   Hi it has been 3-4 months since the last mediawiki releases when will
they have a new release since it has been a long time.

 Sorry about the delay; the Wikimedia Foundation had a third-party
 security audit of our site and code (including MediaWiki). This turned
 up a number of security issues that we have been/are fixing. Some are
 taking longer than expected.

 The stated understanding before the security audit was to:
 * Have the audit completed (Done)
 * Address all issues found (in-progress)
 * Release both a security release of MW (and extensions) along with the
   security audit for public consumption.


Oh cool. That should be an interesting read.

 We hope to have that security release out soon; we are working on it
 (the issues) in earnest.

I know it's not the most helpful thing (because the blocking tasks are
private, and have other blocking tasks that are also private) but this
is the tracking bug for the release:

Obviously we don't want to release the audit until after fixes for all
of the issues are released.

Thanks for your understanding,
