 === Configuration changes in 1.25 ===

+* $wgPageShowWatchingUsers was removed.
+* $wgLocalVirtualHosts has been added to replace $wgConf->localVHosts.
+* $wgAntiLockFlags was removed.
+* Edit tokens returned from User::getEditToken may change on every call. Token
+  validity must be checked by passing the user-supplied token to
+  User::matchEditToken rather than by testing for equality with a
+  newly-generated token.
+* (bug 72951) The UserGetLanguageObject hook may be passed any IContextSource
+  for its $context parameter. Formerly it was documented as receiving a
+  RequestContext specifically.
+* Profiling was restructured and $wgProfiler now requires an 'output' parameter.
+  See StartProfiler.sample for details.

+* (bug 62861) Updated plural rules to CLDR 26. Includes incompatible changes
+  for plural forms in Russian, Prussian, Tagalog, Manx and several languages
+  that fall back to Russian.

 * (bug 58139) ResourceLoaderFileModule now supports language fallback
   for 'languageScripts'.
 * Added a new hook, "ContentAlterParserOutput", to allow extensions to modify the
   parser output for a content object before links update.

+* (bug 35785) Enhanced recent changes and extended watchlist are now default.
+  Documentation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Enhanced_recent_changes
+  and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultUserOptions.

 * (bug 67341) SVG images will no longer be base64-encoded when being embedded
   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()
+   and MovePage::checkPermissions().

 
 === Action API changes in 1.25 ===
 * (bug 65403) XML tag highlighting is now only performed for formats

+* action=paraminfo supports generalized submodules (modules=query+value),
+  querymodules and formatmodules are deprecated
+* action=paraminfo no longer outputs descriptions and other help text by
+  default. If needed, it may be requested using the new 'helpformat' parameter.
+* action=help has been completely rewritten, and outputs help in HTML
+  rather than plain text.
+* Hitting api.php without specifying an action now displays only the help for
+  the main module, with links to submodule help.
+* API help is no longer displayed on errors.
+* 'uselang' is now a recognized API parameter; "uselang=user" may be used to
+  explicitly select the language from the current user's preferences, and
+  "uselang=content" may be used to select the wiki's content language.
+* Default output format for the API is now jsonfm.
+* Simplified continuation will return a "batchcomplete" property in the result
+  when a batch of pages is complete.
+* Pretty-printed HTML output now has nicer formatting and (if available)
+  better syntax highlighting.
+* Deprecated list=deletedrevs in favor of newly-added prop=deletedrevisions and
+  list=alldeletedrevisions.
+* prop=revisions will gracefully continue when given too many revids or titles,
+  rather than just ignoring the extras.
+* prop=revisions will no longer die if rvcontentformat doesn't match a
+  revision's content model; it will instead warn and omit the content.
+* If the user has the 'deletedhistory' right, action=query's revids parameter
+  will now recognize deleted revids.
+* prop=revisions may be used as a generator, generating revids.

 === Action API internal changes in 1.25 ===

+* ApiHelp has been rewritten to support i18n and paginated HTML output.
+  Most existing modules should continue working without changes, but should do
+  the following:
+  * Add an i18n message "apihelp-{$moduleName}-description" to replace getDescription().
+  * Add i18n messages "apihelp-{$moduleName}-param-{$param}" for each parameter
+    to replace getParamDescription(). If necessary, the settings array returned
+    by getParams() can use the new ApiBase::PARAM_HELP_MSG key to override the
+    message.
+  * Implement getExamplesMessages() to replace getExamples().
+* Modules with submodules (like action=query) must have their submodules
+  override ApiBase::getParent() to return the correct parent object.
+* The 'APIGetDescription' and 'APIGetParamDescription' hooks are deprecated,
+  and will have no effect for modules using i18n messages. Use
+  'APIGetDescriptionMessages' and 'APIGetParamDescriptionMessages' instead.
+* Api formatters will no longer be asked to display the help screen on errors.
+* ApiMain::getCredits() was removed. The credits are available in the
+  'api-credits' i18n message.
+* ApiFormatBase has been changed to support i18n and syntax highlighting via
+  extensions with the new 'ApiFormatHighlight' hook. Core syntax highlighting
+  has been removed.
+* ApiFormatBase now always buffers. Output is done when
+  ApiFormatBase::closePrinter is called.
+* Much of the logic in ApiQueryRevisions has been split into ApiQueryRevisionsBase.
+* The 'revids' parameter supplied by ApiPageSet will now count deleted
+  revisions as "good" if the user has the 'deletedhistory' right. New methods
+  ApiPageSet::getLiveRevisionIDs() and ApiPageSet::getDeletedRevisionIDs() are
+  provided to access just the live or just the deleted revids.
+* The following methods have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
+  release:
+  * ApiBase::getDescription
+  * ApiBase::getParamDescription
+  * ApiBase::getExamples
+  * ApiBase::makeHelpMsg
+  * ApiBase::makeHelpArrayToString
+  * ApiBase::makeHelpMsgParameters
+  * ApiFormatBase::setUnescapeAmps
+  * ApiFormatBase::getWantsHelp
+  * ApiFormatBase::setHelp
+  * ApiFormatBase::formatHTML
+  * ApiFormatBase::setBufferResult
+  * ApiFormatBase::getDescription
+  * ApiMain::setHelp
+  * ApiMain::reallyMakeHelpMsg
+  * ApiMain::makeHelpMsgHeader
+  * ApiQueryImageInfo::getPropertyDescriptions
+* The following classes have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
+  release:
+  * ApiQueryDeletedrevs
