2017-02 English Wikipedia is officially up. See <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Wiki_setup/English_wikis.html" id="xolnki_15" title="Wiki setup/English wikis" class="xowa-visited">Wiki_setup/English_wikis</a>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In addition, I reuploaded the entire English Wikipedia file database set. This is a periodic task which is necessary to keep the image databases small for new users.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Without the change, new users would need to download 110 GB of data to get a full set.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
With the change, new users would only need to download 94 GB
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Depending on if you're a new user or an existing user, you'd need to do the following:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>New user</b>: Just download the task named <code>English Wikipedia - Images: New Users (2017-02) [94.23 GB]</code>. This will give you all the images for 2016-02 English Wikipedia
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>Existing user</b>: You'll probably have to do two things
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Download the task named <code>English Wikipedia - Image Update: Existing Users (2017-02) [6.60 GB]</code>. This will give you all the images for 2017-01 and 2017-02 English Wikipedia
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you want to "shrink" your image databases and reclaim about 15 GB of space
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Download the deletion database from here: <a href="https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/en.wikipedia.org-file-deletion-2017.02.xowa" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/en.wikipedia.org-file-deletion-2017.02.xowa</a>

Also, per request, I generated 2017-02 Gujarati wikis. See <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Wiki_setup/Gujarati_wikis.html" id="xolnki_17" title="Wiki setup/Gujarati wikis" class="xowa-visited">Wiki_setup/Gujarati_wikis</a>

This build adds a <code>Delete page</code> button. To use it, do the following:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Switch to <code>Edit</code> mode
|
||||
</li>
|

<li>
|
||||
Press <code>Delete page</code>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Confirm that you want to delete the page
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note the following:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
You can delete any page from the wiki, including the Main_Page
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The page is permanently deleted. If you need to recover it, you would have to restore from a backup.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
This feature is mainly intended for personal wikis. With that said, you can also delete a page from a Wikimedia wiki (like en.wikipedia.org).

|

Scroll down to the bottom of the page. You will see a <code>Categories</code> section and <code>Test</code> listed
|

</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Navigate to <code>Category:Test</code>. You will see the page listed
|

The previous build didn't have an easy way to move a personal wiki from one machine to another. This build now has an import button. To use it, do the following:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|

Copy the personal wiki file from the first machine to the second machine

XOWA had issues with machines with different DPI settings. This resulted in one of the following:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The progress bar being clipped at the bottom of the screen. This occurred on laptops or other machines with Large Fonts enabled
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The URL bar being extremely short. This occurred on machines with High DPI settings.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Both of these are resolved with this build.

This build also has a few other notable changes:

</p>
|

<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Navigate to page using the curid argument. For example, <code>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/?curid=303</code> will navigate to the <code>Alabama</code> page
|

</li>
|

<li>
|

A new special page to easily run SQL within XOWA: <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaSql.html" id="xolnki_19" title="Special:XowaSql" class="xowa-visited">Special:XowaSql</a>. This is mainly intended for any future troubleshooting.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Changes to some default keyboard shortcuts. This requires a longer explanation:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
XOWA used Ctrl+U to restore the text in the URL bar. Note that all major browsers use escape for the same purpose.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
XOWA wasn't using escape, because escape transferred focus to the main browser.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
XOWA now uses Ctrl+M to transfer focus to the main browser
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
As such, escape now restores the text in the URL bar.
|
||||
</li>

||||
</ul>

</ul>

This change affects the XOWA source-code only. It has no direct impact on users.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Basically, XOWA's source code was offered under a more "strict" license called the AGPLv3. It is now being offered under a choice of two license:
|

</p>
|

<ul>
|
