I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.39.7, 1.40.3 and 1.41.1!
These releases also serve as a maintenance release for these branches.
The tarballs have already been uploaded as of this email, and the git tags have been pushed.
Unfortunately at the time of finalising this release, the CVE has not been assigned a tracking number by MITRE. To get these releases out as detailed in the pre-release announcement, they are therefore documented as "CVE-2024-PENDING" here and in the commit messages of the commits that will be pushed. The related tasks will be updated in retrospect when the CVEs are issued, and we will also amend the RELEASE-NOTES files. They will then be retrospectively correctly documented in the next releases, and in HISTORY in the master branch of MediaWiki core.
While it does not happen commonly, the fix for T357760 includes a hard coded English error message. This will be improved for the next point releases for all branches, and as such, back-ported translations will also be included.
A "MediaWiki Extensions Security Release Supplement" e-mail will follow this one, covering security updates for non-bundled extensions.
Various patches aimed at PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 support have been back-ported.
Reports of bugs with PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 support are particularly welcome, and fixes will be back-ported when possible. Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.0_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.1_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.2_support/ and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.3_support/ for the relevant work boards.
As a reminder, MediaWiki 1.35 became end of life (EOL) in December 2023.
It is strongly recommended to upgrade to either 1.39 (the next LTS after 1.35), which will be supported until November 2025, 1.40, which will be supported until June 2024, or 1.41, which will be supported until December 2024.
