- Made loading items a lot faster - Enabled access to the data on Wikidata for Wikisource - Fixed the diff view sometimes showing the wrong revision - Attended ConFoo and learned all of the things - Released Wikibase DataModel Serialization 0.1 - Continue work on caching javascript config variables in parser cache - Started to make Wikidata even faster by removing StaticExpert and BifidExpert - Started reviewing interface animations. You should be able to disable them all by setting $.fx.off = true; in your Special:MyPage/common.jshttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyPage/common.js . - Fixed Wikidata looking a bit odd when enabling the Typography refreshhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh Beta feature.
