This file contains the RELEASE-NOTES of the Semantic Cite (a.k.a. SCI) extension.

5.0.0

Released on June 8, 2026.

  • Minimum requirement for Semantic MediaWiki changed to version 7.0 and later
  • Added compatibility with Semantic MediaWiki 7.0.x
  • Replaced the removed CacheFactory::newMediaWikiCompositeCache() call with MediaWiki's CachedBagOStuff
  • Removed the onoi/cache, onoi/remi and mediawiki/http-request dependencies in favour of MediaWiki built-ins; caching now uses BagOStuff/CachedBagOStuff and metadata requests use HttpRequestFactory. The bibliographic metadata parsers previously provided by onoi/remi are now bundled under SCI\FilteredMetadata
  • Metadata-provider HTTP requests now verify TLS certificates; the bundled parsers no longer skip peer verification (the former onoi/remi parsers disabled it for some providers)
  • Replaced the removed EntityIdManager::getDataItemPoolHashListFor() call with getDataItemsFromList()
  • Replaced the removed HtmlFormRenderer::getMessageBuilder() usage with language-scoped wfMessage() calls
  • Migrated registration to native extension.json declarations: settings (via the config section instead of DefaultSettings.php), the special page, rights, resource modules, message files and the SMW::Config::BeforeCompletion hook. The SemanticCite.php entry point is removed; its extension function and cache factory now live in SCI\Setup
  • Removed the SCI_VERSION constant; the version is available from extension.json (for example on Special:Version)
  • Removed the unused scigStrictParserValidationEnabled setting alias (use scigEnabledStrictParserValidation)
  • Fixed citation tooltips rendering wiki links and other markup as raw wikitext (e.g. [[...]]) instead of parsed, clickable links
  • Fixed stray [ and ] brackets leaking into citation tooltip popups
  • Localization updates from https://translatewiki.net
