New features

 * Help:Page status indicators. You may want to adapt some templates and scripts on your wiki if you're e.g. adding icons on top right corner of the page.

Enhanced recent changes


MediaWiki now uses by default the extended watchlist and so called enhanced recent changes (preference ""), which also received several improvements in MediaWiki 1.24 and 1.25.

This means that Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist show all the changes to each page in a given day, sorted by page rather than chronologically. Changes to each page are collapsed by default and a compact overview is shown, with links to collated diffs and counts of each user's actions. Full activity for an individual page can then be shown with a single click.

Users will no longer need to know in detail how a single change was chosen for display in order to figure out what else may have happened to the page that day, nor to scan a long list of non-contiguous lines on the screen in order to get a complete picture. The change is part of MediaWiki's evolution towards an interface which is more discoverable and less cluttered by default, while equally easy to quickly access in full, with the help of JavaScript. However, the (grouped) layout is an improvement for non-JavaScript users as well.

Live preview
While editing, you're not sure what a wikitext syntax will produce? That's no longer a problem, now that live preview is no longer experimental. By enabling the feature in your preferences, MediaWiki will display real-time what's the effect of your edits, so that you can quickly correct any mistake without needing to reload the page for a preview.

Performance
Frontend performance work continues.
 * Some 4 KB of HTML less on each MediaWiki page.

Breaking changes

 * PHP 5.3.3 is now required to run MediaWiki.
 * The legacy skinning system, that uses skin autodiscovery, will be removed (deprecated since 1.23) and will be completely replaced with a new skinning system used like extensions on MediaWiki. This skinning system has been introduced with some minor changes since MediaWiki 1.12.
 * jQuery Migrate removed. Please see TODO on how to fix your local JavaScript.
 * The OpenSearchXml extension was merged into MediaWiki core. If you have it installed, you should undeploy it.

Configuration changes
More configuration defaults have been flipped, to reduce the strain needed by most administrators to get a sensibly-configured install. See the full release notes for details.

External libraries

 * TODO: legoktm will fill this in
