=== Configuration changes in 1.26 ===
* $wgEnableParserCache was deprecated, set $wgParserCacheType to CACHE_NONE
instead if you want to disable the parser cache.
+* New-style continuation is now the default for API action=continue. Clients may
+ use the 'rawcontinue' parameter to receive raw query-continue data, but the
+ new style is encouraged as it's harder to implement incorrectly.
=== New features in 1.26 ===
* Change tags can now be hidden in the interface by disabling the associated
* ':' (colon) is now invalid in usernames for new accounts. Existing accounts
are not affected.
* Added a new hook, 'LogException', to log exceptions in nonstandard ways.
+* Revive the 'SpecialSearchResultsAppend' hook which occurs after the list of
+ search results are rendered. The initial use case is to append a "give us
+ feedback" link beneath the search results.
+* Added a new hook, 'RejectParserCacheValue', which allows extensions to
+ reject an otherwise-successful parser cache lookup. The intent is to allow
+ extensions to manage the eviction of archaic HTML output from the cache.
+* (T68699) The expiration of the UserID and Token login cookies
+ ($wgExtendedLoginCookieExpiration) can be configured independently of the
+ expiration of all other cookies ($wgCookieExpiration).
==== External libraries ====
+* Update es5-shim from v4.0.0 to v4.1.5.
+* Update json2 from revision 2014-02-04 to 2015-05-03.
+* Update Sinon.JS from 1.10.3 to 1.15.0.

=== Bug fixes in 1.26 ===
* (bug 51283) load.php sometimes sends 304 response without full headers
+* (T65198) Talk page tabs now have a "rel=discussion" attribute
=== Action API changes in 1.26 ===
+* New-style continuation is now the default for action=continue. Clients may
+ use the 'rawcontinue' parameter to receive raw query-continue data, but the
+ new style is encouraged as it's harder to implement incorrectly.
* API action=query&list=tags: The displayname can now be boolean false if the
tag is meant to be hidden from user interfaces.
* action=import no longer allows both the namespace= and rootpage= parameters
to be set. If they are both set, the value of rootpage= will be ignored.
* prop=revision output in enum mode is now sorted by timestamp rather than
revision ID. This usually won't make any difference.
+* (T102645) Namespace list from meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces is now an array
+ with formatversion=2.
+* Various other output from meta=siteinfo will now always be arrays instead of
+ sometimes being numerically-indexed objects with formatversion=2.
+* When errors about users being blocked are returned, they now include
+ information about the relevant block.
=== Action API internal changes in 1.26 ===
regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
+* Languages added:
+** dty (डोटेली/Doteli), thanks to translators जनक राज भट्ट, बिप्लब आनन्द,
+ मेश सिंह बोहरा, and राम प्रसाद जोशी
=== Other changes in 1.26 ===
* ChangeTags::tagDescription() will return false if the interface message
* mediaWiki.confirmCloseWindow now returns an object of functions, instead of
one function. The callback can't be called directly any more. The callback
function is replaced with confirmCloseWindow.release().
+* BREAKING CHANGE: Added an optional ResouceLoaderContext parameter to
+ ResourceLoaderModule::getDependencies(). Extension classes that override that
+ method should be updated. If they aren't updated, PHP Strict standards
+ warnings will appear when E_STRICT error reporting is enabled. Note: in the
+ near future, this parameter will probably become non-optional.
* Removed maintenance script deleteImageMemcached.php.
* MWFunction::newObj() was removed (deprecated in 1.25).
ObjectFactory::getObjectFromSpec() should be used instead.
- The $uniq_prefix argument for Parser::extractTagsAndParams() and the
$prefix argument for StripState::_construct() are deprecated and their
value is ignored.
+* wfSuppressWarnings() and wfRestoreWarnings() were split into a separate library,
+ mediawiki/at-ease, and are now deprecated. Callers should use
+ MediaWiki\suppressWarnings() and MediaWiki\restoreWarnings() directly.
+* The Block class constructor now takes an associative array of parameters
+ instead of many optional positional arguments. Calling the constructor the old
+ way will issue a deprecation warning.
+* The jquery.mwExtension module was deprecated.
