MediaWiki is known to be extremely flexible and customisable, but few users use its full potential. In 1.24, we aim to make dozens of obscure options preferences easily discoverable and obvious to use.

• bug 52817

• Category pages can now be moved (bug 5451).
• MergeHistory for all administrators by default (bug 66155).
• Improvements have been made to the password storage system in gerrit:77645, allowing improved security against offline attacks should a wiki's database be compromised by attackers. Then, in gerrit:149658, the default password storage algorithm was changed to PBKDF2.
  • PBKDF2 and Bcrypt have built-in support in PHP. The new extensible password API makes it trivial to implement scrypt support if we wanted to.
• Addition of a JSON content model to the core. Earlier, it was implemented through an extension.

• The move feature and other actions are now discoverable in Vector, thanks to a label for the dropdown where they're hidden by default (bug 44591).
• bug 15484 - Redirect to Special:UserLogin when logging in is required to proceed, instead of showing an error message.

• (bug 39035) Vector skin performance was improved by removing collapsibleNav, which was used to collapse some sidebar elements by default. This removes -list suffixes like p-lang-list: which means that instead of using things like #p-lang-list, you need to use #p-lang .body ul.

• Upgraded jQuery to version 1.11.x.
• Support for register_globals (deprecated 5 years ago) was dropped, MediaWiki will no longer run with it enabled. See this email notification for more details.
• {{!}} is now a magic word that results in |, mainly for use in templates and other complex templates. If your wiki has a template at Template:!, you will need to change the name and update any usage of it. If your Template:! is just |, it can be safely deleted.
• Removed the hook SpecialSearchGo. Any extensions depending on this hook will break.

Starting with MediaWiki 1.24, we're cleaning up the API, and working towards an API 2.0. See the roadmap for more details.

• Full support for Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 has been removed. Users of these browsers will not have any JavaScript when using MediaWiki. JavaScript fixes specific to them have also been removed. Additional Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 fixes that exist in pages of your wiki like MediaWiki:Common.js and similar can be safely removed if you want to keep your site's browser support consistent.
• See Compatibility for more information.

If you're upgrading via a tarball release, that is all you need to do.
