This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version 1.43.1, and changes with a version number higher than that will not yet be active.
Fixed bugs
A bug causing images to be deleted on Wikimedia Commons whenever a description page for an image with the same name was deleted on a different project (such as the English Wikipedia) has now been fixed. (This means that it's now safe for administrators to resume deletions under speedy deletion criterion I2.) (r22718, bug 10128)
Editing section 0 of a page now shows the correct list of templates used on that page at the bottom of the screen. (r22779, bug 10149)
New features
A new parser function, #titleparts, was added, to return the first few parts of a slash-separated subpage structure; for instance, {{#titleparts:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-06-11/Technology report|2}} is wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-06-11. (r22711, bug 6067)
Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See m:Localization statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to bugzilla.
