Over the next few days, wmf20 will be deployed to WMF wikis. The highlights
of what's new in wmf20 are:
- "Recently active topics" is now the default sort order
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108314> in Flow.
- Searching the Topic namespace doesn't return any results, so it has
been disabled <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109211> to avoid
confusion.
- A number of editor-related bugs and regressions in Flow were fixed:
- Clicking "Reply" on a nested reply no longer opens multiple editors
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109748>
- CAPTCHAs no longer appear as HTML
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109554> and can actually be
submitted
- Clicking the "preview" link in the wikitext editor scrolled to the
top <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109664>
- When switching between editors, the editor retains focus, and the
cursor is put at the end <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97290>,
not at the beginning
- Translations for the Topic namespace were added in Western Balochi and
updated in Mazandarani. Special page aliases were added for Persian.
