 * New skins/common/*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
 * BREAKING CHANGE: CSS styling for the  wikitable class is now more specific to prevent it from affecting nested tables, which caused various issues (bug 30485 and bug 33434). If your wiki has overridden CSS rules for ".wikitable", please revise them and adjust where necessary. For comparison, use the "table.wikitable" section in skins/common/shared.css as base.
 * BREAKING CHANGE: Legacy global array 'ta' and global function 'akeytt' have been removed from wikibits.js.

 * New configuration variable has been introduced for this (set to false by default for new installations). Set to true if your wiki has a large amount of user/site scripts that are lacking dependency information. In the short to medium term these user/site scripts should be fixed by adding the used modules to the dependencies in the module registry and/or wrapping them in a callback to mw.loader.using.
