I'm skipping the release again. I had to overhaul some of the internals of the downloader which cost me a couple of days. I'm not sure if I can get it ready for next week, so it may be a June release.

I did upload the images for English Wikipedia: < a href = "https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-05-01_file_v2b.7z" rel = "nofollow" class = "external free" > https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-05-01_file_v2b.7z< / a > . I started uploading the Android html version, but ran into an issue with archive.org. You can start downloading the 2016-05 html files now: < a href = "https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest" rel = "nofollow" class = "external free" > https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest< / a > . I'll upload the rest during the week.

This week is another skipped release, as the work continues on the wiki download page. In the meantime, I'm generating 2016-May English Wikipedia and will have them uploaded this week.

I'm skipping the release this week as I'm still working on the wiki download tool. Hopefully it will make it into the beta next weekend.

The desktop app is a trivial release. It has a few minor parser fixes, primarily for English Wiktionary.

There are several minor parser fixes for English Wiktionary. The most major item is a simple implementation for {{categorytree}} which will show a link to the Category page, but not do the Javascript tree expansion.

I'm still working on the wiki update tool. My goal is to have it for Android v3.5.2. Once that is done, I'll upload the next batch of wikis after it (English / French).

Also, on a related note, the English Wikipedia dumps for 2016-04-07 are done. Many thanks to Ariel Glenn for fixing the issue: < a href = "https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2016-April/001301.html" rel = "nofollow" class = "external free" > https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2016-April/001301.html< / a > . I'm processing them now, and will try to post them this week.
