<p>
I'm skipping a release again this week. I'm aiming to do a maintenance release next week for v2.1.1 but I don't have any major changes planned.
</p>

<p>
I uploaded Polish and English Wikipedia images tonight. I'll update the image database pages later.

</h2>
<p>
My apologies, but I'm skipping the release for this week. I'll resume next week with an update for Polish and English Wikipedia images.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.12.2_.282014-12-07_21:17_Sun.29">Release: v1.12.2 (2014-12-07 21:17 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v1.12.2 was another quick release. I generated images for the Arabic wikis.
</p>
<p>
v1.12.3 will continue the same trend. I'm going to do a refresh of the Polish wikis, but have nothing else planned.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.12.1_.282014-11-30_22:25_Sun.29">Release: v1.12.1 (2014-11-30 22:25 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v1.12.1 was another simple release. I generated images for 2014-11-24 French Wikipedia and fixed a few parser bugs.
</p>
<p>
v1.12.2 will probably continue with short releases. I'm still working on a simple Android alpha for Simple Wikipedia.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.11.4_.282014-11-23_22:07_Sun.29">Release: v1.11.4 (2014-11-23 22:07 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v1.11.4 was yet another short release. I generated images for 2014-11-06 English Wikipedia, but did little else.
</p>
<p>
v1.12.1 will continue the trend of short releases. I'll start working on some alpha HTML dumps for Simple Wikipedia / English Wikisource.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.11.3_.282014-11-16_22:12_Sun.29">Release: v1.11.3 (2014-11-16 22:12 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v1.11.3 was another short release. I made a run through 2014-11-06 English Wikipedia, and it appears mostly okay, though there was one issue related to unclosed &lt;imageMap&gt; and Canadian pages. Aside from a few issues releated to &lt;indicators&gt; and one Scribunto badges issue affecting frwiki, I did nothing else.
</p>
<p>
v1.11.4 will probably be another short release. I'll generate an update for English Wikipedia, but it's unlikely that there will be anything more.
</p>

</h2>
<p>
v1.11.2 was also a short release. I've not had much time this week, and this may continue for a while. I did manage to work on Schnark's tickets, and did manage to generate an update for German wiki. In addition, I went through the last of the 50,000 wikis including Latvian, Nynorsk and Cebuano. As of now, all wikis lists as 50,000+ articles now have XOWA packages within the last 6 months. This also includes all the sister wikis as well (wiktionary, wikisource, etc)
</p>
<p>
v1.11.3 will still be a short release. I'm going to try to generate an update for English Wikipedia, but that may slip till next week. In addition, I'll work on a Latin update.
</p>

</h2>
<p>
v1.11.1 was an abbreviated release. I had some personal affairs that took up much of most of the week. I started working on the German Wiki image update, but didn't have the time to complete it. I added a few minor bug fixes, but that was it.
</p>
<p>
v1.11.2 should see a German Wiki image update. Unfortunately, personal matters may also keep me from making progress this week also. I'm hoping to get further in Android, but it looks like the timetable may slip.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.10.4_.282014-10-26_21:33_Sun.29">Release: v1.10.4 (2014-10-26 21:33 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v1.10.4 had a number of fixes for Russian Wikipedia -- nearly all of which involved Scribunto and Wikidata. I continued on Android and have a fairly workable prototype. I've also started rewriting the Android database serialization to be more compressible. This is going to be a somewhat time-consuming task, but I'm hoping to be able to generate an entire HTML text dump of English Wikipedia in 25 GB. (contrast that with the current Wikitext dump of 19 GB)
</p>
<p>
For v1.11.1, I'm going to keep it light. I'm planning on doing a German update and a new Latvian package. In the meantime, I'm going to continue working on database format / compression.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Android:_Initial_overview_.282014-10-26_18:12_Sun.29">Android: Initial overview (2014-10-26 18:12 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
I thought it would be worthwhile to give a general overview, so that some expectations can be set.
</p>
<p>
XOWA will initially support Android 2.x (Eclair) and up. It won't support Alpha (1.0) Beta (1.1), Cupcake (1.5) or Donut (1.6). The limitation occurs because XOWA will be using <a href="http://actionbarsherlock.com/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">the ActionBar Sherlock GUI library</a> and it only supports 2.x+. If XOWA needs to support a pre 2.x version, I think it might be possible in a future release, but it won't be part of the initial release.
</p>
<p>
I'm planning three phases of release.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
2014-12-01: Simple Wikipedia. This will include an XOWA prototype and a 2.2 GB database of text and images. I'm delaying this a month, because I want the database format to be reasonably final.
</li>
<li>
2015-01-05: English Wikipedia. This will include an XOWA beta and a 25 GB text-only database.
</li>
<li>
2015-02-03: Google play store. This will be the final version of the XOWA beta with a "full" version of English Wikipedia that will fit within a 64 GB microSD card. In addition, I'll have a German Wikipedia available as well, with other versions to follow soon afterwards.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you have an Android device, I'd really appreciate it if you do some beta testing for the first two phases. In particular, I'd like feedback on how XOWA works on your device in terms of the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Speed: Does XOWA retrieve pages fairly quickly? I have a Samsung Galaxy 2.2 phone, so I think I have the lower end of the spectrum covered, but I'd like to have feedback on as many different devices as possible.
</li>
<li>
Display: Does XOWA look fine at your screen resolution? How about portrait vs landscape?
</li>
<li>
Other issues: Android and its multiple frameworks can be challenging, so I'm sure there will be issues that will arise on certain devices.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Finally, XOWA will be using a new database html dump format. Android is too slow to compile wikitext, especially when you throw in Luaj and Jtidy (some pages would take 2+ minutes on my phone). The advantage of the new format is that it will be much faster (less than 2 seconds for any page). Unfortunately, the disadvantages are several:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
New databases will have to be built. I'm working on a script file to compile the existing wikitext databases to html databases, but in the beginning, I'll probably be providing these html databases separately.
</li>
<li>
Wikitext won't be available. There will be an option to combine a wikitext database and an html database, but the resulting file will probably be 50 GB (without even the images).
</li>
<li>
I have to rewrite parts of XOWA to handle an "html-only" version. I've been doing this for the past few months, but will need to do more over the next two.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
I'll set up a thread later in the XOWA forum to get more feedback.
</p>

