+* $wgResourceLoaderInlinePrivateModules was added to specify whether private
+  modules such as user.options should be embedded in the HTML output or
+  delivered through a resource loader request, which bypasses server cache (like
+  squid) and checks the user parameter against $wgUser. The former adds more
+  data to all pages, while the latter adds a request which cannot be cached
+  server side.
+* Removed $wgUpdates for database updates; extension should use
+  DatabaseUpdater::addExtensionUpdate().
+* Removed $wgServerName. It doesn't need to be set anymore and is no longer 
+  available as input for other configuration items, either.
+* Remove $wgRemoteUploads. It was not well supported and superseded by
+  $wgUploadNavigationUrl.
+* $wgUpgradeKey allows unlocking the web installer for upgrades without having
+  to move LocalSettings.php
+* The FailFunction "error handling" method has now been removed
+* $wgAdditionalMailParams added to allow setting extra options to mail() calls.
