by default.
* $wgGrantPermissions – A new grant group, 'editsiteconfig', is added for
granting the above rights.
+* $wgDBDefaultGroup – A default database group for use by maintenance scripts.
+* $wgResourceLoaderEnableJSProfiler – This new configuration setting lets you
+ enable client-side profiling of JavaScript modules; it is off by default.
+* (T193868) $wgChangeTagsSchemaMigrationStage — This temporary configuration
+ setting allows sysadmins to gradually migrate the database table schema for
+ how change tags are stored.
+* (T199334) $wgTagStatisticsNewTable — This temporary configuration setting
+ allows sysadmins to enable the caching of Special:Tags via the new
+ change_tag_def table.
==== Changed configuration ====
* $wgUseAjax – This setting, deprecated in 1.31, is now ignored.
MIGRATION_WRITE_NEW. It instead uses SCHEMA_COMPAT_WRITE_BOTH |
SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_OLD and SCHEMA_COMPAT_WRITE_BOTH | SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_NEW
for intermediate stages of migration.
+* $wgDBTableOptions – The default table options now use the binary charset. The
+ default was already overridden in the installer-generated LocalSettings.php,
+ and so is always set to binary after the installer UI option was removed. The
+ default value is only used when the installer installs an extension.
+* $wgPopularPasswordFile — The location of the default popular passwords file
+ has been moved to be in line with other non-PHP files used by libraries and
+ classes.
==== Removed configuration ====
* $wgEnableAPI and $wgEnableWriteAPI – These settings, deprecated in 1.31,
message `emailsender`.
* $wgTidyConfig – The experimental Html5Internal and Html5Depurate tidy drivers
were removed. RemexHtml, which is the default, should be used instead.
+* (T181318) The $wgStyleVersion setting and its appendage to various script and
+ style URLs in OutputPage, deprecated in 1.31, was removed.
+* (T140807) The wgResourceLoaderLESSImportPaths configuration option was removed
+ from ResourceLoader. Instead, use `@import` statements in LESS to import
+ files directly from nearby directories within the same project.
+* (T140804) The wgResourceLoaderLESSVars configuration option, deprecated
+ since 1.30, was removed. Instead, to expose variables from PHP to LESS, use
+ the ResourceLoaderModule::getLessVars() method.
+* $wgResourceLoaderValidateStaticJS – This setting, unused since MediaWiki 1.18,
+ was removed.
+* Two temporary variables for deploying the feature of filters on change lists,
+ $wgStructuredChangeFiltersShowPreference introduced in MediaWiki 1.30 and
+ $wgStructuredChangeFiltersOnWatchlist in 1.31, were removed.

MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated regularly.
removed. Use mediawiki.widgets.visibleLengthLimit instead.
* The jquery.farbtastic module, unused since 1.18, was removed.

The UtfNormal\Utils class from the utfnormal library should be used instead.
* The deprecated UTF8_ and UNICODE_ constants were removed. The class constants
from the UtfNormal\Constants class from the utfnormal library should be used
-* (T140807) The wgResourceLoaderLESSImportPaths configuration option was removed
- from ResourceLoader. Instead, use `@import` statements in LESS to import
- files directly from nearby directories within the same project.
-* (T140804) The wgResourceLoaderLESSVars configuration option, deprecated
- since 1.30, was removed. Instead, to expose variables from PHP to LESS, use
- the ResourceLoaderModule::getLessVars() method.

only needed for PHP5 compatibility, have been removed. It now uses the boolean
values `true` and `false` respectively.
* Another two OutputPage methods, setPageTitleActionText() and
getPageTitleActionText(), were removed. They did nothing since 1.15 (almost
ten years). Use setHTMLTitle() directly.
+* The return value of OutputPage::adaptCdnTTL() has been removed. The
+ value returned was misleading and probably not what any caller would
+ have wanted.

hooks or MagicWordFactory methods instead.

* 'xx-uca-fa' (CollationFa) - use 'uca-fa' instead
+* LanguageCode::bcp47() now always returns a valid BCP 47 code. This means
+ that some MediaWiki-specific language codes, such as `simple`, are mapped
+ into valid BCP 47 codes (eg `en-simple`).
* The hooks 'SpecialRecentChangesFilters' & 'SpecialWatchlistFilters' deprecated
in 1.23 were removed. Instead, use 'ChangesListSpecialPageStructuredFilters'.
The ChangesListSpecialPage code for these legacy hooks, and their use in
* File / MediaHandler::getStreamHeaders(), deprecated since 1.30, was removed.

+ * ApiUsageException::getMessageArray() (deprecated in 1.29)
+* Class UsageException, deprecated in 1.29, has been removed.
=== Deprecations in 1.32 ===
* HTMLForm::setSubmitProgressive() is deprecated. No need to call it. Submit
as a string. They should be given as a OOUI\FieldLayout object instead.
Notably, this affects fields defined in the 'GetPreferences' hook, because
Special:Preferences uses an OOUI form now. (If possible, don't use 'rawrow'.)
+* In Skin::doEditSectionLink omitting the parameters $tooltip and $lang is
+ deprecated. For the $lang parameter, types other than Language are
