There were a handful of parsing issues with English and German Wikipedia. In brief:
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
Graph: Support v2 (some pages can only be viewable in HTTP_Server; EX: en.w:Obesity)
< / li >
< li >
Wikibase: Add isValidEntityId and getSetting
< / li >
< li >
Scribunto: Add stripNoWiki
< / li >
< li >
Scribunto: Return empty string for invalid languages
< / li >
< li >
Scribunto: Add better support for balanced pairs
< / li >

Parser: Cache ifexist calls

I've recently changed jobs and expect to be spending a bit of time adjusting. I'll continue to update English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia, though it looks like a quarterly schedule.

The schedule has still been slow recently. I've been looking at migrating XOWA to a Chrome / Node.js platform, since Mozilla / XULRunner is pretty much deprecated. As this will take several months, I think new releases will primarily be focused on fixing parsing issues as well as wiki releases.
