There is no release this week. I've worked on a few Page sync issues found by khanhhung2512 as well as a new application auto-updater. I may skip next week also due to the holiday season as well as some personal commitments.
In the meantime, I uploaded 2016-11 German Wikipedia as well as the Dutch and Afrikaans Wikis. I'll be working on the Russian wikis and French Wikipedia.
A bare-bones listing is at <ahref="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Wiki_setup/Listing.html"id="xolnki_15"title="Wiki setup/Listing">Wiki_setup/Listing</a>.

A special thanks to Ope30 for downloading and testing all these wikis.

<spanclass="mw-headline"id=".28PC.29_Fix_regression_errors.2C_including_bookmarks.2C_variants.2C_clicking_on_images.2C_and_wrong_number_of_reported_pages">(PC) Fix regression errors, including bookmarks, variants, clicking on images, and wrong number of reported pages</span>
</h3>
<p>
There were a number of regression errors that have crept in over the last few releases. Namely, these are:
Variant support for Chinese and Serbian languages were not working. For example: <code>-{zh-hans:computer; zh-hant:ELECTRONICBRAIN;}-</code>
</li>
<li>
Clicking on images would not open up a simulation of a Wikimedia Commons page
</li>
<li>
The total number of pages was reported incorrectly
</li>
</ul>
<p>
These have been fixed in this release. Thanks to khanhhung2512 and another anonymous user for reporting these issues.

</h3>
<p>
There were some minor Wikibase issues. The most notable of these involved time data which caused script errors on all Polish Wikipedia Software pages. The rest involved many fewer pages (< 100).
To get more info on these, see <ahref="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Change_log/v3.11.2.1.html"id="xolnki_18"title="Change log/v3.11.2.1">Change log/v3.11.2.1</a> and the Wikibase entries
<spanclass="mw-headline"id=".28PC.29_Make_minor_changes_to_Import.2FOffline_page">(PC) Make minor changes to Import/Offline page</span>
</h3>
<p>
There were a number of minor issues with the Import/Offline page, primarily due to the Category changes in 2016-09. I made a few changes to eliminate redundant downloads as well as to intelligently detect dump files. However, I'll probably make more in the coming months when time permits.
</p>
<p>
Again, thanks go to khanhhung2512 and another anonymous user for reporting these issues.

<spanclass="mw-headline"id=".28Dev.29_Simplify_usage_of_XOWA_as_an_embeddable_parser">(Dev) Simplify usage of XOWA as an embeddable parser</span>
XOWA now supports usage as an embeddable parser in other apps. More information is at <ahref="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Dev/Parser/Embeddable.html"id="xolnki_19"title="Dev/Parser/Embeddable">Dev/Parser/Embeddable</a>
<b>Wikis</b>: I'm generating wikis for the 2016-11 German Wikipedia as well as 2016-11 Dutch Wikis.
</li>
<li>
<b>Light schedule</b>: The schedule will continue to be light. I'm currently working on rewriting the Options system. I'll try to add in some exploratory work on full-text search as well as improve Page Sync.
I'm postponing the official release to next week. There are still only a handful of issues, and unfortunately, I don't have the time this week to do a full release.
</p>
<p>
However, I am pushing out a BETA release. This is the same as a regular release, except:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
I haven't documented all the changes in the Change Log or readme.txt (so you'll only know what's included from a short list at <ahref="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases</a>)
</li>
<li>
I haven't tested the release fully (so some of the new items may not work)
</li>
<li>
I won't be able to fix any unexpected regression bugs (so if there is a new critical bug, you should just rollback to the old v3.10.4.1 build)
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you want to give it a try, get it from <ahref="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/BETA_v3.10.4.6"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/BETA_v3.10.4.6</a>
</p>
<p>
Otherwise, you can wait for the next release for next Sunday evening.
</p>
<p>
For wikis, I uploaded Swedish and Spanish. I'm going to work on 2016-11 next. See: <ahref="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/95"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/95</a>
