== Product ==

=== Reading ===

==== Web ==== Lazy loaded images has been deployed on Bengali Wikipedia. Ops will see less image traffic per page there. That's normal! We have a change to NavigationTiming. FYI performance team. Working with Fundraising towards an A/B test. Fundraising please be alert in case we need you!

==== Android ==== * Login and editing were temporarily broken as a result of a networking library bug after HTTP/2 was enabled. We found the bug Monday morning and issued releases to work around the bug for now by forcing HTTP/1.1. For more info see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134817. * Reading Lists are {{done}} and to be released in the next beta. On deck: The Feed.

==== iOS ==== * 5.0.4 ** Just launched Monday - a bugfix release * 5.0.5 ** Likely in 2 weeks so we can address a major crash caused by framework loading on the iOS platform ** https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134805 * 5.1 ** Scoped major features last week (Maps and better iPad support) ** Refining scope this week ** Planning beta for week of June 12 ** Will have a dependency on the geosearch extension

==== Mobile Content Service ==== * Removed redirect handling from service. Still adding redirect=false query param. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134538 * As a result of a fix to remote config checking, MCS will soon serve most Android app requests.

==== Reading Infrastructure ==== * Gergo emailing with Chad and Chris on RC timing with respect to AuthManager

=== Editing === ==== Collaboration ==== * '''Blocking''': ** Still working on External Store on Beta. ** Need to refactor Flow memcached for cross-data-center; just had another meeting about that * '''Blocked''': * '''Updates''': ** Continuing notification work on: *** Cross-wiki notifications coming by default tomorrow! *** Echo plaintext email formatter done, HTML email formatter in-progress *** Work continues on the new Echo MVC architecture *** Echo recently enabled a feature to give users a web notification when an email is sent to them. This has resulted in a few cases where users have received the notification, but not the email. If someone in ops (and anyone who wants to) could look at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134886, that would be helpful.

==== Language ==== * '''Blocking''': * '''Blocked''': * '''Updates''': ** cxserver migrated to scap3. Thanks to Marko and TechOps for guiding! ** Apertium to Jessie work will start from this week, co-ordinate with TechOps/Alex on this. ** Work on Compact Language Links migrating out of Beta in progress ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66793)

==== Multimedia ==== * '''Blocking''': None * '''Blocked''': None * '''Updates''': ** Offsite happened last week in Brooklyn ** Security review for ImageTweaks done, thanks security ** Thumbor still not deployed but Gilles is working on it, once that's done we just need to finish polishing the extension ** 3D support coming to media viewer via Gilles, cool story ** Gallery mode for slideshows in progress, maybe rolling out this quarter ** Upload dialog "E/F" test (follow up to "A/B/C/D" test) coming soon to a wiki near you

==== Parsing ==== * Tidy replacement work going on -- visual diff tests is helping us figure out things to fix and deprecate in terms of behavior (ex: self-closing tags like <b/>, <div/> etc.). Still some ways to go. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy for details. * Kunal working on refactoring Linker code -- work in progress, but linker tests are passing with his new patches. * OCG: C.Scott believes that he has unblocked all the ocg issues, and that ops can proceed with re-imaging the ocg servers (which seems to be going on already).
