 === 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.
 
 === New features in 1.23 ===
+* ResourceLoader can utilize the Web Storage API to cache modules client-side.
+  Compared to the browser cache, caching in Web Storage allows ResourceLoader
+  to be more granular about evicting stale modules from the cache while
+  retaining the ability to retrieve multiple modules in a single HTTP request.
+  This capability can be enabled by setting $wgResourceLoaderStorageEnabled to
+  true. This feature is currently considered experimental and should only be
+  enabled with care.
+* (bug 6092) Add expensive parser functions {{REVISIONID:}}, {{REVISIONUSER:}}
+  and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP:}} (with friends).
+* Add "wgRelevantUserName" to mw.config containing the current
+  Skin::getRelevantUser value
 
 === Bug fixes in 1.23 ===
+* (bug 41759) The "updated since last visit" markers (on history pages, recent
+  changes and watchlist) and the talk page message indicator are now correctly
+  updated when the user is viewing old revisions of pages, instead of always
+  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
+  user has confirmed an email address.
 
 === API changes in 1.23 ===
+* (bug 54884) action=parse&prop=categories now indicates hidden and missing
+  categories.

 === Other changes in 1.23 ===

+* mediawiki.util: mw.util.wikiGetlink has been renamed to getUrl. (The old name still
+  works, but is deprecated.)
