+** Because of needed parser updates the legacy generator syntax, iterator and old array comprehension syntax was removed in 2.53.13b1 pre.
+*** The add-on sdk still needs some fixes for this. Please check the prerelease for extension breakage.
 ** {{Bug|1388317}}, {{Bug|1083458}} and {{Bug|1389510}} were backported to 2.53. Please check and try to fix extensions still using these features. With this done backporting is much easier now.
 ** {{Bug|1374847}} was backported to 2.53.17b1 pre and some extensions like prefbar need a simple fix.
