Tomorrow I'm going to upgrade https://horizon.wikimedia.org/ from version 'Liberty' to version 'Mitaka'. I've scheduled an hour-long window for the upgrade, although the actual switch-over should be much shorter. Downtime should be minimal; I'll be clearing caches as part of the upgrade, so login sessions will be interrupted, and performance may suffer a bit while the cache is cold.

The Mitaka version contains a lot of new Javascript front-end code. Some of the new interfaces (in particular the one for creating new VMs) are a bit strange and will take some getting used to. Overall, though, the Mitaka upgrade is an improvement, and I have high hopes that it will considerably improve performance.

I've tested the new version extensively, but there may well be breakages around the corners of some of our custom features, so don't hesitate to notify me if you see new, bad behavior.
