Is there any way that extension developers can get some sort of notice for breaking changes, e.g., https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/50138? Luckily my extension's JobQueue implementation hasn't been merged yet, but if it had I would have no idea that it had been broken by the core. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerromeo@gmail.com
Partly related: to be fair, Aaron asked comments about release notes and announcements some months ago (although in that case for schema changes) but there was none. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064630.html

True, but schema changes are not as bad because they won't cause fatal errors in PHP. At the very least if a schema change occurs your wiki will still be operational.

I think, we should use Twitter in addition to the mailinglist.
I am not a fan of all new tools, but many OSS projects (owncloud, mailvelope) post their breaking news there. We do not (yet).

You're joking, right?

What about little things. I happened to stumble across https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/26828/ today, which seems like a rather unnecessary back-compat break
