== Babel, CLDR, CleanChanges == * Only localisation updates.

== LocalisationUpdate == * README was updated to include better installation instructions.

== Translate == === Noteworthy changes === * Allow capital letters in MediaWiki style variables (insertables) * Bug 60500: Added AppleFFS module for iOS/Mac OS X Localizable.strings files * Remove shortcut activated from "paste source". It's similar to "revert changes" button, which does not have the insertable class and thus the number indicating shortcut key won't be visible. * Added new hook TranslateMessageGroupPathVariables * Bug 61459: Removed $wgTranslateExtensionDirectory option. * The magic-export.php was updated to handle failures more gracefully. * Bug 50954: In the translation interface, 'Add documentation' link now changes to 'Edit documentation' as soon as documentation is added. * Bug 54194: The ApiQueryMessageCollection module no longer throws exceptions on invalid input.

== UniversalLanguageSelector == === Noteworthy changes === * Detect tofu before applying any default fonts. See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/WebFonts#How_webf... for technical documentation about how tofu detection works in ULS. * Bug 60304: Added enableWebfonts preference. Each wiki can be configured to load the fonts by default using the new global variable $wgULSWebfontsEnabled. Its default value is true (to load fonts). * ULS is now much lighter for the browser thanks to many changes: ** Bug 56292: All SVG images were optimized to reduce their size even 50% in some cases. ** I18n related jquery.i18n and messages code is now loaded only later after user interacts with ULS. ** We removed a dependency to a big JavaScript module which was no longer needed to support anonymous preferences. * Bug 60815: Add Marwari (rwr) and Ottoman Turkish (ota) to the languages supported by ULS.

=== Fonts === * Add Iranian Serif and Iranian Sans Bold fonts. * Removed Amiri font from Persian. * Replaced Xerxes font with Artaxerxes.

=== Input methods === * Bug 53695: For languages which have no input methods, the "Use native keyboard" option is now shown as selected by default. * Added Venetian input method.
