I am happy to announce the availability of the general release of MediaWiki 1.39!

Tarballs have already been uploaded, and the git tag has been pushed.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this release, especially thanks to those who tested out the release candidates and provided feedback, as well as the developers who worked hard to get several important fixes merged in time for the 1.39 final release. To see what's changed in 1.39, see the release notes below.

Please note that the PHP version requirement has been raised from 7.3.19 in MediaWiki 1.38 (and 1.35) to 7.4.3.

MediaWiki 1.39 is the first release of MediaWiki 'born' with PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1 support included. We anticipate there may be some as-yet undiscovered bugs with PHP 8.x support, of which we'd love to hear reports so they can be fixed. We plan to back-port fixes to 1.38 and 1.35 to the extent possible.

MediaWiki 1.39 is an LTS and is due to be supported until the end of November 2025.

As a reminder, 1.35 LTS is due to become end-of-life in November 2023, and 1.38 is due to become end-of-life in June 2023. 1.37 is becoming end-of-life today, and will be formally announced in a separate email.
