= MediaWiki 1.35 =

MediaWiki 1.35 should mostly work on the recently released PHP 8.0, however
it is not currently actively supported. Testing (on a development wiki!) is
appreciated, and bugs with PHP 8.0 on MediaWiki 1.35 will be accepted.

It is anticipated that in a later MediaWiki 1.35 point release, we can
declare 1.35 as supporting PHP 8.0.

== MediaWiki 1.35.0-rc.0 ==

== Upgrading notes for 1.35 ==
1.35 requires PHP 7.3.19 or above (up from 7.2.9). (T257879)

1.35 has several database changes since 1.34, and will not work without schema
updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
many hours on a large site).

Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!

MediaWiki 1.35 is the next LTS after 1.31, and will be supported for around 3
years.

MediaWiki has a lot of both soft and hard deprecations, and code removed. As
always, make sure your versions of extensions match the MediaWiki version,
and updates may be required to any custom extensions.

See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.

Some specific notes for MediaWiki 1.35 upgrades are below:
* (T259685) When using SQLite as the database backend for MediaWiki,
  Zeroconf (zero-configuration) VisualEditor/Parsoid only works with
  MediaWiki 1.35.2 and above.  It is still recommended to use
  MySQL/MariaDB rather than SQLite when using VisualEditor.

For notes on 1.34.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

=== Configuration changes for system administrators in 1.35 ===

* (T72470) $wgLegacyJavaScriptGlobals is now false by default. This feature
  will be completely removed in a later MediaWiki release.

==== New configuration ====
* $wgDiffEngine — This can be used to specify the difference engine to use,
  rather than MediaWiki choosing the first of $wgExternalDiffEngine, wikidiff2,
  or php that is usable.
* $wgSearchMatchRedirectPreference — This configuration setting controls whether
  users can set a new preference, search-match-redirect, which decides if search
  should redirect them to exact matches is available. By default, this is set to
  false, which maintains the previous behaviour without preference bloat. Change
  your site's default by setting $wgDefaultUserOptions['search-match-redirect'].
* $wgPoolCounterConf['SpecialContributions'] — Per-user concurrency in the use
  of SpecialContributions can now be limited by setting this appropriately.
* $wgPasswordPolicy — PasswordCannotBeSubstringInUsername is a new password
  policy check. Similar to the existing PasswordCannotMatchUsername check, this
  check ensures that a user's (case-insensitive) password cannot be a part of
  their username. e.g. password = MyPass, username = ThisUsersPasswordIsMyPass.
* $wgLogos — This new configuration setting combines the now-deprecated $wgLogo
  and $wgLogoHD settings into a single, associative array. It provides support
  for a new key, 'wordmark', for setting a horizontal wordmark to show next to
  the graphical logo. To do this, set 'wordmark' to an array with 'src' set to
  the path of the wordmark image, and 'width' and 'height' for its dimensions
  in pixels. $wgLogos inherits the existing support provided by its predecessor
  settings: '1x' mapping to the path of the logo as a 135x135px raster image
  (equivalent to $wgLogo), and '1.5x', '2x', and 'svg' operating as before for
  $wgLogoHD. If $wgLogos is unset, $wgLogo and $wgLogoHD values are read for
  temporary backwards compatibility. (T232140)
* $wgWatchlistExpiry — (EXPERIMENTAL) This enables the new watchlist expiry
  feature. The database table (watchlist_expiry) for this is created regardless
  of this setting, but all other aspects of the expiry feature are controlled
  by it. Enabling in production is discouraged for the time being. A future
  MediaWiki 1.35 release will advertise this feature once it is stable.
* $wgWatchlistPurgeRate — This sets the chance of expired watchlist items being
  purged on each page edit. Only has effect if $wgWatchlistExpiry is true.
* $wgWatchlistExpiryMaxDuration — This is the maximum definite relative duration
  for watchlist expiries. Only has effect if $wgWatchlistExpiry is true.
* $wgImgAuthPath – This can be used to override the path prefix used when
  handling img_auth.php requests. (T235357)
* $wgAllowedCorsHeaders — This is a list of headers which can be used in a
  cross-site API request.
* $wgHTTPMaxTimeout and $wgHTTPMaxConnectTimeout — These allow site
  administrators to limit the timeouts used by the HTTP client libraries.
  This only affects callers using HttpRequestFactory and the deprecated
  wrappers in the Http class.
* $wgCdnMaxageStale — This controls the Cache-Control s-maxage header for page
  views when PoolCounter lock contention indicates that a stale cache entry
  should be sent.
* $wgForceHTTPS — This makes the HTTP to HTTPS redirect be unconditional and
  suppresses various hacks needed to support mixed HTTP/HTTPS wikis. We
  recommend this be set to true on pure HTTPS wikis.
* $wgCookieSameSite — This setting allows login cookies to be sent with
  SameSite=None. This is required for cross-site CentralAuth auto-login after
  Chrome 84.
* $wgUseSameSiteLegacyCookies — This adds a compatibility hack to
  SameSite=None cookies for browsers which implemented an incompatible draft
  version of the specification.

