Hello everyone,
I am happy to announce the availability of the general release of MediaWiki 1.31!
MediaWiki 1.31 includes all changes released in the smaller 1.31.0-wmf.* software deployments to Wikimedia sites over six months, totaling over 2100 commits by roughly 130 unique authors. This is a very large release that contains many new features and bug fixes. It is also an LTS release.
This is a summary of the major changes of interest to users and administrators: * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.31

On a personal note, this will be the last release that I shall be handling. As many probably know I left Wikimedia this month for a new career and as such I won't have the time to dedicate to releasing MediaWiki anymore. Whomever picks up the torch will do fantastic. See you all around the Internet :)
