I'm skipping the release this week. I'm still working on the 2016-08 English Wikipedia. I am close, but I still don't have a clean HTML dump yet. Please check again next week.
<b>Wikis</b>: I didn't finish 2016-08 English Wikipedia this week. I'm making a lot of significant changes to handle several minor issues. They primarily affect packed galleries, image maps, and certain video files (particularly .ogg ones). I should be on schedule for releasing 2016-08 English Wikipedia for next Monday's release.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Dynamic update of wiki pages</b>: I didn't do anything on this issue this week as English Wikipedia took all my time. I'll put aside time for this week.
The PC version is a major release. It fixes random "SSL peer shut down incorrectly" when downloading, "Script Error:Module Protection expiry" on many en.w pages, and some parser issues on pl.w.
The 2016-07 versions of the Polish wikis are up. You can get them through <ahref="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaDownloadCentral.html"id="xolnki_11"title="Special:XowaDownloadCentral"class="xowa-visited">Download Central</a>.

In the past week, XOWA would fail while downloading database dumps from the Wikimedia servers at <ahref="https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html</a> . After some investigation, it looks like Wikimedia is currently resetting all connections at the 17 and 47 minute mark of every hour (EX: 1:17, 1:47, 2:17, 2:47, etc.) . For more info, see <ahref="https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2016-August/001325.html"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2016-August/001325.html</a>
</p>
<p>
As the issue is still ongoing, I'm going to point XOWA to default to <ahref="http://your.org"rel="nofollow"class="external free">http://your.org</a> instead. Note that your.org is an official backup as per <ahref="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_Wikimedia_project_XML_dumps"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_Wikimedia_project_XML_dumps</a> .
</p>
<p>
If you want to change your.org to point elsewhere, do the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Go to home/wiki/Options/Import
</li>
<li>
Change "Dump servers" to the following
</li>
</ul>
<pre>
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/,
http://dumps.wikimedia.your.org/,
http://wikipedia.c3sl.ufpr.br/,
http://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/wikimedia/
</pre>
<ul>
<li>
Press "Save"

</ul>
<p>
Many thanks to Kevin Day and your.org for their assistance and support with this issue.

<p>
The 2016-07-20 version of English Wikipedia would show "Script error" on many pages. This was due to a minor typo on my side for "infinite" vs "infinity". It is fixed with of this release.

Thanks to William to reporting this issue.

<p>
Polish Wikipedia required two major changes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Location maps weren't showing due to issues with JSON parsing.
</li>
<li>
Some infoboxes were garbled because of incorrect parsing of <ref%> tags.
<b>Wikis</b>: I'm working on 2016-08 English Wikipedia now, and want to add a few fixes for this HTML dump release. Unfortunately, the new HTML generator is not ready yet, so English Wikipedia will probably take the full week.
</li>
<li>
<b>Dynamic update of wiki pages</b>: I added "wikimedia API" calls this week. I'm going to work on recursively parsing all templates for this week.requested in <ahref="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/72"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/72</a> . This will probably take a few weeks. For next week, I'm going to work on the simpler "wikimedia API" calls
</li>
<li>
<b>Redlinks for HTTP Server</b>: This has kept slipping for a few weeks. I'm going to table this for now, and come back to it later.
</li>
<li>
<b>mwad integration with the status bar</b>: I'm also tabling this as well.
The 2016-07 versions of the Arabic wikis are up. You can get them through <ahref="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaDownloadCentral.html"id="xolnki_12"title="Special:XowaDownloadCentral"class="xowa-visited">Download Central</a>.
<spanclass="mw-headline"id=".28PC.29_Fix_.22invalid_title.22_when_clicking_on_wikis_in_left-hand_nav">(PC) Fix "invalid title" when clicking on wikis in left-hand nav</span>
This was kindly reported by markusmaresch in <ahref="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/73"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/73</a> . Basically, clicking on a wiki in the left-hand sidebar would fail with "invalid title". This was due to some changes I made with the UI in a recent release.
Wikidata (www.wikidata.org), or "Wikibase", is a continually evolving project. French Wikipedia started using two new methods recently: renderSnaks and renderSnak. I added support for these calls in this release. I also cleaned up some Wikibase code.

A helpful anonymous user forwarded me a crash report for XOWA Android. Sometimes, XOWA Android would fail to restart when in the process of downloading wikis from Download Central. This was broken since the initial release of Download Central.
<b>New HTML database generator</b>: I'm still been plugging away at the HTML generator. It's closer to 99% now, and I'll start phasing it in over the next few releases.
