*Hi <FNAME>*
*I hope all is well with you! I wanted to let you know about CREDIT, a
monthly demo series that we’re running to showcaseopen source tech projects
from Wikimedia’s Community, Reading, Editing, Discovery, Infrastructure and
Technology teams. *
*CREDIT is open to the public, and we welcome questions and discussion. The
next CREDIT will be held on August 2nd at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 18:00 UTC. *

Our projects tend to focus on areas that might be of interest to folks

numerical sort, large data visualizations, maps, and all sorts of other
things.*

== Highlights and upgrade notes ==
== Babel ==
* Information about the languages that the user knows is now cached to
improve performance. To load the data from the cache, use
getCachedUserLanguageInfo() instead of getUserLanguageInfo(), and
getCachedUserLanguages() instead of getUserLanguages().
* Language code are normalized when they are stored in the database.
So, for example, "ZH" and "zh" are now stored as the same code.
* It is now possible to load Babel information from a Babel box on a
global user page.
== CLDR, CleanChanges and LocalisationUpdate ==
* Localisation and maintenance updates only.
== Translate ==
* Translate extension no longer bundles spyc library. If you need
support for parsing and generating YAML files, and you don't have

mode), then you can install spyc using composer update. (T75945)
