 * Added a hook, "ApiOpenSearchSuggest", to allow extensions to provide extracts

+* PrefixSearchBackend hook now has an $offset parameter. Combined with $limit,

+==== External libraries ====
+* MediaWiki now requires certain external libraries to be installed. In the past
+  these were bundled inside the git repository of MediaWiki core, but now they
+  need to be installed separately. For users using the tarball, this will be taken
+  care of and no action will be required. Users using git will either need to use
+  composer to fetch dependencies or use the mediawiki/vendor repository which includes
+  all dependencies for MediaWiki core and ones used in Wikimedia deployment. Detailed
+  instructions can be found at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Fetch_external_libraries>.
+* The following libraries are now required:
+** psr/log 1.0.0
+*** This library provides the interfaces set by the PSR-3 standard (<http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/>)
+    which are used by MediaWiki interally by the MWLogger class.
+*** See the structured logging RfC (<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Structured_logging>)
+    for more background information.
+** cssjanus/cssjanus 1.1.1
+*** This library was formerly bundled with MediaWiki core and has now been removed. It automatically
+    flips CSS for RTL support.
+** leafo/lessphp 0.5.0
+*** This library was formerly bundled with MediaWiki core and has now been removed. It compiles LESS
+    files into CSS.
+** cdb/cdb 1.0.0
+*** This library was formerly a part of MediaWiki core, and has now been split out into a separate library.
+    It provides CDB functions which are used in the Interwiki and Localization caches. More information
+    about the library can be found at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CDB>.

+* Changed parsing of variables in schema (.sql) files:
+** The substituted values are no longer parsed. (Formerly, several passes
+   were made for each variable, so depending on the order in which variables
+   were defined, variables might have been found inside encoded values. This
+   is no longer the case.)
+** Variables are no longer string encoded when the /*$var*/ syntax is used.
+   If string encoding is necessary, use the '{$var}' syntax instead.
+** Variable names must only consist of one or more of the characters
+   "A-Za-z0-9_".
+** In source text of the form '{$A}'{$B}' or `{$A}`{$B}`, where variable A
+   does not exist yet variable B does, the latter may not be replaced.
+   However, this difference is unlikely to arise in practice.
