Hello everyone,
On Monday UTC morning, the software powering
etherpad.wikimedia.org,
etherpad-lite, will be upgraded to version 1.5.6-2 from 1.4.1-3. This
upgrade sets us back on track with etherpad-lite releases. Changelogs for
the interested are here:
https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md
The reason for this heads up is that after the upgrade, users will have to
force a full refresh in old pads they revisit in order to clear the browser
cache. Otherwise in some revisited pads, a corrupted interface will show up
with a message about a missing Cookie. The sequence for this is highly
dependent on the browser. Ctrl+F5, F5, Command+R depending on browser/OS
does the trick most times. Refer to your browser documentation for an
accurate shortcut if you don't already know it.
Regards,