==== Changed configuration ====
* $wgResourceLoaderMaxage (T235314) — This configuration array controls the
  max-age for HTTP caching through the Cache-Control header. It has uses the
  "versioned" key for urls that do have a version parameter, and the
  "unversioned" key for urls without a version parameter. The sub keys for
  "client" and "server" are no longer supported in MediaWiki 1.35.
* $wgEnableOpenSearchSuggest — This boolean variable is deprecated and no longer
  used. The OpenSearch API is now always enabled.
* $wgAuthManagerConfig and $wgAuthManagerAutoConfig — These can now use the
  'services' option in provider specifications.
* $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] —
  - The defaults have been updated. If you were relying on the default values,
    you may need to update your configuration.
  - The 'URL' parameter, previously allowed for backwards-compatibility, has
    been deprecated. Use 'url' instead.
* $wgXmlDumpSchemaVersion — Default is now set to XML_DUMP_SCHEMA_VERSION_11, so
  dumps use the new dump format per default. Consumers of XML dumps should not
  be affected if they ignore any unknown tags they encounter. Also, the format
  is effectively unchanged for revisions that only contain the main slot. The
  --schema-version option can be used with the dumpBackup.php script to set the
  dump format. (T238921)
* $wgParserConf — This configuration is now deprecated. It has been
  effectively constant since 2008, and is ignored by core code.
  Configure the ParserFactory service in order to customize the Parser used.
* $wgAutoloadAttemptLowercase — This has been deprecated, and the default value
  changed to false.
* $wgAllowImageMoving — This configuration setting is now deprecated. Instead,
  use $wgGroupPermissions; e.g., to revoke sysops' ability to move images use
  $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['movefile'] = false.
* $wgAllowImageTag — This configuration is now deprecated; future parsers will
  not support direct use of the HTML <img> tag in wikitext.
* $wgUseTwoButtonsSearchForm — This has been deprecated. If you maintain a skin
  that relies on this and wishes to let system administrators change it, you
  should convert it to a config variable specific to your skin. If you're using
  it to configure your wiki, you should check individual skins to see whether
  they have local skin config for the feature and use that.
* $wgPasswordPolicy — The deprecated policy 'PasswordCannotBePopular' has been
  removed. Use PasswordNotInCommonList instead which covers many more passwords.
* Backwards compatibility for using an associative array
  (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' => 'bad-ip' ]) for $wgProxyList has been removed. This
  was deprecated since 1.30. Please convert these arrays to indexed/sequential
  ones (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' ]).
* $wgShellRestrictionMethod — This now defaults to 'autodetect', which will
  enable sandboxing for shell commands using firejail, if it's installed. To
  disable restrictions, set it to false.
* $wgLegacyJavaScriptGlobals – This deprecated setting now default to false,
  instead of true, ahead of its planned removal.

