* (bug 72951) The UserGetLanguageObject hook may be passed any IContextSource
for its $context parameter. Formerly it was documented as receiving a
RequestContext specifically.
+* Profiling was restructured and $wgProfiler now requires an 'output' parameter.
+ See StartProfiler.sample for details.
+* $wgMangleFlashPolicy was added to make MediaWiki's mangling of anything that
+ might be a flash policy directive configurable.

* Simplified continuation will return a "batchcomplete" property in the result

+ error instead of returning invalid serialized data.
+* Generators may now return data for the generated pages when used with
+ action=query.
