+= MediaWiki 1.30 =
+
+== MediaWiki 1.30.0 ==
+
+=== Changes since MediaWiki 1.30.0-rc.0 ===
+* Upgraded Moment.js from v2.15.0 to v2.19.3.
+* Add ip_changes to postgres/tables.sql.
+* Skip null shell parameters.
+* Add wfWaitForSlaves() to maintenance/migrateComments.php.
+* (T182245) Fix join conditions in ImageListPager.
+* (T178626) Revert #contentSub and #jump-to-nav margin changes.
+
+=== MySQL version requirement in 1.30 ===
+As of 1.30, MediaWiki now requires MySQL 5.5.8 or higher (see Compatibility
+section).
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.30 ===
+* The "C.UTF-8" locale should be used for $wgShellLocale, if available, to avoid
+ unexpected behavior when code uses locale-sensitive string comparisons. For
+ example, the Scribunto extension considers "bar" < "Foo" in most locales
+ since it ignores case.
+* $wgShellLocale now affects LC_ALL rather than only LC_CTYPE. See
+ documentation of $wgShellLocale for details.
+* $wgShellLocale is now applied for all requests. wfInitShellLocale() is
+ deprecated and a no-op, as it is no longer needed.
+* $wgJobClasses may now specify callback functions as an alternative to plain
+ class names. This is intended for extensions that want control over the
+ instantiation of their jobs, to allow for proper dependency injection.
+* $wgResourceModules may now specify callback functions as an alternative
+ to plain class names, using the 'factory' key in the module description
+ array. This allows dependency injection to be used for ResourceLoader modules.
+* $wgExceptionHooks has been removed.
+* (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
+ new configuration setting, $wgFragmentMode.
+* $wgExperimentalHtmlIds is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version,
+ use $wgFragmentMode to migrate off it to a modern alternative.
+* $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'.
+ This PHP extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5 and removed in PHP 7.0. MediaWiki
+ 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.
+
+=== New features in 1.30 ===
+* (T37247) Output from Parser::parse() will now be wrapped in a div with
+ class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using
+ ParserOptions::setWrapOutputClass().
+* (T163562) Added ability to search for contributions within an IP ranges
+ at Special:Contributions.
+* Added 'ChangeTagsAllowedAdd' hook, enabling extensions to allow software-
+ specific tags to be added by users.
+* Added a 'ParserOptionsRegister' hook to allow extensions to register
+ additional parser options.
+* (T45547) Included Pig Latin, a language game in English, as a
+ LanguageConverter variant. This allows English-speaking developers
+ to develop and test LanguageConverter more easily. Pig Latin can be
+ enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true.
+* Added RecentChangesPurgeRows hook to allow extensions to purge data that
+ depends on the recentchanges table.
+* Added JS config values wgDiffOldId/wgDiffNewId to the output of diff pages.
+* (T2424) Added direct unwatch links to entries in Special:Watchlist (if the
+ 'watchlistunwatchlinks' preference option is enabled). With JavaScript
+ enabled, these links toggle so the user can also re-watch pages that have
+ 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.
+
+=== External library changes in 1.30 ===
+
+==== Upgraded external libraries ====
+* Updated justinrainbow/json-schema from v3.0 to v5.2.

+ (thanks to Sfic)
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.30 ===
+* (T37247) action=parse output will be wrapped in a div with
+ class="mw-parser-output" by default. This may be changed or disabled using
+ the new 'wrapoutputclass' parameter.
+* When errorformat is not 'bc', abort reasons from action=login will be
+ formatted as specified by the error formatter parameters.
+* action=compare can now handle arbitrary text, deleted revisions, and
+ returning users and edit comments.
+* (T164106) The 'rvdifftotext', 'rvdifftotextpst', 'rvdiffto',
+ 'rvexpandtemplates', 'rvgeneratexml', 'rvparse', and 'rvprop=parsetree'
+ parameters to prop=revisions are deprecated, as are the similarly named
+ parameters to prop=deletedrevisions, list=allrevisions, and
+ list=alldeletedrevisions. Use action=compare, action=parse, or
+ action=expandtemplates instead.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.30 ===
+* ApiBase::getDescriptionMessage() and the "apihelp-*-description" messages are
+ deprecated. The existing message should be split between "apihelp-*-summary"
+ and "apihelp-*-extended-description".
