== Product == === Reading ===

==== iOS ====

* '''Updates''': ** 5.0.0 was released - all the new things ** 5.0.1 was submitted - fix all the new things that crashed

* '''Upcoming''': ** 5.0.1 - release (blocked on Apple review) ** 5.0.2 - a little bit of this and that, second round of bug fixes, some small functionality tweaks ** 5.1.0 - still in planning stage for some larger adjustments to some of the new 5.0.0 functionality

* '''Blocking''': ** nothing comes to mind atm

* '''Blocked''': ** 5.0.1 - release (blocked on Apple review) ** "mw-mobilefrontend-leadsection" leaking in to mobileview lead section (broke our transform but we pushed a workaround in 5.0.1) ** powering through 5.0.0 OTRS feedback firehose (not so much blocked as just time consuming) - digesting this feedback will inform what goes into 5.0.2 and 5.1.0 ** this also isn't really a blocker, just something we'll need to do sometime in the future - audit mobile content service output for any android-specific bits which may need to be tweaked before iOS can adopt - i doubt there will be issues, but we'll need to check

==== Mobile Content Service ==== * '''Blocking''': ** None * '''Blocked''': ** potential blocker: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118306 "File: pages of images stored on commons result in 404s". Would be really nice to get that one fixed before we roll out MCS usage to Android production app. ** We need a new Android prod app release for the roll out of MCS usage in Android production app * '''Updates''': ** Considering starting roll out of MCS usage to Android production app next week since DC-switchover test is delayed until mid April. Might as well do it now. ** Working on fixing lead paraph transformation in the service.

==== Reading Infrastructure ==== * AuthManager is still coming! (see two weeks ago for details) ** Behind schedule though.

==== Android ==== * 2.1.143 beta coming soon.

=== Editing === ==== Collaboration ==== * '''Blocking''': ** External Store - Continuing work. Some local stuff merged that will help with testing. * '''Blocked''': ** No new blockers. Work on dump continues * '''Updates''': ** Good feedback from cross-wiki notification roll out some far. ** Some small issues, e.g. people feeling spammed by welcome bots from wikis they visited one time (or maybe just a load.php reference).

==== Language ==== * '''Blocking''': ** None * '''Blockers''': ** None * '''Updates''' ** Work on improving ContentTranslation continue.

==== Multimedia ==== * '''Blocking''' ** None * '''Blockers''' ** None * '''Updates''' ** Another A/B test for the core upload dialog (esp. regarding VisualEditor uploads) to be released soon in an effort to reduce garbage uploads, heads up
