* Default value for font-family; minor CSS improvements

This is a bug-fix release.

Carsten Klapp strikes back!

• Upgrade PEAR to release 1.10.16, PEAR DB to release 1.12.2
• Readme for basic Windows 11 install instructions.
• Complete rewrite of SpaceWiki theme using modern CSS.
• passencrypt.php and configurator.php: Improved password encryption and random password generation. Use newer password_hash function when available. Added copy to clipboard buttons.
• Updated .htaccess files to work with Apache 2.4. Will still work with older versions but requires mod_version module which is available in Apache 2.0.56 and later.
• Minor updates to Hawaiian and Portland themes.
• Fixed MacOSX theme buttons not loading, other visual improvements and RecentChanges uses a table now.
• Improved formatting output for debugging, adjusted code for themes which depend on default theme. Added signature template. This can be disabled by adding this line to themeinfo.php: $this->addImageAlias('signature', false);
• Added 404 error to HttpClient.php which is displayed now in PhotoAlbumPlugin. Removed URL of defunct example website that broke PhpWikiManual.
• Important bugfix for PHP 8.3 and newer: Fixed garbled display of pages due to deprecated errors. Also try harder to suppress deprecated errors on all PHP versions. Set DEBUG=2 in config.ini to view deprecated errors, and DEBUG=1 for basic errors. Added hooks for CSS formatting of deprecated errors.
• Improvements and bugfixes to loading and saving pages to filedumps:
  • fixed download of individual dump files stalling in chrome (must always click resume).
  • fixed page lock status not always loading, especially for virgin wiki.
  • Security: Prevented unlocking existing page when loading dumped file without lock flag.
  • Security: Page hits and ACL are only loaded when page doesn't exist in database. To do a complete restore of a page, delete it first.
  • Fixed page metadata changes incorrectly being applied to database when attempting to load a file and it was skipped.
  • When a file is loaded the status now reports the loaded page lock status.
  • Removed invalid http headers.
  • Added dumpsvn action, mainly for developers and translators of pgsrc files.
  • Fixed filenames sometimes not being urlencoded properly.
  • Improved filtering of unknown page metadata being loaded into database.
  • Dumped pages now use Unix line endings instead of Windows. Import of files with Windows line endings should still work.
  • Added summary page counts to page dumping.
  • Dumping no longer overwrites existing files.
  • Fixed broken Merge edit functionality when loading dumps, also added diff preview. This means themes using custom editpage.tmpl need to be updated with new $EDITING_OLD_REVISION_MESSAGE variable.
  • Date of files dumped now set to match page date in wiki.
• configurator.php now comments out most values that are defaults. Added automatically suggested paths for Windows users.
• New: Show a nice diff preview when editing a page if there is an edit conflict.
• New: Prevent diff markers from being rendered as markup when editing a conflict or merging a dumpload.
• Important bugfix: Fixed users unexpectedly being logged out. Affected flatfile database and possibly other db types also. Improved by sanity checking of database global timestamp.
• RDF link in RecentChanges no longer crashes but still provides incomplete output.

This is a bug-fix release.

Release candidate for 1.3.12
It fixes several php-5.1.x issues.

Originally I only wanted to release a second patchset for 1.3.11, but then I found so many fixed bugs in CVS, which I backported to the 1.3.11 tree. So there's a new 1.3.12 release, which doesn't include all changes from CVS HEAD.
