Reading/Web/Release timeline/Visual Changes

This page is a companion page to the Release timeline, which documents visual changes (both expected and unexpected) that went out in each release as caught by https://pixel.wmcloud.org/. If a release has no heading, this means there were no visual changes in that release. We began tracking visual changes for the wmf10 branch (comparing master against wmf.9).

The failures here were due to expected changes:


 * [Expected] Fix spacing/margins for screens between 1000 and 1200 px
 * [Expected] Previously the height between the page title and the content was different on special pages vs regular pages. This was corrected in 789207
 * [Expected] The introduction of the toolbar component in 787562 led to slight pixel misalignment in the article namespace and action tabs. This was expected preparation for the introduction of a grid system to Vector and moving the article tools below the title.

 * 1) [Expected] We’re collapsing things into the more menu at lower breakpoints to make things more predictable. As a result edit icon will be hidden under more menu at lower resolutions now. There was one unexpected bug associated with this on history and Special:RecentChanges which will be fixed by 787801 so that this issue didn't got out with the release.
 * 2) [Expected] We changed the alignment of logo with table of contents and search with tabs
 * 3) [Regression]  Main menu placement is off on screens 700-1000px
