All, My weekly update<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/status#2013-10-10_.28M… about progress on VisualEditor: VisualEditor was updated as part of the wider MediaWiki 1.22wmf22 branch deployment <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/wmf22> on Thursday 17 October. In the week since 1.22wmf21, the team worked on some feature changes, infrastructure improvements, and fixing bugs. We improved media item resizing in a few ways. Firstly, inline media items can now be resized in the same way that has been possible with block ones (like thumbnails) before. When resizing a media item, you can see a live preview of how it will look as you drag it (bug 54298<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54298>)8>). Whilst you are dragging an image to resize it, we now show a label with the current dimensions (bug 54297<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54297>)7>). Once you have resized it, we fetch a new higher-resolution image for the media item if necessary (bug 55697<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55697>)7>). Manual setting of media item sizes in their dialog is nearly complete and should be available next week. Beyond this work, there was a lot of preparatory work done to make it possible to re-use elements of VisualEditor outside of the full VE surface (such as in other extensions or gadgets), which should be completed soon, and adding support for switching extra parts of VisualEditor on in the forthcoming Beta Features <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Beta_Features> extension. A complete list of individual code commits is available in the 1.22/wmf22 changelog<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/wmf22/Changelog#…or>, and all Bugzilla bugs closed in this period are on Bugzilla's list<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&… . If you have any questions, please do ask.​ Yours, -- James D. Forrester Product Manager, VisualEditor Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. jforrester(a)wikimedia.org | @jdforrester
