I'm skipping the release for tonight. There was one regression issue introduced last week: Random not working in HTML databases.

Since the start, XOWA used a date-of-release versioning scheme. For example, version 3.12.2.1 meant the version released in the 3rd year after XOWA's release, in the 12th month and the 2nd week.

This was an issue I discovered when generating the 2016-12 English Wikipedia. It takes about 25 hours to dump English Wikipedia on an 8 core machine. Due to recent changes with Embeddable (using XOWA as a MediaWiki parser), this number grew to about 36 hours. In some cases, it even failed with OutOfMemory exceptions.
