It is time again for a new MediaWiki release candidate.
Since last week, patches to fix the following bugs were included in the tarball:
Bug 46719: Remove link to Special:ActiveUsers from Special:Statistics
Bug 46493: Handle invalid titles on ProtectedPages and ProtectedTitles
Bug 46787: API: Fix rccontinue handling
Bug 40617: Installer can now customize the logo in LocalSettings.php
Newly reported, but not yet fixed, during testing of RC1:
Bug 46943: Job queue items from 1.20 get lost – need exit strategy for upgrade
Please download the release candidate and test it. If you find any bugs
please report them on Bugzilla[1] and make sure I am added as a CC so
that we can fix any show-stoppers before the final release.
Don't forget to look over
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21 and make any
corrections or additions that are needed since I'll be using a (lightly edited)
version of that to make the final announcement.
Finally, I'll be preparing a third release candidate for next week. Quim Gil wants to
do a testing week during that time. If you'd like to help me put together a testing
plan for that week, let me know.
