v0.1.0

0.1.0 - 2019-04-06

Added

• Initial version inspired by ExtAuthDB.
• Modern MediaWiki extension approach using AuthManager as an AuthenticationProvider.
• Connection to an external MySQL/MariaDB database.
• Retrieval of user information from the external database based on the username that was entered.
• Password verification either using password_verify() (for bcrypt, argon2i or argon2id) or hash() for other hashing
  algorithms supported by PHP (such as sha256).
• Automatic local wiki user creation as facilitated by AuthManager upon successful authentication.
• No absolute failure on wrong credentials which allows for other providers to run.
• Adherence to MediaWiki's coding standards (testable via composer script).
