mediawiki (1:1.27.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    MediaWiki has been updated to the 1.27 upstream release branch, which
    brings in about 4 years of upstream changes. Release notes may be found
    in /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/RELEASE-NOTES-1.27 and
    /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/changelog. Please see the "Upgrading" section
    of README.debian and /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/UPGRADE for details on
    what manual steps need to be taken to upgrade.

    Some highlights of new features:
    * Improvements to the appearance and performance of diffs
    * Better defaults for email notifications
    * Performance improvements in client-side JavaScript
    * Secure storage for passwords
    * Improved patrolling and anti-spam features out of the box
    * Additional language and internationalization support
    * Common extensions are bundled and can be enabled from the installer

    Note that the mediawiki-extensions* packages are no longer compatible
    with this version of MediaWiki, and are no longer supported.

    If you are upgrading from wheezy, you may encounter issues with prior
    apache2 configuration preventing the new one from being installed.
    Disabling the old one and copying over the new one from
    /etc/mediawiki/mediawiki.conf is recommended.
