Hello everyone,
It looks like Volker's e-mail, below, didn't get distributed by the list on Wednesday; re-sending now. With apologies.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Volker Eckl volker@wikimedia.org Date: Wed, May 31, 2017 at 1:30 AM Subject: OOjs UI 0.22.0 release (breaking change) To: Wikimedia developers wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Hello everyone,
We've released OOjs UI 0.22.0, today. It will be in MediaWiki core from 1.30.0-wmf.4, which will be deployed to Wikimedia production in the regular train, starting on Tuesday 6 June. As there are three breaking changes in this release, at least nominally, please carefully consider if they affect your code.
Breaking changes since last release:
* TextInputWidget: Remove deprecated search related methods (Prateek Saxena) After being deprecated back in v0.18.0, we removed search related methods entirely. The TextInputWidget got slimmed down and a more specialized SearchInputWidget is available since November 2016. If you still use search methods, please switch over to SearchInputWidget.
* icons: Drop the deprecated core icon pack (James D. Forrester) Dropped 'core' icon pack, deprecated in v0.20.1 and already moved all of its icons to different, more clearly labelled, icon packs back then. Now removed entirely.
* icons: Remove unused 'bookmark' icon (Volker E.) The 'bookmark' icon has been added, but has never been used in production nor is it planned, so it got removed.
Deprecations since last release:
* Rename the 'MediaWiki' theme to 'WikimediaUI' (James D. Forrester) In order to clarify and simplify connection between the default theme's development focus on Wikimedia user interfaces and connected resources we've decided to rename it. Currently there's an alias for the old name, which should allow your software to work as is. Still, consider renaming your style and script references in the time being.
* WindowManager: Deprecate using `openWindow`/`closeWindow` returns as promises (Bartosz Dziewoński) The return value is now a WindowInstance object. Rather than using the "nested promises" to wait for window to open/close, you should instance use its properties (opening, opened, closing, closed) to wait for the given step of window lifecycle.
Additional details are in the full changelog[0]. If you have any further queries or need help dealing with breaking changes, please let me know. As always, a general set of library documentation is available on mediawiki.org[1], and there is some comprehensive generated code-level documentation and interactive demos hosted on doc.wikimedia.org[2].
