I always have difficulties to quickly identify the current versions of core and extensions (quickly= without following the linked hash to gerrit and to look there for the commit date) Hereby I suggest: - to use in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/core.git;a=blob_plain;f=includes/specials/SpecialVersion.php;hb=master a different git log command - with the goal to list not only the SHA hashes, but at least also the date, and perhaps also the ref name. git log --pretty=format:"%h %ai" -n 1 resulting in something like a441912 2012-06-16 18:04:43 +0000 or git log --pretty=format:"%d %h [%ai]" -n 1 (HEAD, origin/master, origin/HEAD, master) a441912 2012-06-16 18:04:43 +0000
Thank you for your bug report. Looking Special:Version following it, I noted our credits list weren't up to date. Gerrit change #40079 solves that. A column date (YYYY-MM-DD) seems the most convenient solution, but there is already several columns and the description column width is already rather small in 1280x1024. I don't think hour or branch is really relevant. So I offer to put the date in the second column. That would give for example for ParserFunctions: ParserFunctions (Version 1.4.1) (8d2534b) 2012-12-22 Enhance parser with logical functions Tim Starling, Robert Rohde, Ross McClure and Juraj Simlovic
Thank you. As a space-saving alternative, the date could be written in a second _row_, I mean a column layout such as hash<br/> date for core, an for extensions table in SpecialVersion.
Yes, this is what I wanted to convey as presentation. Read the Comment 1 as "a blank line = column separator".
It seems this topic has been previously discussed. This is bug 38783. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 38783 ***
