1.35 (out in a few weeks) will be the last release to support Internet Explorer (Template:Phab:T248061)
Uncached VisualEditor w/ Parsoid/PHP (no JS, no RESTBase) for MW 1.35 LTS (Template:Phab:T248343)
SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec and a number of other hooks are being deprecated (Template:Phab:T60137).
- See the email announcing this and Jon Robinson's notes about how skins are changing in MW 1.35
Extensions can now provide alternative database backends. Oracle and MS SQL are being moved out of core (instead of the core MySQL, Postgres etc): Template:Phab:T226857
Gerrit updated to version 3. You can now create and edit patches via the web interface.
- But Gerrit will be replaced by GitLab next year.
- GitLab's interface and work-flow is more similar to Github's, but it allows the WMF to host it. (See Gitlab's comparison to Github or a (less biased?) comparison from UserSnap.)
- Related, [[mw:Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/CI_Futures_WG WMF's CI working group] recommended replacing Jenkins with mw:Wikimedia Release Engineering Team/CI Futures WG/Report.
- There is a proposal to change the MediaWiki logo with options available for consideration.
