Development

   - Reduced page load time significantly once again. Page load time was
   cut to roughly 2/3. For now we’re happy with the resulting page load times.
   We’ll start concentrating on other areas of the user interface now.
   - Fixed faulty selection handling when adding a property using the
   keyboard 
(bugzilla:62868<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62868>
   )
   - Worked on fixing issues with handling of spaces in quantities (
   bugzilla:62567 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62567>)
   - Fixed miscount of Wikidata changes on the client watchlist (
   bugzilla:45812 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45812>)
   - Wrote new browser tests for special pages using the Cucumber and
   Selenium frameworks
   - Improved error formatting, localisation and handling. We will work on
   error message wording next to make them more understandable.
   - Worked on the code which propagates page moves from the clients into
   Wikidata as a preparation for allowing page deletions to appear on Wikidata
   - Made the Wikibase extension work with the new “Compact language links”
   Beta feature and a bit more independent from the UniversalLanguageSelector
   in general
   - The student team working on the entity suggester has finished the
   first version of it. The code is being reviewed now and is hopefully ready
   for deployment soon. Once it is deployed it will show you what new
   properties you could add to an item.
