=== Bug fixes in 1.22 ===
* Disable Special:PasswordReset when $wgEnableEmail is false. Previously one
* (bug 46626) xmldoublequote parameter was removed. Because of a bug, the
parameter has had no effect since MediaWiki 1.16, and so its removal is
unlikely to impact existing clients.

+ skin is the default and which are unusable (e.g. listed in $wgSkipSkins).
* (bug 25325) Added support for wlshow filtering (bots/anon/minor/patrolled)
to action=feedwatchlist.
* WDDX formatted output will actually be formatted (and normal output will no
