Hi,
The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/09%3E. Below is the English version.
You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next%3E.
More information on how to contribute is available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute%3E. You can also contact me directly.

Latest *tech news https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News* from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/09 are available.
*Changes later this week*
- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35/wmf.21 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 February. It will be on all wikis from 27 February (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35/Roadmap).
*Future changes*
- There will be a reply button https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk_pages_project/replying after each post on a talk page if you want one. This will soon be a beta feature on the Arabic, French, Dutch and Hungarian Wikipedias. You will have to turn it on if you want to use it. It will come to more wikis later. You can test the reply button https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Talk:Cats. It was briefly shown earlier than planned by mistake on the four first wikis last week.