+* (T123931) Individual values of multi-valued parameters can now be marked as
+ deprecated.
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.30 ===
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Phabricator reports.
+
+* Added: kbp (Kabɩyɛ / Kabiyè)
+* Added: skr (Saraiki, سرائیکی)
+* Added: tay (Tayal / Atayal)
+* Removed: tokipona (Toki Pona)
+
+==== Pig Latin added ====
+* (T45547) Added Pig Latin, a made-up English variant (en-x-piglatin),
+ for easier variant development and testing. Disabled by default. It can be
+ enabled by setting $wgUsePigLatinVariant to true.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.30 ===
+* The use of an associative array for $wgProxyList, where the IP address is in
+ the key instead of the value, is deprecated (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' => 'value' ]).
+ Please convert these arrays to indexed/sequential ones (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' ]).
+* mw.user.bucket (deprecated in 1.23) was removed.
+* LoadBalancer::getServerInfo() and LoadBalancer::setServerInfo() are
+ deprecated. There are no known callers.
+* File::getStreamHeaders() was deprecated.
+* MediaHandler::getStreamHeaders() was deprecated.
+* Title::canTalk() was deprecated. The new Title::canHaveTalkPage() should be
+ used instead.
+* MWNamespace::canTalk() was deprecated. The new MWNamespace::hasTalkNamespace()
+ should be used instead.

+* The OutputPage::addParserOutputNoText and ::getHeadLinks methods (both
+ deprecated in 1.24) were removed.
+* wfMemcKey() and wfGlobalCacheKey() were deprecated. BagOStuff::makeKey() and
+ BagOStuff::makeGlobalKey() should be used instead.
+* (T146304) Preprocessor handling of LanguageConverter markup has been improved.
+ As a result of the new uniform handling, '-{' may need to be escaped
+ (for example, as '-<nowiki/>{') where it occurs inside template arguments
+ or wikilinks.
+* (T163966) Page moves are now counted as edits for the purposes of
+ autopromotion, i.e., they increment the user_editcount field in the database.
+* Two new hooks, LogEventsListLineEnding and NewPagesLineEnding, were added for
+ manipulating Special:Log and Special:NewPages lines.
+* The OldChangesListRecentChangesLine, EnhancedChangesListModifyLineData,
+ PageHistoryLineEnding, ContributionsLineEnding and DeletedContributionsLineEnding
+ hooks have an additional parameter, for manipulating HTML data attributes of
+ RC/history lines. EnhancedChangesListModifyBlockLineData can do that via the
+ $data['attribs'] subarray.
+* (T130632) The OutputPage::enableTOC() method was removed.
+* WikiPage::getParserOutput() will now throw an exception if passed
+ ParserOptions that would pollute the parser cache. Callers should use
+ WikiPage::makeParserOptions() to create the ParserOptions object and only
+ change options that affect the parser cache key.
+* Article::viewRedirect() is deprecated.
+* IP::isValidBlock() was deprecated. Use the equivalent IP::isValidRange().
+* DeprecatedGlobal no longer supports passing in a direct value, it requires a
+ callable factory function or a class name.
+* The $parserMemc global, wfGetParserCacheStorage(), and ParserCache::singleton()
+ are all deprecated. The main ParserCache instance should be obtained from
+ MediaWikiServices instead. Access to the underlying BagOStuff is possible
+ through the new ParserCache::getCacheStorage() method.
+* .mw-ui-constructive CSS class (deprecated in 1.27) was removed.
+* Sanitizer::escapeId() was deprecated, use escapeIdForAttribute(),
+ escapeIdForLink() or escapeIdForExternalInterwiki() instead.
+* Title::escapeFragmentForURL() was deprecated, use one of the aforementioned
+ Sanitizer functions or, if possible, Title::getFragmentForURL().
+* Second parameter to Sanitizer::escapeIdReferenceList() ($options) now does
+ nothing and is deprecated.
+* mw.util.escapeId() was deprecated, use escapeIdForAttribute() or
+ escapeIdForLink().
+* MagicWord::replaceMultiple() (deprecated in 1.25) was removed.
+* WikiImporter now requires the second parameter to be an instance of the Config,
+ class. Prior to that, the Config parameter was optional (a behavior deprecated in
+ 1.25).
