Event Timeline

Beta Tester notes - I omitted the two Volunteer PR's from testing notes since they seem difficult for folks to test. Also if there is a preferred formatting for these that makes the copy & paste into Test Flight easier, please let me know!

This release includes several bug fixes and Improvements for testing:

  1. Chinese Language variants are now working correctly in Notifications Center Inbox
    • To test, Add a Chinese language variant to app languages in Settings
    • Go to your Notifications Center / Inbox.
    • Open the Project filter in the bottom right corner
    • Confirm only one Chinese language variant appears, and it matches the one you added in Settings
    • Confirm filtering your inbox works correctly.
  2. You can now type em dashes ("—") in the wikitext editor
    • Begin editing a page
    • Long press on hyphen in your keyboard - press emdash (longest dash) character.
    • Confirm character inserts.
  3. We added a warning message if users accept an image recommendation very quickly
    • Open “Add an image” from the explore feed (Available if you have more than 50+ edits)
    • On an image recommendation, tap the “Yes” button as quickly as the image appears
    • Verify that a warning is shown
  4. We changed a batch of our tags to edit tags
    • Go to an article on Test Wiki that already has an article description.
    • Change the article description and publish.
    • Go to the article’s history on Desktop, and the confirm edit summary no longer has #article-change-desc appended to the edit summary, and instead has the App description change edit tag added
    • Open a random article history on Test Wiki, go into a diff. Tap Undo.
    • Go to article history on Desktop, confirm edit summary no longer has #diff-undo appended to the edit summary, and instead has the App undo edit tag added.

Submitting Feedback: If you encounter any bugs, glitches, or issues, please report them via Test Flight or by emailing iOS-support@wikimedia.org. Please be as specific as possible in describing the problem, including steps to reproduce it.

Yeah, I think Phabricator does mess up the formatting (I lose the numbers and bullets when I copy the comment). For future reference I think it would be better to add it into a raw text file and attach it to a Phab comment:

Thanks!
