This is a summary of this week's deployment of the 1.37.0-wmf.1 branch of MediaWiki and its extensions (also known as "the train"). The primary person in charge this week is Jeena Huneidi, with Dan Duvall as backup, both from the Release Engineering team.
The summary task for this week is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278345
This was the first week of the 1.37.0 series. The 1.36.0 release is being made separately, and our sites are moving on to run weekly releases of the new series. It's not a momentous change. We start a series couple of times a year. The version number changes, but otherwise the changes this week are fairly mundane and usual.
(There's no train deployment next week, due to a holiday on Thursday.)
The new version is running all sites. There were a total of three blocker reported and resolved:
- T279008 - mw-parser-output now clears after block, which is a noticeable change for Category pages where infoboxes used to render floated alongside the automatic content https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T279008
- T279113 - Unable to parse title at new Title in Special:MediaSearch https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T279113
- T280082 - Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError: Error 1146: Table 'mediawikiwiki.discussiontools_subscription' doesn't exist (10.64.16.7) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T280082
As usual, a whole bunch of people helped to find, triage, analyze, fix, or work around problems this. Release Engineering thanks everyone, without help we wouldn't be able to deploy MediaWiki.

Have a good weekend. Be well. Be safe.
