Next meeting on Oct 11 ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/5_Minute_Demo#Recordings_and_Presenters * Parsoid Services (Core Platform) and Parsing team deployed code this week that implements HTML version (content) negotiation protocol alongwith a major version bump of Parsoid HTML from 1.8.0 to 2.0.0 ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Specs/HTML/2.0.0 ). As part of this, RESTBase + Parsoid will enforce the HTML version requested in the Accept header. If a version is requested that is different (^ semantics) than what is available in storage, RESTBase will ask Parsoid to get the appropriate version. If Parsoid cannot do that, it will return a HTTP 406. What does it mean for Parsoid clients? If you are requesting a really old version in your Accept header, you are very likely going to get a HTTP 406. If you request an older version (1.7 or 1.8), you will see an additional latency to your requests while Parsoid downgrades the HTML from the more up to date version. So, Parsoid clients should provide an accept header with the most up-to-date version of Parsoid HTML you can handle. Subsequently, you should update your code to handle the newer versions in a timely manner. A longer announcement and wiki docs will be coming out soon. == Audiences == === Contributors === ==== Community Tech ==== * Blocked by: * Blocking: * Updates: ** ==== Anti-Harassment Tools ==== * Blocked by: * Blocking: * Updates: ** ==== Editing ==== * Blocked by: * Blocking: ** Updates: ** ==== Growth ==== * Blocked by: * Blocking: * Updates: ** ==== Language ==== * Blocked by: None * Blocking: None * Updates: ** Content Translation v2 released! https://wikimediafoundation.org/2018/09/30/content-translation-version-two/ === Readers === ==== iOS native app ==== * Blocked by: * Blocking: * Updates: ** ==== Android native app ==== * Blocked by: * Blocking: * Updates: ** ==== Readers Web ==== * Blocked by: * Blocking: * Updates: ** Mobile website (MinervaNeue / MobileFrontend): *** Invest in the MobileFrontend & MinervaNeue frontend architecture https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/Invest_in_the_MobileFrontend_%26_MinervaNeue_frontend_architecture **** Add unit tests for util and mfExtend T203818 **** Bundle widgets and models with Webpack; enable headless Page and View tests T204867 T204786 **** Make test set up explicit T204885 **** Lint unsupported JavaScript in build products T203976 **** Move MainMenu click tracking schema from MobileFrontend to Minerva T204584 **** Merge skin option modules into a single ResourceLoader module and move enabled logic to client T167713 *** Page issues https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile_Page_Issues **** A/B test in progress T204609 **** Lots of cross-wiki QA and A/B test discussions *** Maintenance and bug fixes T205449 T202756 *** Advanced mobile contributions https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Advanced_mobile_contributions **** Design and product continuing special pages work in Minerva ** PDF rendering (Proton) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/PDF_Functionality *** Remaining work tracked in T186748 *** Html2pdf route should return promise T201158 T204055 T181623 *** Consistently represent asynchronous code execution T204055 ** SEO: where should Schema property 'sameAs' live?
