# Semantic MediaWiki 7.4.0

Released on TBD.

This is a [minor release](../RELEASE-POLICY.md). Thus, it contains no breaking changes, only new features and fixes.

Like SMW 7.3.1, this version is compatible with MediaWiki 1.43 up to 1.46 and PHP 8.1 up to 8.5.
For more detailed information, see the [compatibility matrix](../COMPATIBILITY.md#compatibility).

## New features and enhancements

* Added chunked and job queue rebuilds to `rebuildFulltextSearchTable.php`, so the full-text search index can be rebuilt on hosts that stop long-running scripts ([#7133](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/7133))

## Bug fixes

* Fixed `Special:Version` listing the Elasticsearch server twice on wikis that also run CirrusSearch ([#7143](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/7143))
* Fixed flag settings such as `$smwgDVFeatures` being unable to switch off a default flag. If you add a single flag, as in `$smwgDVFeatures[] = 'wpv-pipetrick';`, now also list the default flags you want to keep ([#7135](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/7135))
* Fixed an `ArgumentCountError` since 7.3.1 in extensions such as the listwidget format of Semantic Result Formats ([#7137](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/7137))
* Fixed OpenSearch being taken for Elasticsearch 7.10.2 when it runs in the compatibility mode that CirrusSearch on MediaWiki 1.43 requires ([#7142](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/7142))
* Fixed page content jumping while the entity examiner checks a page; its indicator now shows only when a check finds an issue ([#7150](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/7150))
* Fixed editing schemas with the Page Schemas extension, broken since 7.0.0 ([#7154](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/7154))
* Fixed the help links of the maintenance scripts on `Special:SemanticMediaWiki` ([#7151](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/7151))
