Re: [Wikitech-l] Phabricator upgrade and UI changes
I held off on this upgrade for a while trying to let the changes mature upstream, hoping that they might come to their senses. That never happened. Many people might prefer the 'tablet' layout which can be activated by changing the css class on the element from 'device-desktop' to 'device' Phabricator automatically switches to this mode when the window is between 400px and 768px wide, however, I find that it is a pleasant alternative to the desktop layout, even at resolutions much greater than 768px.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Phabricator upgrade and UI changes
I find it very aggravating the that the author of a task is now very far away on screen from their comment. Makes it difficult to tell what's going on and harder to target a reply directly at them. -- brion On Wed, May 4, 2016 at 8:57 AM, Federico Leva (Nemo) wrote: > AFAICT, in the last few days there were two unannounced upgrades of > Phabricator, to an unspecified version of the software, the second of which > applied rather radical UI changes, especially to Maniphest. > > Initially I wasn't sure most/which UI changes were bad/good or why, but > now I've observed myself for a few days and I took the time to take > screenshots and describe my findings.

I'm sure they'd welcome some help if someone was so-minded to assist. Did I miss such an announcement and if yes where is it? The best place for the WMF-side updates is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128009 , part of the regular (monthly?) series listed on the Deployments page. I note though this one wasn't listed in Tech/News, which might have helped a little. -- James D.

[Wikitech-l] Phabricator upgrade and UI changes
AFAICT, in the last few days there were two unannounced upgrades of Phabricator, to an unspecified version of the software, the second of which applied rather radical UI changes, especially to Maniphest. Initially I wasn't sure most/which UI changes were bad/good or why, but now I've observed myself for a few days and I took the time to take screenshots and describe my findings. Of course, most are about * the consistent enlargement of some items to the expense of others, * the introduction of a sidebar to host an ever-growing amount of buttons, * the move of most task information under the description or under the sidebar. Please comment on the reports, add your findings and file new reports for separate issues (I've not tested areas outside Maniphest, for instance): * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134393 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134394 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134398 It would also be nice to have some precise and authoritative information on when Phabricator was upgrade to what version, what the release notes and gotchas are, etc. Did I miss such an announcement and if yes where is it?