<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.10.3_.282014-10-19_22:31_Sun.29">Release: v1.10.3 (2014-10-19 22:31 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v1.10.3 was a straightforward release. Most of this had to do with 2014-10-03 English Wikipedia dump being relatively uneventful (unlike the last few monthly dumps). Vietnamese and Lithuanian were also straightforward, though a few pages in Vietnamese Wikisource forced a rewrite of the XOWA poem parser. In addition, due to the similarity of the <code>lt</code> and <code>li</code> language codes, I ended up doing Limburgish by mistake. However, it was small enough to upload anyway. In the meantime, I plugged away at the Android app, and have a bare-bones prototype for Simple Wikipedia.
</p>
<p>
For v1.10.4, I'm going to go out of order and do a Russian rebuild. Russian Wikipedia tends to use Scribunto a lot, and I'd just like another check that XOWA's Scribunto rendition is still working well. I'll add Estonian and maybe Latvian. Otherwise, I'll work on some database optimizations for the Android app.

v1.10.2 includes some major changes to the javascript file layout. This should not be noticeable to most users, but for any one interested in the details, you can review <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/tickets/354/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">this ticket</a>. Aside from that, I worked a bit on Android and have a primitive alpha for Simple Wikipedia.
</p>
<p>
For v1.10.3, I'm going to do an English image update. I'll continue on the Android app, and should be getting closer to a workable prototype. For wikis, I'll be working on Vietnamese (update) and Lithuanian (new).

</h2>
<p>
For v1.10.1, I spent a lot of time on the wikidata.js replacement. I decided to reproduce the current look and feel for the Wikidata site. I think the final results are <a href="http://xowa.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html#Wikidata" rel="nofollow" class="external text">pretty good</a>.

<p>
For v1.10.2, I'm going to go back to Android. For wikis, I'll be working on Norweigian (update) and Galician (new).

</h2>
<p>
v1.9.5 was mostly involved with a small number of minor parser fixes. Otherwise, English Wikipedia looked good (I reviewed over 100 pages) while Waray-Waray was much smaller than I expected. In addition, I worked on wikidata.js, but decided to incorporate this functionality directly in XOWA's Java code. (For more information, see below). I didn't finish the wikidata.js replacement for this release, but it should be done for v1.10.1. Otherwise, I worked a little on some XOWA Android experimentation.
</p>
<p>
For v1.10.1, I'm going to finish up the wikidata.js replacement. In addition, I'll start working on an Android prototype for Simple Wikipedia. For wikis, I'm planning to work on Thai (update) and Slovenian (new).

</h2>
<p>
First, as background, the Wikidata.js file was developed by <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Schnark" rel="nofollow" class="external text">Schnark</a> as a way to view Wikidata pages within XOWA. You can see a screenshot <a href="http://xowa.sourceforge.net/wiki/file_screenshot_wikidata.png" rel="nofollow" class="external text">here</a>. As with all of Schnark's contributions, it was a well-developed piece of code that has performed its task perfectly for over a year and a half.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, the latest changes to the <a href="https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20140912/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">Wikidata scheme</a> don't work with Wikidata.js. The Wikibase team introduced a new JSON schema that is different than the old model. The structure is basically the same, but the json paths are different.
</p>
<p>
I started working on upgrading it, but decided against it for the following reasons:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
I'd be reproducing the two-version logic (v1 / v2) that I wrote in XOWA within Wikidata.js. Although this isn't a lot of code, I didn't like the idea of writing the same logic again. I also fear a time when the WMF introduces a v3, and the same thing needs to be done again.
</li>
<li>
SWT sometimes crashes while running the script. I don't know what is the underlying cause, but it seems to be the rapid-fire exchange of Javascript callbacks to resolve Property names. Unfortunately, these crashes are hard to reproduce, but they'll generally occur after viewing 20 or so pages. I've tried to patch this in the past, but was not able to. I think this would require a change in both Wikidata.js and XOWA to batch lookups (and it may still not work)
</li>
<li>
Performance would be quicker if I handled it directly with Java, rather than make calls back and forth between Java and Javascript.
</li>
<li>
A Java version would allow me to make offline HTML dumps. It would also allow me to run tests across every Wikidata page.
</li>
<li>
Popups don't work with it. This is a minor item, but one that I thought worth mentioning.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
So, after much internal debating, I decided to make the v2 version for Wikidata within XOWA's Java code. I'm still going to leave the v1 infrastructure in place. If anyone wants to upgrade it to v2, they can do so, though I'm hoping the new version should perform well enough.
</p>

