MediaWiki 1.36/Roadmap

Group:	Release Engineering
Start:	2020-07-14
End:	2021-04-08

Timeline[edit]

Wikimedia deployments of MediaWiki 1.36 alpha versions will happen on weekly intervals, within a longer stretch (approximately 6 months) between publishing releases of the installer for third-party users. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, release cadence slowed from six to approximately nine months for 1.35, and this is likely to continue for 1.36.

Current status: Done

Schedule for the deployments[edit]

See wikitech:Deployments for current schedule, dates, and times. See status board for current status. Below is a summary:
