From XOWA: the free, open-source, offline wiki application

## Release: NONE (2015-03-29 20:20 Sun)

So, I'm going to be skipping this week's release as well. The code is mostly done, but I had to rewrite a significant part last night, so I wanted to give it more time to burn in. Polish and Greek are still on hold, and they will be released after English.

At this point, the new changes will be going live for v2.4.1. It's not ideal, but I'd rather have a more stable major than a possibly unstable minor one.

## Release: NONE (2015-03-22 20:15 Sun)

I'm skipping this week's release also. I've rewritten most of the code, but I wanted another week to do some more testing. I'm also skipping Polish and Greek, as I want to start releasing databases in the new format.

I won't be skipping v2.3.5 as I'd like to introduce the new database layout in a minor release, rather than a major 2.4.1 one.

## Release: NONE (2015-03-15 20:55 Sun)

I'm skipping this week's release. I'm rewriting more of the database code to generate a single-file wiki. I'm also doing the same for files to generate a single-file database. I'm hoping this will help simplify deployment in the future - particularly for Android. The code is stable, but I want a little while longer to review the database scheme. Aside from that, I haven't run into any bugs, so there wouldn't be much point to releasing a work-in-progress.

I did post the latest English Wikipedia images at https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest I also posted Finnish wikis at https://archive.org/details/Xowa_fiwiki_latest

v2.3.4 will include the new database code. I'm also planning on updating Polish and Greek.

## Release: v2.3.2.1 (2015-03-08 20:44 Sun)

v2.3.2.1 had some minor fixes. The most major fix was Wikisource not showing full content for non-English wikis. Unfortunately this was related to some of the infrastructural changes last week.

I'm uploading the Italian wikis now, but they will probably not be ready until the morning. I'm going to hold off on Finnish until next week. I did make more progress in Android, and now have MathJax working.

v2.3.3.1 will have Finnish wikis as well as the latest English wiki update. I'm also working on a single-file XOWA database. Other than that, I'll continue ahead with Android.

## Release: v2.3.1.1 (2015-03-01 20:18 Sun)

v2.3.1.1 had no real fixes. The Dutch and Latin wikis were rebuilt without any isses, though Latin is still uploading. There were substantial infrastructural changes, though hopefully I won't run into the same release problems from last week. In addition, I finally got a very alpha version of images working on the Android.

v2.3.2.1 will have a rebuild of the Italian and Finnish wikis. I'll continue ahead on Android and try to get a more stable version.