+* Removed 'jquery.mwExtension' module. (deprecated since 1.26)
+* mediawiki.ui: Deprecate greys, which are not part of WikimediaUI color palette
+ any more.
+* CdbReader, CdbWriter, CdbException classes (deprecated in 1.25) were removed.

+ should be used instead.
+* RunningStat class (deprecated in 1.27) was removed. The namespaced
+ RunningStat\RunningStat should be used instead.

+* EditPage underwent some refactoring and deprecations:
+ * EditPage::isOouiEnabled() is deprecated and will always return true.
+ * EditPage::getSummaryInput() and ::getSummaryInputOOUI() are deprecated. Please
+ use ::getSummaryInputWidget() instead.
+ * EditPage::getCheckboxes() and ::getCheckboxesOOUI() are deprecated. Please
+ use ::getCheckboxesWidget() instead.
+ * Creating an EditPage instance without calling EditPage::setContextTitle() should
+ be avoided and will be deprecated in a future release.
+ * EditPage::safeUnicodeInput() and ::safeUnicodeOutput() are deprecated and no-ops.
+ * EditPage::$isCssJsSubpage, ::$isCssSubpage, and ::$isJsSubpage are deprecated. The
+ corresponding methods from Title should be used instead.
+ * EditPage::$isWrongCaseCssJsPage is deprecated. There is no replacement.
+ * EditPage::$mArticle and ::$mTitle are deprecated for public usage. The getters
+ ::getArticle() and ::getTitle() should be used instead.
+ * Trying to control or fake EditPage context by overriding $wgUser, $wgRequest, $wgOut,
+ and $wgLang is no longer supported and won't work. The IContextSource returned from
+ EditPage::getContext() must be modified instead.
+* Parser::getRandomString() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed.
+* Parser::uniqPrefix() (deprecated in 1.26) was removed.
+* Parser::extractTagsAndParams() now only accepts three arguments. The fourth,
+ $uniq_prefix was deprecated in 1.26 and has now been removed.
+* (T172514) The following tables have had their UNIQUE indexes turned into proper
+ PRIMARY KEYs for increased maintainability: categorylinks, imagelinks, iwlinks,
+ langlinks, log_search, module_deps, objectcache, pagelinks, query_cache, site_stats,
+ templatelinks, text, transcache, user_former_groups, user_properties.
+* IDatabase::nextSequenceValue() is no longer needed by any database backends
+ (formerly it was needed by PostgreSQL and Oracle), and is now deprecated.
+* (T146591) The lc_lang_key index on the l10n_cache table has been changed into a
+ PRIMARY KEY.
+* (T157227) bot_password.bp_user, change_tag.ct_log_id, change_tag.ct_rev_id,
+ page_restrictions.pr_user, tag_summary.ts_log_id, tag_summary.ts_rev_id and
+ user_properties.up_user have all been made unsigned on MySQL.
+* DB_SLAVE is deprecated. DB_REPLICA should be used instead.
+* wfUsePHP() is deprecated.
+* wfFixSessionID() was removed.
+* wfShellExec() and related functions are deprecated, use Shell::command(). This also
+ slightly changes the behavior of how execution time limits are calculated when only
+ some of defaults are overridden per-call. When in doubt, always override both wall
+ clock and CPU time.
+* (T138166) SpecialEmailUser::getTarget() now requires a second argument, the sending
+ user object. Using the method without the second argument is deprecated.
+* (T67297) Browsers that don't support Unicode will have their edits rejected.
+* (T178450) The module 'jquery.badge' is deprecated and will be removed in a future
+ release. For notifying the user of an event, the Notifications ("Echo") system
+ should be used instead.
+* (T178451) SECURITY: Potential XSS when $wgShowExceptionDetails = false and browser
+ sends non-standard url escaping.
+* (T165846) SECURITY: BotPassword login attempts weren't throttled.
+
+= MediaWiki 1.29 =
+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.2 ==
+
+This is a security and maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.29 branch.
+
+=== Changes since 1.29.1 ===
+* (T166757) Avoid scoped lock errors in Category::refreshCounts() due to nesting.
+* (T175439) Unbreak Postgres Updater when setting defaults for a column.
