Write and send release announcements for MediaWiki 1.35.10/1.38.6/1.39.3
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Previous work: {T318968}

I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.35.10, 1.38.6 and 1.39.3!

These releases also serve as a maintenance release for these branches.

The tarballs have already been uploaded as of this e-mail, and the git tags have been pushed.

A "MediaWiki Extensions Security Release Supplement" e-mail will follow this one, covering security updates for non-bundled extensions.

The fixes for the issues in OATHAuth and VisualEditor were already included in 1.39.2 due the patches being made in public and were of lower severity.

All three fixes apply to the pre-release 1.40, and will be included in the upcoming 1.40.0-rc.1 release. They will be merged into the REL1_40 branch later today.

Various patches aimed at PHP 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 support have been back-ported. This should fix a lot of log spam, and MediaWiki should work on both released versions (PHP 8.0 and 8.1).

Reports of bugs with PHP 8.0, 8.1, or 8.2 support are particularly welcome, and fixes will be back-ported when possible. Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.0_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.1_support/ and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.2_support/ for the relevant work boards.

As a reminder, 1.38 is due to become end of life (EOL) in June 2023. 1.38.7 (due in June 2023 on the usual release cadence) is expected to be the last release for this branch. It is recommended to upgrade to 1.39 (the next LTS after 1.35).

== Security fixes ==
