screens are in global scope, and they contain hooks that don’t pass the the list table as context, hence using globals there so that functions can import them. That problem does not exist in the AJAX actions, which are virtually impossible to hook into as is. [38455] #37699
  • Move _WP_List_Table_Compat into its own file. [38392] #37827
  • There is no good reason for class-wp-site-icon.php to drop a global instance of itself whenever the file is loaded. The lone use of the global instance of WP_Site_Icon is in an AJAX action that provides virtually no way to override – the file is loaded immediately before the global is used. [38355] #37699
  • Correct the documentation for the wp_dropdown_users_args filter description and its parameters. [38406] #37770
  • After r38303, replace usage of global $_wp_additional_image_sizes with wp_get_additional_image_sizes(). [38383] #37699
  • Move WP_Session_Tokens and WP_User_Meta_Session_Tokens into their own files via svn cp. If we move forard with autoloading, session.php is useless. We could even remove it now, and just load these new files in wp-settings.php. That can be decided post-mortem. [38353] #37827
  • Move WP_Text_Diff_Renderer_inline (behold that lowercase “i”) and WP_Text_Diff_Renderer_Table into their own files via svn cp. [38352] #37827
  • Break up class-IXR.php into individual class files. [38389] #37827
  • After [38399], update the .gitignore file accordingly. [38401] #36335

  HTTP API

  • Accept non-string values in cookies, fixing a regression since 4.5. [38430] #37768
  • Handle an edgecase within the URI parsing library included in Requests, where if a double slash exists at the start of the path the URL is passed to cURL malformed. [38429] #37733
  • Separate the test for wp_parse_url() with -1 as its component into a separate test, so the remaining tests can use strict type checking. This helps avoid gotches with the potentially empty values (ie. null) that we’re testing for. [38453] #36356
  • The tests for wp_parse_url() can’t be strict on type because this causes the tests to fail on PHP 5.2 which, bizarrely, returns the results of parse_url() (when called with a $component parameter) in a different order to later PHP versions. [38452] #36356
  • Prevent a fatal error on PHP < 5.4.7 due to changes introduced in [38449]. [38450] #36356
  • Add a $component parameter to wp_parse_url() to give it parity with PHP’s parse_url() function. [38449] #36356

  I18N

  • Correct various instances of incorrect usage of esc_attr_e(). [38424] #37457Iimprove accuracy of docs. [38360] #37585
  • After r38364, check that global $wp_locale is an instance of WP_Locale before calling ->is_rtle() in is_rtl(). [38438] #37827
  • Retire another remaining wp-includes/locale.php require, and instead load the required WP_Locale class directly. [38404] #37827
  • Move is_rtl() to l10n.php (which loads way earlier). Load WP_Locale file in wp-settings.php. Retire wp-includes/locale.php – it only loaded the class and the one function, is_rtl(). If someone loaded this file for fun somewhere else, it would be a fatal error. [38364] #37827

  Load

  • Move WP_MatchesMapRegex into its own file. [38376] #37827
  • Remove class-feed.php (There is no class named Feed or WP_Feed, it just loads other classes) and, instead, move the require calls to the only place they are ever included: inside fetch_feed(). This simplifies the include path. [38374] #36335
  • Remove session.php and, instead, move the 2 require calls to wp-settings.php. This simplifies the include path. [38373] #36335
  • Load class-phpass.php (PasswordHash class) early in wp-settings.php, instead of require_once()’ing it in several places. [38371] #36335
  • Move is_wp_error() to load.php so that WP_Error is in a file by itself. [38363] #37827

  Media

  • Add a $wp_error parameter to wp_insert_attachment() to give it parity with wp_insert_post(). [38408] #37813

  Multisite

  • Move get_current_site() to load.php so that it can be used in more places, instead of importing global $current_site. [38388] #37699

  OEmbed

  • Add unit tests. @group external-oembed is not run by default. [38454] #32360
  • Move _wp_oembed_get_object() to embed.php, where all of the other embed functions live. WP_oEmbed is then in a file by itself. Load class-oembed.php in wp-settings.php and remove extraneous include calls. [38361] #37827

  Permalinks

  • Correct an invalid peramstructure tag in a test. [38417] #37858

  Post Thumbnails

  • Prevent post thumbnail previews from spilling into other images [38433] #37697

  Posts, Post Types

  • Introduce a missing private query var that should have been introduced as part of #15459 [38451] #15459, #34982
  • Don’t improperly cast IDs when fetching post, user, or term objects. [38381] #37738

