[Kevin Smith]

Forwarding since I don't think all TPGers are on wikitech-l, and this seems
like news worth spreading.

To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l at lists.wikimedia.org>


A significant update to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org is coming tonight!

I will be taking Phabricator offline for a short time during the regularly
scheduled maintenance window. This will take place between 01:00 - 03:00
UTC (5:00PM-7:00PM Pacific)

There are a whole lot of new features and bug fixes coming with this
update. Here are some of the most important bug fixes and requests for new
functionality which can will resolved after the update:

   - T84833: When you close an unassigned task as "Resolved" from the
   Comment action, Phabricator thinks you want to claim the task
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T84833>
   - T89675: Phabricator avatars should have high definition version for HD
   displays <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89675>
   - T119708: setting security to software security bug excluded subscribers
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119708>
   - T89335: Creating private tasks by filling a web form (for AffCom)
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89335>
   - T876: @mentions in descriptions should autocomplete
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T876>
   - T77228: Let non-members watch projects
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T77228>
   - T87135: Phabricator should only notify changes to the "Security" field
   if it is indeed changed <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87135>
   - T120903: investigate hiding the policy controls for phabricator
   projects. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120903>
   - T91529: Turning the sprint flag on should apply the expected icon and
   color to the project <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91529>
   - T115017: For new Phab accounts, link to [[mw:How to report a bug]] at
   the top of task creation form <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115017>
   - T91538: Make new tasks within a specific project use a template in
   description field <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91538>

For context, there has been some ongoing discussion about potential issues
at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/conpherence/308/ - further
documentation of the changes and their implications will be published soon.

If you notice any serious issues after the update, please report them in
phabricator or via IRC in the #wikimedia-devtools channel, however, please
wait until the maintenance window is over before reporting any issues -
problems encountered during the maintenance window are to be expected and
reporting them will only serve as a distraction while the upgrade is
underway.

Thanks for your patience!
