are not affected.
* Added a new hook, 'LogException', to log exceptions in nonstandard ways.
+* Revive the 'SpecialSearchResultsAppend' hook which occurs after the list of

=== Bug fixes in 1.26 ===
* (bug 51283) load.php sometimes sends 304 response without full headers
+* (T65198) Talk page tabs now have a "rel=discussion" attribute
=== Action API changes in 1.26 ===
* API action=query&list=tags: The displayname can now be boolean false if the
to be set. If they are both set, the value of rootpage= will be ignored.
* prop=revision output in enum mode is now sorted by timestamp rather than
revision ID. This usually won't make any difference.
+* (T102645) Namespace list from meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces is now an array
+ with formatversion=2.
+* Various other output from meta=siteinfo will now always be arrays instead of
+ sometimes being numerically-indexed objects with formatversion=2.
+* When errors about users being blocked are returned, they now include
+ information about the relevant block.
=== Action API internal changes in 1.26 ===
* mediaWiki.confirmCloseWindow now returns an object of functions, instead of
one function. The callback can't be called directly any more. The callback
function is replaced with confirmCloseWindow.release().
+* BREAKING CHANGE: Added an optional ResouceLoaderContext parameter to
+ ResourceLoaderModule::getDependencies(). Extension classes that override that
+ method should be updated. If they aren't updated, PHP Strict standards
+ warnings will appear when E_STRICT error reporting is enabled. Note: in the
+ near future, this parameter will probably become non-optional.
* Removed maintenance script deleteImageMemcached.php.
* MWFunction::newObj() was removed (deprecated in 1.25).
ObjectFactory::getObjectFromSpec() should be used instead.
- The $uniq_prefix argument for Parser::extractTagsAndParams() and the
$prefix argument for StripState::_construct() are deprecated and their
value is ignored.
+* wfSuppressWarnings() and wfRestoreWarnings() were split into a separate library,
+ mediawiki/at-ease, and are now deprecated. Callers should use
+ MediaWiki\suppressWarnings() and MediaWiki\restoreWarnings() directly.
+* The Block class constructor now takes an associative array of parameters
+ instead of many optional positional arguments. Calling the constructor the old
+ way will issue a deprecation warning.