</h2>
<p>
Most of my time for the v1.9.4 release was spent on wikidata. As mentioned earlier, the latest wikidata dump introduced a brand new schema. More interestingly, the dump had articles in both the old schema (Q933) and the new schema (Q2). I had to rewrite a good deal of XOWA"s wikidata parser to handle two schemas, as well as implement the new schema. This took up most of my time for the v1.9.4 release, and I'm still not really done.
</p>
<p>
In addition, I took a peek at the 2014-09-03 enwiki dump, and corrected two widespread "Script error" issues. The rest of the dump seems fine, but I'll get a better sense when I generate the image update later this week.
</p>
<p>
For v1.9.5, I'm going to focus on finishing up wikidata issues. Primarily, the wikidata.js page doesn't work for the new schema (navigating to Q2 will show a lot of errors). I'm also going to try to add better qualifier / reference support. In addition, there will probably be a handful of minor English Wiki issues that will take some time. Aside from English Wiki, I'll try to do the Waray-Waray wikis, but that may end up spilling over to the following week.
</p>

</h2>
<p>
The v1.9.3 release has a handful of minor changes for the Simple wikis. I spent more time on Android development, and got an experimental dump working. However, it's still going to be a few weeks before I get any sort of alpha ready.
</p>
<p>
Also, it looks like archive.org is slow again. I uploaded Hungarian this morning, but Esperanto, Simple and Species will probably not be done until sometime tomorrow.
</p>
<p>
v1.9.4 will continue along with Android. For wikis, I'm going to do Portuguese (rebuild) and Slovak (new).

</h2>
<p>
The v1.9.2 release has several minor changes for English Wiktionary and Wikisource. Some were quite time-consuming, including <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Module_talk:yue-pron" rel="nofollow" class="external text">one Luaj issue with .pairs()</a>. 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.
</p>
<p>
v1.9.3 will involve more Android work along with HTML dumps. For wikis, I'm going to do Hungarian (rebuild) and Esperanto (new).

</h2>
<p>
The v1.9.1 release has some significant changes for the Chinese wikis, particularly Chinese Wikipedia and Wiktionary. Otherwise, most of the work went into more changes for the HTML dumps. At this point, I'm hoping that the main XOWA program is stable enough, and that any other major changes can wait until after an Android version.
</p>
<p>
v1.9.2 will still involve more HTML dump work. I'm also going to try to get a prototype going in Android, and make sure that the HTML dump approach works as planned. For wikis, I'm going to do English sister wikis (Wiktionary, Wikisource, etc.) and <s>Hungarian</s> Croatian (new).
</p>

</h2>
<p>
The v1.8.4 release has a handful of changes for English Wikipedia. Some of these were quite <i>interesting</i> (particularly the railway maps and the automatic-new-line-if-needed), though fortunately none of these should be major. Otherwise, I spent more time on the HTML dumps. It's taking longer than I expected, but I should definitely have something ready for a v1.9.* release.
</p>
<p>
Also, it's worth noting that I did some clean up the XOWA pages at archive.org for enwiki, dewiki, frwiki and plwiki. Specifically, I did the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Deleted old files and left a link to the latest version. For example, <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest</a>
</li>
<li>
Provided more info on wikis / downloads at the Xowa_**wiki_latest links.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
This may still change in the next few weeks, but I'm hoping the new url should be easier to remember (Xowa_(language_code)wiki_latest) and clearer to use. Also, a big thank you to Anselm who has been very helpful with feedback.
</p>
<p>
As for the next release, v1.9.1 is a monthly milestone, so I plan to keep changes to a minimal. I'll probably spend most of my time on HTML dumps and hope to have a workable prototype. For wikis, I'm going to do Chinese (rebuild) and Serbo-Croatian (new).
</p>

</h2>
<p>
The v1.8.3 release is mostly about minor changes for the French and Polish wikis. In addition, there is a handful of fixes for the 2014-08-11 English wiki (which looks good so far). The SWT upgrade got put on hold as I ran into an issue on a Linux 32 bit box, and decided it wasn't worth the risk to upgrade any of the other platforms. (though it looks like a Linux only issue: SWT 4.4 requires GTK 3). Aside from that, I spent most of the week on the HTML dumps.
</p>
<p>
For v1.8.4, I'm going to continue with the HTML dumps. I'm hoping to have a beta feature ready within the next few releases. Other than that, I'm going to release the images for 2014-08-11 English wiki and probably do Arabic.
</p>