  Press This

  • The file for the WP_Press_This class should not produce side effects. Similar to what we did in r38355 for WP_Site_Icon, drop the instances of global instantiation for $wp_press_this via loading the file. The variable can be set inline when necessary. In most of those places, if the global is already set, the file does not load and stomp it currently. [38397] #37699

  Query

  • Add and improve tests for query conditionals on the front page and home page. [38413] #37851
  • Collapse several of the is_* methods using __call(). Add method annotations. [38356] #37830
  • Move WP_Query into its own file via svn cp. [38351] #37827

  Role/Capability

  • Only users who can manage options should be able to trash/delete the page for posts or the front page, as they are the only users who can restore it or subsequently alter the “Front page displays” setting. [38378] #37580
  • Set a property, $db, on WP_Roles to reduce global imports. [38387] #37699

  Script Loader

  • Properly adjust tests missed in [38443]. [38447] #37800
  • Close the ` tag inwp_resource_hints()`. [38443] #37800
  • Autoload in load-{scripts|styles}.php. [38412] #36335
  • Move _WP_Dependency into its own file. [38375] #37827

  Security

  • Return a 403 instead of a 200 HTTP status when check_ajax_referer() fails [38421] #36362
  • Trigger a _doing_it_wrong() when check_ajax_referer() is called without its first parameter. This brings it inline with check_admin_referer(). [38420] #36361

  Taxonomy

  • Remove unnecessary uniqueness check in get_attachment_taxonomies(). [38437] #37368
  • Eliminate unnecessary variable in WP_Term_Query. [38377] #37544

  Themes

  • Correct the type for the $name parameter of the get_header, get_footer, get_sidebar, and get_template_part_{$slug} hooks. [38434] #37770
  • Correct the list of possible values for the dynamic portion of the {$type}_template_hierarchy and {$type}_template filters. [38428] #14310
  • Introduce tests for the theme template hierarchy. [38419] #14310
  • Update filter names in the inline documentation for the get_*_template() functions. [38418] #14310, #37770
  • Remove failing tests introduced in [38390]. [38403] #14310
  • Begin introducing unit tests for the expected theme template hierarchy. More to come. [38390] #14310
  • Make the template hierarchy for a given template type filterable [38385] #14310

  TinyMCE

  • Change the default font for the vi locale to the same stack as he_IL. [38427] #37755
  • Fix toolbars alignment in RTL. [38349] #37760

  Unit tests

  • Enforce $args object in wp_nav_menu() & Walker_Nav_Menu [38400] #24587

  Upgrade/Install

  Week in Core, August 16 – 23, 2016 

  Welcome back the latest issue of Week in Core, covering changes [38274-38345]. Here are the highlights:

  • 72 commits
  • 40 contributors
  • 100 tickets created
  • 9 tickets reopened
  • 96 tickets closed

  Ticket numbers based on trac timeline for the period above. The following is a summary of commits, organized by component.

  Code Changes

  Administration

  • Allow for .nav-tab-wrapper class to be used on elements other than h3 to increase flexibility for custom settings pages. [38306] #37257

  AJAX

  • add a new function, wp_doing_ajax(), which can replace… (wait for it…) DOING_AJAX checks via the constant. [38334] #25669

  Bootstrap/Load

  • Include Plugin API via require_once. [38282] #37707

  Cache

  • in WP_Object_Cache, $cache_misses is public, but $cache_hits is private. They should both be public, because they’re useful for debugging purposes. [38335] #37726

  Comments

  • in wp_handle_comment_submission(), $_wp_unfiltered_html_comment is passed as part of $comment_data, but is not used locally. [38313] #37771
  • in WP_Comment_Query::fill_descendants(), continue if there is an empty array in the loop. [38298] #37416
  • in WP_Comment_Query::fill_descendants(), compute count() in the first for expression so that it does not run on each iteration. [38297] #37416

  Customize

  • Ensure a newly-added custom link nav menu item has the appropriate CSS class names. [38301] #37575

  Database

  • WP_Network, WP_Network_Query, and WP_Site_Query call wpdb::_escape(), thus requiring it to be public. It previously had no access modifier. _ at the beginning of a method, believe it or not, does not enforce visibility constraints. [38314] #37771

