Product[edit]

Reading[edit]

iOS[edit]

  • Updates:
    • 5.0.0 was released - all the new things
    • 5.0.1 was submitted - fix all the new things that crashed
  • Upcoming:
    • 5.0.1 - release (blocked on Apple review)
    • 5.0.2 - a little bit of this and that, second round of bug fixes, some small functionality tweaks
    • 5.1.0 - still in planning stage for some larger adjustments to some of the new 5.0.0 functionality
  • Blocking:
    • nothing comes to mind atm
  • Blocked:
    • 5.0.1 - release (blocked on Apple review)
    • "mw-mobilefrontend-leadsection" leaking in to mobileview lead section (broke our transform but we pushed a workaround in 5.0.1)
    • powering through 5.0.0 OTRS feedback firehose (not so much blocked as just time consuming) - digesting this feedback will inform what goes into 5.0.2 and 5.1.0
    • this also isn't really a blocker, just something we'll need to do sometime in the future - audit mobile content service output for any android-specific bits which may need to be tweaked before iOS can adopt - i doubt there will be issues, but we'll need to check

  • Blocking:
    • None
  • Blocked:
    • potential blocker: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118306 "File: pages of images stored on commons result in 404s". Would be really nice to get that one fixed before we roll out MCS usage to Android production app.
    • We need a new Android prod app release for the roll out of MCS usage in Android production app
  • Updates:
    • Considering starting roll out of MCS usage to Android production app next week since DC-switchover test is delayed until mid April. Might as well do it now.
