 * Give Content-Length header for HTTP/1.0 clients.
 * Partial support for Flash cross-domain-policy filtering. 
-
+* Hide irrelevant block options in Special:Blockip based on whether an
+  IP address/range or username is listed. (Dynamic using JS.)
+* Lazy-initialize site_stats row on load when empty. Somewhat kinder to
+  dump-based installations, avoiding PHP warnings when NUMBEROFARTICLES
+  and such are used.
+* Add 'charset' to Content-Type headers on various HTTP error responses
+  to forestall additional UTF-7-autodetect XSS issues. PHP sends only
+  'text/html' by default when the script didn't specify more details,
+  which some inconsiderate browsers consider a license to autodetect
+  the deadly, hard-to-escape UTF-7.
+    This fixes an issue with the Ajax interface error message on MSIE when
+  $wgUseAjax is enabled (not default configuration); this UTF-7 variant
+  on a previously fixed attack vector was discovered by Moshe BA from BugSec:
+  http://www.bugsec.com/articles.php?Security=24
+* Trackback responses now specify XML content type
+* (bug 9044) Send a comment with action=raw pages in CSS/JS output mode
+  to work around IE/Mac bug where empty pages time out verrrrryyyyy slowly,
+  particularly with new keepalive-friendly HTTP on Wikipedia
+* (bug 8919) Suppress paging links and related messages where there are no
+  rows to list for query pages
+* (bug 9057) Standardize MediaWiki: namespace for oc
+* (bug 9032) Make quickbarSettings localizable through Special:Allmessages
+* (bug 8132) Suppress "Pages in this category" heading in categories when

+* (bug 8958) Handle search operators better when using tsearch2 (Postgres)
+* Added rate limiter for Special:Emailuser
+* Have a checkered background on images on the description pages and in
+  galeries to make transparency visible (just MonoBook for now, will add the
+  rest soon).
+* (bug 7782) Standardisation of file info at image description pages.
+* (bug 8799) Use redirect table for Special:BrokenRedirects and
