Reading Infrastructure

edit
  • AuthManager core bits are basically done!
  • load.php session access errors is ready. But there's last-minute debate over whether it should wait for 1.28 or not, so it's probably going to wind up waiting until just after the branch cut. Try not to re-break it until then, please.

Android

edit

Work on Reading Lists continues; design and work planning for the Feed are underway.

Mobile Content Service

edit

Planning for new Feeds-related endpoints. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132340

Last week deployed universal link fix Sending external beta for 5.0.3 today Will start regressions for 5.0.3 later this week. Likely to submit 5.0.3 to app store next week 5.1 still in planning phase

Hovercards: Setting up more event logging, improving test coverage, fixing critical bugs Wrapping up lazy loaded references, working out a plan for rolling out lazy loading images.

Collaboration

edit
  • Blocking:
  • Blocked:
    • Work on Flow dumps continuing; another patch got merged to remove an unnecessary option. I don't think Ariel needs anything from us right now. If she does, please let us know.

    • Continuing notification work on:
      • Moderation
      • Bundling refactoring
      • New MVC structure
      • Special page coming to explain how Notifications is configured. There is also a related breaking change to a configuration variable. I'll take care of it for all WMF-deployed extensions, but let me know if anything weird happens with notifications.

Parsing (No one will be around for the meeting today)

edit
  • Balanced templates RFC was discussed last week; shadow namespaces RFC today.
  • Troubleshooting visual diffing infrastructure (various minor issues that is getting in the way of a 100% accurate baseline run comparing output from "identical" M/W installs).