==== Removed configuration ====
* $wgSysopEmailBans — This setting, deprecated in 1.34, was removed. To let
  sysops block email access, use $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['blockemail'].
* $wgDBWindowsAuthentication — This setting had no effect anymore after support
  for SQL Server was removed in 1.34. (T230418)
* $wgProfileOnly — This setting, deprecated in 1.23, was removed. The profiler
  output should instead be configured via $wgProfiler['output'].
* $wgProfileLimit — This setting, deprecated in 1.25, was removed.
  Set $wgProfiler['threshold'] instead.
* $wgDebugTimestamps — This setting was removed. It affected the text output
  produced via $wgDebugComments, if enabled.
* $wgSkipSkin — This setting, deprecated in 1.23, was removed. To disable a
  skin from being shown, use $wgSkipSkins.
* $wgUseSquid, $wgSquidServers, $wgSquidServersNoPurge, and $wgSquidMaxage —
  These, deprecated in 1.34, have been removed. Use $wgUseCdn, $wgCdnServers,
  $wgCdnServersNoPurge, or $wgCdnMaxAge instead.
* $wgDisableCounters — This, deprecated in 1.25, was removed. The feature that
  it controlled was already removed in 1.26, but the variable remained existent
  with a value of `false` for backward-compatibility.
* $wgMaxGeneratedPPNodeCount — This setting was removed. It only affected
  Preprocessor_DOM, which was deprecated in 1.34 and removed in this release.
* $wgFixArabicUnicode and $wgFixMalayalamUnicode — These, deprecated in 1.33,
  were removed. The fixes are now always enabled for their respective languages.
* $wgAllowTitlesInSVG — This, unused and deprecated since 1.34, was removed.
* $wgEnablePartialBlocks — This setting, deprecated when it was added in 1.33,
  was removed. Partial blocks are now always enabled.
* $wgLocalInterwiki — This setting, deprecated in 1.23, has been removed.
* $wgContentHandlerUseDB — This setting, deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
* $wgMultiContentRevisionSchemaMigrationStage — This setting must no longer
  be set locally. If the migration stage was set to anything other than
  SCHEMA_COMPAT_NEW locally, update.php must be run after removing the setting.
  Usage of the setting in code is deprecated. The setting will be removed
  completely in 1.36.
* $wgEnableRestAPI — This setting is no longer obeyed by MediaWiki core, and
  should not be set set locally. Usage of the setting in code is deprecated; it
  is now set true by default. The setting will be removed completely in 1.36.
* $wgObjectCaches — The 'slaveOnly' option for SqlBagOStuff, deprecated in 1.34,
  was removed. Use 'replicaOnly' instead.

=== New user-facing features in 1.35 ===
* (T204618) Whitelisted the aria-hidden HTML attribute for all elements in
  wikitext.
* (T13456) Special:EditPage, Special:PageHistory, Special:PageInfo, and
  Special:Purge have been created as shortcuts for each action.
  Special:EditPage/Foo redirects to title=foo&action=edit, with PageHistory,
  PageInfo, and Purge corresponding to action= history, info, and purge
  respectively. When linked to, its subpage is used as the target. Otherwise,
  it displays a basic interface to allow the end user to specify the target
  manually.
* (T139221) The generated table of contents is now a navigation landmark role
  for assistive technologies.
* (T245931) interwiki map API doesn't report foreign language if
  $wgInterwikiMagic=false
* The form at ?action=watch has a new dropdown list to support expiry dates for
  watchlist items (if $wgWatchlistExpiry is true).

=== New developer features in 1.35 ===
* A Docker based local development develpoment environment configuration is
  included (T238224) and DEVELOPERS.md has been added with usage documentation
  and links to further help.
* If CSP is enabled, extensions can now add additional sources using the
  ContentSecurityPolicy::addDefaultSource, ::addStyleSrc and ::addScriptSrc
  methods (e.g. $context->getOutput()->getCSP()->addDefaultSrc( 'example.com' ))
* Extensions can now specify classes and namespaces to be autoloaded by the
  test autoloader, by setting the "TestAutoloadNamespaces" and
  "TestAutoloadClasses" properties in extension.json. (T196090)
* (T250977) extension.json now allows "SearchMappings" which maps the canonical
  name of the search engine (used in wgSearchType and wgSearchTypeAlternatives)
  to a specification using the ObjectFactory specification. This allows
  extensions to register Search Engines using namespaced classes.
* Added getters for OutputPage's robot, index and follow policies;
  getRobotPolicy() returns the entire policy as a string in the form
  <index policy>,<follow policy> while getIndexPolicy() and getFollowPolicy()
  return their respective policies as a string.
* The ResourceLoaderSiteModulePages and ResourceLoaderSiteStylesModulePages
  hooks were added to allow changing which wiki pages these modules contain.
* The SkinFactory now allows skins to be specified as an ObjectFactory spec,
  allowing the construction of skins with services injected.
* ContentHandlerFactory for most ContentHandler static methods. It has been
  added to the constructors for many classes to improve SOLID / GRASP.
* FileDeleteForm's constructor now accepts a user as the second parameter.
  Support for not passing a user has also been hard-deprecated and will be
  removed in 1.36.
* The ParserPreSaveTransformComplete hook was added.
* The ParserBeforePreprocess hook was added.
* The ResourceLoaderSkinModule class now has a "legacy" feature that loads
  the stylesheets previously part of the "mediawiki.legacy.shared" and
  "mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint" module.
  Those modules are now deprecated and no longer loaded by skins.
  For skins needing to retain these styles, you will need to load these
  styles via a module using the ResourceLoaderSkinModule class.
  See Vector and Monobook for examples.
* ParserOutput now has methods addExtraCSPStyleSrc, addExtraCSPDefaultSrc
  addExtraCSPScriptSrc for parser tags/functions to be able to add sources
  to the Content Security Policy.
* The HtmlCacheUpdater service was added to unify the logic of purging CDN cache
  and HTML file cache to simplify callers and make them more consistent.
* The MultiHttpClient code will fallover to non-curl if curl_multi* is blocked.
* Preferences which use HTMLTitlesMultiselectField can make use of
  MultiTitleFilter class for saving title text to/from article IDs in user
  preferences.
* OutputPage::addHtmlClasses() was added to allow injecting CSS classes on
  to the <html> element on page load.
* The SkinAddFooterLinks hook is added to allow extensions to add items to skin
  footers. Previously this had to be done via SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec.
  Doing so using that hook is now hard deprecated.
* A new BlockPermissionChecker service was introduced for checking
  block-related permissions.
* The support of 'database' type of extensions has been added to allow 3d party
  databases like Percona be used as storage. See T226857, T253248.
* Three new return parameters have been added to the
  EditPageGetCheckboxesDefinition hook. Handlers of this hook are no longer
  restricted to defining checkboxes. See the documentation of
  EditPage::getCheckboxesDefinition() for more details.
* New flag File::RENDER_TMP was added in order to allow
  File::generateAndSaveThumb and File::trasform to render a thumbnail without
  saving it to the storage.

