*MediaWiki now requires browsers to support ES6 for them to receive JavaScript, up from ES5. In practice, this primarily means that users of Internet Explorer 11 (EOL in 2022) will no longer get JavaScript tools. | *MediaWiki now requires browsers to support ES6 for them to receive JavaScript, up from ES5.

**$wgWikidiff2Options - Configuration for Wikidiff2. Is Wikidiff2 used by default in 1.41? If so, it seems that they may have added new options and that's the reason they added this array variable. See [[mw:Manual:$wgWikidiff2Options|here]] for docs. | |||
**$wgEnableEditRecovery - Enables a beta edit-saving feature that prevents data loss if the window closes. Apparently Visual Editor already has its own edit-saving feature that is almost as good. | |||

*Special:TalkPage is a new special page that will redirect to the associated talk namespace page, e.g. Special:TalkPage/Foo redirects to Talk:Foo; Special:TalkPage/Project:Foo goes to Project talk:Foo. This allows for links by templates and tools without having to parse what namespaces are valid and have associated talk pages. | |||
*Special:NamespaceInfo is a new special page that displays a list of namespaces available on the wiki, their descriptions and configuration. | |||
