I am happy to announce the availability of the general release of MediaWiki 1.42!
Tarballs have already been uploaded, and the git tag has been pushed. Thanks to everyone who helped out with this release, especially thanks to those who tested out the release candidate and provided feedback, as well as the developers who worked on fixes for the 1.42 final release. To see what's changed in 1.42, see the release notes file.[0] If you encounter any issues, please file a task.[1] You can see open tasks for the branch on Phabricator.[2] MediaWiki 1.42 is the first release of MediaWiki to formally drop PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0 support; you should use PHP 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3. We also now have dropped support for Composer 1.x, and require Composer 2.x for those systems using it. MediaWiki 1.42 is due to be supported until the end of June 2025. It is noted that MediaWiki 1.40 is due to become end-of-life at the end of June 2024. A formal announcement will be made later this month, and will coincide with the next security and maintenance release which is also scheduled for the of June 2024. === Changes since MediaWiki 1.42.0-rc.0 === * Localisation updates. * wrapOldPasswords: Improve progress output and decrease batch size. * (T365060) Serialization test cases: fix filename after ParserOutput namespacing. * Use virtual domain when running update maintenance scripts. * (T361367) ApiFeedWatchlist: Fix handling of array parameters. * (T366130) EncryptedPassword: Store default parameters as strings.
