A significant update to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org is coming tonight!
I will be taking Phabricator offline for a short time during the regularly scheduled maintenance window. This will take place between 01:00 - 03:00 UTC (5:00PM-7:00PM Pacific)
There are a whole lot of new features and bug fixes coming with this update. Here are some of the most important bug fixes and requests for new functionality which can will resolved after the update:
- T84833: When you close an unassigned task as "Resolved" from the Comment action, Phabricator thinks you want to claim the task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T84833 - T89675: Phabricator avatars should have high definition version for HD displays https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89675 - T119708: setting security to software security bug excluded subscribers https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119708 - T89335: Creating private tasks by filling a web form (for AffCom) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89335 - T876: @mentions in descriptions should autocomplete https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T876 - T77228: Let non-members watch projects https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T77228 - T87135: Phabricator should only notify changes to the "Security" field if it is indeed changed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87135 - T120903: investigate hiding the policy controls for phabricator projects. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120903 - T91529: Turning the sprint flag on should apply the expected icon and color to the project https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91529 - T115017: For new Phab accounts, link to [[mw:How to report a bug]] at the top of task creation form https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115017 - T91538: Make new tasks within a specific project use a template in description field https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91538
For context, there has been some ongoing discussion about potential issues at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/conpherence/308/ - further documentation of the changes and their implications will be published soon.
If you notice any serious issues after the update, please report them in phabricator or via IRC in the #wikimedia-devtools channel, however, please wait until the maintenance window is over before reporting any issues - problems encountered during the maintenance window are to be expected and reporting them will only serve as a distraction while the upgrade is underway.
Thanks for your patience! Mukunda Modell Phabricator Release Engineer Wikimedia Foundation
