MediaWiki 1.21/wmf2

Deployment of MediaWiki 1.21wmf2 to Wikimedia sites
The latest version (labeled "1.21wmf2 ") of MediaWiki, the software that powers Wikipedia and its sister sites, is being deployed to all Wikimedia sites in stages.

Deployment started on Monday, October 15 and continues until Wednesday, October 24 (see the roadmap).

We will continue to deploy the latest software every two weeks. This is intended to minimize disruption and possible issues, and make it easier to identify the cause of problems, since the possibly problematic code will be much more recent.

The biggest changes

 * 1) The new ContentHandler might affect diff rendering, handing of CSS and JavaScript pages, import/export (including PDF export), and API stuff, especially when rendering and editing.  Also look out for issues in template rendering, images and media handling, localisation, and mobile device access.  (merged on Oct 9)
 * 2) High-resolution image support.  This work-in-progress will try to give higher-res images to high-density screens that can support it, like new Retina displays.  More info at  .  One of the bigger risks of the high res stuff is load-based, since we may see substantial new load on our image scalers. So *all* image scaling might be impacted. (merged on Oct 11)
 * 3) The CologneBlue skin has been refactored.
 * 4) "Sites" is a new backend to represent and store information about sites and site-specific configuration.  This code  is meant to replace the current interwiki code, but does not do so just yet.  Still, keep an eye out for site-specific configuration or interwiki issues.