==== Removed external libraries ====
* phpunit/php-invoker (dev-only).
  Removing this unbreaks development on Windows systems, in exchange for losing
  time limits in running unit tests.
* The jquery.getAttrs module was removed.

=== Action API changes in 1.35 ===
* The 'suggest' parameter of action=opensearch has been deprecated.
  The API behaves the same with and without this parameter.
  It was previously used by $wgEnableOpenSearchSuggest to partially
  disable the API if set to false. Specifically, it would deny internal
  frontend requests carrying this parameter, whilst accepting other requests.
* Integer-type parameters are now validated for syntax rather than being
  interpreted in surprising ways. For example, the following will now return a
  badinteger error:
  - "1.9" (formerly interpreted as "1")
  - " 1" (formerly interpreted as "1")
  - "1e1" (formerly interpreted as "1" or "10", depending on the PHP version)
  - "1foobar" (formerly interpreted as "1")
  - "foobar" (formerly intepreted as "0")
  parameters. Ranges should be assumed to be enforced.
* Many user-type parameters now accept a user ID, formatted like "#12345".
* The 'assert' parameter used by all API modules now supports the value 'anon'.
  When specified, the API will return the 'assertanonfailed' error if the user
  is logged in.
* action=edit now supports  the 'baserevid' parameter for edit conflict
  detection, as an alternative to 'basetimestamp'. Note that self-conflicts
  will continue to be ignored if 'basetimestamp' is set, but not if only
  'baserevid' is set.
* A new module was added to change the content model of existing pages.
  Use action=changecontentmodel. Unlike Special:ChangeContentModel, the api
  module does not work for pages that do not already exist.
* If $wgWatchlistExpiry is true, the following API changes are made:
  - action=watch accepts a new 'expiry' parameter analagous to the expiry
    accepted by action=userrights, action=block, etc., except it must be no
    greater than $wgWatchlistExpiryMaxDuration, or an infinity value.
  - action=query&list=watchlistraw returns pages' watchlist expiry dates.
* (T249526) action=login will now return Failed rather than NeedToken on
  session loss.

=== Action API internal changes in 1.35 ===
* The Action API now uses the Wikimedia\ParamValidator library for parameter
  validation, which brings some new features and changes. For the most part
  existing module code should work as it did before, but see subsequent notes
  for changes.
  - The values for all ApiBase PARAM_* constants have changed. Code should have
    been using the constants rather than hard-coding the values.
  - Several ApiBase PARAM_* constants have been deprecated, see the in-class
    documentation for details. Use the equivalent ParamValidator constants
    instead.
  - The value returned for 'upload'-type parameters has changed from
    WebRequestUpload to Psr\Http\Message\UploadedFileInterface.
* Validation of 'user'-type parameters is more flexible. PARAM constants exist
  to specify the type of "user" allowed and to request UserIdentity objects
  rather than name strings. The default is to accept all types (name, IP,
  range, and interwiki) that were formerly accepted.
* Maximum limits are no longer ignored in "internal mode".
* The $paramName to ApiBase::handleParamNormalization() should now include the
  prefix.
* (T245931) meta=siteinfo&siprop=interwikimap no longer reports language or
  extralanglink when $wgInterwikiMagic is false.

=== Languages updated in 1.35 ===
MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated regularly.
Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as changes to languages
because of Phabricator reports.

