There's no release this week. I'm working on a category performance enhancement before starting on 2016-10 wikis.
</p>
<p>
I did create a deletion database for English Wikipedia. It will reduce the size of the images datases from 101 GB to 90 GB.

Thanks to Ope30 for catching this bug. There's also another one he caught regarding large categories. This will be fixed in a future release or by manually downloading patched databases.
