 === Configuration changes in 1.23 ===
+* $wgDebugLogGroups values may be set to an associative array with a
+  'destination' key specifying the log destination. The array may also contain
+  a 'sample' key with a positive integer value N indicating that the log group
+  should be sampled by dispatching one in every N messages on average. The
+  sampling is random.
+* In addition to the current exception log format, MediaWiki now serializes
+  exception metadata to JSON and logs it to the 'exception-json' log group.
+  This makes MediaWiki easier to integrate with log aggregation and analysis
+  tools.
+* $wgSquidServersNoPurge now supports the use of Classless Inter-Domain
+  Routing (CIDR) notation to specify contiguous blocks of IPv4 and/or IPv6
+  addresses that should be trusted to provide X-Forwarded-For headers.
 
 === New features in 1.23 ===
 * ResourceLoader can utilize the Web Storage API to cache modules client-side.

   This capability can be enabled by setting $wgResourceLoaderStorageEnabled to
   true. This feature is currently considered experimental and should only be
   enabled with care.
+* (bug 6092) Add expensive parser functions {{REVISIONID:}}, {{REVISIONUSER:}}
+  and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP:}} (with friends).
+* Add "wgRelevantUserName" to mw.config containing the current
+  Skin::getRelevantUser value.
+* (bug 56033) Add content model to the page information.
 
 === Bug fixes in 1.23 ===
 * (bug 41759) The "updated since last visit" markers (on history pages, recent
   changes and watchlist) and the talk page message indicator are now correctly
   updated when the user is viewing old revisions of pages, instead of always
   acting as if the latest revision was being viewed.
+* (bug 56443) Special:ConfirmEmail no longer shows a "Mail a confirmation code"
+  when the email address is already confirmed. Also, consistently use
+  "confirmed", rather than "authenticated", when messaging whether or not the
+  user has confirmed an email address.
+* (bug 19415) action=render no longer shows section edit links. This affects
+  behavior of several other features where (bogus) section edit links will
+  disappear, such as file description pages loaded via $wgUseInstantCommons or
+  pages transcluded cross-wiki via $wgEnableScaryTranscluding.
 
 === API changes in 1.23 ===
+* (bug 54884) action=parse&prop=categories now indicates hidden and missing
+  categories.

 === Other changes in 1.23 ===
+* The rc_type field in the recentchanges table has been superseded by a new

+  change type where rc_type was a numeric constant.  This field is not yet
+  queried but will be in a future point release of 1.22.

+** The rc_type field of recentchanges will be deprecated in a future point
+   release.
+* The global variable $wgArticle has been removed after a lengthy deprecation.
