-
- Just a quick note. Due to the holiday season and personal obligations, there is no release this week. There will be a release next week with a new configuration system.

- The Android version has a minor release.
-
-
- (Android) Remove horizontal scrollbars by hiding Navigation boxes by default
-
-
- This was a change due to the feedback from a Google Play review (which has since been deleted). There's a little more documentation at https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/112
-
-
- XOWA Android would show pages which have horizontal scrollbars. They appear mostly because of what's called Navigation boxes ("navboxes") at the bottom of the page. For example, go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth#External_links and see the section called "Articles related to Earth"
-
-
- The Wikipedia Mobile App and the Wikipedia Mobile Site both hide these by default. XOWA Android used to show them by default. This was a deliberate decision on my side, because (a) I generally like to show as much content as possible and (b) I do find them useful.
-
-
- However, after the strongly worded review, I realized that there probably was considerable UI wisdom in hiding them by default. So I changed the behavior of XOWA to follow the same behavior as Wikipedia's Mobile App / site.
-
-
- However, I also left a configuration option to show them by default. To do so, the following would need to be done:
-
-
-
- Open the left side menu and do "XOWA" -> "Settings" -> "XOWA options"
-
-
- Check "Show navboxes"
-
-
- Visit a page like Earth
-
-
-
- Next release: v3.12.4
-
-
- I'm skipping next week due to personal reasons. This means that the next possible release would be Christmas weekend. I'll try to push something out then, but since may rely on a quick "beta" release.
-
-
-
- Wikis: I'm running a little behind on 2016-12 English Wikipedia. I'm hoping to have a version later this week, but there may be a few things to investigate.
-
-
- Options: I'm done with most of the core parts the Options system. I now need to work on migration, which will probably take some time.
-
-
-
- Release: v3.12.1.1 (2016-12-04 22:00 Sun)
-
-
- The PC version is a minor release. It fixes an import issue with English Wikipedia on older machines, has several Scribunto and Wikibase fixes for Russian wikis, and has some page sync issues
+ The PC version is a major release. It adds a new Option system and includes a lot of related changes.
The Android version has no release.
- (Wiki) Publish 2016-11 Dutch and Russian wikis. Also, 2016-11 German Wikipedia
+ (Wiki) Publish 2016-12 Italian and Swahili wikis. Also, 2016-12 English Wikipedia
- As per the section title, 2016-11 Dutch and Russian wikis are up at archive.org. You can check Wiki_setup/Listing or Special:XowaDownloadCentral
+ 2016-12 Italian and Swahili wikis are up at archive.org. 2016-12 English Wikipedia was also pushed out earlier this month.
- (PC) Fix "stalled" English Wikipedia import on older machines
+ (PC) Add new Options system
- This issue was reported in issue 98 and and issue 108.
+ The major change for this release was the Options system. It was a multi-week effort that overhauled various parts of the system. You can try the new Options systems at the Options page
- Due to changes in the English Wikipedia Category system, XOWA needed to import a lot more data. Unfortunately, this caused the English Wikipedia import to stall on older machines. I was unable to reproduce it on my current machine (i7 CPU on either SSD or HDD), but was able to reproduce it on my laptop (Core Duo with HDD).
-
-
- This issue was resolved by adding a new SQL index during the category import. The total time will still be noticeably longer (from 2 hours to 5 hours), but it should complete in the end.
-
-
- (PC) Fix various minor Scribunto and Wikibase errors with Russian Wikipedia including inferred datatype
-
-
- There were a number of minor fixes around the 2016-11 Russian wikis.
-
-
- The most significant one was an issue with Wikidata and missing infobox images. For more detail, you can look at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-November/010019.html . This was fixed for any Russian Wiki imported through Import Online or Import Offline. However, Russian wikis downloaded through Download Central will still be missing images, until the next time I rebuild them.
-
-
- For the other changes, you can take a look at the Scribunto and Wikibase items at Change log/v3.12.1.1
-
-
- (PC) Fix page sync issues when syncing File or Chinese pages with math
-
-
- First, thanks to khanhhung2512 for reporting these issues.
-
-
- XOWA had the following page sync issues:
+ There were a number of reasons for the change:
- Failed when downloading "File:" pages
