It is time again for a new MediaWiki release candidate.

Since last week, patches to fix the following bugs were included in the tarball:

Bug 46719: Remove link to Special:ActiveUsers from Special:Statistics
Bug 46493: Handle invalid titles on ProtectedPages and ProtectedTitles
Bug 46787: API: Fix rccontinue handling
Bug 40617: Installer can now customize the logo in LocalSettings.php

Newly reported, but not yet fixed, during testing of RC1:

Bug 46943: Job queue items from 1.20 get lost – need exit strategy for upgrade

Please download the release candidate and test it.  If you find any bugs
please report them on Bugzilla[1] and make sure I am added as a CC so
that we can fix any show-stoppers before the final release.

Don't forget to look over https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21 and 
make any corrections or additions that are needed since I'll be using a 
(lightly edited) version of that to make the final announcement.

Finally, I'll be preparing a third release candidate for next week.  Quim Gil 
wants to do a testing week during that time.  If you'd like to help me put 
together a testing plan for that week, let me know.
