 * A new configuration variable has been added: $wgCookieSetOnAutoblock. This
   determines whether to set a cookie when a user is autoblocked. Doing so means
   that a blocked user, even after logging out and moving to a new IP address,
   will still be blocked.

+* The $error parameter to the EmailUser hook should be set to a Status object
+  or boolean false. This should be compatible with at least MediaWiki 1.23 if
+  not earlier. Returning a raw HTML string is now deprecated.
+* The $message parameter to the ApiCheckCanExecute hook should be set to an
+  ApiMessage. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.27 and later. Returning a
+  code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
+* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
+  result in a PHP fatal error.
+* $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo is now true by default to work around restrictive DMARC
+  policies.
+* Subpages are now enabled by default in the Template namespace. Set
+  $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_TEMPLATE] to false to keep the old behavior.
+* $wgRunJobsAsync is now false by default (T142751). This change only affects
+  wikis with $wgJobRunRate > 0.

+  if they move to a new IP address. This is disabled by default.
+* Added ILocalizedException interface to standardize the use of localized
+  exceptions, largely so the API can handle them more sensibly.
+* Blocks created automatically by MediaWiki, such as for configured proxies or
+  dnsbls, are now indicated as such and use a new i18n message when displayed.
+* Added new $wgHTTPImportTimeout setting. Sets timeout for
+  downloading the XML dump during a transwiki import in seconds.
+* Parser limit report is now available in machine-readable format to JavaScript
+  via mw.config.get('wgPageParseReport').
+* Added $wgSoftBlockRanges, to allow for automatically blocking anonymous edits
+  from certain IP ranges (e.g. private IPs).
+* (T59603) Added new magic word {{PAGELANGUAGE}} which returns the language code
+  of the page being parsed.
+* Added JavaScript that provides as-you-type suggestions for reason
+  on the block, delete and protect forms.
+* HTML5 form validation attributes will no longer be suppressed. Originally
+  browsers had poor support for them, but modern browsers handle them fine.
+  This might affect some forms that used them and only worked because the
+  attributes were not actually being set.

+* (T47843) API errors and warnings may be requested in non-English languages

+* ApiPageSet-using modules will report the 'invalidreason' using the specified
+  'errorformat'.
+* action=emailuser may return a "Warnings" status, and now returns 'warnings' and
+  'errors' subelements (as applicable) instead of 'message'.
+* action=imagerotate returns an 'errors' subelement rather than 'errormessage'.
+* action=move now reports errors when moving the talk page as an array under
+  key 'talkmove-errors', rather than using 'talkmove-error-code' and
+  'talkmove-error-info'. The format for subpage move errors has also changed.
+* action=revisiondelete no longer includes a "rendered" property on warnings
+  and errors for each item. Use errorformat=wikitext if you're wanting parsed
+  output.
+* action=rollback no longer returns a "messageHtml" property. Use
+  errorformat=html if you're wanting HTML formatting of error messages.
+* action=upload now reports optional stash failures as an array under key
+  'stasherrors' rather than a 'stashfailed' text string.
+* action=watch reports 'errors' and 'warnings' instead of a single 'error', and

+* UsageException is deprecated in favor of ApiUsageException. For the time
+  being ApiUsageException is a subclass of UsageException to allow things that
+  catch only UsageException to still function properly.
+* If, for some strange reason, code was using an ApiErrorFormatter instead of
+  ApiErrorFormatter_BackCompat, note that the result format has changed and
+  various methods now take a module path rather than a module name.
+* ApiMessageTrait::getApiCode() now strips 'apierror-' and 'apiwarn-' prefixes
+  from the message key, and maps some message keys for backwards compatibility.

+* Based as always on linguistic studies on intelligibility and language
+  knowledge by geography, language fallbacks have been expanded. When a
+  translation is missing in the user's preferred interface language, the
+  corresponding translation for the fallback language will be used instead.
+  English will only be used as last resort when there are no translations.
+  Some configurations (such as date formats and gender namespaces) have also
