Heya folks :)
We have deployed new features and bugfixes on wikidata.org. Here are the major ones you probably care about: * Multi-line references. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source. * The search box was replaced. Give it a try! * Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45821)
In addition we have added code to better be able to debug why it takes so long for changes to propagate to the Wikipedias. This will hopefully give us the needed information to speed this up considerably. We have also just added a second cron job on the server for this which might improve things already.
Please let me know if you have any questions or see any issues that might be related to this deployment.
Cheers Lydia

Urgh it seems someone forgot to mark the search box change as non-experimental so it isn't enabled yet :/ Will be done next week then. Sorry.
