2015-03-25 edit

Apps edit

Search edit

Parsoid edit

  • Last week, identified and fixed a bug in Parsoid's serialization that surfaced with a move to RESTBase (because of a bunch of different things happening together). It is mostly a testing failure on our end -- our testing all uses the V1 API and RESTBase uses the V2 API. We have started to fix that mismatch.
  • We have also working to clean up our logging output for better visibility in Kibana. Also fixed a bunch of issues that were generating a lot of useless warnings (will be deployed today).

Multimedia edit

  • RIP
  • Someone with puppet knowledge, could use help with Sentry, not urgent because our quarterly goals don't require it to be finished.
  • UploadWizard is looking mighty sexy. Will be more sexy by the end of this week. There are no user-facing changes, but you should feel slightly less afraid of it now.