* The default targets for the ISBN search from Special:BookSources in English
  have been updated for better international suppport. They will now be
  BetterWorldBooks.com, OpenLibrary.org and Worldcat.org.
* (T237672) Changed the Moroccan Arabic language (ary) to the Arabic script.
* (T201269) Added language support for Amis (ami).
* (T248299) Added language support for Inari Sami (smn).
* (T251369) Added language support for Ladin (lld).
* (T251369) Added language support for Seediq (trv), also known as Taroko.
* (T254854) Added language support for Southern Altay (alt).

=== Breaking changes in 1.35 ===
* MediaWiki no longer supports PHP 7.2; use PHP 7.3.19+ (T228346, T257879).
* ResourceLoader::getLessVars(), deprecated in 1.32, was removed.
  Use ResourceLoaderModule::getLessVars() instead.

  Use the mediawiki.util module instead.
* The easy-deflate.inflate module, unused since 1.32, was removed.
* The easy-deflate.deflate module was removed. Use the mediawiki.deflate
  module instead.

  deprecated in 1.34, have been removed. Use "jquery.ui" instead.
* (T235457) The "user.tokens" module has been removed.
  Use "user.options" instead.
* (T251855) The mw.Map#exists method in JavaScript no longer supports checking
  multiple keys. This affects mw.config.exists() and mw.user.tokens.exists().
* The internal variable $constructorOptions for the Parser & SpecialPageFactory,
  exposed only for integration purposes, are now each replaced by a const called
  CONSTRUCTOR_OPTIONS. This was a breaking change made without deprecation.
* ObjectCache::getWANInstance, deprecated in 1.34, was removed.
  Use MediaWikiServices::getMainWANObjectCache instead.
* ObjectCache::newWANCacheFromParams, deprecated in 1.34, was removed.

* (T231366) The ProfilerOutputDb class and profileinfo.php entry point,
  deprecated in 1.34, was removed.
* SiteConfiguration->localVHosts, deprecated in 1.25, was removed.
  Use $wgLocalVirtualHosts instead.
* The $wgContLanguageCode read-only variable was removed.
  It has been a non-configurable copy of $wgLanguageCode since MW 1.8 (2006).
  Use $wgLanguageCode directly instead.

* AbstractBlock::mReason, deprecated in 1.34, is no longer public.
* The GetBlockedStatus and UserIsHidden, deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
  Instead, use the GetUserBlock hook.

  been made, principally in related methods and properties being removed or made
  private:
  - disableCache(), deprecated in 1.28.
  - serializeHalfParsedText() and the helpers unserializeHalfParsedText(),
    isValidHalfParsedText(), and StripState::getSubState() and
    StripState::merge(), all deprecated in 1.31. The helper functions
    LinkHolderArray::mergeForeign() and LinkHolderArray::getSubArray()
    were also removed.
  - getConverterLanguage(), deprecated in 1.32. Use getTargetLanguage() instead.
  - A large set of methods exposed only for historical reasons, deprecated in
    1.34, have now been removed or made private:

    - ::$mLangLinkLanguages
    - ::$currentRevisionCache
    - ::$mProfiler

  - Parser::getTitle() will now throw a TypeError if $mTitle is uninitialized.
    This use pattern was deprecated in 1.34.
  - ContentHandler::makeParserOptions(), deprecated in 1.32, was removed. Use
    WikiPage::makeParserOptions() or ParserOptions::newCanonical() instead.
  - The ParserAfterUnstrip hook, believed to be unused, was removed without
    deprecation.
  - Preprocessor_DOM and related classes, deprecated in 1.34, have been removed.
    Consequently, the related ParserOptions::getMaxGeneratedPPNodeCount() and
    ::setMaxGeneratedPPNodeCount() have been removed without deprecation.
  - The support for the old signature for ParserFactory::__construct, which was
    deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
  - Parser::getDefaultPreprocessorClass(), deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
* MediaWikiTestCase::prepareServices(), deprecated in 1.32, has been removed
* The method ContentHandler::getSlotDiffRendererInternal is replaced with
  ContentHandler::getSlotDiffRendererWithOptions. This breaks consumers which
  call parent::getSlotDiffRendererInternal (no instances of which are known).
* TextContent::getHighlightHtml, deprecated since 1.24, has been removed. Use
  TextContent::getHtml instead.
* ExtensionRegistry::load(), deprecated in 1.34, was removed. Instead, use
  ExtensionRegistry::queue().
* MWMessagePack class, deprecated in 1.34, was removed.
* The cdb.php maintenance script was removed. Use the 'cdb' command from the

