Title: Tags: News People:

From the [[Event:109|recent #mwstake meeting]]: * 1.35 (out in a few weeks) will be the last release to support Internet Explorer ({{phab|T248061}}) * Uncached VisualEditor w/ Parsoid/PHP (no JS, no RESTBase) for MW 1.35 LTS ({{phab|T248343}}) * [[mw:Manual/Hooks/SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec|SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec]] and a number of other hooks are being deprecated ({{phab|T60137}}). ** See [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-June/093556.html the email announcing this] and [[mw:User:Jdlrobson/Skins_for_extension_developers|Jon Robinson's notes about how skins are changing in MW 1.35]] * Extensions can now provide alternative database backends. Oracle and MS SQL are being moved out of core (instead of the core MySQL, Postgres etc): {{phab|T226857}} * [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/ Gerrit] updated to version 3. You can now [https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-inline-edit.html create and edit patches via the web interface]. ** But [[mw:Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/GitLab|Gerrit will be replaced by GitLab]] next year. ** GitLab's interface and work-flow is more similar to Github's, but it allows the WMF to host it. (See [https://about.gitlab.com/devops-tools/github-vs-gitlab.html Gitlab's comparison to Github] or [https://usersnap.com/blog/gitlab-github/ a (less biased?) comparison from UserSnap].) ** Related, [[mw:Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/CI_Futures_WG|WMF's CI working group]] recommended replacing Jenkins with [[mw:Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/CI_Futures_WG/Report#Argo|Argo]]. * There is a [[mw:Project:Proposal_for_changing_logo_of_MediaWiki,_2020|proposal to change the MediaWiki logo]] with options available for consideration.
