Here are the release notes for FANDOM's code release scheduled for February 5, 2018. Many of these were scheduled for the February 1st release, which was cancelled:


 * NOTABLE: We will update the Maps extension to version 5.2.0 (from 3.5.0). Key changes include:
 * Wikis with Semantic Maps extension enabled will now have those semantic-specific features supported natively in Maps (Semantic Maps will be removed in coming weeks).
 * Cluster property support added for Google Maps.
 * Rotate control support added for Google Maps.
 * Layer namespace will no longer be in use.
 * Leaflet will now have layer support.
 * Image overlays used in #display_map now support geocoding for their locations
 * Full release notes can be read here
 * KNOWN ISSUES: We are continuing to look into a variety of issues with the recently updated classic rich text editor. Please do continue to let us know if you spot problems!
 * The updated editor is more sensitive to incorrect wikitext, such as unclosed tags within templates - do give that a check if you see it removing wikitext straight after a template. (We are aware there are valid use cases for that though, and are working on a solution.)
