I am excited to announce that this is an exciting announcement.
Today the Wikimedia Release Engineering Team deployed a larger software
upgrade of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org
You now better enjoy
* Performance improvements:
- Global fulltext Search ignores data of uninstalled Phab apps
- Embedded full size image files are lazy loaded
- Using DNS preconnect for our separate file domain
- Faster rendering of Project Burndown tabular reports
* Search user interface:
- "Advanced Search" renamed to Global Search and application search
- Global Search Scope dropdown: "Current Application" replaced by the
actual app name; no more such option when the app does not support
global fulltext search
- Maniphest Task Search does not anymore show unused "Packages" and
"Owners" when using typeahead in the "Subscribers" search field
- Ctrl+Return in text boxes opens search results in a new tab
* User Profile pages:
- New "Authored Tasks" one-click menu item in sidebar
- Less ambiguous menu item names in sidebar
- Support for images in WebP format as avatars
- (admins only): One-click menu item to view Activity Log of user
- (admins only): User's Two-Factor Auth status shown on profile page
* Project Workboards:
- Those numbers in workboard column headers have now tooltips
- Archived projects are now strike-through in navigation breadcrumbs
- Automated Column Triggers: Allow setting the user who performs the
move as task assignee
- Thinner scrollbars in Firefox on Windows
- Importing columns: No more crash when typeahead querying projects
and search string is not a project name prefix
- The "Move Tasks" action now requires "Can Bulk Edit Tasks" rights
* Herald automated actions:
- New condition "Acting user's projects" available
- No more "Unknown Object (????)" for custom field values in editor
* General text input:
- No more text suddenly disappearing when writing {{#something:}}
- Stripped surrounding whitespace when entering project or task titles
- Support for "size=thumb" parameter when embedding video files
* Conduit API:
- Support search select fields as constraints, e.g. "Group By" in
maniphest.search, project status in project.search, status and
hosted in diffusion.repository.search
- Improved documentation of types in transaction.search
* User Preferences:
- Email: No more useless "Audits" section (we uninstalled that app)
- External Accounts: Shows tooltips for buttons
- Multi-Factor Auth: Explains consequences of adding a second factor
* Projects:
- Profile images: Show maximum picture dimensions at uploading
- No more "set this color to Red" message editing archived projects
- No more 404 error on URLs with an alternative hashtag of a milestone
* Project Report Charts:
- Rotated x-axis labels for better readability
- Improved line colors
* Files:
- Support rendering images in WebP format
- List of uploads includes the timestamp, not only the date
* Mobile: Support zooming on pages (e.g. when looking at image files)
* Mobile: Detection of Firefox on Android (to adjust content width)
* Tokens: Allow filtering given tokens by token types
* Wikibugs IRC bot: Report the color of milestones correctly
* (admins only) Allow changing email of bot and mailing list accounts
* Numerous crasher fixes
* Some accessibility improvements (ARIA labels, titles, etc)
* Cleaner CSS (less noise in your browser's Developer Tools' console)
Our Downstream dependency trees of tasks are at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386558 and

I'd like to thank the Wikimedians BlankEclair, mainframe98, MatmaRex,
pppery, taavi, valerio.bozzolan, xtex, who contributed patches to the
upstream project at https://we.phorge.it. (Hope I forgot nobody?)
As usual, if you have comments or questions about Phab, please bring
them up on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Phabricator/Help !
