Topic on Talk:MediaWiki 1.35

Given the number of Support Desk topics about character-encoding problems should the Release Notes for 1.35 include a warning?

There are a number of topics in the Support Desk that indicate that installing/upgrading to MediaWiki 1.35.x can render a wiki unusable. See Index.php displayed with wrong characters on Project:Support desk (mediawiki.org) and Has MW 1.35 changed when/how the HTTP header, Content-Length, are used? on Project:Support desk (mediawiki.org) as two examples, there are more.

This is being tracked as āš“ T235554 MediaWiki::outputResponsePayload seemingly causes net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR 200 and compression issues in 1.35 (wikimedia.org) and a few others.

Should the Release Notes page include a warning about these problems so that anyone upgrading is aware of the problem?

I believe that this should be finally fixed as of 1.35.2.
