[15:07:13] <itsmoon>	 Hi! I am writing some documentation and I'd need to know the exact date 1.46.0-wmf.7 got released. Is there a place for that?
[15:07:32] <itsmoon>	 Where I can check MW releases' date
[15:11:37] <itsmoon94>	 shoot-
[15:12:16] <itsmoon49>	 well be back later
[15:12:32] <itsmoon49>	 having some thecnical issues
[15:20:08] <itsmoon>	 Back, does someone know where I can check the date 1.46.0-wmf.7 got released?
[15:21:58] <Lucas_WMDE>	 my unhelpful answer would be it depends on what you consider the release
[15:22:22] <Lucas_WMDE>	 like, I imagine the git tag has one date, and the wikitech-l announcement also has a date. and I suspect they’re not always the same (but hopefully most of the time the same day)
[15:22:34] <Lucas_WMDE>	 oh wait
[15:22:37] <Lucas_WMDE>	 wmf.7?
[15:22:46] <Lucas_WMDE>	 I wouldn’t call wmf versions released at all ^^
[15:23:13] <Lucas_WMDE>	 those are branches not tags, their contents change as the deployment train rolls out and people backport fixes if necessary
[15:25:54] <itsmoon>	 So the lastest release would be 1.45.0?
[15:26:31] <Lucas_WMDE>	 no, there seems to be a 1.45.1 tag https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/+/1.45.1
[15:27:17] <Lucas_WMDE>	 (which had slight issues in the release process, see the thread at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/FOY6VXTBCCHIGYGSTQBPN3UFCL6CAX6Y/)
[15:31:09] <itsmoon>	 Thing is I am adding a code note on a gadget I am making because I use some code that would tipically be considered unreliable but has been stable since 2004 // '.fullImageLink img' stable since MW 1.4beta1 released on Dec 3, 2004. Last checked on MW 1.46.0-wmf.7 released on xxxx
[15:32:56] <itsmoon>	 I havent tested it on MW 1.45.1 but I assume if it works on wmf.7 it'll also work on 1.45.1
[15:33:22] <Lucas_WMDE>	 no, that’s a pre-release for 1.4*6*.0
[15:33:48] <Lucas_WMDE>	 but if this is a gadget on a Wikimedia wiki I would perhaps go with something like
[15:34:14] <Lucas_WMDE>	 .// '.fullImageLink img' stable since MW 1.4beta1, released 2004-12-03; last tested 2025-12-18 (1.46.0-wmf.7)
[15:34:44] <itsmoon>	 yeah that's perfect!
[15:36:58] <Lucas_WMDE>	 (there are ways to find out when 1.46.0-wmf.7 was first deployed to the wikis, but I don’t think that’s relevant in this context. what’s relevant is the date on which you tested it)
[15:39:07] <itsmoon>	 that makes sense
[15:45:10] <itsmoon>	 thank you!