+* (T160298) Remove use of implicitGroupBy() in ActiveUsersPager.
+* Fixed login button label to accept RawMessage.
+* Fixed case of SpecialRecentChanges class usage.
+* (T174255) Declare uploadCount property in importDump.php.
+* (T163646) Pass a string not an int to mysql_real_escape_string().
+* (T180143) Bump justinrainbow/json-schema development dependency to ~5.2.
+* Updated dev dependancy phpunit/phpunit from v4.8.35 to v4.8.36.
+* (T178451) SECURITY: Potential XSS when $wgShowExceptionDetails = false and browser
+ sends non-standard url escaping.
+* (T165846) SECURITY: BotPassword login attempts weren't throttled.
+* (T128209) SECURITY: Reflected File Download from api.php.
+* (T134100) SECURITY: Do not reveal if user exists during login failure.
+* (T176247) SECURITY: Ensure Message::rawParams can't lead to XSS.
+* (T125163) SECURITY: Make anchor for headlines escape > and <.
+* (T180237) SECURITY: Protect vendor folder with .htaccess.
+* (T180231) SECURITY: Remove PHPUnit file with known RCE if exists in update.php.
+* (T124404) SECURITY: XSS in langconverter when regex hits pcre.backtrack_limit.
+* (T119158) SECURITY: Handle -{}- syntax in attributes safely.
+* (T180488) (T125177) "api.log contains passwords in plaintext" wasn't correctly fixed in all
+ branches in the previous security release.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.1 ==
+
+This is a maintenance release of the MediaWiki 1.29 branch.
+
+The SpamBlacklist and PdfHandler extensions were missing from the generated
+packages.
+
+=== Changes since 1.29.1 ===
+* (T164999) Define mw.Upload.Dialog.static.name in mediawiki.Upload.Dialog.js.
+* (T172061) Fix fatal when passing a category to refreshLinks.php.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.29.0 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.29 ===
+* Default cookie expiration time has been reduced to 30 days. Login cookie
+ expiration time is kept at 180 days.
+* A new configuration variable has been added: $wgCookieSetOnAutoblock. This
+ determines whether to set a cookie when a user is autoblocked. Doing so means
+ that a blocked user, even after logging out and moving to a new IP address,
+ will still be blocked.
+* The resetpassword right and associated password reset capture feature has
+ been removed.
+* The $error parameter to the EmailUser hook should be set to a Status object
+ or boolean false. This should be compatible with at least MediaWiki 1.23 if
+ not earlier. Returning a raw HTML string is now deprecated.
+* The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
+ ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
+ code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
+* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
+ result in a PHP fatal error.
+* $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo is now true by default to work around restrictive DMARC
+ policies.
+* Subpages are now enabled by default in the Template namespace. Set
+ $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_TEMPLATE] to false to keep the old behavior.
+* $wgRunJobsAsync is now false by default (T142751). This change only affects
+ wikis with $wgJobRunRate > 0.
+* (T158474) "Unknown user" has been added to $wgReservedUsernames.
+* (T156983) $wgRateLimitsExcludedIPs now accepts CIDR ranges as well as single IPs.
+* $wgDummyLanguageCodes is deprecated. Additional language code mappings may be
+ added to $wgExtraLanguageCodes instead.
+* (T161453) LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory in it's
+ fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
+* The user right 'editusercssjs' (deprecated in 1.16) was removed. Use
+ 'editusercss' and 'edituserjs' in $wgGroupPermissions and elsewhere instead.
+
+=== New features in 1.29 ===
+* (T5233) A cookie can now be set when a user is autoblocked, to track that user
+ if they move to a new IP address. This is disabled by default.
+* Added ILocalizedException interface to standardize the use of localized
+ exceptions, largely so the API can handle them more sensibly.
+* Blocks created automatically by MediaWiki, such as for configured proxies or
+ dnsbls, are now indicated as such and use a new i18n message when displayed.
+* Added new $wgHTTPImportTimeout setting. Sets timeout for
+ downloading the XML dump during a transwiki import in seconds.
+* Parser limit report is now available in machine-readable format to JavaScript
+ via mw.config.get('wgPageParseReport').
+* Added $wgSoftBlockRanges, to allow for automatically blocking anonymous edits
+ from certain IP ranges (e.g. private IPs).
