Hello, Is there anyone attending the Prague hackathon that would be interested in a session about Huggle developement, how to setup a development environment and how to participate in development of core, extensions or scripts? Thank you

Huggle 3.4.7 and 3.4.8 released today
by Petr Bena 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi, New Huggle is out, it's mostly a bugfix release, there were fixes in logic behind check whether user was recently warned by someone else, which should finally work properly. The page protection request form was broken and there were some glitches related to empty edit summaries, that is still not fully explained, but this version will be enforcing default revert summaries should configuration contain empty ones. Other than that there are some improvements to JS subsystem, localization updates and so on. If you find any issues please use phabricator to report these. P.S. few minutes after release of 3.4.7 I found a major bug in update last time logic so a quick bugfix was released as well... This is result of poor beta testing.

Huggle 3.4.6 released
by Petr Bena 09 Dec '18

09 Dec '18

Hi all, Long time no release, and we just got 2 consecutive :) I finally managed to release Huggle 3.4.5 after so long time and right as I was testing it on my Windows machine I found a critical bug, so 3.4.6 followed in few minutes. This e-mail will cover changes from 3.4.4 until 3.4.6 * Version for MacOS is now shipped with brand new Qt 5.12 which I believe somewhat fixed that terrible multi-keystroke bug. I wanted to use this on Windows as well, but 5.12 supports only VS 2017 and internal layout of new VS has changed so I have no idea how to get it to work with CMake - I would need to read very long documentation to figure this out and it would probably change in the future anyway so let's stick with trusted 5.10 for now. * There was a huge addition in JS scripting - many more things can be done via scripting now, check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Huggle/JS everything there should work with 3.4.6 * New editing form - you can edit wikipages right in Huggle. There are bugs though, so consider this an experimental feature (some special UTF-8 symbols may be removed by this form) * Loads of bug fixes, minor as well as some major bug fixes If you find any new bugs, please use phabricator to report them. Thank you

Google Code-in 2018: Mentor some smaller tasks for young contributors!
by Andre Klapper 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

<tl;dr>: Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors and add your name to the mentors table and start tagging #GCI-2018 tasks. We'll need MANY mentors and MANY tasks, otherwise we cannot make it. Google Code-in is an annual contest for 13-17 year old students. It will take place from Oct23 to Dec13. It's not only about coding: we also need tasks about design, docs, outreach/research, QA. Last year, 300 students worked on 760 tasks supported by 51 mentors. For some achievements from last round, see https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/03/20/wikimedia-google-code-in-2017/ While we wait whether Wikimedia will get accepted: * You have small, self-contained bugs you'd like to see fixed? * Your documentation needs specific improvements? * Your user interface has some smaller design issues? * Your Outreachy/Summer of Code project welcomes small tweaks? * You'd enjoy helping someone port your template to Lua? * Your gadget code uses some deprecated API calls? * You have tasks in mind that welcome some research? Note that "beginner tasks" (e.g. "Set up Vagrant") and generic tasks are very welcome (like "Choose and fix 2 PHP7 issues from the list in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120336" style). We also have more than 400 unassigned open #easy tasks listed: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/HCyOonSbFn.z/#R Can you mentor some of those tasks in your area? Please take a moment to find / update [Phabricator etc.] tasks in your project(s) which would take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours. Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors , ask if you have any questions, and add your name to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/2018#List_of_Wikimedia_mentors (If you have mentored before and have a good overview of our infrastructure: We also need more organization admins! See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Admins ) Thanks (as we cannot run this without your help), andre -- Andre Klapper | ak-47(a)gmx.net https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/

EventStreams goes multi-datacenter on Monday August 6
by Andrew Otto 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi all, tl;dr On Monday August 6 we are making EventStreams multi-DC, and this should be transparent to users. Due to a recent outage <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/20180711-kafka-e…> of the our main eqiad Kafka cluster, we want to make the EventStreams service support multiple datacenters for better high availability. To do so, we need to hide the Kafka cluster message offsets from the SSE/EventSource clients. On Monday August 6th, we will deploy a change to EventStreams that will make it use message timestamps instead of message offsets in the SSE/EventSource id field that is returned for every received message. This will allow EventStreams to be backed by any Kafka cluster, with auto-resuming during reconnect based on timestamp instead of Kafka cluster based logical offsets. This deployment should be transparent to clients. SSE/EventSource clients will reconnect automatically and begin to use timestamps instead of offsets in the Last-Event-ID. You can read more about this work here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199433 - Andrew Otto, Systems Engineer, WMF

New Huggle development VM
by Petr Bena 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi, I updated the virtual system we offer for download for people who want to do some patches to Huggle, but don't want to spend time settings up a full featured C++/Qt development environment capable of compiling Huggle. The link is here: https://petr.insw.cz/huggle/huggle.ova You need virtual box to import it. It's a stripped down Ubuntu 18 LTS, with several packages removed (games, video player, etc) that has preinstalled all packages needed, with Huggle source codes downloaded and preconfigured in Qt Creator, so in order to compile Huggle from latest code you need to just import this VM and launch it. I updated the old image, so please test this one and let me know if there is any issue before I push it to wikimedia cloud.

Huggle 3.4.4
by Petr Bena 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

Hi, New Huggle is out, this version mostly fix stuff (many small annoying issues), here are more notable things: * High DPI support - if you have high DPI screen everything should scale properly and should no longer look pixelated * Warning template time-based rate limit - by default Huggle will not send another warning levels to same user too fast after each other, so that target user has time to read the warning. So if there are 3 edits made by user and all 3 reverted, Huggle will only send 1 warning. * RC provider fallback bug resolved

EventStreams offset reset - June 5 2018
by Andrew Otto 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Hi all! *If you are not an active user of the EventStreams service, you can ignore this email.* We’re in the process of upgrading <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152015> the backend infrastructure that powers the EventStreams service. When we switch EventStreams to the new infrastructure <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185225>, the ‘offsets’ AKA Last-Event-IDs will change. Connected EventStreams SSE clients will reconnect and not be able to automatically consume from the exact position in the stream where they left off. Instead, reconnecting clients will begin consuming from the latest messages in the stream. This means that connected clients will likely miss any messages that occurred during the reconnect period. Hopefully this will be a very small number of messages, as your SSE client should reconnect quickly. This switch is scheduled to happen on June 5 2018, at around 17:30 UTC. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks! - Andrew Otto Senior Systems Engineer, WMF

Huggle 3.4.1 released - critical patch
by Petr Bena 27 May '18

27 May '18

Hi, So a day after release of 3.4.0 I am releasing 3.4.1, due to couple of major crash / logic bug findings in 3.4.0 (yes - that's the reason why I would love to have some beta testers involved more, but to be honest I fully expected this, 3.4.0 was too major change, there had to be something wrong that would be discovered once fully rolled out). So yes, I am now building the packages for all OSes, if you already have 3.4.0, please update to 3.4.1 ASAP when available, if you have older Huggle, just wait for 3.4.1 ;) Thanks
