I'd like to draw some attention to the current outstanding release blockers.
From
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mw-1.38-release/,
8 tasks as queried from
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/2YXgSfsvECyO/#R
1. T261329 Prepare Parsoid for MW 1.38 (ideally)
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261329>
2. T265518 Move Parsoid ServiceWorker.php and extension/src/Config into core
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265518>
3. T302117 ZeroConf VE for MW 1.38 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302117>
Component: Parsoid.
Assigned to: WMF Content Transformation, formerly known as Parsing team.
If this is finished in master, it may be worth checking that relevant docs are up-to-date,
and that relevant changes have made it to the branch in time (or are backported).
4. T275246 Populate rev_actor and rev_comment_id
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275246>
Component: MediaWiki-Revision-backend.
Assigned to: WMF Platform Engineering (@tstarling).
Originally planned for MW 1.36. Last year, change 684142
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/684142> implemented the
migration.
I moved it to the MW 1.39 milestone as this isn't something we can (nor should) rush
through code changes alone. Per Tim's comment
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275246#7512017>, we should add this to the
installer/updater after we've succesfully migrated WMF's.
5. T288686 WVUI's TypeaheadSearch should work with a non-default `$wgScriptPath`
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288686>
Component: Vector 22.
Assigned to: Readers Web.
The new Vector 22 skin isn't yet used by default, but it currently hardcodes
WMF-specific configuration and is bundled the release. There is an open patch pending
review.
6. T294612 Raw HTML from Language Converters' title conversion displayed
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T294612>
Component: MediaWiki-Parser,
MediaWiki-Language-converter.
Assigned to: WMF Content Transformation, formerly known as Parsing team.
A regression reported October, that appears unsolved in prod (the linked example still
displays raw HTML) and currently set to block the release.
7. T295187 Chinese conversion no longer work in the table of content
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T295187>
Component: MediaWiki-Parser,
MediaWiki-Language-converter.
Assigned to: WMF Content Transformation (@cscott).
This appears to be resolved from my very rudimentary testing.
8. T303029 Revert ParsoidSiteConfigInit hook creation
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T303029>
Component: Parsoid.
Assigned to: WMF Content Transformation, formerly known as Parsing team.
Best,
