[IT-SecNots] [MediaWiki-announce] MediaWiki 1.41.0-rc.0 is ready for testing

[James Forrester <jforrester AT wikimedia.org>]

I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of MediaWiki
1.41.0-rc.0, the first release candidate for 1.41.0. Download links
are at the end of the e-mail. The tag has been signed and pushed to
Git.

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 with every release of MediaWiki, a large number of
changes have landed in the six months of development (over 2300
commits since 1.40.0 was cut), and you should read over the
preliminary release notes as part of assuring yourself of areas that
may have issues with your configuration, your skins, and/or your
extensions.

As always, please try out the release candidate in a test environment
and do report any issues that you discover. Please use the
#MW-1.41-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 1.41 will become final next week. This
date may slip into next year if blockers are identified.
