Babel, CleanChanges

 * Only localisation updates.

CLDR

 * Updated to CLDR 25.
 * Localisation updates.

LocalisationUpdate
LocalisationUpdate is rewritten for JSON file format support for extensions. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.19 and above.
 * Extensions using JSON are fully supported and LocalisationUpdate will pickup new languages as they appear.
 * LocalisationUpdate will store translation using JSON file format.
 * MediaWiki core will be easy to convert to JSON once it supports JSON fully.

$wgLocalisationUpdateRepository
Default repository source to fetch translation. GitHub is set to default repository. This is added with version 1.1.

$wgLocalisationUpdateRepositories
Array of repositories URLs from which to retrieve localisations for core MediaWiki and extensions. Default is set to GitHub's MediaWiki Git repositories and you should not change this unless you're using this performance improvement or otherwise know what you're doing. This is added with version 1.1.

Script parameters changes
With version 1.1,

--repoid: Fetch translations from repositories identified by this

Noteworthy changes

 * Added support for insertables with numbers in the end on translatable pages.
 * Bug 54835: Use consistent link to mediawiki.org ULS page everywhere.
 * Improvements in TUX shortcuts: Fixed indicators for insertables which were only partially visible, possibly due to CSS change in core that reduced margin.
 * characterEditStats.php script uses RC table, mention $wgRCMaxAge limits.
 * Added a notice about ULS extension dependency.

Noteworthy changes

 * Compacting the interlanguage links with the ULS as new Beta feature. Displays a shorter version of the language list with the languages that are more relevant to you. More info at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/Design/Interlanguage_links
 * Bug 56081: Reset webfonts where we found inline css style upon reset. This fixes broken live preview of content font.
 * Migrated to JSON i18n file format.

Fonts

 * Updated Lohit Oriya font to new upstream version and renamed to Lohit Odia.
