There is something we would like to share with you. :- )

been published
https://releases.wikimedia.org/wikibase/1.37 and on Docker
Hub <https://hub.docker.com/u/wikibase>.

This new release brings Wikibase and other components of the Wikibase Suite
to a version compatible with MediaWiki 1.37.
Please note that, for technical reasons, Federated Properties
<https://doc.wikimedia.org/Wikibase/REL1_35/php/md_docs_components_repo_federated_properties.html#:~:text=Federated%20Properties%20is%20a%20feature,time%20defining%20basic%20Properties%20first.>
are disabled and not available in this release. Users who have used
experimental Federated Properties functionality in previous versions will
not see their properties after the update, and might encounter some
unexpected technical glitches. A new experimental Federated Properties
version will be included in the next Wikibase Suite release, compatible
with Mediawiki 1.38.
This release is only compatible with PHP 7.2-7.4. Specifically, this
version will not work in systems running PHP 8 and newer.
Please note that Mediawiki 1.37 is expected to become end-of-life and
receive support from its maintainers with the release of Mediawiki 1.39,
expected to happen in November. We will shortly release another Wikibase
Suite version, compatible with Mediawiki 1.38, and we recommend all users
to watch for our announcement and update their Wikibase installations as
soon as the update is available.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on this mailing list or
