This week is also a push. There were more changes, especially with Russian Wikipedia, but I can't give a release my full attention until next week.
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
</p>
<p>
The 2016-11 Russian Wikis are up. I'll try to work on the 2016 Italian wikis next.

<p>
There is no release this week. I've worked on a few Page sync issues found by khanhhung2512 as well as a new application auto-updater. I may skip next week also due to the holiday season as well as some personal commitments.
</p>
<p>
In the meantime, I uploaded 2016-11 German Wikipedia as well as the Dutch and Afrikaans Wikis. I'll be working on the Russian wikis and French Wikipedia.

As it's been a few weeks since the last release, there have been several wiki releases since then.
As per the section title, 2016-11 Dutch and Russian wikis are up at archive.org.

<p>
There were a number of regression errors that have crept in over the last few releases. Namely, these are:
This issue was reported <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/98" rel="nofollow" class="external text">in issue 98</a> and <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/108" rel="nofollow" class="external text">and issue 108</a>.
</p>
<p>
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).
</p>
<p>
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.

</h3>
<p>
There were a number of minor fixes around the 2016-11 Russian wikis.
</p>
<p>
The most significant one was an issue with Wikidata and missing infobox images. For more detail, you can look at <a href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-November/010019.html" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-November/010019.html</a> . 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.
</p>
<p>
For the other changes, you can take a look at the Scribunto and Wikibase items at <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Change_log/v3.12.1.1.html" id="xolnki_17" title="Change log/v3.12.1.1">Change log/v3.12.1.1</a>

<p>
First, thanks to khanhhung2512 for reporting these issues.
</p>
<p>
XOWA had the following page sync issues:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaBookmarks.html" id="xolnki_16" title="Special:XowaBookmarks">Special:XowaBookmarks</a> was not working
Failed when downloading "File:" pages
</li>
<li>
Variant support for Chinese and Serbian languages were not working. For example: <code>-{zh-hans:computer; zh-hant:ELECTRONICBRAIN;}-</code>
Failed when downloading Chinese pages with Math
</li>
<li>
Clicking on images would not open up a simulation of a Wikimedia Commons page
</li>
<li>
The total number of pages was reported incorrectly
Always downloaded every page, instead of those listed in the Options page
</li>
</ul>
<p>
These have been fixed in this release. Thanks to khanhhung2512 and another anonymous user for reporting these issues.
These fixes are included in this release.

<p>
There were some minor Wikibase issues. The most notable of these involved time data which caused script errors on all Polish Wikipedia Software pages. The rest involved many fewer pages (&lt; 100).
</p>
<p>
To get more info on these, see <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Change_log/v3.11.2.1.html" id="xolnki_17" title="Change log/v3.11.2.1">Change log/v3.11.2.1</a> and the Wikibase entries

<p>
There were a number of minor issues with the Import/Offline page, primarily due to the Category changes in 2016-09. I made a few changes to eliminate redundant downloads as well as to intelligently detect dump files. However, I'll probably make more in the coming months when time permits.
</p>
<p>
Again, thanks go to khanhhung2512 and another anonymous user for reporting these issues.

</h2>
<p>
I'm postponing the official release to next week. There are still only a handful of issues, and unfortunately, I don't have the time this week to do a full release.
</p>
<p>
However, I am pushing out a BETA release. This is the same as a regular release, except:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
I haven't documented all the changes in the Change Log or readme.txt (so you'll only know what's included from a short list at <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases</a>)
</li>
<li>
I haven't tested the release fully (so some of the new items may not work)
</li>
<li>
I won't be able to fix any unexpected regression bugs (so if there is a new critical bug, you should just rollback to the old v3.10.4.1 build)
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you want to give it a try, get it from <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/BETA_v3.10.4.6" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/BETA_v3.10.4.6</a>
</p>
<p>
Otherwise, you can wait for the next release for next Sunday evening.
</p>
<p>
For wikis, I uploaded Swedish and Spanish. I'm going to work on 2016-11 next. See: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/95" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/95</a>
