I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.35.6, 1.36.4 and 1.37.2!
These releases also serve as a maintenance release for these branches.
This is expected to be the final release in the 1.36 branch, which is due to become EOL as of the end of May 2022.
While tarballs have already been uploaded as of this e-mail, git tags will follow later on today.
An "MediaWiki Extensions Security Release Supplement" e-mail will follow this one, covering security updates for non-bundled extensions.
T297754 only applies to MediaWiki >= 1.37. Therefore fixes have not been back-ported to 1.35 or 1.36.
Various patches aimed at PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1 support have been back-ported to all branches. This should fix a lot of log spam, and MediaWiki should work on both versions.
Bug reports on PHP 8.0 and 8.1 are very welcome, and fixes will be back-ported when possible. Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.0_support/ and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.1_support/ for the relevant work boards.
