Following up on Antoine's announcement from Thursday:
MediaWiki 1.36.0-wmf.11 will be deployed to all groups today, Oct 13, in hour-long intervals. Each group running wmf.11 will have around an hour to "bake" receiving production traffic before the next group is promoted to the new deployment.
If all goes well, MediaWiki 1.36.0-wmf.13 will be deployed to group0 today during the normal Train deployment window and groups will be promoted tomorrow and Thursday according to regular scheduling.
Much thanks to hashar, tgr, DannyS712, and others for reporting and investigating the session issues.
Kindly,
Dan (this week's humble train toiler)
