Kürzliche Software-Änderungen

You can test a new Beta Feature called HHVM. It should make editing faster. Please report bugs if you see them. [1]

Probleme

There was a problem on the English Wikipedia on September 19. It was due to edits on a template used on many pages.
Sites were down for users in the Pacific area around 7:00 UTC on September 20. It was due to a problem in the San Francisco data center.
There were two bad bugs messing up articles in some browsers in VisualEditor. We fixed the bugs and updated the sites. [2] [3]

Software-Änderungen in dieser Woche

The new version of MediaWiki (1.24wmf22) is on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since September 18. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis on September 23, and on all Wikipedias on September 25 (calendar).
If you have more than 2000 notifications, the oldest ones will be removed.[4] [5]
In the "Vector" skin, the icon used for users will show a neutral gender. [6] [7]
The VisualEditor template tool now tells you if a required field is missing. [8]
The "Cancel" button of the VisualEditor save window is now called "Resume editing". This shows that you can still edit and you won't lose your changes. [9]
There are new keyboard shortcuts in VisualEditor. Use Ctrl+Shift+6 for code and Ctrl+Shift+5 for ~~strikethrough~~. [10] [11]
In VisualEditor, you can now see that you are switching to the source editing mode. Before, it was not clear it was happening. [12]

Future site changes

You can see a plan for the move to Phabricator. It's the new tool to track bugs. A guided tour will be done via video on September 24. [13]
