FIX: missing In September, the team working on VisualEditor expanded browser support, improved some features, and fixed nearly 60 bugs and tickets.
Users of Internet Explorer 10, who we were previously preventing from using VisualEditor due to some major bugs, will now be able to use VisualEditor; this follows on from Internet Explorer 11 support last month. When editing a template with a required field, VisualEditor now warns you to avoid leaving it blank, and you can now create auto-numbered links using VisualEditor.
Improvements and updates were made to a number of interface messages as part of our work with translators to improve the software for all users, based on feedback from users and user testing. We made progress on table structure editing and auto-filled citations, both of which will be coming soon. The deployed version of the code was updated five times in the regular release cycle (1.24-wmf20, 1.24-wmf21, 1.24-wmf22, 1.25-wmf1 and 1.25-wmf2).
