Global watchlist - Update 1
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:


 * General announcements
 * Management has migrated to phabricator; to report a bug or request a feature, please create a new task with the script's tag
 * Message translation has been reduced; for common messages that are already translated in mediawiki core, the system translations are used, in order to reduce duplication of efforts


 * Recent additions
 * New pages are shown at the start of a site's feed
 * Log entries are shown at the end of a site's feed
 * Basic validation has been added to user settings, applied before saving
 * Site validation has also been added; a site (excluding unique projects like wikidata, meta, commons, etc.) is considered to be valid if it is the form of "language.project", where both the language code and project name are valid. It does not, however, check that the actual site is valid; only that it could be. In other words, even though  refers to a site that doesn't exist, it is considered valid, because   is a valid language code (  is a working site) and   is a valid project.


 * Announcements
 * BREAKING CHANGE: Backwards compatibility supporting the use of sites as  (like 'en.wikipedia.org' or 'meta.wikimedia.org'), deprecated in version 1.7.5, will be removed soon; all sites should now be saved as   (like 'de.wikinews' or 'fr.wikisource')
 * BREAKING CHANGE: Storing user sites as, deprecated in version version 1.11.11, will be removed soon; all settings should be stored in the   object
 * Both of these breaking changes will be implemented alongside version 4.0; until then, any use of the config page (m:Special:BlankPage/GlobalWatchlistConfig) will result in saving settings in the newest format

Version 4.0 should be released in around a week. It will include the new features mentioned above, as well as removal of backwards compatibility for settings and sites.
 * Next release

I've sent this first message to users that participated in the discussion at m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Watchlists/Revive Crosswatch tool or otherwise shown interest in the script. To subscribe or unsubscribe from future updates, see the distribution list.

Global watchlist - Update 2
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:


 * General notes
 * To report a bug or request a feature, please create a new task on Phabricator with the script's tag


 * Recent additions
 * Site validation has been tightened. Previously, only the language code and project name had to be valid - now, they must be a valid combination (i.e.  exists, and so is valid, but   is not valid, because no such wiki exists).
 * When the global watchlist feed is loading, an OOUI widget will be shown, rather than an animated gif.
 * An option has been added to no longer group edits to the same page. For now, this isn't very useful, since metadata for the edits (editor, summary, tags, etc.) are not yet shown, but they will be soon. Until then, ungrouped edits are treated the same as pages with only 1 edit - the minor and bot flags are displayed if applicable. If edits are grouped, the minor and bot flags are only shown if they apply to all of the edits.


 * Upcoming changes
 * Starting with version 5.0, there will be an option at the settings page to switch to and from a "stable" version of the script. When activated, the script import in your global.js should be replaced, and then the page refreshed with the new script loaded. The stable script will live at m:User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/stable.js, and will be updated with each full release. Otherwise, it shouldn't be edited, providing a version that is less prone to bugs as the script is developed.


 * Announcements
 * WARNING: Starting with version 5.1, the option to mark the pages of a site as seen be implemented using the  API option, rather than manually listing the titles. This is being done to simplify the implementation code. This will result in the same functionality as marking all pages as seen via Special:Watchlist (i.e. even if the page isn't visible due to your filter choices, it will still be marked as seen). If you would like to keep using the current method for a while, please switch to the stable branch.

Version 5.0 has just gone live. It includes the new features mentioned above.
 * Next release