* FileBasedSiteLookup class, deprecated in 1.33, was removed.
* The wfGlobalCacheKey global function, deprecated in 1.30, was removed.
* The APCBagOStuff class was removed. MediaWiki requires PHP 7.2+ (support
  for HHVM was dropped) and these versions of PHP only support apcu. The default
  "apc" entry in $wgObjectCaches now refers to APCUBagOStuff.
* Database::bufferResults(), deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
* CannotReplaceActiveServiceException, ContainerDisabledException,
  DestructibleService, NoSuchServiceException, SalvageableService,
  ServiceAlreadyDefinedException, ServiceContainer and ServiceDisabledException
  in the global namespace, deprecated in 1.33, were removed. Use the classes in
  the MediaWiki\\Services namespace instead.
* The following methods in the Interwiki class were removed: ::fetch(),
  ::isValidInterwiki(), ::invalidateCache(), and ::getAllPrefixes().
* The UsersMultiselectWidget config 'allowArbitrary' is now false by default. To
  accept arbitrary entries, pass in true for this config.
* OutputPage::parse() and OutputPage::parseInline(), deprecated in 1.32, have
  been removed. Use ::parseAsContent() or ::parseAsInterface(), as
  appropriate.
* WikiPage::selectFields, deprecated in 1.31, was removed. Use ::getQueryInfo.
* The remaining static methods for MagicWord, deprecated in 1.32, were removed.
  These were MagicWord::get(), ::getSubstIDs(), ::getDoubleUnderscoreArray(),
  ::getVariableIDs(), and ::getCacheTTL(). Instead, use MagicWordFactory (via
  MediaWikiServices).
* ApiBase::checkTitleUserPermissions no longer accepts a User as the third
  parameter. Passing a user was deprecated in 1.33.
* Sanitizer::setupAttributeWhitelist() and Sanitizer::attributeWhitelist(),
  deprecated in 1.34, have been removed. They should not have been public.
* Passing a sequential array as the second parameter to
  Sanitizer::validateAttributes() has been deprecated; use an associative
  array where keys are the allowed attributes.

  its introduction in 1.28, has been removed.
* SpecialRecentChanges::filterByCategories(), deprecated in 1.31, was removed.
* The `ArticleContentViewCustom` hook, deprecated in 1.32, was removed.
* AuthManager::callLegacyAuthPlugin, deprecated in 1.33, was removed.

* HistoryPager::revLink, ::curLink, ::lastLink, and ::diffButtons, which had
  no visibilities defined, have been made private to allow signature changes.
* SpecialNewpages::revisionFromRcResult, which previously was protected, has
  been made private to allow a signature change.
* DifferenceEngine::$mOldRev and $mNewRev, deprecated for public access in
  1.32, have been removed.
* DifferenceEngine::revisionDeleteLink, which was previosuly protected, has
  been made private to allow a signature change.
* DifferenceEngine::getParserOutput, which is protected, has had a breaking
  signature change: the second parameter must be a RevisionRecord object,
  rather than a Revision object.
* WikiPage::setLastEdit, which was previously protected, has been made
  private to allow a signature change.
* Skin::getSkinNameMessages() deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.

* The Skin no longer loads the "mediawiki.legacy.shared" or
  "mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint" modules. The legacy shared styles must now
  be loaded by the skin explicitly, either inherited via the
  "mediawiki.skinning.*" modules, or by making your skin's main styles
  module use the ResourceLoaderSkinModule class with the "legacy" attribute.
  See Vector and Monobook for examples.
* Passing an ApiMain to the constructor of ApiResult is no longer supported.
  This was deprecated in 1.25.
* ResourceLoaderWikiModule::invalidateModuleCache has been declared to

  modifyTable(), modifyField(), runMaintenance(), copyFile(), appendLine().
  In PostgresUpdater, the following methods are no longer public:

  deprecation due to immediate danger of data corruption and loss, see T157651.
  Extensions should instead use dropExtensionTable(),
  modifyExtensionExtensionTable(), modifyExtensionField(), addExtensionUpdate().
  The addExtensionUpdate() method can still be used to access any of the
  protected methods on DatabaseUpdater.

  array parameter. Use Title objects (or other LinkTarget) instead.
* Unused CommentStore::MAX_COMMENT_LENGTH has been removed.
* User::checkTemporaryPassword() and User::checkPassword(), deprecated in 1.27,
  were removed. Use AuthManager instead.
* All constants and class functions now have explicit visibility modifiers. This
  means, per [[mw:Stable interface policy]], that these should now be considered
  stable. This also helps MW align with PSR 2 and PSR 12. This was done based on
  audits of the corpus of skins and extensions hosted in Gerrit. If you find any
  that you need to be less restrictive (i.e. public or protected), please report
  these so that we can re-evaluate or suggest workarounds.
* BaseTemplate::msgWiki(), deprecated in 1.33, was removed. Use ->msg() or
  ->getMsg() instead.

