April 15, 2019: Fandom App Updated, Wikia.org Wikis Migrated & More

ALL POSTS

TimmyQuivy·4/12/2019 in General

Here are the release notes for Fandom's code release scheduled for April 15, 2019:

NOTABLE: An update for the Fandom app on iOS and Android was recently released - check Apps Technical Updates for details!
NOTABLE: We recently completed migration of a range of wikis to wikia.org
FIXED: We recently fixed a bug where approve actions would show as delete actions on Discussions Insights report lists.
FIXED: We recently fixed a bug where file pages could be tagged in Discussions posts.
FIXED: We're rolling out a fix for an issue where some images are downloaded as 'octet-stream' instead of the expected file format - but it is affected by caching. Some additional fixes for image generation are being worked on, and we plan to perform a wide cache refresh once all are live. (As a workaround, you can simply rename the .octet-stream extension to the expected one, such as .jpg or .png)

Apps Technical Updates

Based on the large number of comments I have seen on this issue, it seems the octet-stream problem occurs with specific combinations of download link, browser, browser version, and OS. It isn't really helpful to just say, "It is happening for me." or "It isn't happening for me.".

For the link https://anno1800.fandom.com/wiki/File:Beer_Layout.png , I can right-click and save the image as PNG on macOS with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox; and on Windows with Chrome. I have not tested other browsers/operating systems.

On mobile Google Chrome. When I try to download it, I can download it as a png, but the filename ends with .octet-stream.png. However, the issue is when I try not to download, in which case it downloads the octet-stream file.
