Development
- Redirects are moving slow because they touch so much of our and the
core code base, but they are coming closer!
- Final touches on the monolingual data type and UI
- Fixed some smaller but nasty bugs in the UI like not being able to
change only the rank
- Finally improved the most confusing error messages and hints you get
to read when using the Wikibase client or repo
- The Wikibase DataModel JavaScript component (which moved to it’s own
repository) reached version 0.2.0
- Continued working on the QueryEngine component (the foundation for
queries)
