-* $wgRemoteUploadTarget (added in 1.26) removed, replaced by $wgForeignUploadTargets
 * $wgUseXVO has been removed, as it provides functionality only used by
   custom Wikimedia patches against Squid 2.x that probably noone uses in
   production anymore. There is now $wgUseKeyHeader that provides similar
   functionality but instead of the MediaWiki-specific X-Vary-Options header,
   uses the draft Key header standard.
+* $wgScriptExtension (and support for '.php5' entry points) was removed. See the
+  deprecation notice in the release notes for version 1.25 for advice on how to
+  preserve support for '.php5' entry points via URL rewriting.
+* Password handling via the User object has been deprecated and partially
+  removed, pending the future introduction of AuthManager. In particular:
+** expirePassword(), getPasswordExpireDate(), resetPasswordExpiration(), and
+   getPasswordExpired() have been removed. They were unused outside of core.
+** The mPassword, mNewpassword, mNewpassTime, and mPasswordExpires fields are
+   now private and will be removed in the future.
+** The getPassword() and getTemporaryPassword() methods now throw
+   BadMethodCallException and will be removed in the future.
+** The ability to pass 'password' and 'newpassword' to createNew() has been
+   removed. The only users of it seem to have been using it to set invalid
+   passwords, and so shouldn't be greatly affected.
+** setPassword(), setInternalPassword(), and setNewpassword() have been
+   deprecated, pending the introduction of AuthManager.
+** User::randomPassword() is deprecated in favor of a new method
+   PasswordFactory::generateRandomPasswordString()
+** User::getPasswordFactory() is deprecated, callers should just create a
+   PasswordFactory themselves.
+** A new constructor, User::newSystemUser(), has been added to simplify the
+   creation of passwordless "system" users for logged actions.
+* $wgMaxSquidPurgeTitles was removed.
