Below are any notable changes that we should look forward to, or watch out for, if upgrading MediaWiki (besides various security fixes). Source: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes

Oldest LTS version of MediaWiki: 1.31 (supported through June 2021). Source: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle

Current version on OniGalore: 1.39.6

You can browse each version of the MW code here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki/branches/master/

1.33

I have checked the release notes through 1.33.3.

1.34

I have checked the release notes through 1.34.1.
  • Special:Mute has been added as a quick way for users to block unwanted emails from other users originating from Special:EmailUser.
  • Special:NewSection has been created as a shortcut to creating a new section on a page.
  • $wgServer must now always be set in LocalSettings.php. This is most likely the case already for any wiki installed after 1.18. Older wikis may need to update their LocalSettings.php file.
  • $wgDiffEngine can be used to specify which difference engine to use. MediaWiki continues to default to automatically choosing the first of $wgExternalDiffEngine, wikidiff2, or php that is usable.
  • Add the MW_VERSION constant; global $wgVersion is soft deprecated.
