I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.39.11, 1.41.5 and 1.42.4!
These releases primarily serve as a maintenance release for these branches.
It does also contain a low risk, minor security fix for the ConfirmEdit extension, more information can be found at T379677.
The tarballs have already been uploaded as of this email, and the git tags have been pushed.
A "MediaWiki Extensions Security Release Supplement" e-mail will follow this one, covering security updates for non-bundled extensions.
Reports of bugs with PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 support are particularly welcome, and fixes will be back-ported when possible. Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.0_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.1_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.2_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.3_support/ and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.4_support/ for the relevant work boards.
As a reminder, MediaWiki 1.35 became end of life (EOL) in December 2023, and MediaWiki 1.40 became EOL in June 2024.
MediaWiki 1.41 is due to become EOL at the end of December 2024. A formal separate announcement will follow for that purpose.
It is strongly recommended to upgrade to either 1.39 (the next LTS after 1.35), which will be supported until November 2025, or 1.42, which will be supported until June 2025.
MediaWiki 1.43, the next LTS after MediaWiki 1.39 is due to be released in the near future. It will be supported until at least December 2027.
