possible for fallback images such as png.
* (T44246) $wgFilterLogTypes will no longer ignore 'patrol' when user does

Html class now provides helper methods for messageBox, successBox, errorBox and
warningBox generation.
+* (T9240) Imports will now record unknown (and, optionally, known) usernames in
+ a format like "iw>Example".
+* (T20209) Linker (used on history pages, log pages, and so on) will display
+ usernames formed like "iw>Example" as interwiki links, as if by wikitext like
+ [[iw:User:Example|iw>Example]].
+* (T111605) The 'ImportHandleUnknownUser' hook allows extensions to auto-create
+ users during an import.

+* Browser support for Opera 12 and older was removed.
+ Opera 15+ continues at Grade A support.
+* The Block class will no longer accept usable-but-missing usernames for
+ 'byText' or ->setBlocker(). Callers should either ensure the blocker exists
+ locally or use a new interwiki-format username like "iw>Example".
+* The following methods that get and set ParserOutput state are deprecated.
+ Callers should use the new stateless $options parameter to
+ ParserOutput::getText() instead.
