I would like to announce the availability of MediaWiki 1.37.4. This primarily fixes an issue identified in the MediaWiki 1.37.3 release. The incorrect version of guzzlehttp/guzzle was included in the tarball (and git repo) vendor, meaning that update.php would not run successfully. It also includes some minor backported fixes for PHP 8.1 support, which would reduce log spam when logging was enabled. These fixes will be included in later point releases for 1.35 and 1.38. === Changes since MediaWiki 1.37.3 === * Localisation updates. * (T311568) UploadBase::setTempFile() handle $tempPath being passed as null. * (T311559) SpecialListFiles: user parameter isn't always present. * (T311561) ImageListPager: Don't call htmlspecialchars() on null. * (T311920) SpecialBlockList: Prevent passing null to trim(). * (T311921) SpecialUserrights: Don't pass null to str_replace. * (T311570) SpecialWithoutInterwiki: Don't pass null through to Title::capitalize(). * (T311574, T311576) SpecialLinkSearch: Don't pass null through to the parser. * (T312059) Update guzzlehttp/guzzle to 7.4.5 in vendor. * (T296435, T297669) cache: Add four fields to LinkCache::getSelectFields. ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-1.37.4.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-1.37.4.zip Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-core-1.37.4.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-core-1.37.4.zip Patch to previous version (1.37.3): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-1.37.4.patch.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-1.37.4.patch.zip GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-core-1.37.4.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-core-1.37.4.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-1.37.4.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-1.37.4.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-1.37.4.patch.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.37/mediawiki-1.37.4.patch.zip.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html

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.

MediaWiki 1.36 is End of Life

by Sam Reed

As per the MediaWiki version lifecycle[1], I would like to announce the formal end of life (EOL) of MediaWiki 1.36 as of today, Friday June 3, 2022. This means that MediaWiki 1.36 will no longer receive maintenance or security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue to use it. It is recommended to upgrade either to MediaWiki 1.37, which will be supported until November 2022 or to 1.38 (released yesterday), which will be supported until June 2023. Thanks!

MediaWiki 1.38.0-rc.1 is ready for testing

by Sam Reed

I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of MediaWiki 1.38.0-rc.1, the second release candidate for 1.38.0. 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 1500 commits since 1.37.0 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-1.38-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 1.38 will become final in May 2022, though the date may slip if blockers are identified. Changes since MediaWiki 1.38.0-rc.0: * Localisation updates. * (T305028) Undeprecate EditPage::$textbox2. * (T305635) LogActions is a map, not a list. * (T306721) Add wikimedia/equivset to vendor; needed by bundled AbuseFilter. * (T307284) Simplify TransactionManager::pendingWriteQueryDuration. * (T307307) Add symfony/yaml to vendor. * Fix old_name in UserLogoutComplete hook. * REST: don't send stack trace in error responses. * (T307998) SessionManager: stop storing an ObjectFactory instance. * (T193565) UserGroupManager: Fix dbDomain in addUserToGroup() deferred update.
