I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.29.2, 1.28.3 and 1.27.4!
Please note that this month is the End-Of-Life date for MediaWiki 1.28. This
means that MediaWiki 1.28.3 will be the last security release for that
version, barring any unforeseen issues. We would strongly encourage users of
MediaWiki 1.28 to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.29, released in July 2017, or a yet
newer version as soon as possible. MediaWiki 1.29 will be supported until July
2018. See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle> for more information.
This release also serves as a maintenance release for these branches.
