- so the WikiPage code wasn't useful there either.
-* Deprecated mw.user.name in favour of mw.user.getName.
-* Deprecated mw.user.anonymous in favour of mw.user.isAnon.
-* Deprecated DatabaseBase functions newFromParams(), newFromType(), set(),
- quote_ident(), and escapeLike() were removed.
-* Use of __DIR__ instead of dirname( __FILE__ ).
-* OutputPage::wrapWikiMsg() no longer supports the 'options' parameter. It was
- not used and complicated migration to Message class.

- 'mediawiki.action.edit.preview' module. The old 'mediawiki.legacy.preview' module
- has been removed.

+=== Languages updated in 1.20 ===
+
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
+
+* Emilian (egl) added.
+* Tornedalen Finnish (fit) added.
+* Mizo (lus) added.
+* Santali (sat) added.
+* (bug 34192) Namespace gender aliases for Albanian languages (sq & aln).

+ Portuguese, Esperanto and Udmurt.
+* Turoyo (tru) added.
+* Cyrillic-Latin language converter added for Uzbek (uz).
+
+=== Other changes in 1.20 ===
+* The user_token field is now left empty until a user attempts to login and
+ cookies need to be set. It is also now possible to reset every user's
+ user_token simply by clearing the values in the user_token column.
+* Removed ./tests/qunit/index.html from core. It wasn't actively maintained and
+ has been made obsolete when [[Special:JavaScriptTest/qunit]] was introduced,
+ which actually uses ResourceLoader, LocalSettings and the Skin.
+* Removed $wgDBtransactions global. This was only checked in one class
+ and only applies to MyISAM or similar DBs. Those should only be used
+ for archived sites anyway. We can't get edit conflicts on such sites,
+ so the WikiPage code wasn't useful there either.
+* Deprecated mw.user.name in favour of mw.user.getName.
+* Deprecated mw.user.anonymous in favour of mw.user.isAnon.
+* Deprecated DatabaseBase functions newFromParams(), newFromType(), set(),
+ quote_ident(), and escapeLike() were removed.
+* Use of __DIR__ instead of dirname( __FILE__ ).
+* OutputPage::wrapWikiMsg() no longer supports the 'options' parameter. It was
+ not used and complicated migration to Message class.
+
+== Compatibility ==
+
+MediaWiki 1.20 requires PHP 5.3.2. PHP 4 is no longer supported.
+
+MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
+support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for IBM
+DB2 and Oracle.
+
+The supported versions are:
+
+* MySQL 5.0.2 or later
+* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
+* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
+* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
+
+== Upgrading ==
+
+1.20 has several database changes since 1.19, and will not work without schema
+updates.
+
+If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
+repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
+due to database schema changes.
+
+If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
+new database fields are filled with data.
+
+If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
+changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
+break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
+
+See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
+
+For notes on 1.19.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
+
+== Online documentation ==
+
+Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
+MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
+for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):
+
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation
+
+== Mailing list ==
+
+A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:
+
+ https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
+
+A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
+
+ https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
+
+It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
+going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
+
+== IRC help ==
+
+There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net.
