위키미디어 웹사이트로 미디어위키 1.19 배포: 문제가 생기기 전에 시험하기
위키미디어 기술자가 위키백과와 그 자매 웹사이트를 구동하는 소프트웨어인 미디어위키 최신 버전에 마무리 작업을 하고 있습니다. "1.19wmf1"로 명명된 이번 버전은 다음 주부터 단계적으로 위키미디어 웹사이트로 배포될 것입니다.

우리는 최근 [//blog.wikimedia.org/2012/01/28/beta-cluster-test-software-before-deployment/ 베타 클러스터를 만들어], 위키미디어 위키를 일부 복사했고 거기에서 사용자가 새 버전을 시험해 보고 자신들이 사용하는 위키의 특정한 환경에서 꽤 잘 작동하는지 검토했습니다.

Things are looking good, and the current plan is to run the deployment in five stages between February 15th and March 1st, 2012. The schedule may change based on unexpected issues, so you should refer to the MediaWiki 1.19 roadmap for an up-to-date schedule of when your wiki will be affected.

Many new features and bug fixes brought by MediaWiki 1.19 are back-end, behind-the-scenes changes, for example infrastructure work to support our ongoing [//blog.wikimedia.org/2012/02/09/scaling-media-storage-at-wikimedia-with-swift/ move to Swift] as our media storage platform.

There are also more visible improvements, like better diff readability for colorblind people, and better support of the user's gender and language in the interface. A list of all changes is available in the [//svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES-1.19?view=markup draft release notes].

Check JavaScript and Gadgets compatibility with ResourceLoader
A particular area of improvement in MediaWiki 1.19 relates to JavaScript. While most of the legacy site scripts, user scripts and gadgets will continue to work, it's also possible that the new version be less forgiving of assumptions and errors in code. For example, faster load times may uncover errors in scripts that don't explicitly declare the modules they're using.

Furthermore, a new version of ResourceLoader will be deployed later this year, that will bring improvements specific to gadgets, but will require gadgets to be made compatible with ResourceLoader.

Gadgets maintainers are therefore strongly advised to start upgrading their scripts now, to avoid major disruption later. The migration guide to ResourceLoader is the main document for Gadget developers; a list of JavaScript deprecations and default modules are available as well.

You can also join the 2011 Resource Walker, an attempt to go through all Wikimedia wikis and update outdated JavaScript. An IRC workshop is planned to facilitate the process; more information will be posted later on this blog.

Moving towards transparent upgrades
As we move towards more frequent software upgrades, we expect them to be less and less painful — and ideally, at some point they'll go so smoothly that users won't even notice them, except for the new features that will appear. We're not completely there yet, but we've made progress in the past year or so, and we're committed to continue our efforts, both for the benefits of developers and users.

In the meantime, please bear with us if, despite our efforts, you encounter issues due to the upgrade; we'll try and fix them as soon as we can. It's not too late to visit the Beta cluster and report issues there or in our bug tracker. The more people test beforehand, the smoother the deployment should go.
