Hi all,
excited to share that we've released OOUI v0.44.0. It already happened
last Tuesday. ;)
Due to activities around Global Accessibility Awareness Day[0] and
Wikimedia Hackathon[1] (hope the ones participating had all fun!) the
release email is coming now.
It is rolling out on the normal train today, Tuesday, 24 May 2022.
Highlights in this release since v0.43.0:
- Dropped support for IE<10, FF<38, Android<4.4 in sync with updated
MediaWiki and Wikimedia's browser matrix. This removes a significant
amount of CSS rules and hacks specifically for those browsers[2]
-- This also enables us to use modern CSS techniques like Flexbox,
here resulting in a fix for a 6 year old bug on Firefox by Ed Sanders.
You can find details on additional new features, code-level, styling
and interaction design amendments, and all improvements since v0.43.0
in the full changelog[3].
Thanks to all code contributors, and to James D. Forrester and Bartosz
Dziewoński for their consistently excellent help – on this release
again.
If you have any further queries or need help dealing with breaking
changes, please let me know.
As always, interactive demos and library documentation is available on
mediawiki.org[4], there is comprehensive generated code-level
documentation and interactive demos and tutorials hosted on
doc.wikimedia.org[5].
OOUI version: 0.44.0
MediaWiki version: 1.39.0-wmf.13[6]
Date of deployment to production: Regular train, starting Tuesday 24 May 2022
