MediaWiki 1.36/Roadmap

Wikimedia Foundation project MediaWiki 1.36 Deployment of MediaWiki 1.36.0-wmf.XX versions and release of MediaWiki 1.36 Group: Release Engineering Start: 2020-07-14 End: 2021-04-08 ← MediaWiki 1.35 MediaWiki 1.37 →

Timeline

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
