Test results

This version is stable and has passed all unit tests (with MediaWiki 1.29, 1.28, 1.27, 1.23),
as well as Selenium tests of MobileFrontend and VisualEditor*.

(*) NOTE: Extension:VisualEditor itself is under active development and its internals often undergo breaking changes. If you use VisualEditor with MediaWiki >=1.29, you should use the newest version of Moderation, not this release.

Compatibility with MediaWiki 1.23 (old LTS)

This version still supports obsolete MediaWiki 1.23. All further versions will require MediaWiki 1.27+.
