mediawiki (1:1.39.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    MediaWiki has been updated to the 1.39 upstream release branch, which
    brings in two years of upstream changes since 1.39. Release notes
    may be found in /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/RELEASE-NOTES-1.39` 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:
    * New bundled extensions:
      * AbuseFilters allows administrators set specific actions to be taken
        when actions by users, such as edits or file uploads, match certain
        criteria.
      * Math lets users create mathematical formulae written in a sub-set of
        LaTeX and rendered in MathML with a fallback SVG image.
    * There is a new bundled skin, Minerva, which provides a much simpler user
      interface and is much more aggressive about optimizing for performance so
      that it can cater for mobile users.
    * The logo of MediaWiki has changed. This means that the "Powered by
      MediaWiki" button shown in the skin footer will be different.
    * Administrators now have the option to delete/undelete the associated
      "Talk" page when they are (un)deleting a given page.
    * Added support for 42 new languages.

mediawiki (1:1.35.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    MediaWiki has been updated to the 1.35 upstream release branch, which
    brings in two years of upstream changes since 1.31. Release notes
    may be found in /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/RELEASE-NOTES-1.31` and

    of README.debian and /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/UPGRADE for details on

    The VisualEditor extension, which provides a rich-text editor for wiki
    pages is now included and can be enabled by adding:
        wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );
    to /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php.

    Some highlights of new features:
    * New bundled extensions:
      * PageImages and TextExtracts provide OpenGraph metadata for when wiki
        pages are shared on social media platforms.
      * TemplateData allows specifying how templates should be invoked,
        making it easier to add/modify them to pages in the VisualEditor.
      * Scribunto adds Lua as a scripting language to write templates in.
      * SecureLinkFixer automatically rewrites URLs to use HTTPS if the
        domain always requires HTTPS via the HSTS preload list.
    * Administrators can enact "partical blocks", restricting users from
      editing a specific page or namespace.
    * User rights to edit sitewide JavaScript/CSS were separated into a
      separate "interface-admin" group to improve security.
    * Users can now add pages to their watchlist for a limited amount of time.
    * Support for new languages: Ambonese Malay (abs),
      Shawiya (Latin script) (shy-latn), Batak Mandailing (btm),
      Standard Moroccan Tamazight (zgh), Manipuri (mni),
      Western Armenian (hyw), Mon (mnw), Eastern Pwo (kjp), Santali (sat),
      Saisiyat (xsy).
    * Multilingual images and SVGs will now display in the correct language.
