 === Configuration changes in 1.23 ===
+* $wgDebugLogGroups values may be set to an associative array with a
+  'destination' key specifying the log destination. The array may also contain
+  a 'sample' key with a positive integer value N indicating that the log group
+  should be sampled by dispatching one in every N messages on average. The
+  sampling is random.
+* In addition to the current exception log format, MediaWiki now serializes
+  exception metadata to JSON and logs it to the 'exception-json' log group.
+  This makes MediaWiki easier to integrate with log aggregation and analysis
+  tools.

   acting as if the latest revision was being viewed.
+* (bug 56443) Special:ConfirmEmail no longer shows a "Mail a confirmation code"
+  when the email address is already confirmed. Also, consistently use
+  "confirmed", rather than "authenticated", when messaging whether or not the
