2017-02-05 01:13:34 +00:00
This <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaAppUpdate.html" id="xolnki_3" title="Special:XowaAppUpdate" class="xowa-visited">Special page</a> shows all pending updates.
2017-01-08: no release

</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Opening">Opening</span>
</h3>
<p>
Everytime this page is opened, it checks the XOWA site for updates: <a href="http://xowa.org/admin/app_update/xoa_update.db" rel="nofollow" class="external free">http://xowa.org/admin/app_update/xoa_update.db</a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
If updates are found, it downloads the descriptions, stores them offline, and shows it on the page
</li>
<li>
If no updates are found, it shows any offline descriptions
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Installing">Installing</span>
</h3>
<p>
If install is chosen, the following is done:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The appropriate package is chosen from from <a href="http://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/" rel="nofollow" class="external free">http://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/</a>.
<ul>
<li>
Note that XOWA will automatically choose the matching operating system package. (If you're running XOWA on GNU/Linux 64-bit it will automatically download a xowa_app_linux_64 package)
</li>
<li>
Note that the latest version will always be chosen for two reasons:
<ul>
<li>
The latest version is always the recommended version
</li>
<li>
Downgrading from a later version to an earlier version is not recommended. Downgrading will generally work, but it's not something that is ever tested.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
The package is downloaded and unzipped to C:\xowa\user\install\update
</li>
<li>
For each file in the install package:
<ul>
<li>
The corresponding old file will be deleted
</li>
<li>
The new file will be moved into the old file's place
</li>
<li>
Any old file that can't be deleted will be saved to a list
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
XOWA will then shutdown and launch a standalone update app. It will copy any old files that couldn't be deleted in the previous step
</li>
<li>
Once the standalone update app completes, it will launch XOWA
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Skipping">Skipping</span>
</h3>
<p>
This only applies to the auto-startup reminder (see the next section).
</p>
<ul>
<li>
By pressing the "Skip this update" button, the Special:XowaAppUpdate page will tempoarily stop reminding you automatically at startup.
</li>
<li>
However, once a new XOWA version is available, the Special:XowaAppUpdate page will resume launching automatically at startup.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Auto-startup_reminder">Auto-startup reminder</span>
</h2>
<p>
XOWA will check for updates every time the application starts. It does this in a two-step process:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
First, it checks online to see if any new updates have been released.
<ul>
<li>
By default, the time interval is set to 7 days. If XOWA has checked online for an update, it won't check again for another 7 days.
</li>
<li>
v4.1.0.1702
2017-02-05 01:13:34 +00:00
If you want to disable online check or change the interval, you can do so at <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaCfg%3Fgrp%3Dxowa.app.update.html" id="xolnki_4" title="Special:XowaCfg?grp=xowa.app.update" class="xowa-visited">the Options page</a>
2017-01-08: no release
2017-01-09 03:37:12 +00:00
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Next, it will check offline to see any existing updates have not been applied.
<ul>
<li>
A list of offline updates are at C:\xowa\user\install\update
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If any updates are available, it will open the Special:XowaUpdate page
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Manual_updates">Manual updates</span>
</h2>
<p>
XOWA can always be updated manually:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
You can download the latest version from <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Help/Download_XOWA.html" rel="nofollow" class="external text">XOWA's download page</a>
</li>
<li>
You can view all available versions at <a href="http://localhost/github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">XOWA's Github page</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
