Below are any notable changes that we should look forward to, or watch out for, if upgrading MediaWiki (besides various security fixes). (Source)
Oldest LTS version of MediaWiki: 1.31 (supported through June 2021). (Source)
Current version on OniGalore: 1.39.6
You can browse each version of the MW code HERE.
1.33
- I have checked the release notes through 1.33.4.
Nothing of interest.
1.34
- I have checked the release notes through 1.34.4.
- 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.
- Added the MW_VERSION constant; global $wgVersion is soft deprecated.
- Added $wgForceHTTPS, which makes the HTTP to HTTPS redirect be unconditional and suppresses various hacks needed to support mixed HTTP/HTTPS wikis.