+* (T59603) Added new magic word {{PAGELANGUAGE}} which returns the language code
+ of the page being parsed.
+* HTML5 form validation attributes will no longer be suppressed. Originally
+ browsers had poor support for them, but modern browsers handle them fine.
+ This might affect some forms that used them and only worked because the
+ attributes were not actually being set.
+* Expiry times can now be specified when users are added to user groups.
+* Completely new user interface for the RecentChanges page, which
+ structures filters into user-friendly groups. This has corresponding
+ changes to how filters are registered by core and extensions.
+* The edit form now uses pretty OOjs UI buttons, checkboxes and summary input.
+ Because this change can cause problems for extensions and on-wiki
+ scripts depending on the exact HTML, the old version is still available
+ and can be used by setting $wgOOUIEditPage = false; in LocalSettings.php.
+ This will be removed later and OOjs UI will become the only option.
+ To make testing easier, users can also force either mode by adding
+ &ooui=true or &ooui=false to the action=edit URL.
+

+ to the page content language, not wiki content language.
+* (T27187) Search suggestions based on jquery.suggestions will now correctly only
+ highlight prefix matches in the results.
+* (T157035) "new mw.Uri()" was ignoring options when using default URI.
+* Special:Allpages can no longer be filtered by redirect in miser mode.
+* (T160519) CACHE_ANYTHING will not be CACHE_ACCEL if no accelerator is installed.
+* (T109140) (T122209) SECURITY: Special:UserLogin and Special:Search allow redirect
+ to interwiki links.
+* (T144845) SECURITY: XSS in SearchHighlighter::highlightText() when
+ $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting is true.
+* (T125177) SECURITY: API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep
+ their values out of the logs.
+* (T150044) SECURITY: "Mark all pages visited" on the watchlist now requires a CSRF
+ token.
+* (T156184) SECURITY: Escape content model/format url parameter in message.
+* (T151735) SECURITY: SVG filter evasion using default attribute values in DTD
+ declaration.
+* (T161453) SECURITY: LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory
+ in it's fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache.
+* (T48143) SECURITY: Spam blacklist ineffective on encoded URLs inside file inclusion
+ syntax's link parameter.
+* (T108138) SECURITY: Sysops can undelete pages, although the page is protected against
+ it.
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.29 ===
+* Submitting sensitive authentication request parameters to action=login,
+ action=clientlogin, action=createaccount, action=linkaccount, and
+ action=changeauthenticationdata in the query string is now an error. They
+ should be submitted in the POST body instead.
+* The capture option for action=resetpassword has been removed
+* action=clearhasmsg now requires a POST.
+* (T47843) API errors and warnings may be requested in non-English languages
+ using the new 'errorformat', 'errorlang', and 'errorsuselocal' parameters.
+* API error codes may have changed. Most notably, errors from modules using
+ parameter prefixes (e.g. all query submodules) will no longer be prefixed.
+* ApiPageSet-using modules will report the 'invalidreason' using the specified
+ 'errorformat'.
+* action=emailuser may return a "Warnings" status, and now returns 'warnings' and
+ 'errors' subelements (as applicable) instead of 'message'.
+* action=imagerotate returns an 'errors' subelement rather than 'errormessage'.
+* action=move now reports errors when moving the talk page as an array under
+ key 'talkmove-errors', rather than using 'talkmove-error-code' and
+ 'talkmove-error-info'. The format for subpage move errors has also changed.
+* action=revisiondelete no longer includes a "rendered" property on warnings
+ and errors for each item. Use errorformat=wikitext if you're wanting parsed
+ output.
+* action=rollback no longer returns a "messageHtml" property. Use
+ errorformat=html if you're wanting HTML formatting of error messages.
+* action=upload now reports optional stash failures as an array under key
+ 'stasherrors' rather than a 'stashfailed' text string.
+* action=watch reports 'errors' and 'warnings' instead of a single 'error', and
+ no longer returns a 'message' on success.
+* Added action=validatepassword to validate passwords for the account creation
+ and password change forms.
+* action=purge now requires a POST.
+* There is a new `languagevariants` siprop for action=query&meta=siteinfo,
+ which returns a list of languages with active LanguageConverter instances.
