+ tags.
* Added 'managetags' user right and 'ChangeTagCanCreate', 'ChangeTagCanDelete',
and 'ChangeTagCanCreate' hooks to allow for managing user-modifiable change
tags.
* (T94536) You can now make the sitenotice appear to logged-in users only by
editing MediaWiki:Anonnotice and replacing its content with "". Setting it to
"-" (default) will continue disable it and fallback to MediaWiki:Sitenotice.
+* Modifying the tagging of a revision or log entry is now available via
+ Special:EditTags, generally accessed via the revision-deletion-like interface
+ on history pages and Special:Log is likely to be more useful.
+* Added 'applychangetags' and 'changetags' user rights.
+* (T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting the
+ parameters for API log event output. Extensions should implement the new
+ getParametersForApi() method in their log formatters.

HTML validation.
* $wgUseTidy is now set when parserTests are run with the tidy option to match
output on wiki.
+* (T37472) update.php will purge ResourceLoader cache unless --nopurge is passed to it.
=== Action API changes in 1.25 ===
* (T67403) XML tag highlighting is now only performed for formats
Title::userCan() via the API.
* Default type param for query list=watchlist and list=recentchanges has
been changed from all types (e.g. including 'external') to 'edit|new|log'.

+* (T73020) Log event details are now always under a 'params' subkey for
+ list=logevents, and a 'logparams' subkey for list=watchlist and
+ list=recentchanges.
+* Log event details are changing formatting:
+ * block events now report flags as an array rather than as a comma-separated
+ list.
+ * patrol events now report the 'auto' flag as a boolean (absent/empty string
+ for BC formats) rather than as an integer.
+ * rights events now report the old and new group lists as arrays rather than
+ as comma-separated lists.
+ * merge events use new-style formatting.
+ * delete/event and delete/revision events use new-style formatting.
+* The root node and various other nodes will now always be an object in formats
+ such as json that distinguish between arrays and objects.

* ApiHelp has been rewritten to support i18n and paginated HTML output.
the current request was sent with the 'callback' parameter (or any future
method that breaks the same-origin policy).
* Profiling methods in ApiBase are deprecated and no longer need to be called.
+* ApiResult was greatly overhauled. See inline documentation for details.
+* ApiResult will automatically convert objects to strings or arrays (depending
+ on whether a __toString() method exists on the object), and will refuse to
+ add unsupported value types.
+ * An informal interface, ApiSerializable, exists to override the default
+ object conversion.
+* ApiResult/ApiFormatBase "raw mode" is deprecated.
+* ApiFormatXml now assumes defaults and so on instead of throwing errors when
+ metadata isn't set.
+* (T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting log event
+ parameters for the API.
+* Many modules have changed result data formats. While this shouldn't affect
+ clients not using the experimental formatversion=2015, code using
+ ApiResult::getResultData() and not using ApiResult::transformForBC() may need
+ updating.
* The following methods have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
release:
* ApiBase::getDescription
* ApiBase::profileDBIn
* ApiBase::profileDBOut
* ApiBase::getProfileDBTime

getExternalLinkAttributes method, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.18.
* Removed Sites class, which was deprecated in 1.21 and replaced by SiteSQLStore.
-* The mw.api.getToken() method now uses action=query?meta=tokens. This will now
- fail for custom tokens registered only via the deprecated ApiTokensGetTokenTypes
- hook. The ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes hook should be used for this to work.
* Added wgRelevantArticleId to the client-side config, for use on special pages.
* Deprecated the TitleIsCssOrJsPage hook. Superseded by the
ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook since MediaWiki 1.21.