</h2>
<p>
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 also did the same for <code>/xowa/user/anonymous/wiki/#cfg/</code> to <code>/xowa/bin/any/xowa/cfg/wiki/core/</code>
</p>
<p>
In addition, I also worked on a number of performance enhancements for pages with heavy Scribunto usage. The worst is <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/water" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/water</a> . On XOWA this used to take 1.5 GB of memory and 50 seconds. Now it takes 200 MB of memory and 35 seconds. This is still bloated, but keep in mind the offical site takes about 20-25 seconds<sup id="cite_ref-water_0-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-water-0">[1]</a></sup>. Also, this heavy Scribunto usage only affects a small number of pages (and mostly on en.wiktionary). I'll try to add some more incremental improvements over the next few releases, but ultimately this may have to be resolved by offline HTML dumps.
</p>
<p>
Finally, I'm trying to upload the German wikis now, but the upload speed is horrendous and at 33 GB, it'll take several days. I had the same problem last Sunday, though this time it's much worse. If this doesn't resolve by tomorrow, I'll contact archive.org for help, but in the meantime, German wikis will be late.
</p>
<p>
For v1.8.3, I'm going to upgrade to the latest version of SWT for Windows and Linux. I may wait on Mac OS X, as I don't have a system I can test (if there are any Mac OS X users who want to try a beta build, please contact me by email or <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/discussion/general/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">by forum</a>). I'm also going to continue on the offline HTML dumps. For wikis, I'd like to do rebuilds of French and Polish, but if these upload problems persist, I may settle for Serbocroatian / Croatian instead.

<p>
v1.8.1 was a light release with some minor UI fixes. This included the new collapsible wikidata div, as well as some code to handle a bread crumb trail for leaf pages. Japanese and Bulgarian wikis were straightforward, though due to some archive.org issues, it looks like the uploads won't be ready until sometime tomorrow.
</p>
<p>
For v1.8.2, I'm going to continue working on the HTML dumps. It'll probably be a few weeks before I have anything to show, but when I'm done, it should be the basis for the Android app. For wikis, I'm planning to do a rebuild of German and generate new images for Danish.

</h2>
<p>
v1.7.4 was mostly about the ImageMap extension. It took quite a bit of time, but I think the end result was worthwhile -- particularly with Popups. You can check the urls listed in the Change Log. I also added some "popup-at-anchor" functionality, though this will be limited until XOWA starts generating full html pages. In addition, there were some more Scribunto changes -- this time with Wikibase. I added a few minor UI changes in order to make "startup-from-previous-session" the default. I also went through the Ukrainian and Greek wikis. Finally, I uploaded the "slimmer" English Wikipedia set. You can check it out at <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external text">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest</a>.
</p>
<p>
On another note, I tabled XUL Runner until v1.8.*. I'm mostly stopped by this <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=429739" rel="nofollow" class="external text">SWT issue</a>. I can work around it, but it's not that clean, and I'd rather hope they can fix it.
</p>
<p>
For v1.8.1, I'm going to try to keep it simple. I'll work on some general performance enhancements and revise some of the documentation. For wikis, I've decided to continue on with the rest of the 50,000+ wikis. Bulgarian will be next, and Japanese will be paired with it.

</h2>
<p>
v1.7.3 had more follow-up Scribunto changes. These affected only a handful of pages (less than 50 out of 4.5 million). I think I'm done with the latest Scribunto changes, and hopefully the next changes won't be as traumatic. In addition there were two notable fixes: missing references due to lower-alpha, and excessive ampersands on some math pages. I added a few UI options, including the set-startup-page option. Hebrew wasn't as difficult as I expected, though it still involved a few changes.
</p>
<p>
English Wikipedia files was more challenging as the recent Scribunto changes increased the build time by a half day. However, I did manage to come up with a script to reduce the image database size from 91 GB to 68 GB. I'll be uploading the new set throughout the coming week. The url will probably be <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest</a> but you should check <a href="https://archive.org/search.php?query=xowa" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/search.php?query=xowa</a> .
</p>
<p>
For those users who have been keeping up to date with English Wikipedia, you can do any of the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
If space isn't an issue, just download the latest set: <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_2014-07-07_images_update" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_2014-07-07_images_update</a>
</li>
<li>
If space is an issue:
<ul>
<li>
If bandwidth is not an issue, redownload the new set and delete the old one. This will probably be easier than the next option
</li>
<li>
If bandwidth is an issue, run an XOWA build command on your existing set. I'll include instructions in the Xowa_enwiki_latest url. Note that this is the same script I will have used to generate the new set. The scripts will be &lt; 1 MB. However, they will take 6 or 7 hours to run and requires the use of the command-line.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
For v1.7.4, I'm going to try to release a fully functional ImageMap extension. I'm hoping this will be useful now that <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/App/Xtn/Html/Popups.html" id="xolnki_2" title="App/Xtn/Html/Popups" class="xowa-visited">App/Xtn/Html/Popups</a> is in place. I'm also going to try to do XULRunner 24, though if I run into issues, I may defer this till a v1.8 build. For wikis, I'm going to skip over Japanese and do Ukranian as the latter uses Scribunto heavily. I'll probably do Greek as well.

</h2>
<p>
v1.7.2 was quite a release. I downloaded the latest enwiki, and found a whole host of issues due to recent changes in Scribunto. As a result, there were <b>a lot</b> of changes to XOWA's Scribunto for this release. Hopefully I've caught all the major issues. In addition, I started working on XULRunner 24, but was diverted to some memory performance issues. Also worth mentioning is an important item for certain non-English wikis: case-insensitive UTF-8 lookups. The latter was especially time-consuming for a language like Turkish, which has asymmetric casings: <code>İ</code> lowercases to <code>i</code> but <code>i</code> uppercases to <code>I</code>. Fortunately, in comparison to the above, Swedish and Malay were easy to do.
</p>
<p>
For v1.7.3, I still need to do some additional cleanup in the wake of all the Scribunto changes from last week. In addition, I'm going to do another images update, and hopefully I'll be able to do a smaller English Wikipedia images dump size. For wikis, I'm going to try to do Hebrew, but that may spill over to the following week (I'm always nervous with RTL wikis).

