I am happy to announce the belated availability of the general release of MediaWiki 1.35!
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 candidates and provided feedback, as well as the developers who worked hard to get several important fixes merged in time for the 1.35 final release. To see what's changed in 1.35, see the release notes below.
Please note that the PHP version requirement has been raised from 7.2.9 in MediaWiki 1.34 (and 7.0 in MediaWiki 1.31), to 7.3.19.
MediaWiki 1.35 is an LTS and is due to be supported until the end of September 2023.
As a reminder, 1.31 is due to become end of life in June 2021. 1.34 is due to become end of life in November 2020.
As per the pre-release announcement, 1.35.0 also includes some security fixes that weren't in the release candidates, which came out yesterday for the ther supported MediaWiki branches.
Known/outstanding issues: * VisualEditor and Parsoid are now bundled in the tarball and no longer need a separate Node.js service. The documentation for this still may still require some updates. Please report any bugs [2] if this affects you. * (T259685) Zeroconf (zero-configuration) VisualEditor/Parsoid doesn't work using SQLite as the database backend for MediaWiki. This is due to the lack of write concurrency in SQLite. If you wish to use this feature, it is recommended to use MySQL/MariaDB rather than SQLite. * Watchlist expiry (behind the $wgWatchlistExpiry flag) is currently still experimental. It should become stable in a later point release. Please report any issues/bugs [3].

This is great, thank you!
As an LTS user, does anybody know about an overview what has changed since 1.31 LTS?
Would be a great help to have some information about differences/new features/breakting changes between LTS versions and maybe also specific upgrade instructions.
regards, Bernhard
