to plain class names, using the 'factory' key in the module description
array. This allows dependency injection to be used for ResourceLoader modules.

+* (T163562) $wgRangeContributionsCIDRLimit was introduced to control the size
+ of IP ranges that can be queried at Special:Contributions.
* (T45547) $wgUsePigLatinVariant added (off by default).
* (T152540) MediaWiki now supports a section ID escaping style that allows to display
non-Latin characters verbatim on many modern browsers. This is controlled by the

* $wgExternalInterwikiFragmentMode was introduced to control how fragments in
sinterwikis going outside of current wiki farm are encoded.
+* (T120333) Soft-deprecated the use of PHP extension 'mysql' in favor of 'mysqli'.

+ auto-selects the 'mysqli' driver since MediaWiki 1.22, except if explicitly
+ requested through the configuration parameter $wgDBservers.
+* $wgOOUIEditPage was removed, as it is now the default. This was documented as a
+ temporary variable during the migration period.

-* Support for skr (Saraiki, سرائیکی) was added.
+* (T2424) Added direct unwatch links to entries in Special:Watchlist (if the

+ just been unwatched.
+* Added $wgParserTestMediaHandlers, where mock media handlers can be passed to
+ MediaHandlerFactory for parser tests.
+* Edit summaries, block reasons, and other "comments" are now stored in a
+ separate database table. Use the CommentFormatter class to access them.
+** This is currently gated by $wgCommentTableSchemaMigrationStage. Most wikis
+ can set this to MIGRATION_NEW and run maintenance/migrateComments.php as
+ soon as any necessary extensions are updated.
+* (T138166) Added ability for users to prohibit other users from sending them
+ emails with Special:Emailuser. Can be enabled by setting
+ $wgEnableUserEmailBlacklist to true.
+* (T67297) $wgBrowserBlacklist is deprecated, and changing it will have no effect.
+ Instead, users using browsers that do not support Unicode will be unable to edit
+ and should upgrade to a modern browser instead.