</h2>
<p>
Another administrative note. I decided to clean up the download area last night: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/xowa/files/" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://sourceforge.net/projects/xowa/files/</a> There were a lot of old releases dating back to 0.3.0, with a few gaps inbetween. I've wanted to do it for quite a while, but I never like deleting files.
</p>
<p>
For those who are curious, I don't retain full historical sets of XOWA for two reasons:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
XOWA's release set is quite large. Currently XOWA weighs in at 345 MB. As I'm using Sourceforge's site for free, I feel it would be in bad faith to use more than necessary.
</li>
<li>
XOWA evolves fairly rapidly, and the latest version is generally the best. There's really no reason to use an old version, especially as there may be issues which may have been resolved in the current one.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
For now, I'm planning to use the following approach for release files:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
There will be a full set of files (app + upgrade + source) for the last major / stable version. This is generally the .1 version, as in 1.7.1.
<ul>
<li>
This will be for users who just want the latest major version, which should be the most stable.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
There will be a month's worth of (upgrade + source) set of files. These sets vary in size, but usually are no more than 50 MB.
<ul>
<li>
This will be for the rare situation wherein a user wants to rollback to an earlier version. There's really no reason to do so, as if there's a regression bug, I will fix it immediately. However, it's a simple safety net to provide.
</li>
</ul>
</li>

For anyone who wants to review older versions of the source code, I've been posting on Wikimedia's Gerrit since 2013-08: <a href="https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:xowa+branch:master,n,z" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:xowa+branch:master,n,z</a> I've recently started dual-posting to GitHub as well: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa</a>

<p>
Finally, if anyone wants a full historical release set (for example, 1.1.1), feel free to drop me an email. I'll post a copy temporarily to my Google drive account. Note that all hashes for the release sets are in <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/xowa/files/support/" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://sourceforge.net/projects/xowa/files/support/</a> so you can cross-check the copy if you don't trust me. :)

</h2>
<p>
v1.7.1 was more interesting than I expected. The Russian wikis had the expected Scribunto issue, but Serbian had a whole host of issues related to <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_systems" rel="nofollow" class="external text">variants</a>. I added a good deal of basic support, though I'm sure there are still some items missing. If any Serbian users can report any actual errors in articles, I'd greatly appreciate it.
</p>
<p>
I also added the last of the Popup changes in preparation for it becoming the default. The most notable changes are performance enhancements for English Wikipedia and a Popup History.
</p>
<p>
For v1.7.2, I'm planning to makes some more non-English wiki related changes, thanks to some of the Russian wiki changes from last week (particularly, case-insensitive lookups for UTF-8 characters). I'm going to look at upgrading XOWA from XUL Runner 10 to 24, now that SWT 4.4 is officially relesed. I'm also going to try again to look at English Wikipedia images dump size. There'll probably be some GUI changes as well. For wikis, I'm going to do Malay and Swedish.
</p>

<span class="mw-headline" id="A_change_to_the_url_format_for_archive.org_links_.282014-07-03_23:34_Thu.29">A change to the url format for archive.org links (2014-07-03 23:34 Thu)</span>
</h2>
<p>
A note on a minor bookkeeping change. Starting on 2014-06-22 and with the <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_labundle_latest_including_wikipedia" rel="nofollow" class="external text">Latin wikis</a>, I've removed the date based component from the url. So, with the example of the Latin wikis, the previous format was Xowa_labundle_<code>2014-06-23</code>_including_wikipedia, whereas the current format is Xowa_labundle_<code>latest</code>_including_wikipedia.
</p>
<p>
I made this change to reduce XOWA's disk-based footprint. In particular, I only want to keep one current version of a given wiki (latest), not multiple versions (2014-02-02, 2014-06-23, 2014-10-01, etc.). The multiple copies in the second approach just felt like it needlessly consumed disk space, even considering archive.org's mission to provide snapshots of the web. When the next update for Latin comes around, I'll just delete the files at Xowa_labundle_latest_including_wikipedia and upload a new version.
</p>
<p>
This new url format should make it easier for users to remember. Also, it takes care of another administrative task related to publishing the urls.
</p>
<p>
Hopefully I won't run into any issues with this approach. If I do, I'll just go back to the date-based urls.
</p>