+ Android compatible: The previous Options system was not Android compatible. It relied on Wikitext (which XOWA Android doesn't support), and had a very desktop-centric UI design (wide tabstrip; hover tooltips). The new Options system addresses these issues and uses a common codebase for both desktop and Android.
- Failed when downloading Chinese pages with Math
+ Multiple wiki support: The previous Options system used one set of options for all wikis. Individual wikis couldn't have options different from another wiki (actually, they could, but in a very indirect way). The new Options system supports multiple wikis out-of-box, though at current, it's only used for one option (variant choice in Chinese / Serbian wikis)
- Always downloaded every page, instead of those listed in the Options page
+ Technical upgrades: The previous Options system was a hodge-podge of Wikitext and XOWA-specific extensions. The new Options systems standardizes data-storage in SQLite, generates pages through one Special extension, uses a good deal of CSS to display HTML, and offers dynamic interaction via AJAX. Overall, it should be a more web-like and pleasant user-experience
- These fixes are included in this release.
+ Because the scope of the change was so sweeping, there may be a number of issues. If you run into problems, please try the following:
+
+
+
+ user_system.gfs: XOWA tries to convert existing options at /xowa/user/anonymous/app/data/cfg/user_system_cfg.gfs. If you're missing an option, you can try checking there
+
+
+ xowa_cfg_os.gfs: XOWA also stores Operating System specific options at /xowa/bin/[OS_NAME]/xowa/cfg/xowa_cfg_os.gfs. The new version now uses a different file: /xowa/user/app/cfg/os.gfs. If you've manually customized options here, you will need to reapply them
+
+
+ Missing options: A handful of options were not converted. For more detail, see Change_log
+
+
+
+ Of course, if you run into issues, please let me know at https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues I'm hoping though that this will be a pleasant, uneventful change.
- Next release: v3.12.2
+ (PC) Change versioning scheme to semantic versioning
+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ XOWA is now adopting a new versioining scheme closer to semantic versioning. Specifically:
+
+
+
+ In the previous scheme, this version would be 4.1.1.1.
+
+
+ In the new scheme, this version is 4.0.0.1701
+
+
+
+ As an overview:
+
+
+
+ The 1st number indicates a major version. For example, 4. This number won't change unless there is a drastically new change, or after there's a lot of significant changes.
+
+
+ The 2nd number indicates a minor version. For example, 0. This number will change whenever there is a new significant feature or change.
+
+
+ The 3rd number indicates a patch version. For example, 0. This number will change whenever there is a new release.
+
+
+ The 4th number indicates a system version. For example, 1701. This number is related to the release date in year / month format: 2017-01.
+
+
+
+ In terms of upgrade strategies:
+
+
+
+ If you're a casual user, you can wait on upgrading until the major version changes. When "5.0" comes out you should probably get it, as it should be significantly different than the current version. This will probably not come out for a year or more.
+
+
+ If you're an active user, you can wait on upgrading until the minor version changes: "4.1", "4.2", "4.3", etc.. Each minor release will have a new significant feature or change. These will probably come out at monthly intervals.
+
+
+ If you're a cutting-edge user, you can upgrade whenever a release is made: "4.0.1", "4.0.2", "4.0.3", etc.. Each patch release will have a number of changes and fixes. These will probably come out ever week.
+
+
+
+ Finally, all releases are considered stable. So, whenever a patch release comes out, it will be promoted to the official download for all new users. If it's safe enough for new users to try, it's definitely safe enough for existing users as well.
+
+
+ (PC) Fix mass parse performance issues when generating English Wikipedia
+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ This build brings the build time back to 25 hours.
+
+
+ Next week: v4.0.1.1701
- Wikis: I'm generating wikis for the 2016-11 Italian wikis. I'll also kick off 2016-12 English Wikipedia as well.
+ Wikis: I'm going to start preparing for the 2017-01 wikis. I'm on vacation for the 3rd and 4th weeks of 2016-01, so I'm going to focus on getting English Wikipedia and then move on to French and German
- Options: I'm almost done rewriting the Options system. I also plan to add an update feature for the desktop app. I'm still planning to do some more work on Page Sync and full-text search, though my time recently has been limited.
+ Download Central and Android: There were a number of issues brought up with Download Central and Android as described here: https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/112

