+* A new user group, 'interface-admin', is added for controlling access to
+ sitewide CSS/JS (and editing other users' CSS/JS). No other group has

extension preferences are no longer represented as arrays when returned by
action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=options.
+* 'missingparam' errors will now use the prefixed parameter name in the code
+ and error text, e.g. "noxxfoo" and "The 'xxfoo' parameter must be set" rather
+ than "nofoo" and "The 'foo' parameter must be set".
+* action=query&prop=revisions now takes a 'rvslots' parameter to indicate the
+ multi-content revision slots for which content should be returned. It also
+ has a new rvprop, 'roles', to indicate which roles have slots. A deprecation
+ warning will be issued if rvprop=content or rvprop=contentmodel are used
+ without rvslots.
+* The rvcontentformat parameter to action=query&prop=revisions has been
+ deprecated. Clients should be prepared to deal with the default format for
+ relevant models.

+ rvprop=parsetree is forbidden with the new 'rvslots' parameter.

* setItemsFromData: Use setValue instead
* getItemsData: Use getItems instead and get the data property
-* LanguageCode::bcp47() now always returns a valid BCP 47 code. This means
- that some MediaWiki-specific language codes, such as `simple`, are mapped
- into valid BCP 47 codes (eg `en-simple`).
+* Two OutputPage methods, addMetadataLink() and getMetadataAttribute(), were
+ removed. Use addLink() instead.
+* Another two OutputPage methods, setPageTitleActionText() and
+ getPageTitleActionText(), were removed. They did nothing since 1.15 (almost
+ ten years). Use setHTMLTitle() directly.
+* All MagicWord static member variables have been removed. Use appropriate
+ hooks or MagicWordFactory methods instead.
+* MagicWord::clearCache() has been removed. Instead, create a new
+ MagicWordFactory, such as by calling

+ do your own lookup for page/content. mNewRev / mOldRev remains public.
+* The $wgExternalDiffEngine value 'wikidiff2' is deprecated. To use wikidiff2
+ just enable the PHP extension, and it will be autodetected.
