As such, the MediaWiki update that normally happens on Tuesday that week will instead occur on Monday (the 30th). See the MediaWiki schedule at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.23/Roadmap#Schedule_for_the_deplo...

The other notable deployment the week of the 30th is the disablement of the pt.wikipedia.org 'emergency captcha'. See: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49860 for all of the details, especially: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49860#c75 (comment 75, by Erik Moeller).

Thanks, and as always, have a good weekend,

Greg
