We've just finished our second sprint on the new PDF renderer. A significant chunk of renderer development time this cycle was on non latin script support, as well as puppetization and packaging for deployment. We have a work in progress pipeline up and running in labs which I encourage everyone to go try and break.
Seeing breakage of PDF downloads on pl.wikisource reported in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65298 I got curious what the status of the new PDF renderer is.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/PDF_rendering#Status only links to the quoted email from January 2014. Has anything happened in the last four months that is worth to be added as a status update?
For the records, Nemo asked on the Talk page for a test instance and I support the idea of having a bugday on PDF rendering once public testing infrastructure for the new PDF renderer is available. Open tickets to potentially re-test: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=---&component=Coll...

That's a good question! I'm in SFO this week, so it's probably worth setting aside a day to resync and figure out what the next steps for the new PDF renderer are. --scott

Any news (or a public test instance available)?
As I wrote, I'd be interested in having a bugday on testing the new PDF renderer by going through / retesting https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=---&component=Coll...
Thanks, andre
I'm happy to report that after a LONG time fighting with deployment the test instance is available in beta labs (en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org and all others) via the WMF PDF option in Special:Collection and on the side panel.
It is very rough still in terms of reliable rendering (it doesn't like to clean up after itself) -- but now that I have deployment sorted and it stably running that's my next task. Play away :D

I should have also noted -- there is something strange going on with the frontend to Special:Collection. You have to manually refresh to see status updates...
