[IT-SecNots] [MediaWiki-announce] MediaWiki 1.40 is End of Life

[Sam Reed <reedy AT wikimedia.org>]

(This is a re-send to mediawiki-announce, with a typo fix, as it seem
Mailman ate it)

As per the MediaWiki version lifecycle[1], I would like to announce the
formal end of life (EOL) of MediaWiki 1.40 as of today, Friday June 28,
2024.

1.40.4 is expected to be the last release for this branch.

This means that MediaWiki 1.40 will no longer receive maintenance or
security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue
to use it.

It is recommended to upgrade either to MediaWiki 1.41, which will be
supported until December 2024, or 1.42, which will be supported until June
2025.

Thanks!
