This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version {{CURRENTVERSION}}, and changes with a version number higher than that will not yet be active.

= Fixed bugs =

  • An [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php API] query for the imageinfo of more than one image now returns each image's information once, rather than re-returning the information for earlier images in the information for later images. (r24372, bug 10662)
  • A bug preventing the checkbox used by administrators to move-protect pages without protecting them from edits working properly in all browsers was fixed. (r24419, bug 10732)
  • The 'delete' link for old versions of an image now only appears for administrators (before, the link appeared for all users but didn't work except for administrators). (r24432, bug 10741)

= New features =

  • It's now possible to provide an edit summary when reverting an image to a previous version. (r24439, bug 10739)
  • Several enhancements were made to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php API]: (r24453, [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api/2007-July/000039.html])
  • The query list=search now allows for full text searches (like the 'Search' option of the search box).
  • The query list=allusers now allows returning and filtering by user groups (such as administrator and bureaucrat). (bug 10684)
  • There was also a breaking change to the output of prop=revisions, that removed a duplicate pageid in the output.

= Ongoing news =

  • Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See m:Localization statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to bugzilla.