<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.6.5_.282014-06-29_22:04_Sun.29">Release: v1.6.5 (2014-06-29 22:04 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v1.6.5 was mostly minor parser fixes for English Wikipedia. I also included a few minor changes to the Popups, thanks to feedback from <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/discussion/general/thread/76435e38/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">Schnark</a>
</p>
<p>
v1.7.1 will be a stable release, so I'm going to try to keep changes to a minimum. I'm planning to work on some performance enhancements to popups, in preparation for making it the default in v1.7.1. I will also go back to reducing the size of the English Wikipedia images dump. For wikis, I'm going to try Serbian and maybe Russian. If Russian is too difficult (they tend to be the most experimental with Scribunto), then I'll switch them with Swedish instead.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.6.4_.282014-06-22_21:42_Sun.29">Release: v1.6.4 (2014-06-22 21:42 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
Due to some technical complication, I had to redo the English Wiki scan mid-week. As a result, I didn't get a chance to look at reducing the size of the dump. While waiting, I pretty much ended up spending all my time on the new Popups feature. For an initial version, I think it turned out fairly well. I'm hoping others will find it useful.
</p>
<p>
v1.6.5 will involve some work on minor parser issues. The latest English Wiki has a few issues that I didn't get a chance to review. I'll also look at some tweaks / performance enhancements to popups, and try to include some other UI changes. For wikis, I'm going to resume with Spanish and Romanian.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.6.3_.282014-06-15_21:53_Sun.29">Release: v1.6.3 (2014-06-15 21:53 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v1.6.2 was mostly about infrastructure changes. I changed tidy to parse only page content, while cleaning up most of the HTML &lt;head&gt; generation. Both these items took longer than expected. I did manage to add options to handle auto-collapse / auto expand, and included a few javascript refinements thanks to <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Schnark" rel="nofollow" class="external text">Schnark</a>.
</p>
<p>
v1.6.3 will shift focus a bit. The <a href="http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20140614/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">enwiki dump</a> finally started, and I'm going to try to change the update process to delete unused files. Enwiki is approximately 86.4 GB and has a turnover of 1 - 2 GB per month. If the unused images are deleted, I'm hoping to get back into the 70s, if not lower. 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. Finally, I'm going to experiment with <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Hovercards" rel="nofollow" class="external text">Hovercards</a> in XOWA. If I'm lucky, I may be able to get something in for a v1.6.* release. Otherwise, it'll have to wait for XOWA HTML dumps.
</p>

<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v1.6.2_.282014-06-08_21:56_Sun.29">Release: v1.6.2 (2014-06-08 21:56 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
With v1.6.2, I included a significantly different JTidy. I ported as many of the changes from tidy over to JTidy -- mostly in the various Parse classes. I still have more changes planned for JTidy, but hopefully the bulk of the compliance work has been done. I was able to do a full parse of all the English Wikipedia pages, and the new JTidy jar helped me discover a few minor issues in the Wikipedia namespace. I also added a bunch of minor UI changes, including new privacy options and several Tab actions (Close Others, Undo Close Tab, Select by #)
</p>
<p>
For v1.6.3, I'm planning to work on more JTidy related changes. Now that JTidy is fully integrated into XOWA, I need to remove some early XOWA tidy-like logic that prevents JTidy from fixing malformed HTML. I'll also add a few other minor UI changes as well, with some focus on Javascript changes (particularly auto-collapse all sections). For wikis, I'm planning on Indonesian (new) and Italian (update).

</h2>
<p>
I thought it might be useful to have a blog that covers various parts of XOWA's development. Its main objectives would be the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Give an idea of what's in progress for the next release
</li>
<li>
Highlight some of the more interesting issues from a recent or upcoming release.
</li>
<li>
Cover anything else related to XOWA
</li>
</ul>
<p>
This is a new thing, so I'll be experimenting with style / format / content for a while. I'm hoping to put up at least an entry or two per week.

<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_NONE_.282015-03-29_20:20_Sun.29">Release: NONE (2015-03-29 20:20 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
So, I'm going to be skipping this week's release as well. The code is mostly done, but I had to rewrite a significant part last night, so I wanted to give it more time to burn in. Polish and Greek are still on hold, and they will be released after English.
</p>
<p>
At this point, the new changes will be going live for v2.4.1. It's not ideal, but I'd rather have a more stable major than a possibly unstable minor one.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_NONE_.282015-03-22_20:15_Sun.29">Release: NONE (2015-03-22 20:15 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
I'm skipping this week's release also. I've rewritten most of the code, but I wanted another week to do some more testing. I'm also skipping Polish and Greek, as I want to start releasing databases in the new format.
</p>
<p>
I won't be skipping v2.3.5 as I'd like to introduce the new database layout in a minor release, rather than a major 2.4.1 one.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_NONE_.282015-03-15_20:55_Sun.29">Release: NONE (2015-03-15 20:55 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
I'm skipping this week's release. I'm rewriting more of the database code to generate a single-file wiki. I'm also doing the same for files to generate a single-file database. I'm hoping this will help simplify deployment in the future - particularly for Android. The code is stable, but I want a little while longer to review the database scheme. Aside from that, I haven't run into any bugs, so there wouldn't be much point to releasing a work-in-progress.
</p>
<p>
I did post the latest English Wikipedia images at <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest</a> I also posted Finnish wikis at <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_fiwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_fiwiki_latest</a>
</p>
<p>
v2.3.4 will include the new database code. I'm also planning on updating Polish and Greek.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v2.3.2.1_.282015-03-08_20:44_Sun.29">Release: v2.3.2.1 (2015-03-08 20:44 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v2.3.2.1 had some minor fixes. The most major fix was Wikisource not showing full content for non-English wikis. Unfortunately this was related to some of the infrastructural changes last week.
</p>
<p>
I'm uploading the Italian wikis now, but they will probably not be ready until the morning. I'm going to hold off on Finnish until next week. I did make more progress in Android, and now have MathJax working.
</p>
<p>
v2.3.3.1 will have Finnish wikis as well as the latest English wiki update. I'm also working on a single-file XOWA database. Other than that, I'll continue ahead with Android.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v2.3.1.1_.282015-03-01_20:18_Sun.29">Release: v2.3.1.1 (2015-03-01 20:18 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v2.3.1.1 had no real fixes. The Dutch and Latin wikis were rebuilt without any isses, though Latin is still uploading. There were substantial infrastructural changes, though hopefully I won't run into the same release problems from last week. In addition, I finally got a very alpha version of images working on the Android.
</p>
<p>
v2.3.2.1 will have a rebuild of the Italian and Finnish wikis. I'll continue ahead on Android and try to get a more stable version.

