This is RC4 for 1.21.0 due to be released on May 15, 2013.  The
patches included since RC3 are after the download instructions.

While testing this release candidate, I discovered a bug in the
installer (Bug #47489) which I would like to get fixed before a final
release.

I've changed the list of bugs I would like to see fixed in the next
couple of weeks before release to 3 installer-only bugs:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/43817
    Include short descriptions for extensions bundled in the release

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/46802
    Enabling extensions during install process displays empty readonly
    textbox on status page

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/47489
    white screen after no db selection

I'll take a stab at these, but I appreciate any help you guys can give.

commit 29d3243339f836ad13a722762e4b0f7056ee3764

    Add parser method to call parser functions

    There is currently no straightforward way for anything to call a
    parser function and get the result. This abstracts out that portion
    of braceSubstitution() to allow this.

    The immediate motivation for this patch is to close bug 41769
    against Scribunto, see I0138836654b0e34c5c23daaedcdf5d4f9d1c7ab2.

    Revert "Remove link to Special:ActiveUsers from Special:Statistics"

    Special:ActiveUsers still seems to be in REL1_21, and
    there is a pending change set (Ib43b4205) to add back
    the special page on the master branch.

    This reverts commit 4b2c7373f2ab6f701cbd7f371ad4b95829e34e70
