In addition to the parser fixes above, there is a multitude of fixes detected and contributed by desb42. Most center on Scribunto and Wikibase, and results in "Script error" appearing on the page. For a full list, see the < a href = "http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Change_log/v4.6.0.1903" id = "xolnki_8" title = "Change log/v4.6.0.1903" > Change log/v4.6.0.1903< / a >

desb42 spear-headed a bunch of improvements to HTTP Server. Popups now work correctly, and Read / Edit / View HTML links also work. There are a few more changes waiting in the backlog (such as search), but the current version is more usable than before
