Board Thread:New Features/@comment--20170828174219

Hello!

FANDOM is experimenting with a new code release strategy this week, in which we release code every day of the week - Monday through Friday. As our engineering and QA abilities have grown and evolved over the years, we have significantly cut down on code regressions and buggy releases. As we feel increasingly confident that our coding standards are high, we also want to ensure that the best, most useful code is live on the site as soon as it can be realistically made available.

As such, this week we've decided to see if we can continue to deliver high quality code and feature improvements at a 5x/week release schedule as we previously could with our usual 2x/week schedule. This week is just a one-week experiment. While we may decide to change our usual release schedule based on our findings, we expect to go back to the 2x/week release schedule on September 4th until we make such a decision.

Since the engineers are trying something new, the FANDOM Technical Updates crew decided we might as well try something new too! We're posting daily release notes on this threaded forum. We figure it might be easier to follow one thread than read five blogs. Of course, if you want regular technical updates, be sure to subscribe to the TU blog.

Here are direct anchor links to each day's release notes:
