Development

   - Query Service throttling has been tweaked, to block a type of abusive
   client
   <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2017-October/011280.html>
   - Adding diff support for Lexeme-related edits
   - More work on checking constraints on qualifiers and references (
   phabricator:T168532 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168532>)
   - Now caching constraints results to make it ready for rollout for more
   users
   - Continued work on more fine-grained usage tracking so we better know
   which parts of an item is used on an article on Wikipedia and the other
   sister projects
   - Improved the way Wikidata changes are shown in watchlist and recent
   changes on Wikipedia and Co so they are more in-line with the other changes
   (phabricator:T48329 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T48329>,
   phabricator:T50684 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T50684>) Thanks
   Matej!
   - Released the Wikibase DataModel
   <https://github.com/wmde/WikibaseDataModel> component in version 7.2.0 (
