Web

edit

Lazy loaded images has been deployed on Bengali Wikipedia. Ops will see less image traffic per page there. That's normal! We have a change to NavigationTiming. FYI performance team. Working with Fundraising towards an A/B test. Fundraising please be alert in case we need you!

Android

edit
  • Login and editing were temporarily broken as a result of a networking library bug after HTTP/2 was enabled. We found the bug Monday morning and issued releases to work around the bug for now by forcing HTTP/1.1. For more info see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134817.
  • Reading Lists are   Done and to be released in the next beta. On deck: The Feed.

    • Continuing notification work on:
      • Cross-wiki notifications coming by default tomorrow!

      • Echo recently enabled a feature to give users a web notification when an email is sent to them. This has resulted in a few cases where users have received the notification, but not the email. If someone in ops (and anyone who wants to) could look at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134886, that would be helpful.

  • Kunal working on refactoring Linker code -- work in progress, but linker tests are passing with his new patches.
