In December, the latest and greatest version of MediaWiki was released, 1.22. This was lead by Mark Hershberger and Markus Glaser, working as the MediaWiki release team, along with help from the Wikimedia Foundation Release and QA team (specifically Greg Grossmeier and Antoine Musso). Of course, this was only possible because of the great work by all of the MediaWiki developers.

The QA team, along with Multimedia team, is working on API level tests starting with UploadWizard. This is close to being done. Another API level testing activity is Parsoid, with help from VE and CI (Antoine) teams.

You can take a look at the first draft of the updated Development and Deployment process flow chart.
