Well, the account creation API is still pending. If I'm lucky it'll be merged by the 1.21 release. :P I also have a change pending that redoes the password recovery system so that it uses tokens rather than temporary passwords.
Other than that, I'm still working on a centralized authentication/authorization system, but I don't think it'll be ready for this release (hopefully it can get in the next release alongside the password hashing rewrite).

We're still a few months from a release of 1.21, but I'd like to start thinking about what we can tell the users of MediaWiki about it.
In that vein, what changes or features have you been working on? I'll spend some time looking over the commit messages, but often those don't give the sort of "big picture" that end users of MW could benefit from.
If you would rather update https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21 yourself, feel free. Otherwise, I'll try to update that page with user visible changes and improvements that third party users of MW could benefit from.
In a side note: I'm not very good with visual presentation. If anyone wants to take on that bit of the release notes, watch the page and chime in where you think you can help.
Mark.
