Hey, all. This is the roughly 1-week "pencils down" warning for the upcoming MediaWiki 1.35 release branch cut.
The branch cut is scheduled to be made on 14 July 2020 at 02:00 UTC. (That's late on 13 July in the Americas and parts of the Pacific. Timezones are like magic, aren't they?) After that point, new features won't be merged into 1.35; the master branch will become part of the 1.36 release. If you have tickets that are tagged for `mw-1.35-release`, please finish them, untag them, or reach out to get them resolved.* After the branch cut, bug fixes will be manually ported, but feature changes won't. Thanks for your work on and interest in MediaWiki. -Evan * See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mw-1.35-release/ for details.
