Summary of changes from June 20, 2015 to June 27, 2015.

These changes have been promoted to stable.

General

• cURL 7.43.0 contains a bug which can mangle the data sent by arc. This produces a "could not decode JSON serialization" error when running arc commands. You can find discussion in T8654. Use arc upgrade to pick up a workaround, downgrade cURL, or wait for the next cURL release (this is fixed in cURL HEAD).
• There is an upcoming major design change. You can preview the changes here, on secure.phabricator.com. See T8549 for discussion and feedback.
• There is an upcoming mandatory migration from old Differential hunk storage to new Differential hunk storage. Installs with a large amount of data and a long history can avoid maintenance downtime by running this migration manually in advance of when it becomes mandatory. Follow T8623 for discussion. This migration is a few weeks away.
• The Maniphest batch editor backend has been rewritten. This partially serves as a fix for an issue where it could affect too many tasks. See T8637.

Security

• No discussion this week.

Upgrading/Compatibility

• This period includes mail migrations which may take some time to complete on larger installs.

Infrastructure
