< Reading < Web < Release timeline

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).

Comparing master against origin/wmf/1.39.0-wmf.12

Last updated: 23 May 2022

Desktop has 14 failures. 8 of these are on the history page and report the reference images having no revision history but those are false positives and is a result of a database schema change that occurred this week and that affected the revision table (Pixel should be more resilient to DB schema changes in the future).

Mobile (5 failed/15 pass): The notification and search icons will show a small shift due to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Echo/+/793114. This is expected. The settings link was restored to the main menu (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307696) leading to more expected failures in minerva_mobile_mainmenu-open.

Comparing master against origin/wmf/1.39.0-wmf.11

Last updated: 12th May 2022

All desktop tests are passing.

Mobile (7 failed/13 pass): Mobile tests were introduced but are flaky due to the sidebar animation and layout shift involving the footer logo. The latter should be resolved in #Comparing master against origin/wmf/1.39.0-wmf.12.

Comparing master against origin/wmf/1.39.0-wmf.9

47 passed | 13 failed (78% pass)

  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