  Docs

  • Update jsdoc in customize-nav-menus.js to remove references to Menu Customizer plugin. Also fix @param for updateAssignedLocationsInSectionTitle. [38300] #37520
  • Update outdated phpdoc for WP_Customize_Manager::validate_setting_values() to reflect changes in [37942]. [38299] #37247, #37759
  • Correct usage examples for wpdb::prepare(), which should not be called statically. [38289] #37744
  • Fix typo in load_plugin_textdomain() parameter description. [38284] #37318

  • Update Minified version of jquery.masonry.js [38276] #37720, #37666

  General

  • remove variable set needlessly in wp_check_jsonp_callback(). [38308] #37771

  Hooks

  • Standardize naming of dynamic hooks to use interpolation vs concatenation. [38307] #37748

  HTTP

  • in WP_HTTP_Response, the @param declarations for $status and $headers were swapped. Let us correct this. [38315] #37771

  I18N

  • Add translator comments for strings in wp-includes/functions.wp-scripts.php. [38345] #37803

  • Allow for WordPress Plugin/Theme Directory URLs to be localized. [38325] #37501

  • Replace unnecessary context with a translator comment for %s Sites string in network_step1(). [38323] #37777
  • Replace unnecessary context with a translator comment for %s KB string on Network Settings screen. [38322] #37496

  Mail

  • If post-by-email functionality is disabled, wp-mail.php should return a 403 Forbidden status code instead if 500 Internal Server Error. [38332] #37572
  • Don’t set Sender field when setting From. Merges [38286] to the 4.6 branch. [38287] #37736

  • remove unnecessary variable assignment in gallery_shortcode(). [38309] #37771

  • fix unit test after [38296].
  • use wp_get_attachment_metadata() instead of get_post_meta() where appropriate. [38296] #36246
  • wp_get_attachment_link() fails to output text for non-images if the attachment post doesn’t have a title and $text (argument #5) was not passed to the func. In this case, use the filename. [38295] #5, #37343
  • when calling pathinfo(), also pass a PATHINFO_* constant to avoid array notices for unset keys. [38294] #37608
  • Add some docs to media-gallery.js RIP. [38293] #37717

  Multisite

  • Fix copy/paste issue in id attribute for a dismissible message on Sites screen. [38305] #37764

  Query

  • use correct description in the docblock for $number in WP_Comment_Query, WP_Network_Query, and WP_Site_Query. [38336] #37621
  • Non-scalar and negative values for ‘p’ should always result in a 404. [38288] #33372
  • use composition for $db in WP_Date_Query, removes need to import global $wpdb in multiple methods. [38280] #37699
  • use composition for $db in WP_Query, removes need to import global $wpdb in multiple methods. [38279] #37699
  • add a protected field, $db, (composition, as it were) to WP_*_Query classes to hold the value for the database abstraction, instead of importing the global $wpdb into every method that uses it. Reduces the number of global imports by 32. [38275] #37699

  REST API

  • remove unnecessary variable assignments in rest_handle_options_request(). [38310] #37771

  Taxonomy

  • in get_terms(), do not assume that legacy args are being passed when the only params are top-level meta_* values. Add keys in WP_Term_Query::__construct(). Adds unit tests. [38337] #37568
  • remove unnecessary break in WP_Term::__get(). [38312] #37771
  • In is_object_in_term(), return error object rather than caching it. [38277] #32044, #36814, #37721

  Tests

  • Fix incorrect variable name from [38330]. [38331] #37630

  • Move some utility classes to their own files. [38285] #37523

  • Introduce tests for get_object_taxonomies(). [38290] #37368

  TinyMCE

  • make sure the temporary id is removed when using the default image dialog and inserting an external image. [38328] #37467

  Users

  • after [38317], use a @property annotation, instead of a public field. [38319] #37771
  • $user_level has been publicly-accessed on instances of WP_User since version 2.0, but is has never been declared. [38317] #37771

  Widgets

  • $option_name and $alt_option_name have been used as members ever since WP_Widget became an object in 2.8, but never declared. [38318] #37771

    Did I earn my contributor profile badge for #37608 or should I try harder 😉 @grantpalin

      Contributor badges are not automatic. The script gets run every few months. At that time, if you’re listed here (and, thus, received props in SVN), you’ll get the badge.
