## Changelog

### Features and Enhancements

 * [rev:108062] Added File::$allowed_extensions (backport from 2.4 to enable File->validate() security fix)
 * [rev:103684] Allowing !TestRunner? to skip certain tests through the ?!SkipTests?=... GET paramete (merged from branches/2.3-nzct) (from r80646)
 * [rev:103659] do not show comments that need moderation in the comment rss feed


### API Changes

 * [rev:108062] Don't reflect changes in File and Folder property setters on filesystem before write() is called, to ensure that validate() applies in all cases. This fixes a problem where File->setName() would circumvent restrictions in File::$allowed_extensions (fixes #5693)
 * [rev:108062] Removed File->resetFilename(), use File->updateFilesystem() to update the filesystem, and File->getRelativePath() to just update the "Filename" property without any filesystem changes (emulating the old $renamePhysicalFile method argument in resetFilename())
 * [rev:108062] Removed File->autosetFilename(), please set the "Filename" property via File->getRelativePath()

 * [rev:108044] Don't allow direct access to PHP files in cms module. (from r108028)
