Some extra notes on the more interesting breaking/deprecating changes:
Breaking changes since last release:
[...]
* icons: Drop the deprecated core icon pack (James D. Forrester)
Dropped 'core' icon pack, deprecated in v0.20.1 and already moved all
of its icons
to different, more clearly labelled, icon packs back then. Now removed
entirely.
This affects a large number of extensions. James and I have been working on
updating them on task T166730 [1], and all of the extensions in Wikimedia
production are by today updated (or have patches awaiting review), but a
few others still need updates. Feel free to help, especially for projects
you maintain.

Deprecations since last release:
* Rename the 'MediaWiki' theme to 'WikimediaUI' (James D. Forrester)
In order to clarify and simplify connection between the default theme's
development focus on Wikimedia user interfaces and connected resources
we've decided to rename it. Currently there's an alias for the old name,
which
should allow your software to work as is. Still, consider renaming your
style
and script references in the time being.
MediaWiki has been updated for this and this is unlikely to affect your
code, unless you hardcoded the theme name somewhere.
[Deprecations since last release:]
* WindowManager: Deprecate using `openWindow`/`closeWindow` returns as
promises (Bartosz Dziewoński)
The return value is now a WindowInstance object. Rather than using the
"nested promises" to wait for window to open/close, you should instance use
its
properties (opening, opened, closing, closed) to wait for the given
step of window
lifecycle.
This also affects a number of extensions, some in Wikimedia production.
I've updated a few of them on task T166729 [2], but more remain; feel free
to help, especially for projects you maintain. You will see deprecation
warnings for the deprecated usage.
