MediaWiki 1.27.0-wmf.1 (note the version format change) was deployed to WMF wikis last week. I was supposed to send an email about that last week, but I didn't. My apologies for the late announcement.
The highlights for Echo and Flow are:
- Various fixes for the new notification badges, most notably: - Middle-clicking and Ctrl+clicking on the badge now always works https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113555. - The "talk" link no longer disappears when the orange "You have new messages" bar is dismissed. - The alerts badge no longer briefly flashes red https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112823 before becoming grey. - Editing topic summaries in Flow now uses https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111102 the new editor system. - Links added to the history of a Flow topic when it is resolved no longer go to error pages https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113261. - "Null" edits (edits without changes) are no longer saved https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T60975 by Flow. (Although this doesn't seem to quite work https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T60975#1705658 just yet.) - Names of authors are now bidi-isolated https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106741 in Flow.
