=== Other changes in 1.22 ===
+* The rc_type field in the recentchanges table has been superseded by a new
+ rc_source field. The rc_source field is a string representation of the
+ 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.
+** Utilize update.php to create and populate this new field. On larger wiki's
+ which do not wish to update recentchanges table in one large update please
+ review the sql and comments in maintenance/archives/patch-rc_source.sql.
+** The rc_type field of recentchanges will be deprecated in a future point

* Methods WatchAction::doWatch and WatchAction::doUnwatch now return a Status
object instead of a boolean.
+* Information boxes (CSS classes errorbox, warningbox, successbox) have been
+ made more subtle.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: The module 'mediawiki.legacy.IEFixes' has been removed as it was
+ unused. The file skins/common/IEFixes.js remains but is only used by wikibits.
+ The file never contained any re-usable components. To use it in a skin, load
+ 'mediawiki.legacy.wikibits' (which IEFixes depends on) and that will import
+ IEFixes automatically if user agent conditions are met.
