The v1.9.2 release has several minor changes for English Wiktionary and Wikisource.

I also decided to hold off on more HTML dump work, because I want to see how they perform in Android before I commit to the HTML dump format. Towards that end, I started working on the Android version this week, though so far most of the work is quite experimental.

The v1.8.2 update is larger than usual. I had to regenerate the language files because MediaWiki v1.24 added "!" as a magic word and German Wikipedia dropped Template:!. Since this was a low-level change, it forced a rebuild of all the language files. I also took the opportunity to move the language files from <code>/xowa/user/anonymous/lang/xowa/</code> to <code>/xowa/bin/any/xowa/cfg/lang/core/</code>.

I'm also going to explore an automated update option for these image databases. As most of my attention will be on enwiki this week, I'm going to skip generating wikis for other languages.

I discovered that a number of English Wikipedia pages used the {{#lsth}} function. In brief, this function includes a section from another page on the current page. For example: <a href="/site/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10s_BC">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10s_BC</a> . I ended up rewriting the lst functions to support this behavior.
