v4.1.0.1702
2017-02-05 01:13:34 +00:00
XOWA had only minimal support for images in Wikia wikis. However, as a result of tickets <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/124" rel="nofollow" class="external text">#124</a> and <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/125" rel="nofollow" class="external text">#125</a>, the following changes were made:

<b>Images in the File namespace will now show</b>: For example, <a href="https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/File:Keyboard_shortcuts.svg" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/File:Keyboard_shortcuts.svg</a> . Note that clicking on an image here will also open it up in the image viewer.
