[IT-SecNots] [MediaWiki-announce] Announcing MediaWiki 1.45.0

[Mateus Santos <msantos AT wikimedia.org>]

I am happy to announce the availability of the general release of MediaWiki
1.45!

Tarballs have already been uploaded, and the git tag has been pushed.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this release, especially thanks to
those who tested out the release candidate and provided feedback, as well
as the developers who worked on fixes for the 1.45 final release. To see
what's changed in 1.45, see the release notes file.[0] If you encounter any
issues, please file a task.[1] You can see open tasks for the branch on
Phabricator.[2]

MediaWiki 1.45 is due to be supported until the end of December 2026.

It is noted that MediaWiki 1.39 is due to become end-of-life at the end of
December 31st 2025. A formal announcement will be made soon, and will
co-incide with the next security and maintenance release.