+* action=query&query=allpages will no longer filter redirects using a database
+ query in miser mode. This may result in less results being returned than were
+ requested.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.29 ===
+* New methods were added to ApiBase to handle errors and warnings using i18n
+ keys. Methods for using hard-coded English messages were deprecated:
+ * ApiBase::dieUsage() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsg() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::dieUsageMsgOrDebug() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::getErrorFromStatus() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::parseMsg() was deprecated
+ * ApiBase::setWarning() was deprecated
+* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
+ result in a PHP fatal error.
+* The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
+ ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
+ code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
+* UsageException is deprecated in favor of ApiUsageException. For the time
+ being ApiUsageException is a subclass of UsageException to allow things that
+ catch only UsageException to still function properly.
+* If, for some strange reason, code was using an ApiErrorFormatter instead of
+ ApiErrorFormatter_BackCompat, note that the result format has changed and
+ various methods now take a module path rather than a module name.
+* ApiMessageTrait::getApiCode() now strips 'apierror-' and 'apiwarn-' prefixes
+ from the message key, and maps some message keys for backwards compatibility.
+* API parameters may now be marked as "sensitive" to keep their values out of
+ the logs.
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.29 ===
+
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Phabricator reports.
+
+* Based as always on linguistic studies on intelligibility and language
+ knowledge by geography, language fallbacks have been expanded. When a
+ translation is missing in the user's preferred interface language, the
+ corresponding translation for the fallback language will be used instead.
+ English will only be used as last resort when there are no translations.
+ Some configurations (such as date formats and gender namespaces) have also
+ been updated when using the fallback language's configuration was inadequate.
+ The new or reinstated language fallbacks are (after cs ↔ sk in 1.28):
+ ca ↔ oc; hsb ↔ dsb; io → eo; mdf → ru; pnt → el; roa-tara → it; rup → ro;
+ sh → bs, sr-el, hr.
+* (T137376) New language support: Atikamekw (atj).
+* (T163600) New language support: Dinka (din).
+* (T155957) Talk Namespaces for Javanese language (jv) have been updated.
+
+==== No fallback for Ukrainian ====
+* (T39314) The fallback from Ukrainian to Russian was removed. The Ukrainian
+ language will now use the default fallback language: English. When a translation
+ to Ukrainian is not available, an English string will be shown.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.29 ===
+* Database::getSearchEngine() (deprecated in 1.28) was removed. Use

+ signature). Subclasses are likely to call at least doMainQuery
+ (possibly both), but other classes might too, because they were
+ public.
+ Also, some related hooks were deprecated, but this is not yet a
+ breaking change.
+* Removed 'jquery.arrowSteps' module. (deprecated since 1.28)

+* Hook 'EditPageBeforeEditChecks' is now deprecated. Instead use the new hook
+ 'EditPageGetCheckboxesDefinition', or 'EditPage::showStandardInputs:options'
+ if you don't actually care about checkboxes and just want to add some HTML
+ to the page.
+* Selflinks are now rendered as href-less <a> tags with the class mw-selflink
+ rather than <strong> tags. The old class name, "selflink", was deprecated
+ and will be removed in a future release. (T160480)
+* (T156184) $wgRawHtml will no longer apply to internationalization messages.
+* Browser support for non-ES5 JavaScript browsers, including Android 2,
+ Opera <12.10, and Internet Explorer 9, was lowered from Grade A to Grade C.

+ is_gecko, is_chrome_mac, is_chrome, webkit_version, is_safari_win, is_safari,
+ webkit_match, is_ff2, ff2_bugs, is_ff2_win, is_ff2_x11, opera95_bugs,
+ opera7_bugs, opera6_bugs, is_opera_95, is_opera_preseven, is_opera,
+ ie6_bugs, clientPC, changeText, killEvt, addHandler, hookEvent,

+ 'pt-login' to 'pt-login-private' in private wikis.
+* The old, neglected "bulletin board style toolbar" in the edit form is now
+ deprecated (T30856). This old code dates from 2006, and was replaced in the
+ MediaWiki release tarball and in Wikimedia production by the WikiEditor
+ extension in 2010. It is only shown to users if no other editor was
+ installed, and leads to confusion.
+* (T92459) Loading ResourceLoader modules containing JavaScript through
+ addModuleStyles() is deprecated and will log a warning server-side.
