Aug 1, 2025Monthly performance summary for August 2025 (sillsdev/web-xforge): This month delivered substantial UX improvements, localization expansion, and reliability enhancements across the Drafts and Sources workflow, with strong business value in data accuracy, faster release cycles, and broader user support. Key features delivered include: - Drafts and Sources UI/UX Improvements: enhancements to draft history configuration heading, mobile visibility of language codes in sources configuration, Serval draft jobs component, overview text color, and improved step order on the configure sources page. - Display project short name on unconnected drafts page to improve project discovery and triage. - Localization: added Persian and Hindi translations and updated localization files to broaden global reach. - CI/QA automation and test fixes: more robust localized screenshots workflow, inclusion of server output in e2e artifacts, improved help-site screenshot scripts, and updated e2e tests for Angular 19. - Draft History UI: mat-card progress display and enabling the draft history feature flag with corresponding e2e tests. - E2E stability and performance: increased speed of default e2e preset and updated tests to align with new configuration steps; re-enabled previously disabled tests and resolved localized_screenshots test issues. - Environment and deployment readiness: switched to the new DBL staging server in development and migrated to the new DBL server in production. - Misc: updated wording on draft format options and sorted unjoined projects by short name. These changes collectively improve data accuracy, user experience, localization coverage, and release reliability.
