MediaWiki 1.39.0-rc.1 is ready for testing

by Sam Reed

I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of MediaWiki 1.39.0-rc.1, the second release candidate for 1.39.0, the next LTS after MediaWiki 1.35. Download links are at the end of the e-mail. The tag has been signed and pushed to Git. This is not a final release, and should not be used for production websites. Known issues are tracked in Phabricator on the release workboard [1]. As with every release of MediaWiki, a large number of changes have landed in the last six months (over 1850 commits since 1.38.0 was cut), and you should read over the preliminary release notes as part of assuring yourself of areas that may have issues with your configuration, your skins, and/or your extensions. As always, please try out the release candidate in a test environment and do report any issues that you discover. Please use the #MW-1.39-Release [2] tag in Phabricator when reporting issues specific to this release, to make sure that we find them as quickly as possible. It is expected that MediaWiki 1.39 will become final in November 2022, though the date may slip if blockers are identified. Changes since MediaWiki 1.39.0-rc.0: * Localisation updates. * (T318481) composer: Drop symfony/php73-polyfill. * (T318460) SpecialChangeEmail: Set default for returntoquery. * (T318307) HTMLFormField::validate(): Update docs to permit all data types * (T306802) docker: update to latest published images. * (T318754) WebInstallerOptions::addPersonalizationOptions(): Close fieldset. * (T227047) Soft-deprecate the remainder of ActorMigration. * (T316304, CVE-2022-41767) SECURITY: reassignEdits doesn't update results in an IP range check on Special:Contributions. * (T309894, CVE-2022-41765) SECURITY: HTMLUserTextField exposes existence of hidden users. * (T307278, CVE-2022-41766) SECURITY: On action=rollback the message "alreadyrolled" can leak revision deleted user name. * (T319186) .phan/config.php: Update minimum_target_php_version. * Tests: Explicit cast to int in RandomImageGenerator test (php8 warnings). * (T319186) .phan/config.php: Update minimum_target_php_version. * (T310243) Deprecate use of 'wvui-search' package. * utils: Fix return doc about false/null for UrlUtils::expand. * (T319000) WebInstaller: Don't try and run trim() on null. * In the event of preg failure in MagicWordArray throw exception. * (T318753) Installer: Disable logo dropper for now.

Some of the referenced Phabricator tasks above _may_ still be private. Unfortunately, when security issues are reported, sometimes sensitive information is exposed and since Phabricator is historical, we cannot make these tasks public without exposing this sensitive information. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding this update, please feel free to contact security(a)wikimedia.org or file a security task within Phabricator [3].