<p>
The desktop app is a major release. It resolves reference errors in 2016-01 English Wikipedia, fixes wide images on German Wikipedia, and adds a new PageBanner extension
</p>
<p>
The Android app is also a major release. It shows more tables, heiroglyphics, and images with a ? in title.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Luaj_fixes_for_references_in_2016-01-13_English_Wikipedia">Luaj fixes for references in 2016-01-13 English Wikipedia</span>
</h3>
<p>
The 2016-01-13 dump had many erros in the reference section due to bugs in Luaj. One of the following would be displayed:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Check |archiveurl= value (help)
</li>
<li>
Specials character in |{some word}
</li>
</ul>
<p>
These were bugs in Luaj with the frontier pattern and multi-byte chars. They were both resolved in this release.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Fix_for_German_Wikipedia_and_extremely_wide_pie_charts">Fix for German Wikipedia and extremely wide pie charts</span>
</h3>
<p>
I'm extremely thankful for this report at <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/38" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/38</a> There were HTML issues in German Wikipedia because all the wikis rely implicitly on American formatting rules for decimals. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The German Wikipedia page for Hausmannstätten specifies a pie chart with a width (Breite) of 0.9 . See: <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hausmannst%C3%A4tten&amp;action=edit" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hausmannst%C3%A4tten&amp;action=edit</a>
</li>
<li>
This value gets multiplied by various numbers in the template. For example: <code>width:{{#expr:18*{{{Breite}}} }}em;</code>. See: <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vorlage:Sitzverteilung/&amp;action=edit" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vorlage:Sitzverteilung/&amp;action=edit</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
XOWA was doing this multiplication using the user's locale.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
For US users (like me), <code>18*.9</code> was calculated correctly as <code>16.2</code>
</li>
<li>
For German users though, <code>18*.9</code> was calculated incorrectly as <code>162</code>.
<ul>
<li>
This was because Java was interpreting the <code>.9</code> using German number-format rules. Since "." is the thousands separator, and "," is the decimal separator, <code>.9</code> became <code>9</code>. For US users, imagine <code>,9</code> becoming <code>9</code>.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
v3.1.5 fixes this issue by asserting that all decimal-parsing is done in the US locale.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="New_PageBanner_extension_for_Wikivoyage">New PageBanner extension for Wikivoyage</span>
</h3>
<p>
This was an extension introduced by Wikimedia late last year to standardize the display of the image, icons and table of contents at the top of the page. This involved some considerable work on my side (including a Mustache parser), but XOWA now reproduces the same look.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_Show_navboxes_and_other_tables">(Android) Show navboxes and other tables</span>
</h3>
<p>
The Wikipedia Mobile app deliberately hides navboxes as well as other tables. I think this is done for the following reasons:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
These tables were meant for desktop display, and often had wide widths
</li>
<li>
These tables clutter the page.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
In contrast, I really do like showing as much content as possible, so I decided to show these tables. I'll probably put an option to disable this later, but I'm going to wait first for some feedback from others
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_Always_center_table_content">(Android) Always center table content</span>
</h3>
<p>
This is another deviation from the Wikipedia Mobile app style. Basically most tables are left-aligned and would end before reaching the right-hand side of the page. I changed the CSS to have these tables fill up the entire page and center the content.
</p>
<p>
This has one unfortunate sideback in that it breaks the "Collapse" buttons. I'll try to fix this in a future release, but if I can't, I may remove them entirely.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_Show_hieroglyphics">(Android) Show hieroglyphics</span>
</h3>
<p>
The early versions of the XOWA Android app did not show hieroglyphics. This is now supported in this build
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_Show_images_with_.3F_in_file_title">(Android) Show images with ? in file title</span>
</h3>
<p>
This was a bug wherein images that had a ? were not being displayed within the Android WebView. I fixed this by replacing ? with %3F.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Next_release:_v3.2.1">Next release: v3.2.1</span>
</h3>
<p>
I ran into several issues with the 2016-01 English Wikipedia dump that set me back a few days. I'm planning to upload English Wikipedia images and HTML this week, and then continue on with the other English wikis
</p>
<p>
For code, I'm going to tackle performance on the Android search again as well as a few minor UI issues on Android (collapse-table, pinch-zoom)
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v3.1.4.2_.282016-01-28_11:00_Thu.29">Release: v3.1.4.2 (2016-01-28 11:00 Thu)</span>
</h2>
<p>
This is an interim release for the desktop app. It fixes script error messages in 2016-01-13 English Wikipedia
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Scribunto_fixes_for_2016-01-13_English_Wikipedia">Scribunto fixes for 2016-01-13 English Wikipedia</span>
</h3>
<p>
I accidentally had the wrong dump in place when kicking off the 2016-01-13 build. As such, I didn't spot the issue till this morning after I restarted the build.
</p>
<p>
Basically, the <a href="https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20160113/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">2016-01-13 English Wikipedia dump</a> introduced new page admininistration functions. These include {{PROTECTIONEXPIRY}} as well as a Scribunto function called getStabilitySettings. This resulted in a bold red "Script error" message at the top of every protected page. There are a lot of protected pages.
</p>
<p>
v3.1.4.2 resolves both issues. So far, it's stable across 35,000+ pages, but if you run across any issues, please report them. Thanks.
</p>

