I am happy to announce the availability of the general release of MediaWiki 1.40!
This includes the security fixes announced in 1.35.11/1.38.7/
1.39.4.Tarballs have already been uploaded, and the git tag has been pushed.
Thanks to everyone who helped out with this release, especially thanks to those who tested out the release candidate and provided feedback, as well as the developers who worked hard to get several important fixes merged in time for the 1.40 final release. To see what's changed in 1.40, see the release notes below.
MediaWiki 1.40 is the second release of MediaWiki 'born' with PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1 support included. We anticipate there may be some as-yet undiscovered bugs with PHP 8.x support, of which we'd love to hear reports so they can be fixed. We plan to back-port fixes to 1.39, 1.38 and 1.35 to the extent possible.
MediaWiki 1.40 is due to be supported until the end of June 2024.
As a reminder, 1.35 LTS is due to become end-of-life in November 2023, and 1.38 became end-of-life today, 30 June 2023.
