 === New features in 1.21 ===
+* (bug 38110) Schema changes (adding or dropping tables, indicies and
+  fields) can be now be done separately from from other changes that
+  update.php makes.  This is useful in environments that use database
+  permissions to restrict schema changes but allow the DB user that
+  MediaWiki normally runs as to perform other changes that update.php
+  makes.  Schema changes can be run seperately.  See the file UPGRADE
+  for more information.
 * (bug 34876) jquery.makeCollapsible has been improved in performance.
 * Added ContentHandler facility to allow extensions to support other content
   than wikitext. See docs/contenthandler.txt for details.

+* The following global functions are now reporting deprecated warnings in
+  debug mode: wfMsg, wfMsgNoTrans, wfMsgForContent, wfMsgForContentNoTrans,

+* Debug message emitted by wfDebugLog() will now be prefixed with the group
+  name when its logged to the default log file. That is the case whenever the
+  group has no key in wgDebugLogGroups, that will help triage the default log.
