 === New features in 1.26 ===
 * Change tags can now be hidden in the interface by disabling the associated
   "tag-<id>" interface message.
+* ':' (colon) is now invalid in usernames for new accounts. Existing accounts
+  are not affected.
+* Added a new hook, 'LogException', to log exceptions in nonstandard ways.

 regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
 changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
 
-* BREAKING CHANGE (T91240): Language code "bh" is not valid in ISO 639 and
-  was removed, so it will no longer alias to "bho". If you used "bh" as your
-  wiki's $wgLanguageCode, you must update your configuration.
 
 === Other changes in 1.26 ===
 * ChangeTags::tagDescription() will return false if the interface message
   for the tag is disabled.
 * Added PageHistoryPager::doBatchLookups hook.
+* Added ParserCacheSaveComplete to ParserCache
 * supportsDirectEditing and supportsDirectApiEditing methods added to

+* mediaWiki.confirmCloseWindow now returns an object of functions, instead of
+  one function. The callback can't be called directly any more. The callback
+  function is replaced with confirmCloseWindow.release().
+* Removed maintenance script deleteImageMemcached.php.
+* MWFunction::newObj() was removed (deprecated in 1.25).
+  ObjectFactory::getObjectFromSpec() should be used instead.
+* The parser will no longer randomize the string it uses to mark the place of
+  items that were stripped during parsing. It will use a fixed string instead.
+  This causes the parser to re-use the regular expressions it uses to search
+  and replace markers rather than generate novel expressions on each parse.
+  Re-using regular expressions will improve performance on HHVM and the
+  forthcoming PHP 7. The interfaces changes accompanying this change are:
+  - Parser::getRandomString() and Parser::uniqPrefix() have been deprecated.
+  - The $uniq_prefix argument for Parser::extractTagsAndParams() and the
+    $prefix argument for StripState::_construct() are deprecated and their
+    value is ignored.