  ILBFactory::getChronologyProtectorTouched() were changed without backwards
  compatibility.
* The deprecated $blacklist parameter to wfIsBadImage() has been removed.
* SpecialBlock::checkUnblockSelf no longer accepts an integer representing

* (T257278) Calling MediaWiki\Shell\Command::restrict() will now overwrite
  any previous restrictions rather than adding to them, making it possible to
  disable the default restrictions.

=== Deprecations in 1.35 ===
* The PHPUnit4And6Compat class, used to provide compatibility with PHPUnit 4, is
  now deprecated. MediaWiki support for PHPUnit 4 ended with the removal of HHVM
  support.
* LockManagerGroup::getDefault() and LockManagerGroup::getAny() are deprecated.
  They seem to be unused. Just use get() directly, and catch any exception.
* AbstractBlock::getPermissionsError and AbstractBlock::getBlockErrorParams are
  deprecated. Use BlockErrorFormatter::getMessage instead.
* The IP class is deprecated. Please instead use the Wikimedia\IPUtils class
  from the new wikimedia/ip-utils library instead. Additionally, the RE_IP_*
  constants are also deprecated. RE_IP_BYTE can be replaced with a class
  constant on the IPUtils class, while the others will eventually be made
  private.
* The following Language methods are deprecated: getFallbackFor,
  getFallbacksFor, getFallbacksIncludingSiteLanguage. Use the corresponding new
  methods on the LanguageFallback class: getFirst, getAll, and
  getAllIncludingSiteLanguage.
* FileJournal::factory is deprecated. Use the constructor directly instead.
* AbstractBlock methods setBlocker(), getBlocker() are deprecated and will
  become internal implementation of DatabaseBlock.
* Title::countRevisionsBetween has been deprecated and moved into RevisionStore.
* FileBackendGroup::singleton() is deprecated. Use MediaWikiServices instead.
* FileBackendGroup::destroySingleton() is deprecated. Test frameworks should
  instead reset MediaWikiServices between test runs.
  (MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase does this automatically.)
* GenderCache::singleton(), deprecated in 1.28, is hard deprecated. Use
  MediaWikiServices::getGenderCache() instead.
* MediaWikiIntegrationTest::setContentLang() has been deprecated. Use
  setMwGlobals( 'wgLanguageCode', 'xxx' ) to set a different site language
  code, or setService( 'ContentLanguage', $myObj ) to set a specific Language
  object. Service resets and $wgContLang will be handled automatically.
* MediaWikiIntegrationTest::assertType() has been deprecated, as part of the
  work to move to PHPUnit 8; PHPUnit's assertInternalType() was deprecated, and
  will be removed in PHPUnit 9. MediaWikiIntegrationTest::assertTypeOrValue(),
  a wrapper for assertType(), has been removed immediately, without deprecation.
* AbstractBlock::getReason is deprecated, since reasons are actually stored as
  CommentStoreComments, and getReason returns a string with no caller control
  over language or formatting. Instead use AbstractBlock::getReasonComment,
  which returns the CommentStoreComment.
* The global function wfGetRusage() is deprecated and will now always call the
  getrusage() function without checking for its existence.
* The properties User::mBlock, User::mBlockedby and User::mHideName are
  deprecated. Instead, use User::getBlock to get the block, then use
  AbstractBlock::getByName or AbstractBlock::getHideName.Use the GetUserBlock
  hook to set, unset or modify a block, including hiding or unhiding a user.
* Directly calling the MergeHistory constructor is deprecated. Instead, use the
  new MergeHistoryFactory class.
* Language::factory() and Language::getParentLanguage() are deprecated, and so
  is directly calling the Language constructor. Use the new LanguageFactory
  class instead.
* Language::classFromCode() is deprecated. There is no reason it should be used
  outside the Language class itself.
* Language::clearCaches() is deprecated. Instead, reset all services and set
  Language::$mLangObjCache = [].

