== MediaWiki 1.35.0-PRERELEASE ==
THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
MediaWiki 1.35 is an alpha-quality development branch, and is not recommended
for use in production.
== Upgrading notes for 1.35 ==
1.35 has several database changes since 1.34, and will not work without schema
updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
many hours on a large site).
Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
Some specific notes for MediaWiki 1.35 upgrades are below:
