I would like to announce the immediate availability of MediaWiki
1.30.0-rc.0, the first release candidate for 1.30.x. Links are at the end
of this e-mail.
This is not a final release and should not be used for production websites.
As always, please do try out the release candidate in a test environment.
It's how we find bugs that didn't surface in initial development.
Barring any unforeseen issues, we hope to move forward to the release of
MediaWiki 1.30 in the next few weeks.
Per the version lifecycle, the current MediaWiki LTS version is 1.27.4. The
1.27 LTS branch will continue to be supported through June 2019. The 1.29
branch is not an LTS branch, but it will continue to be supported until
July 2018. The current version in that branch is 1.29.2. MediaWiki 1.28.x
reached End of Life this month. The final release in this series was 1.28.3.

Hi all,
Tomorrow we will be issuing a security release to all supported
branches of MediaWiki.
The new releases will be:
1.29.2
1.28.3
1.27.4
This will resolve 9 issues in MediaWiki core.
Fixes will be available in these respective release branches,
the currently unreleased 1.30.0 and also master. Tarballs will be
available for the above mentioned point releases as well.
1.28 was previously announced as end of life, but 1.28.3
will be the final security and maintenance release barring
any unforeseen issues.
This security release includes fixes for MediaWiki core.

Hi!
It's November 2017, which means that the 1.28.x branch of MediaWiki has
reached the end of its life. Lets wish it the best as it moves off to the
great big code repository in the sky. All users are encouraged to upgrade
to 1.29.x which is the latest stable branch.
Note: 1.30.0 should be out by the end of the month, we've already branched
and are working on making sure the release is ready-to-go :)
