All, As before, the regular update<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/status#2013-09-26_.28MW_1.22wmf19.29> about progress on VisualEditor:
VisualEditor was updated as part of the wider MediaWiki 1.22wmf19 branch deployment <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/wmf19> on Thursday 26 September. In the week since 1.22wmf18, the team worked on fixing bugs and stability improvements to VisualEditor. You can now drag-and-drop elements other than just images - references, reference lists, templates and other "nodes" should all be moveable with the mouse. Blanking the contents of a heading, pre-formatted block or other formatting block now deletes the block rather than leaving it empty, which is consistent with how OpenOffice and Google Docs behave (bug 50254<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50254> ). The page settings dialog was briefly broken in Firefox but now is restored (bug 54322 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54322>). A bug that meant that unnamed references got their names corrupted on using VisualEditor has also been fixed (bug 54351<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54351>). A regression in copy-and-paste which meant that copy-and-paste stopped working outside VE even once it was closed was corrected (bug 54375<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54375>), and the functionality was fixed to allow pasting images in Firefox (bug 54377 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377>). Links are no longer possible to be applied to images, as this isn't possible to represent in wikitext (bug 53151<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53151>). A bug which means that VisualEditor selected both the "slug" (blank line) and the infobox at the start of an article on initialisation was fixed (bug 54446 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54446>). A complete list of individual code commits is available in the 1.22/wmf19 changelog<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/wmf19/Changelog#VisualEditor>, and all Bugzilla bugs closed in this period are on Bugzilla's list<http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&product=VisualEditor&query_format=advanced&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2013-09-26&order=component&list_id=236145> . If you have any questions, please do ask. Yours, -- James D. Forrester Product Manager, VisualEditor Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. [email protected] | @jdforrester