- Note that relative paths display their expanded form (/xowa/bin/linux/), not their literal form (~{<>bin_plat_dir<>})

- For Linux / Mac OS X systems, the default values may not apply. Please change as necessary on your system

-
-
- If this does not work properly, please specify the app path
-
- Other content applications take one argument of ~{file} which expands to the local path for the file

+
+ These scripts will run after the application starts up. They will also run whenever you click Save on this page.
+
+
+ These scripts are intended for advanced users. They are in the format of .gfs statements (for examples, see /xowa/xowa.gfs). Please do not enter scripts unless instructed, or else XOWA may fail to start up.
+
+
+ These scripts are saved to /xowa/user/anonymous/data/cfg/user_custom_cfg.gfs. If XOWA fails to start up, simply delete the file.

- An absolute path. Note that you must enter quotes if your path has spaces. For example:
-
-
-
-
- On Linux / Mac OS X: /usr/bin/vlc
-
-
- On Windows: "C:\Program Files\VLC\vlc"
-
-
-
-
- An XOWA relative path. For example:
-
-
-
-
- On Linux / Mac OS X: ~{<>bin_plat_dir<>}vlc/vlc
-
-
- This will expand to /xowa/bin/linux/vlc/vlc
-
-
-
-
- On Windows: ~{<>bin_plat_dir<>}vlc\vlc
-
-
- This will expand to C:\xowa\bin\windows\vlc\vlc
-
-
-
-
- Note that relative paths display their expanded form (/xowa/bin/linux/), not their literal form (~{<>bin_plat_dir<>})
-
-
- i.e.: if you enter ~{<>bin_plat_dir<>} and press save, the text box will show /xowa/bin/linux/, even though the value is saved as ~{<>bin_plat_dir<>}
-
-
-
-
- A binary name, if the binary's directory is defined in your PATH
-
-
-
-
- EX: On a Windows system with a PATH including "C:\Program Files\VLC", a value of vlc is sufficient.
-
-
Note regarding default values:
-
-
- For Linux / Mac OS X systems, the default values may not apply. Please change as necessary on your system
-
-
-
-
- For Windows systems, the default path is defined as cmd and the arg is /c start "~{file}". This attempts to launch the file with the default application defined for the file.
-
-
-
-
- If this does not work properly, please specify the app path
-
- Other content applications take one argument of ~{file} which expands to the local path for the file
-
-
-
-
- EX: The image [[File:A.png]] will produce a ~{file} of /xowa/file/en.wikipedia.org/orig/7/0/1/c/A.png
-
-
-
-
- Customized arguments can be passed depending on the application
-
-
-
-
- EX: VLC takes an argument --no-loop which explicitly instructs VLC not to automatically replay the file. (Clicking on a pronunciation example would cause the short 1 second word to be repeated over and over again).
-
-
- To pass this argument, change the args to --no-loop "~{file}"

XOWA currently consolidates visits to the same page as one entry. For example, 3 visits to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth would show up only once with the date being the most recent one. The date for the previous two entries would be lost. This option retains dates for all 3 entries by logging each visit to a separate file.

- ^Although files are saved in the bin.sqlite3 database, they are also cached locally at C:\xowa\file. This is done for the following reasons:
+
+
+
+ Cache
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Minimum disk space used
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Enter a minimum size for the cache to use (in MB)
+
+
+ This is an advanced configuration tweak. When the cache reaches its maximum size, it will delete files to free space. It will continue deleting files until the minimum size is reached.
+
+
+ For example:
+
- The HTML browser must display the image: The HTML browser cannot read directly from a sqlite database. The "src" attribute must point to a file resource. (It could take a base64 encoded string, but this has its own complications)
+ If the max is set to 100 MB
- Viewer apps must be able to access the image: Similar to the above, when a file is clicked in the commons wiki, XOWA sends it to an external viewer app. These viewer apps will not be able to access files from the sqlite database or from a base64 encoded string
+ ... and the current size of all files in the cache is 99.9 MB
- Performance: Images will load more quickly if they are already on the file system (as opposed to being continually extracted from the database)
-
-
Some other details worth noting:
-
-
- The cache is stored in C:\xowa\user\user-anonymous.xowa
+ ... and a 200 KB file is added
- This value should not be set any lower than 5 MB (or else all images may not load on a page)
+ Then the cache size will be temporarily 100.1 MB
+
+
+ ... triggering the delete mechanism
+
+
+ ... which will reduce the current size of all files to 75 MB

Long version: Enter a list of commands separated by a comma. Valid commands are listed below. Note that simple.wikipedia.org is used for all examples, but the commands apply to any wiki.
-
-
- wiki.download: downloads the wiki data dump from the dump server
+ (number greater than 1): page rank will be calculated until it is finished or maximum number of interations are reached. For more info, see Help/Features/Search/Build
-
-
- A file will be generated in "/xowa/wiki/simple.wikipedia.org/simplewiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2"
-
-
-
-
- wiki.unzip: unzips an xml file from the wiki data dump
-
-
-
-
- A file will be created for "/xowa/wiki/simple.wikipedia.org/simplewiki-latest-pages-articles.xml" (assuming the corresponding .xml.bz2 exists)
-
-
- If this step is omitted, then XOWA will read directly from the .bz2 file. Although this will use less space (no .xml file to unzip), it will be significantly slower. Also, due to a program limitation, the progress percentage will not be accurate. It may hover at 99.99% for several minutes
-
-
-
-
- wiki.import: imports the xml file
-
-
-
-
- A wiki will be imported from "/xowa/wiki/simple.wikipedia.org/simplewiki-latest-pages-articles.xml"
-
- This is the default. Note that this will be the fastest to set up, but will take more space. For example, English Wikipedia will set up in 5 hours and require at least 45 GB of temp space
-
-
-
-
- wiki.download,wiki.import AKA: smallest
-
-
-

