MediaWiki version 1.16 is already looking to be a massive release. Since the 1.15 branch, we’ve seen Michael Dale’s upload branch merged, my maintenance overhaul branch merged, a new skin, dozens of bugs fixed and enhancements added, thousands of translations updated…have I missed anything? I probably have. MediaWiki was branched in from r48811 (plus a bunch of backported fixes). We’re currently on r55194 as I write this. I don’t think you have to be a developer to realize that 6383 commits (in less than 5 months!) between versions leads to a lot of changes.

Need I mention we haven’t even branched 1.16 yet? Who knows what else might make it into the 1.16 release? Any particular bugs you’d like to see fixed soon?

PS: I plan to whip up some screenshots from the new-installer branch soon

[Edit: Werdna reminded me about his Preferences rewrite. So a total of 3 branches merged]

The election results have been announced. Congrats to all that ran.

Sorry to see Domas leave the board, he was among my more favorite candidates. Overall I’m pretty happy with the results though.

Also briefly (I didn’t blog this already?), I merged the maintenance branch in r54225! Had some cleanup (ok, a lot of cleanup), but everything seems to be ok now.

Last major goals with this: finish cleanup of scripts to subclass Maintenance, phase out WMF-specific crap, remove last of the ancient and unused stuff, overhaul update system. I go back to school next week, so I didn’t really hit my personal goal of finishing it before the fall semester, but I did a pretty damn good job if I do say so myself.
