This will ship with MediaWiki 1.35.0.

VisualEditor installation instructions list Parsoid JS as a dependency. Wikitech-l just announced that Parsoid JS has been rewritten in PHP and that Wikimedia sites have transitioned to Parsoid PHP. Are new installation instructions available for Parsoid PHP?

See Wikitech-l Digest, Vol 197, Issue 16, Parsoid/PHP replaces Parsoid/JS on the Wikimedia cluster

It won't be available until at least MediaWiki 1.35.0, probably later.

Though not recommended because the code is still alpha, maybe you can experiment with it by updating to 1.35.0-wmf.15 (5baae39) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version says it's running that version).

Please do not encourage people to run alpha quality code in production. (Also, none of the Parsoid-as-a-library code has been written, let alone landed, yet; when it does, it'll appear in the list at Special:Version#mw-version-libraries).

Sorry about that, I've edited my previous comment.

We've been struggling quite a bit with Parsoid JS so I was a bit too excited about the future migration to PHP.

+1 for me also

Believe me, I understand. :-)