-
- ^ abcEnter a number in MB to represent the cutoff for generating sets of page databases as one file or many files (default is 1500)
- XOWA generates three types of page databases:
-
-
- text: These are Wikitext databases and have entries like ''italics''. They have -text- in their file name.
-
-
- html: These the html-dump databases and have entries like <i>italics</i>. They have -html- in their file name
-
-
- file: These are image databases which have the raw binary images. They have -file- in their file name
-
-
- Different wikis will have different numbers of databases for a given set.
-
-
- For small wikis, XOWA generates one database for the entire wiki. For example, Simple Wikipedia will just have "simple.wikipedia.org-text.xowa". This way is preferred as it is simpler.
-
-
- For large wikis, XOWA generates many databases for the entire wiki. For example, English Wikipedia will have "en.wikipedia.org-text-ns.000.xowa", "en.wikipedia.org-text-ns.000-db.002.xowa", etc. This way is necessary, because some file-systems don't support large databases. For example, creating an "en.wikipedia.org-text.xowa" file will generate a 20 GB file. This 20 GB file will generally fail on flash drives (FAT32), as well as Android (SQLite library allows 2 GB max)
-
-
- These options can force XOWA to generate a wiki using either one database (Simple Wikipedia style) or many databases (English Wikipedia style). It does this by using a cutoff for the XML database dump
- For example, 1500 means that a wiki with a dump file size of 1.5 GB or less will generate a single file. Any wiki with a dump file size larger than 1.5 GB will generate multiple files.
-
-
- If you always want to generate a set with only one file, set the value to a large number like 999,999 (999 GB)
-
-
- If you always want to generate a set with multiple files, set the value to 0.
-
-
- Otherwise, set the value to a cutoff. Wikis below that cutoff will be "single file"; wikis above it will be "multiple files"

- The following is a simplified example:
-
- Once it finds a header, it checks if it is greater than stop-hdr
+ Each rule has three parts
- ==06== is found, but it is less than 8. The parser continues.
+ Wiki domain: Wiki which will be affected by rule
- ==10== is found, and it is greater than 8. The parser stops there and returns 01 02 03 04 05 ==06== 07 08 09
-
-
-
-
Note the following variations:
-
-
- If stop-hdr was set to 1, then it would have stopped at ==06== and returned 01 02 03 04 05
-
-
- If stop-hdr was set to 14, then it would have returned the entire text: 01 02 03 04 05 ==06== 07 08 09 ==10== 11 12 13 14 15 16

- ^Number of milliseconds to wait before showing popup (default is 600)
-
-
-
- A higher number prevents accidental hovers over links while moving the mouse / scrolling the page
-
-
- A lower number allows faster popup display
-
-
Note that popup data will only be retrieved after the popup starts showing. For example:
-
-
- If the show delay is set to 2 seconds
-
-
- and a popup takes 1 second to retrieve the html
-
-
- then the total time till the popup is visible is 3 seconds, not 2 (2 seconds to wait before showing + 1 second to retrieve data)
-
-
-
-
- ^Number of milliseconds to wait before hiding popup (default is 600)
-
-
-
- A higher number allows the popup to linger longer on the screen before disappearing.
-
-
- A lower number hides the popup faster
-
-
-
-
- ^Maximum width of popup in pixels (default is -1)

-
-
-
- -1 indicates no maximum height
-
-
-
-
- ^Maximum width of popup in pixels when show all is clicked (default is -1) (recommended is 800)
- This option was added because:
-
-
- The normal popup window is generally smaller (500 pixels)
-
-
- Show all often returns a lot of article text which looks constrained within a 500 pixel window
-
-
- A "Show all" maxiumum width allows for automatic switching to a wider window for the larger article content
-
-
Note that -1 indicates no maximum width, which defaults to about 500 pixels
-
-
- ^Shows popup when link receives focus (tabbed into) (default is false)
- This option allows keyboard users to use popups whenever a link is focused. Specifically:
-
-
- A link can be focused by pressing tab on the keyboard until a dotted focus box surrounds the desired link.
-
-
- A link can be focused by finding and then selecting:
-
-
- Find a word on the page. For example, press Ctrl + F and type "r i b". This will highlight the Scribunto link
-
-
- Press Ctrl + G and then Ctrl + G again. This will focus the Scribunto link and show the popup for it.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- ^Maximum length of template token (in bytes) to evaluate (default is 8192)

