Semantic MediaWiki 2.4
Released on July 9th, 2016.
Highlights
Support for multiple languages
Added support for multilingual content. This includes the introduction of the monolongual text datatype, a new special property to describe properties and the new Semantic Interlanguage Links extension.
Pattern based constraints
Added support for constraint specification using regular expressions (#1417). The use of regular
expressions
and thus the Allows pattern
property to express a constraint assignment is restricted
to users with the smw-patternedit
right.
Positional units
It is now possible to specify which position a custom unit
should have in Corresponds to annotations.
This means you can specify [[Corresponds to::€ 1]]
instead of [[Corresponds to::1 €]]
. You can find a
small example on the Sandbox.
Display precision
You can now specify the precision used for display of numeric properties (i.e. those of type Number,
Quantity, Temperature). This is done using the
Display precision of
property. You can override this display precision per #ask
query, by using -p<digit>
.
You can view the examples.
Enhanced date and time formatting
Extended date and time formatting
by supporting PHP's DateTime
format rules.
Display Title storage
MediaWiki's {{DISPLAYTITLE:...}}
can now be stored as the
Display title of
special property, so it can be used in queries.
Compatibility changes
Support was added for MediaWiki 1.26 and MediaWiki 1.27. SMW 2.3 has know issues with these versions of MediaWiki, so you are highly encouraged to upgrade SMW if you plan to use one of them. While SMW 2.3 already had beta support for PHP 7, this release fully supports it.
This release does not drop support for anything. It is however the last release to support PHP older than 5.5 and MediaWiki older than 1.25.
For more information, see the compatibility overview.
