[19:10:31] Hi :) [19:10:38] Is it possible to ensure that the change will also be included in 1.46? [19:10:53] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1232792 [19:19:38] Neriah: 1.46 is not yet released. It will be created next week from the master branch. Given that your change was merged into master today, it will automatically be part of the 1.46.0 release in May/June. [19:24:23] Krinkle: I saw on the mailing list that the intention was to use wmf-25, and in phab that the change would be implemented in wmf-26... Did I miss something? [19:28:54] "The branches will reflect the code as of the last 'alpha' branch for the [19:28:55] release, 1.46.0-wmf.25, which will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis in the [19:28:55] week beginning 21 April 2026 for MediaWiki itself and those extensions [19:28:56] and skins available there" [19:29:37] Tue, Apr 14, 6:51 PM [19:29:38] Change #1232792 merged by jenkins-bot: [19:29:38] [mediawiki/core@master] UserGroupManager: call UserGroupsChanged for expired memberships [19:29:39] ReleaseTaggerBot added a project: MW-1.46-notes (1.46.0-wmf.26; 2026-04-28). [19:29:39] Tue, Apr 14, 7:00 PM [19:29:49] ... [19:53:37] Neriah: There are two misunderstandings. [19:54:18] The schedule works like this: Each six months, we start a new release cycle. We are currently in the 1.46 cycle, with an alpha branch going to WMF every week. Schedule at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.46/Roadmap [19:54:36] Every week we take master, label it wmf.Number and deploy to production. [19:55:16] The last one of those will also be the start of REL1_46. There is nothing after that. After that, master will be for the 1.47 cycle, starting with 1.47 wmf.1 [19:56:00] So there is no situation in which the REL branch is based on a wmf branch that is not the last wmf branch fo that cycle (25 vs 26). [19:57:17] That clarifies one misunderstanding. [19:58:11] Possibility 1: the email is wrong and it will be wmf-26. Possiblity 2: The phab bot is wrong and it means 1.47-wmf1. [19:58:56] The second misunderstanding is that Mateus referred to a branch that is not the last branch which seems like a mistake. [19:58:59] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar [19:59:16] The week of April 21 will have no branch and no deployment because of Earth day. [19:59:36] As shown on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.46/Roadmap the last one is slated to be wmf.26 [20:00:41] So either REL1_46 will be based on wmf.24 (one week earlier) or it will be based on wmf.26 (one week later). [20:00:54] I'll ask Mateus to clarify what the plan is. [20:02:20] Ok, I understand [20:02:37] Thank you very much for your help 🙏 [20:16:29] (xref T423256 for the task about the email that got sent out) [20:16:29] T423256: Announce 1.46 "pencils down" and likely timeline to wikitech-l etc. - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423256 [21:03:42] James_F: just fyi re https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419332#11821789, see also the discussion above - it seems like there may be some confusion around which branch is the final branch for wmf/1.46.0 [21:05:36] There's not confusion, there's a lack of announcement. [21:05:48] But in practice I think wmf.24 is the last prod alpha. [21:08:20] i mean, i can't speak for anyone else, but i'm certainly confused :p /lighthearted [21:08:52] it would probably be good imo to get clarification from the MW release folks regarding whether wmf.24 or wmf.26 will be the last branch, though [21:12:27] I agree that it would be nice.
