The new HIde is being deployed to Mediawiki this morning! Hide now actually hides the topic from the board, so you can take vandalism/spam off the page, as you can with wikitext. A hidden topic is accessible through history and contributions.
Matt:
Reviewed one of Chris' browser test changes. Had to do some fiddling. It works now, merged it.
:
Worked on Fatal exception (didn't load root post) -- it's in code review.
Will work on search tomorrow. Not merging this to master yet.
:
Yesterday - Chris McM found that new topic notifications were taking longer than 5 sec, failing browser tests. Looking into what's happening. The Flowify process seems to be slow -- it's sending info to core just to come back.
We'll make a Trello card for performance. Erik will be doing more work on this.
Fixing the duplication of the moderation reason in the topic header.
Also working on the varnish cache for anons -- right now anons aren't getting the new page when someone hides/unhides a topic. The cache is busted when somebody makes a change to the page (posting a new topic or message), but we need to fix it.
Shahyar MIA today.
