I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.39.15, 1.43.5 and 1.44.2 This release primarily serves as a security and maintenance release for these branches. REL1_39 had an issue with the VisualEditor extension backports. REL1_43 had missing backports for the DiscussionTools and Thanks extensions from. REL1_44 also had an issue with a backport for a CheckUser extension patch. This has been corrected in 1.44.2, but this unfortunately made another low severity XSS apparent in MediaWiki core which affects all release branches. This is tracked at T406322 under CVE-2025-11261. Some other changes may be included in these patches based on what has been merged to those branches in the meantime. The tarballs have already been uploaded as of this email, and the git tags have been pushed. Reports of bugs with PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 support are particularly welcome, and fixes will be back-ported when possible. Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.0_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.1_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.2_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.3_support/ and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.4_support/ for the relevant work boards. As a reminder, MediaWiki 1.35 became end of life (EOL) in December 2023, MediaWiki 1.40 became EOL in June 2024, MediaWiki 1.41 became EOL in December 2024 and MediaWiki 1.42 became EOL at the end of June 2025. MediaWiki 1.39 (the old LTS before 1.43) becomes EOL in December 2025. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to 1.43 (the next LTS after 1.39), which will be supported until December 2027. == Links to all mentioned tasks == * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T406322 ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.15.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.15.zip Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.15.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.15.zip Patch to previous version (1.39.14): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.15.patch.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.15.patch.zip GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.15.tar.... https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.15.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.15.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.15.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.15.patch.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.15.patch.zip...
