Lots of gadgets have been broken, because they used to rely on legacy JavaScript features. We turned those legacy features off, so that we can find the scripts that need updating before they are permanently broken by future releases of MediaWiki. Most gadgets should have been updated, user scripts may still be broken. See more at mw:ResourceLoader/Migration guide (users).
New feature for glorious translators. If you are a translation reviewer, at Special:Translate/core there is a new group "recent translations" at the bottom of the list. Use this with the accept messages task!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
