Development

   - Finished a large number of new features and got them ready for
   roll-out. More in this email
   <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2014-August/004328.html>
   .
   - Wikibase made a big step forward to finally switch to DataModel 1.0.
   - Improved support for entity IDs bigger than 2 billion (32 bit integer).
   - We had to adapt Wikibase to some major changes (more major than usual,
   partly caused by discussions at Wikimania) in MediaWiki core: The default
   Vector skin became it’s own component and the ResourceLoader got some small
   but important updates.
   - Continued work on refactoring code of the user interface to make it
   ready for new design
   - Wrote a script to get number of users having wikidata in their recent
   changes/watchlist from the database

See current sprint items <http://sb.wmflabs.org/p/wikidata/> for what we’re
working on next.
