All,
This fortnight's update for VisualEditor[0] - I'm skipping Parsoid
based on feedback, but it is available here[1]:
The VisualEditor was updated as part of the wider MediaWiki 1.20wmf11
branch deployment[2] on Monday 3 September.
The team have spent most of the two weeks since 1.20wmf10 working on
how the code integrates together, providing clean interfaces between
them so new developers can re-use and extend VisualEditor to support
new 'node types' like categories or tables when we work on these
later.
That said, there have been a number of bug fixes, including better
support for RTL languages as part of our work with our
Internationalisation colleagues[3], supporting the use of VisualEditor
with the Monobook skin (38154[4]) and making sure we don't appear to
support browsers that won't work with VisualEditor (38857[5]). We now
support the editing of old revisions through the tool rather than just
the latest one (37821[6]), and have updated the code to work with a
changed way in which the Parsoid service now operates as it is
developed.
A complete list of individual code commits is available in the
1.20/wmf11 changelog[7], and all Bugzilla bugs closed in this period
on Bugzilla's list[8].
