The `WP_INSTALLING` constant is a flag that WordPress sets in a number of
places, telling the system that options should be fetched directly from the
database instead of from the cache, that WP should not ping wordpress.org for
updates, that the normal "not installed" checks should be bypassed, and so on.
A constant is generally necessary for this purpose, because the flag is
typically set before the WP bootstrap, meaning that WP functions are not yet
available. However, it is possible - notably, during `wpmu_create_blog()` -
for the "installing" flag to be set after WP has already loaded. In these
cases, `WP_INSTALLING` would be set for the remainder of the process, since
there's no way to change a constant once it's defined. This, in turn, polluted
later function calls that ought to have been outside the scope of site
creation, particularly the non-caching of option data. The problem was
particularly evident in the case of the automated tests, where `WP_INSTALLING`
was set the first time a site was created, and remained set for the rest of the
suite.
The new `wp_installing()` function allows developers to fetch the current
installation status (when called without any arguments) or to set the
installation status (when called with a boolean `true` or `false`). Use of
the `WP_INSTALLING` constant is still supported; `wp_installing()` will default
to `true` if the constant is defined during the bootstrap.

The call to `flock()` is an exclusive advisory lock, which in my testing only PHP respects (apache continues to read it).
Not all filesystems support locking (remote NFS mounts for example) so this offers minimal benefit to those platforms, but offers much better protection against file corruption on systems which do support it.
The call is blocking, so a second process will wait for the first to complete before writing if supported.

Previously there were two persistent "View Post" links on an edit screen: next to the permalink and in the toolbar. This would then become three links after a post was published or updated, as a link is also included in the admin notice. This is a lot of redundancy and visual noise for a flow that is not your primary action upon starting to edit a post. The "View Post" link next to the sample permalink was particularly bad because it is styled like a button, but unlike a button, does not keep you on the current screen.
Because the permalink is now linked, there is no highlighted slug that you can click to edit, but rather just the "Edit" button.

The Menu Customizer feature includes a performance technique whereby the controls for nav menu items are only embedded into the DOM once the containing menu section is expanded. This commit implements the same DOM deferral for widgets but goes a step further than just embedding the controls once the widget area's Customizer section is expanded: it also defers the embedding of the widget control's form until the widget is expanded, at which point the `widget-added` event also fires to allow any additional widget initialization to be done. The deferred DOM embedding can speed up initial load time by 10x or more. This DOM deferral also yields a reduction in overall memory usage in the browser process.
Includes changes to `wp_widget_control()` to facilitate separating out the widget form from the surrounding accordion container; also includes unit tests for this previously-untested function. Also included are initial QUnit tests (finally) for widgets in the Customizer.

Previously, the 'page_comments' toggle allowed users to disable comment
pagination. This toggle was only superficial, however. Even with
'page_comments' turned on, `comments_template()` loaded all of a post's
comments into memory, and passed them to `wp_list_comments()` and
`Walker_Comment`, the latter of which produced markup for only the
current page of comments. In other words, it was possible to enable
'page_comments', thereby showing only a subset of a post's comments on a given
page, but all comments continued to be loaded in the background. This technique
scaled poorly. Posts with hundreds or thousands of comments would load slowly,
or not at all, even when the 'comments_per_page' setting was set to a
reasonable number.
Recent changesets have addressed this problem through more efficient tree-
walking, better descendant caching, and more selective queries for top-level
post comments. The current changeset completes the project by addressing the
root issue: that loading a post causes all of its comments to be loaded too.
Here's the breakdown:
* Comment pagination is now forced. Setting 'page_comments' to false leads to evil things when you have many comments. If you want to avoid pagination, set 'comments_per_page' to something high.
* The 'page_comments' setting has been expunged from options-discussion.php, and from places in the codebase where it was referenced. For plugins relying on 'page_comments', we now force the value to `true` with a `pre_option` filter.
* `comments_template()` now queries for an appropriately small number of comments. Usually, this means the `comments_per_page` value.
* To preserve the current (odd) behavior for comment pagination links, some unholy hacks have been inserted into `comments_template()`. The ugliness is insulated in this function for backward compatibility and to minimize collateral damage. A side-effect is that, for certain settings of 'default_comments_page', up to 2x the value of `comments_per_page` might be fetched at a time.
* In support of these changes, a `$format` parameter has been added to `WP_Comment::get_children()`. This param allows you to request a flattened array of comment children, suitable for feeding into `Walker_Comment`.
* `WP_Query` loops are now informed about total available comment counts and comment pages by the `WP_Comment_Query` (`found_comments`, `max_num_pages`), instead of by `Walker_Comment`.
Aside from radical performance improvements in the case of a post with many
comments, this changeset fixes a bug that caused the first page of comments to
be partial (`found_comments` % `comments_per_page`), rather than the last, as
you'd expect.

Shortlinks had their day in the popular usage sun before all these services moved to their own shorteners and running your own custom one became a lot easier. Shortlinks are still useful in some contexts, such as analytics or when links need to be shared verbally or copied down by hand.
If any filters are hooked onto `pre_get_shortlink` or `get_shortlink` and produce a non-empty value (with an exception described below), the button will magically reappear. This allows any custom shortlinks to keep the button without hiccups.
If you're in need of the default shortlinks, the fastest way to reenable them is `add_filter( 'pre_get_shortlink', '__return_false' )`. Note that it must return false in order to continue on to the rest of `wp_get_shortlink()`.
