I am happy to announce the availability of the general release of MediaWiki
1.41!

This includes the security fix announced in 1.35.14/1.39.6/1.40.1.

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 hard to get several important fixes merged in
time for the 1.41 final release. To see what's changed in 1.41, see the
release notes below.

MediaWiki 1.41 is the third release of MediaWiki 'born' with PHP 8.0 (and
newer) support included. We anticipate there may be some as-yet
undiscovered bugs with PHP 8.x support, of which we'd love to hear reports
so they can be fixed. We plan to back-port fixes to 1.40 and 1.39 to the
extent possible.

MediaWiki 1.41 is due to be supported until the end of December 2024.

As a reminder, 1.35 LTS became end-of-life today, 21 December 2023.
