[hackerspaces] Fwd: [MediaWiki-announce] MediaWiki 1.39 is End of Life

[David Potocnik]

The HSO wiki is not even near the last update of 1.39.
Let's figure out how to keep HSO running.

Kind regards,

As per the MediaWiki version lifecycle[1], I would like to announce the
formal end of life (EOL) of MediaWiki 1.39 as of December 31, 2025.

1.39.17 is expected to be the last release for this branch.

This means that MediaWiki 1.39 will no longer receive maintenance or
security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue
to use it.

It is recommended to upgrade either to the next LTS, 1.43, which will be
supported until the end of December 2027. Or to either MediaWiki 1.44,
which will be supported until the end of July 2026, or to MediaWiki 1.45,
which will be supported until the end of December 2026.

Thanks!
