Deployment of MediaWiki 1.20 to Wikimedia Foundation sites will start on Tuesday, April 10th, with MediaWiki.org and a test wiki (see the software deployments schedule for exact timing and addresses). Then, on Monday April 16th, we'll deploy to Wikimedia Commons and the other non-Wikipedia wikis. The 1.20 deployment will be our first deployment from Git rather than Subversion.

18:34, 18 April 2012 (UTC) - The deployment to all projects but Wikipedia is underway. We've just deployed to enwikisource. See the Wikitech server admin log for the very latest.

2012-04-19
MediaWiki 1.20wmf1 has been deployed to Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikiversity, Commons and most other non-Wikipedia sites. English Wikipedia is next, slated for Monday, April 23. The other Wikipedia languages will be upgraded on Wednesday, April 25. We haven't yet automated the process of rolling out to the other sites, so there may be some still on 1.19. These will be upgraded on Wednesday, April 25.

As of April 2012, core software deployments to Wikimedia sites are done from git (instead of Subversion) through incremental "wmf"-branches. The first deployment of the 1.20 release cycle, labeled 1.20wmf1, was deployed to all Wikimedia sites this month; it notably brought new diff colors for improve readability. The 1.20.0 stable tarball is expected to be released in fall of 2012.
