Exciting times! Looking forward to our PHP 7 future, if not just yet. :D

Hi,
I meant to send this Tuesday but I forgot.
MediaWiki 1.31 has been branched from master! You should now see a REL1_31 branch where appropriate items should be backported to.
Core was branched at 69257de17fc899c447c9f1229b6ed319bc05d316. All extensions & skins were branched from their respective masters at about the same time as core. I plan to cut rc.0 sometime next week.
PHP versions The current plan of action is to leave master as compatible with 5.5 for now. This is because Wikimedia production isn't ready quite yet. This is being tracked at T172165[0]. We will be moving the REL1_31 branch to 7.0+ as the required minimum version. Once production is ready, we'll forward-port this change to master. It should be a little inconvenient, but not too terribly bad (and notably, makes life less stressful for our SREs). In the meantime, please do NOT introduce changes to master that require 7.0+ for core, vendor, or WMF-deployed extensions & skins. Doing so will make me sad :(
Otherwise, great job on 1.31.x everyone! I'm rather pleased with what I'm seeing so far. Check out the workboard[1] for ways you can contribute to getting it wrapped up (and as always, tag issues with that tag if they should absolutely block release).
Have a fantastic weekend!
