+* BREAKING CHANGE: Implementation of MediaWiki's JS and JSON value encoding
+  has changed:
+** MediaWiki no longer supports PHP installations in which the native JSON
+   extension is missing or disabled.
+** XmlJsCode objects can no longer be nested inside objects or arrays.
+   (For Xml::encodeJsCall(), this individually applies to each argument.)
+** The sets of characters escaped by default, along with the precise escape
+   sequences used, have changed (except for the Xml::escapeJsString()
+   function, which is now deprecated).
+* BREAKING CHANGE: The Services_JSON class has been removed. If necessary,
+  be sure to upgrade affected extensions at the same time (e.g. Collection).
 * redirect.php was removed. It was unused.
 * ClickTracking integration was dropped from the mediaWiki.user.bucket
   JavaScript function. The 'tracked' option is now ignored.

 * Methods Title::userCanEditCssSubpage and Title::userCanEditJsSubpage,

+* (bug 50134) Hook functions are no longer required to return a value. When a
+  hook function does not return a value (or when it returns an explicit null),
+  processing continues. To abort the hook, a hook function must return an
+  explicit, boolean false or a string error message. Other falsey values are
+  tantamount to a 'return true' in earlier versions of MediaWiki.
