1.37.020 Nov 2021 22:24
minor feature:
I am happy to announce the availability of the general release of MediaWiki
1.37!
Tarballs have already been uploaded, and the git tag has been pushed.
Please note that MediaWiki 1.37 (as did 1.36) now requires the PHP
internationalization extension, commonly referred to as Intl, ext-intl, or
php-intl.
As a reminder, 1.31 (the old LTS) became end of life in September 2021.
1.35 (the new LTS) is supported until September 2023.
Note that the patches in comparison rc.2 are much larger than usual due to
the re-introduction of translation backports. This only includes updates
for MediaWiki core and bundled skins. Extension updates will follow in the
next point release (along with further updates for MediaWiki core and the
bundled skins).
MediaWiki 1.37 will be supported until November 2022.
MediaWiki 1.38 is due to be released in May 2022.
=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.37.0-rc.2 ===
* Remove justinrainbow/json-schema from vendor.
* Updated pear/mail_mime from 1.10.9 to 1.10.11.
* Update deprecated Guzzle Psr7 function calls.
* (T281972) UserIdentityValue: Correct @since tags.
* Updated wikimedia/parsoid from v0.14.0-a19 to v0.14.0.
* Localisation updates.
* Tweak error message for missing composer dependencies.
1.35.101 Apr 2021 07:50
minor feature:
This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.35 branch.
While normally running update.php isn't required for point releases,
it is recommended to run it for 1.35.1 so that sites.site_language is
updated to take 35 characters.
Watchlist Expiry is no longer considered experimental, but is off by default.
To enable it, set wgWatchlistExpiry = true; in your LocalSettings.php.
=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.35.0 ===
* (T263929) purgeList.php Fix all-namespaces option to match one used in code.
* (T248719) ParserCache::get - fix wfDeprecated call.

Tab.

changed.
* (T264502) Fix PHP 8 compat with strcspn() length parameter exceeding string.
* (T248925) Remove final modifier on private function.
* (T264683) Remove ipb_anon_only from ipb_address_unique index addition.
* (T261415) Add days left messages to changes-lists' clock icons.
* Fix order of wfDeprecated parameters in ExternalStoreDB::getSlave.
* (T261260) Preload class used in HeaderCallback.

* (T264683) Remove doTable check from (Mysql Sqlite)Updater::indexHasFields.
* (T264534) ApiPageSet: Avoid infinite loop when merging redirects.
* (T196906) Empty Monolog loggers are now real blackholes.
* (T258649) WatchAction: avoid UPDATE when old and new watch period is
indefinite.
* Parser: Adjust typehint to show that getTitle can return null.
* (T263592) media: Fix case of FlashPixVersion in
FormatMetadata::makeFormattedData().
* (T265223) BaseTemplate: Guard against passing zero arg to array_merge().
* (T264965) Fix base path handling for MessagePosterModule registration.
* (T252183) Fix Database::getTempTableWrites for multi table DDLs.
* (T182546) Fix switch/case indentation per mediawiki coding conventions.
