== Product ==


=== Reading ===


==== Web ====
Lazy loaded images has been deployed on Bengali Wikipedia. Ops will see
less image traffic per page there. That's normal!
We have a change to NavigationTiming. FYI performance team.
Working with Fundraising towards an A/B test. Fundraising please be alert
in case we need you!

==== Android ====
* Login and editing were temporarily broken as a result of a networking
library bug after HTTP/2 was enabled.  We found the bug Monday morning and
issued releases to work around the bug for now by forcing HTTP/1.1.  For
more info see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134817.
* Reading Lists are {{done}} and to be released in the next beta.  On deck:
The Feed.

==== iOS ====
* 5.0.4
** Just launched Monday - a bugfix release
* 5.0.5
** Likely in 2 weeks so we can address a major crash caused by framework
loading on the iOS platform
** https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134805
* 5.1
** Scoped major features last week (Maps and better iPad support)
** Refining scope this week
** Planning beta for week of June 12
** Will have a dependency on the geosearch extension


==== Mobile Content Service ====
* Removed redirect handling from service. Still adding redirect=false query
param. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134538
* As a result of a fix to remote config checking, MCS will soon serve most
Android app requests.

==== Reading Infrastructure ====
* Gergo emailing with Chad and Chris on RC timing with respect to
AuthManager

=== Editing ===
==== Collaboration ====
* '''Blocking''':
** Still working on External Store on Beta.
** Need to refactor Flow memcached for cross-data-center; just had another
meeting about that
* '''Blocked''':
* '''Updates''':
** Continuing notification work on:
*** Cross-wiki notifications coming by default tomorrow!
*** Echo plaintext email formatter done, HTML email formatter in-progress
*** Work continues on the new Echo MVC architecture
*** Echo recently enabled a feature to give users a web notification when
an email is sent to them.  This has resulted in a few cases where users
have received the notification, but not the email.  If someone in ops (and
anyone who wants to) could look at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134886,
that would be helpful.

==== Parsing ====
* Tidy replacement work going on -- visual diff tests is helping us figure
out things to fix and deprecate in terms of behavior (ex: self-closing tags
like <b/>, <div/> etc.). Still some ways to go. See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy for details.
* Kunal working on refactoring Linker code -- work in progress, but linker
tests are passing with his new patches.
* OCG: C.Scott believes that he has unblocked all the ocg issues, and that
ops can proceed with re-imaging the ocg servers (which seems to be going on
already).
