[IT-SecNots] [MediaWiki-announce] MediaWiki 1.36.0-rc.0 is ready for testing

[Tyler Cipriani <tcipriani AT wikimedia.org>]

I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of MediaWiki 1.36.0-rc.0,
the first release candidate for 1.36.x. Download links are at the end of the
e-mail. The tag has been signed and pushed to Git.

Please note that MediaWiki 1.36 now requires the PHP internationalization
extension, commonly referred to as Intl, ext-intl, or php-intl.

This is not a final release, and should not be used for production websites.
Known issues are tracked in Phabricator on the release workboard [1].

As always, please try out the release candidate in a test environment and do
report any issues that you discover. Please use the #MW-1.36-Release [2] tag
in Phabricator when reporting issues specific to this release, to make sure
that we find them as quickly as possible.

It is expected that MediaWiki 1.36 will become final in May 2021, though the
date may slip if blockers are identified.
