* Added pp_sortkey column to page_props table, so pages can be efficiently
queried and sorted by property value (bug 58032).
See $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey if you want to postpone the schema change.
* BREAKING CHANGE: The Modern and Cologne Blue skins were moved out of MediaWiki
core to their own respective repositories. See also
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Modern and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:CologneBlue.
* BREAKING CHANGE: All four built-in MediaWiki skins (Vector, MonoBook, Modern
and Cologne Blue) were moved out of MediaWiki core to their own respective
repositories. They will be installed with the release tarball, but you must
install them separately if installing MediaWiki from source code. A warning
message displayed until you do it should guide you through the process. See
also <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_configuration>.
* BREAKING CHANGE: Skins built for MediaWiki 1.15 and earlier that do not use
the "headelement" template key are no longer supported. Setting
$useHeadElement = false; is no longer supported and will not cause old keys

Please note that under POSIX systems (Linux...), parent of a symbolic path
refers to the link source, NOT to the target! You should check the env
variable MW_INSTALL_PATH in case the extension is not in the default location.
The following code snippet lets you override the default path:
$IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );
if( $IP === false ) {
$IP = __DIR__ . '/../..';
}
require_once "$IP/maintenance/Maintenance.php"; // a MediaWiki core file
