== Babel, CleanChanges == * Only localisation updates.

== CLDR == * Updated to CLDR 25. * Localisation updates.

== LocalisationUpdate == LocalisationUpdate is rewritten for JSON file format support for extensions. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.19 and above. * Extensions using JSON are fully supported and LocalisationUpdate will pickup new languages as they appear. * LocalisationUpdate will store translation using JSON file format. If extension is not yet migrated to JSON, messages will be stored as PHP file.

=== Configuration changes === ==== Global Variables ==== ====== $wgLocalisationUpdateRepository ====== Default repository source to fetch translation. MediaWiki's Github mirror is set to default repository to fetch translations. This is added with version 1.1.

===== $wgLocalisationUpdateRepositories ===== Array of repositories URLs from which to retrieve localisations for core MediaWiki and extensions. Default is set to GitHub's MediaWiki Git repositories and you should not change this unless you're using this performance improvement or otherwise know what you're doing. This is added with version 1.1.

==== Script parameters changes ==== With version 1.1,

--repoid: Fetch translations from repositories identified by this

==== Notes ==== * Once core MediaWiki switches to JSON format, all users must update LU to keep receiving updates. They will need to update anyway because older versions of LocalisationUpdate do not support JSON at all.

* If an extension switches to JSON, we will not be able to provide updates until its local checkout is updated to such a version. LocalisationUpdate does not know about the switch and will try to fetch the PHP shim, which does not have translations any longer. This is usually okay, as the PHP shims support old MediaWiki versions; problems might appear if the extension has other incompatible changes which prevent updating.

== Translate == === Noteworthy changes === * Added support for insertables with numbers in the end on translatable pages. * Improvements in TUX shortcuts: Shortcut indicators are now more visible. Fixed display in RTL. Added indicators for up/down arrows. * characterEditStats.php: Mention the max age of recent changes ($wgRCMaxAge) limits. * Added a notice about ULS extension dependency. On Special:Translate, it will fail with MediaWiki error page if ULS is not installed.

== UniversalLanguageSelector == === Noteworthy changes === * Compacting the interlanguage links with the ULS as new Beta feature. Displays a shorter version of the language list with the languages that are more relevant to you. More info at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/Design/Interlangu... * Bug 56081: Reset webfonts where inline css style found upon reset. This fixes broken live preview for content font.

=== Fonts === * Updated Lohit Oriya font to new upstream version and renamed to Lohit Odia.
