Aug 1, 2025Month: 2025-08 — Focused on stabilizing ImageMap rendering and maintaining upstream compatibility. Delivered reliable handling of image map area hrefs by converting relative URLs to absolute ones, with an automated regression test to guard against regressions. Performed a maintenance dependency upgrade by bumping wikimedia/parsoid to 0.22.0-a17 to address T402016; no code changes were needed. These efforts improve link fidelity in ImageMap features, reduce broken links on published pages, and strengthen overall rendering pipeline resilience.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for hallowelt/mediawiki: Focused on reliability, compatibility, and upstream alignment. Key outcomes included: 1) Backward-compatible RFC link handling: fixed conversion of RFC links so https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1234 becomes 'RFC 1234' in Wikitext, with a regression test added. 2) Parsoid dependency upgrades to address upstream bugs T383998 and T384740 (bumped to 0.21.0-a12 and 0.21.0-a13) with no code changes. 3) Output and logging cleanup: suppress error logging for empty headings; omit wrappers unless the heading has attributes; avoid wrappers when IDs are reused to keep the DOM clean. 4) Test suite alignment with Parsoid changes and new template expansion defaults: updated tests and wgParsoidNewTemplateExpansionMode; synchronized core repo with Parsoid changes.
