Too common errors
[edit]- PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.24wmf3/includes/Export.php:944) in /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.24wmf3/includes/exception/MWException.php on line
Line 944 of Export.php is a call to print. That would explain why headers were already sent.
- Check MWException to see if headers were already sent, tighten things up.

HHVM
[edit]Ori has been setting up osmium as a job runner as hhvm. Job runner is the first actual production service. Slow progress from FB on review of Timâs work. Weâre working off of Timâs branches for our testing. Tim has made a lot of changes to CMake to make it so that dso extensions can be done only from headers.
Search
[edit]Fixing up Hebrew plugin for search, which works better, except when it crashes which is often. Will replace with a different less crashy plugin. Working on ICU support as well.
