Code push has happened!
Hi all, I'm preparing to do a code push. You can see the latest code tour here: https://dw-dev.dreamwidth.org/214638.html
Hang on to your hats!
Edit: The code has pushed! As always, please let us know if you see anything wonky or broken and we'll get on it!
* Font size was way too small. We've tweaked them to be larger, but would welcome more feedback!
* Lack of ability to horizontally resize comment area. This has been fixed, you can drag the box horizontally again like you should be able to!
* A couple of style issues have been found and fixed.
* An issue affecting some Navigation strips has been fixed.
* An issue affecting syndicated accounts, proxied images, and a couple other worker related tasks were broken. They're better now.
* We've made some updates to the design of the comment reply form, we brought back the browse button, made the subject line full-width, and some other tweaks. Please let us know what you think!
* The RTE on the old create entry form is returned to service. A few more months, that's all we ask of you old friend...
* OpenID was broken, it's back.
* Button sizes are reset to default, we are no longer trying to make things line up. Let the ziggurat design pattern live on.
* Polls should show properly sized bars again.
* Lots more Android issues, we had to murder the unused spellcheck button to make it work out. Some weird interactions with differently sized elements and our ancient HTML.
* Related, some fields seem to have gone emo and are putting on heavy eyeliner (have bold, dark outlines). We're aware.
All known issues are being investigated and will be fixed! Please hang tight while we work on it :)

Thanks for the hard work on all this old code, I can't imagine how much of a nightmare it must be.

We got a LOT of advantages and benefits by using the open-source LJ code as our base when we started the DW project (to begin with, it shaved about two years or so off our development time, but there were a LOT more) but I will confess, now that the code is now nearly old enough to legally drink alcohol in the US (and is old enough to vote!) I sometimes regret that decision, lol. (Not enough to change it, because it would be even worse by now to start from scratch, but occasionally I want to boot up the time machine and go shake 2008!me by the shoulders and yell "LOOK AT YOUR LIFE. LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES.") Mark and I have literally been working on this codebase in some form or another longer than some of our users have been ALIVE.
