Release notes



This page links to the various release notes available at MediaWiki.org.

Release notes for point releases are included with the main release notes (e.g. release notes for 1.18.1 are added to the release notes for 1.18).

The release notes are also part of every MediaWiki distribution; the release notes for its version are in a RELEASE-NOTES-1.NN file, and all previous release notes going back to MediaWiki 1.4 are in the  file.

See MediaWiki lifecycle>Special:MyLanguage/Version lifecycle|version lifecycle for target dates of future releases.

The branch points are for internal and public releases.
