Hi all,
Welcome to this week's deployment highlights! I'm pretending to be Greg today.
The full log of planned deployments next week can be found at: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Week_of_Aug_25th
A couple of notable items on Tuesday of next week * Global user CSS and JS will be enabled. More details in Legoktm's announcement: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2014-August/000893.html * The "in other projects" sidebar will be enabled as a Beta Feature next week: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Beta_Features/Other_projects_sidebar
As usual, the release train keeps rolling. 1.24wmf18 (currently on test.wikipedia.org, test2.wikipedia.org and mediawiki.org) will be rolled out to the remainder of sites over the course of the week. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/wmf18
...and 1.24wmf19 (currently still in active development) will be branched on Thursday and deployed to mediawiki.org then: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/wmf19
That's all for now. Greg will go back to pretending to be Greg on Monday. :-)