- Fast but sometimes inaccurate: For slow machines or wikis that use templates heavily, decrease the number. Note that setting the number to 0 means "never evaluate templates". If popups are slow, try setting the number to 0, and see if the results are satisfactory.
-
-
- Slow but always accurate: For fast machines or wikis that do not use templates heavily, increase the number. Note that setting the number to 2,147,483,647 means "always evaluate templates". You can also use "-1" as a shortcut for "2,147,483,647". If popups have garbled text or are missing words, try setting the number to -1.
-
-
-
- A more detailed explanation follows:
-
-
-
- Templates are wikitext of the form {{Name|Arg_1|Arg_2|...}}. They are used throughout a wiki to perform functions ranging from unit conversion (like converting kilometers to miles), or generating large pieces of HTML (like rendering entire InfoBoxes). However, these templates are the "slowest" pieces of wikitext to parse, particularly if they call other templates or Scribunto
-
-
- Ideally, popups should skip templates that produce structural html (like infoboxes), while still trying to render templates that do smaller functions (like converting units). This option attempts a heuristic that says "if the template is long, assume it's an infobox and should be skipped". It counts the total number of bytes in a template, and skips it if it's greater than the max. For example, {{Name|Arg_1}} has a length of 10, and will be skipped if the max length is set to 8. If the max length is set to 16, then the template won't be skipped.
-
-
- This option is imperfect, but should work well enough on most cases. Note that Navigation Popups does something similar by skipping template text, but without any configuration. (always set to 0).
-
-
-
- ^Specifies templates to be shown in popup (default is see below)
- This is a performance optimization for English Wikipedia. It only evaluates listed templates.
- The format is as follows
-
-
- Each rule is in a separate line
-
-
- Each rule has three parts
-
-
- Wiki domain: Wiki which will be affected by rule
-
-
- Keep-names: Names of templates which will be shown in popup. Note that these names:

- Name at end: For example, "*name" will match anything ending with "name" such as "Fullname"
+ Name at end: For example, "*name" will match anything ending with "name" such as "Fullname"
- Unless-names: Names of templates which should not be included, even if the keep-name is matched. For example, en.wikipedia.org|name*|name_to_always_skip will match any template that starts with "name" unless the template is named "name_to_always_skip". Note that unless-names have the same rules as keep-names (semi-colon separator; wildcards)

- Backup your xowa_user_cfg.gfs: /xowa/user/anonymous/app/data/cfg/xowa_user_cfg.gfs
-
-
- Edit this page
-
-
- Find the commented table rows / cells and uncomment them

-
+ Listed ids are case-insensitive if ASCII, but case-sensitive otherwise. There is no difference between coordinates and Coordinates. There is a difference between é and É
-
- When you're done, you should restore your original copy of xowa_user_cfg.gfs. If you don't restore your copy, you will end up keeping your custom change, and will never pick up any future fixes / changes to the format.

-
-
- XOWA uses JavaScript for certain functionality such as MathJax, sortable, collapsible, and reference tooltips. Unfortunately, JavaScript can also be a vector of attack. Although XOWA scrubs pages to eliminate embedded JavaScript, it is possible for malicious JavaScript to be injected into a Wiki page that evades XOWA's code. For those concerned about security, the safest approach would be to disable JavaScript entirely.

Wiki setup/Italian wikis
+
+
From XOWA: the free, open-source, offline wiki application
+
+
+
+
+ Overview
+
+
+ This page describes how to set up Italian wikis on your machine. The following two options are available:
+
+
+ Download pre-built wikis from archive.org
+
+
+
+ Faster: The build process is skipped completely. All you have to do is download the wikis
+
+
+ Simpler: The wikis are pre-compiled HTML, so you don't have to set-up Wikidata or other pre-requisites. Since the wiki is just being downloaded, not built, there are less things that can go wrong
+
+
+ Less recent: The wikis need to be manually generated and uploaded by me. If you find that the wikis below are out of date, you can create an issue at github.org or try building them yourself.
+
+
+
+ Build wikis using the database dumps at wikimedia.org
+
+
+
+ Slower: It takes an extra few hours to build the wiki
+
+
+ Slightly harder: These wikis work best with Wikidata on your machine. See App/Wiki types/Wikidata. In additon, the build process may not work on certain low-end machines like Raspberry Pi