  Use LanguageFallback::MESSAGES and LanguageFallback::STRICT respectively
* Language::$mLangObjCache is deprecated and should be removed in 1.36. Use
  MediaWikiServices instead to get a LanguageFactory.
* Language::getMessagesFor(), getMessageFor(), and getMessageKeysFor() are
  deprecated. Use LocalisationCache's getItem(), getSubitem(), and
  getSubitemList() methods directly.
* OutputPage::getCSPNonce() is deprecated, use OutputPage::getCSP()->getNonce()
  instead.
* DerivedPageDataUpdater::prepareUpdate accepted as its second parameter an
  optional array of options. Specifying the value of the `oldrevision` key of
  the array to be a Revision object, rather than a RevisionRecord object, is
  hard deprecated. The same applies to the options parameter in
  WikiPage::doEditUpdates.
* Skin::makeI18nUrl() and makeNSUrl() have been deprecated, no longer used.
* Title::countAuthorsBetween and Title::getAuthorsBetween were hard deprecated.
  Use respective methods in RevisionStore instead.

  WebRequest::checkUrlExtension() has been deprecated, and now always returns
  true.
* The following ApiBase::PARAM_* constants have been deprecated in favor of
  equivalent ParamValidator constants: PARAM_DFLT, PARAM_ISMULTI, PARAM_TYPE,
  PARAM_MAX, PARAM_MAX2, PARAM_MIN, PARAM_ALLOW_DUPLICATES, PARAM_DEPRECATED,

  PARAM_ISMULTI_LIMIT1, PARAM_ISMULTI_LIMIT2, PARAM_MAX_BYTES, PARAM_MAX_CHARS.
* ApiBase::explodeMultiValue() is deprecated. Use
  ParamValidator::explodeMultiValue() instead.
* ApiBase::parseMultiValue() is deprecated. No replacement is provided;
  generally this sort of thing should be handled by fully validating the
  parameter.
* ApiBase::validateLimit() and ApiBase::validateTimestamp() are deprecated.
  Use ApiParamValidator::validateValue() with an appropriate settings array
  instead.
* ContentHandler (use ContentHandlerFactory):
  - getForTitle

  - getForModelID
  - getContentModels
  - getAllContentFormats
  - protected $handler (not need anymore)

  - Parser::setFunctionTagHook()
  - Parser::attributeStripCallback()
  - Parser::fetchTemplate() - use Parser::fetchTemplateAndTitle() instead.
  - Parser::enableOOUI() - use $parser->getOutput()->enableOOUI() instead.
  - LinkHolderArray has been deprecated for public usage and will be
    internal part of parser.
  - The following parser-related hooks have been deprecated:
    - InternalParseBeforeSanitize
        Use an alternative hook which doesn't expose internal half-parsed state,
        like ParserBeforeInternalParse or ParserAfterTidy
    - ParserFetchTemplate
        Use BeforeParserFetchTemplateAndTitle
    - ParserSectionCreate
        No replacement; <section> tag wrapping will be done by core in future.
    - BeforeParserrenderImageGallery
        No replacement; MediaHandler provides for customizable media rendering
    - ParserBeforeTidy
        Use ParserAfterTidy instead to avoid exposing internal half-parsed state

  - ParserOptions::setAllowExternalImages(), ::setAllowExternalImagesFrom(),
    and ::setEnableImageWhitelist() have been deprecated.  Future parsers
    will not allow per-parser configuration of image filtering; use

  - ParserOptions::getTidy() and ParserOptions::setTidy() have been deprecated.
    These options no longer have any effect.
  - Most methods of MWTidy, except for MWTidy::tidy(), have been deprecated;
    tidiness is always enabled and not configurable.
  - Version 1 of the parserTests file format has been deprecated. You'll need to
    update your parser tests to version 2, which uses Remex tidy on all test
    output by default. Support for parser tests with Remex tidy off will later
    be removed entirely.
  - $wgParser — This global variable, soft deprecated in 1.32, has now been hard
    deprecated. Use MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getParser() instead.

  instead relying on the global $wgUser. A user parameter has been added,
  and //not// providing a user is deprecated. There are no known callers
  outside of mediawiki core.
* AuthManager::singleton() has been deprecated. Use
  MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getAuthManager() instead.
* ContribsPager::tryToCreateValidRevision is hard deprecated. Instead, use

    referencing content_models.model_id
  - revision.rev_content_format, replaced by automatic detecting in
    ContentHandler
  - archive.ar_text_id, replaced by content.content_address

  progressing. The following fields were unused and have been removed:
  - revision.rev_comment,
    replaced by rev_comment_id referencing comment.comment_id.
  - revision.rev_user and rev_user_text,
    replaced by rev_actor referencing actor.actor_id.
  Note that archive.ar_user, archive.ar_user_text, and archive.ar_comment
  had already been removed in previous releases.
* The printableversion has been marked as deprecated per T167956.

  on a custom port other than 5432.
