Much appreciation to Andre and to Daniel for their many hours of work on this, and on their previous security upgrade of Bugzilla. > I've done some quick testing, and to my surprise stuff like "Weekly bug > summary" did not break. > However, if you see new issues and problems please file a ticket: > http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia&component=Bugzilla > > The only (potential) regression is that we did not apply previous > changes to Bugmail.pm, described as "Wikimedia Hack!

And we get more customizability to generally improve the look, feel, and workflow of Bugzilla. So, thanks for pushing this, Daniel and Andre! -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
