Hey folks :)
We have just deployed new code. The most important changes are:
* We cut down loading time of items significantly. Have a look at this
graph:

We're not done yet with performance improvements but this is already
a huge step.
* Wikisource now has access to the data on Wikidata via the property
parser function and Lua.
* We have extended the Lua interface significantly to make it easier
to use Wikidata data in Lua. Hoo will publish more info about this
soon. If you can't wait the documentation is up at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikibaseClient/Lua (To use it
on Wikipedia you will have to wait until Thursday.)
* Bugfixes
Cheers
Lydia
