* Diffs for statement edits can now be shown
* Started work on query definitions
* Edit links are now disabled in the interface when the user does not
have the rights to edit
* Edit links are now hidden when viewing old revision
* Worked on search field for WikibaseSolr
* More work on Lua templates for Wikibase entities
* Worked on bugfixes in the statement user interface
* New features in the statement user interface (references counter/heading)
* JavaScript editing for table showing labels and description of the
same item in different languages
* Repaired and updated the demo system (
http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de)
* Resumed work on Linked Data interface
* Support for enhanced recent changes format in client
* There are automatic comments for statement edits as well in the history now
* Special page for unconnected pages, that is pages on the client that
are not connected to items on the repository
* Added permission checks for statements, so a user that can not edit
will not be able to edit or that only a group can be allowed to do
some changes like creating statements
