1.28.0-wmf.17 (August 30 - September 1)
Changes can be added to this list until Tuesday August 30 around 19:00 UTC. Changes are in Echo unless they are marked with "(Flow)", "(Thanks)", or another indication that they're in a different repository.

Changes listed in italics have not yet been merged, and they are only listed aspirationally: we could still decide to put them off until next week, or they could fail to be ready in time.
 * New features / bigger changes
 * (Flow) Add unwatch topic/board dynamic action for Flow notifications
 * Add dynamic secondary actions to notification items
 * Bug fixes
 * No user impact

1.28.0-wmf.16 (August 23-25)
Changes can be added to this list until Tuesday August 16 around 19:00 UTC. Changes are in Echo unless they are marked with "(Flow)", "(Thanks)", or another indication that they're in a different repository.

Changes listed in italics have not yet been merged, and they are only listed aspirationally: we could still decide to put them off until next week, or they could fail to be ready in time.
 * New features / bigger changes
 * Add rasterized email icons to Echo modules for email
 * This changes the icons used in Echo emails from SVG to PNG so that they will work in GMail
 * Include the 'no notifications' message in nojs div
 * Follow-up 8eda2aa3f: actually render the nojs message on Special:Notifications
 * Bug fixes
 * Moderate notifications
 * (Flow) Locate events using EventMapper instead of TargetPageMapper
 * DiscussionParser stripSig from mention content
 * This removes signatures from mention excerpts (for new mentions). This means that excerpts that used to look like  will now look like
 * Tweak badge styles
 * Make Monobook use the same badge color scheme as Vector
 * Move the badges down a bit in Monobook
 * Mobile action menu should stick to bottom of screen
 * Make dotdotdot menu not be extremely wide
 * Make excerpts in bundles not italic, but still grey
 * Revert "Dim the title of current wiki if it has 0 notifications"
 * Add bold names for mentions status notifications
 * Make server-side logging always check whether schema is enabled
 * Fix special page visit logging
 * (Flow) Use LIBXML_PARSEHUGE for deep XML documents
 * Needed because there's a page on kabwiki that contains a nested list that's 136 levels deep (all of them empty; it looks like someone made a horizontal line out of list bullets). Each conceptual level is two nesting levels in HTML, so it violates the nesting limit of 256 levels.
 * No user impact
 * Log edits in multiple sections that could trigger mentions
 * This started out as a patch to also detect mentions for multi-section edits, but after the self-mention fiasco it was changed to only log when these types of mentions were detected but not actually send them. This will allow us to see what kinds of things this code picks up before turning it on for real.
 * Log potential notification for mentions on changes
 * Another change to the mention detection rules that makes them more tolerant. Also logs first so we can see what the impact would be before sending real mentions to people.
 * Always use php based diff in EchoDiscussionParserTest
 * Fix parameter for convertNamespaceFromWikitext.php

1.28.0-wmf.15 (August 16-18)

 * Log 'mark all read' button click actions
 * Log the mark entire cross-wiki bundle as read action
 * Bug fixes
 * Follow-up 4e64643eb: Count pageless notifications when counting pageless notifications
 * (Flow) Fix notification cleanup on post moderation
 * Revert "Hack around browser bug in IE breaking badge alignment in Monobook"
 * Fix typo in Dutch message
 * Revert "Allow self mentions"
 * Emit sortChange only for read/unread actions
 * Fix mention failures not being sent
 * Make footer notice link blue in Monobook
 * Changing "this" to "these" because it refers to plural criteria (filters)
 * No user impact
