- variable $wgDisableLangConversion was superseded by this variable.

+* (bug 10837) $wgVariant is a user variant selected in the user's preferences
if the $wgContLang does not have variant, then the $wgLang is used instead.
+* Oracle: maintenance/ora/user.sql script for creating DB user on oracle with
+ appropriate privileges. Creating this user with web-install page requires

+* Added $wgCacheDirectory, to replace $wgFileCacheDirectory,
+ $wgLocalMessageCache, and any other local caches which need a place to put
+ files.

+ needs to be set explicitly, or $wgCacheDirectory needs to be set instead.
+* $wgLocalMessageCache has been removed. Instead, set $wgUseLocalMessageCache
+ to true
+* Removed $wgEnableSerializedMessages and $wgCheckSerialized. Similar
+ functionality is now available via $wgLocalisationCacheConf.

+ the DBA extension is not available.
+* (bug 14611) Added support showing the version of the web server, image
+ thumbnailing engine, diff/diff3 engine and TeX engine.
+* Introduced a new system for localisation caching. The system is based around
+ fast fetches of individual messages, minimising memory overhead and startup
+ time in the typical case. The database backend will be used by default, but
+ set $wgCacheDirectory to get a faster CDB-based implementation.
+* Expanded the number of variables which can be set in the extension messages
+ files.
+* Added a feature to allow per-article process pool size control for the parsing
+ task, to limit resource usage when the cache for a heavily-viewed article is
