+* The default password type for MediaWiki has been changed from MD5 to PBKDF2.
+  Password hashes will automatically be updated as users log in. If necessary, the
+  old MD5 hashing can be restored by changing $wgPasswordDefault to 'B'. In addition,
+  there is a maintenance script wrapOldPassword.php that can wrap all passwords in
+  PBKDF2 (or the hashing algorithm of your choice) if you don't want to wait for your
+  users to log in.
+* $wgImportSources can now either be a regular array, or an associative map
+  specifying subprojects on the interwiki map of the target wiki, or a mix of
+  the two. Existing configurations will still work.
