   in CSS. This results in slight size increase before gzip compression (due to
   percent-encoding), but up to 20% decrease after it.

+* Upgrade jStorage to v0.4.12.
+* MediaWiki now natively supports page status indicators: icons (or short text
+  snippets) usually displayed in the top-right corner of the page. They have
+  been in use on Wikipedia for a long time, implemented using templates and CSS
+  absolute positioning.
+  - Basic wikitext syntax: <indicator name="foo">[[File:Foo.svg|20px]]</indicator>
+  - Usage instructions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Page_status_indicators
+  - Adjusting custom skins to support indicators:
+    https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning#Page_status_indicators
+* Edit tokens may now be time-limited: passing a maximum age to
+  User::matchEditToken will reject any older tokens.
+* The debug logging internals have been overhauled, and are now using the
+  PSR-3 interfaces.

 
 === Bug fixes in 1.25 ===
 * (bug 71003) No additional code will be generated to try to load CSS-embedded
   SVG images in Internet Explorer 6 and 7, as they don't support them anyway.
 * (bug 67021) On Special:BookSources, corrected validation of ISBNs (both
   10- and 13-digit forms) containing "X".

+* Page moving was refactored into a MovePage class. As part of that:
+** The AbortMove hook was removed.
+** MovePageIsValidMove is for extensions to specify whether a page
+   cannot be moved for technical reasons, and should not be overriden.
+** MovePageCheckPermissions is for checking whether the given user is
+   allowed to make the move.
+** Title::moveNoAuth() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.
+** Title::moveTo() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.
+** Title::isValidMoveOperation() broken down into MovePage::isValidMove()