</h2>
<p>
The desktop app is a major release. It resolves several wiktionary errors on non-English pages and has better HTML dump generation for other wikis.
</p>
<p>
The Android app is a major release. It has a more responsive search, instant image loading when reloading page, and a fix for pages failing to load if they have spaces and colons in the title.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Scribunto_.2F_Luaj_fixes_for_English_Wiktionary">Scribunto / Luaj fixes for English Wiktionary</span>
</h3>
<p>
There were several dozen pages with script errors in English Wiktionary. They basically fell into these categories:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Luaj / Scribunto errors with MCBS entities in Asian languages (1 glyph; 2 char).
</li>
<li>
Programmatic errors for minor cases
<ul>
<li>
Recursive gsub calls with lua function
</li>
<li>
Search position returned as int not string
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The build log for English Wiktionary looks a lot cleaner now, though I still have to add some support for the {{categorytree}} function.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Better_HTML_dump_generation_for_English_Wiktionary.2C_Wikisource.2C_Wikiquote.2C_etc._Also.2C_French_Wikipedia">Better HTML dump generation for English Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikiquote, etc. Also, French Wikipedia</span>
</h3>
<p>
I ran the HTML dump generator through all the English wikis, as well as French Wikipedia. The results looked good, but there were a lot of log errors that were addressed with this release.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_More_responsive_search">(Android) More responsive search</span>
</h3>
<p>
Search is still slow on Android. I'll fix this in a future relase, but I'll have to change the format of the search databases.
</p>
<p>
In the interim, I hacked in the following approach. Assume a search term of "Earth":
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Search for titles that match the term. For example, "Earth". This is fast and usually comes back in 0 - 3 seconds.
</li>
<li>
Search for titles that have the term in any word within the title. For example, "History of Earth". This is moderate and usually comes back in 5 - 10 seconds.
</li>
<li>
Search for titles that have the term starting in any word within the title. For example, "Earthquake". This is slow and usually takes 15 seconds and sometimes more.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_Instant_image_loading_when_reloading_page">(Android) Instant image loading when reloading page</span>
</h3>
<p>
First, some background. XOWA loads pages in two stages:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Show the HTML
</li>
<li>
Fill in the images one by one
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The 2nd stage is necessary because it takes a few tenths of a second to retrieve an image from the database. For large pages (20+ images), this would delay page load by a few seconds (for example: 20 images * .2 second = 4 seconds).
</p>
<p>
However, once a page is viewed, reloading a page shouldn't have to re-retrieve the image from the database. The previous releases were actually re-retrieving the image. This release just uses the image if it's already there.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_Fix_for_pages_failing_to_load_if_they_have_spaces_and_colons_in_the_title">(Android) Fix for pages failing to load if they have spaces and colons in the title</span>
</h3>
<p>
This only affects a small minority of items that have a colon and spaces in the title. For example, "List of A:B items". XOWA didn't load this page because the underlying Wikipedia Mobile App was encoding the spaces as +.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Next_release:_v3.1.5">Next release: v3.1.5</span>
</h3>
<p>
I haven't uploaded wikis this week, because I'm working on a blocking item in Wikivoyage (Pagebanner). I'm going to delay another week and focus on updating 2016-01-13 English Wikipedia. This means a new HTML dump which should be available by next Sunday. I'm also hoping to upload the other English wikis, and then continue on to French, etc.
</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, I'm going to delay the Google Play Store a few weeks. If anyone thinks I should go to Google Play Store earlier, please let me know. From my side, there are a number of items that still need polish. If you have any feedback, please do post in <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/36" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/36</a> I'd appreciate anything: from "Works fine" to "This feature needs some more work".

Finally, if you have an Android device and want a wiki for your device, let me know which, and I'll bump it up in priority. The next items in queue are French, German, Chinese and Arabic Wikipedia. I'll get to all the wikis but it may take a few months unless I hear requests otherwise.
</p>
<h2>

</h2>
<p>
The desktop app is a trivial release. Its main feature is a help page for generating HTML-dumps
</p>
<p>
The Android app is a major release. It has a Random feature, shows more images, and adds CSS-tweaks.
</p>

</h3>
<p>
This item is self-explanatory. The XOWA Android app is getting more stable, so I felt it would be time to document the generation of the HTML databases.

</h3>
<p>
This build has a number of new features.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Random now works in offline mode.
</li>
<li>
All thumb and gallery images should now show up. (approximately 5% of them weren't before)
</li>
<li>
CSS tweaks were added to center the images as well as standardize some background colors

<p>
The Wikimedia dump service resumed, but I'd like to delay French, Polish and Latin for another week. I'm planning to generate HTML dumps for the rest of the English wikis including Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikivoyage, etc. This will be a good stress test for the new XOWA html-dump format before I continue on to other wikis.
</p>
<p>
I'm also going to continue tweaking the XOWA Android app. If you have a moment to help out with testing, please set it up and give me some feedback: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/36" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/36</a>

</h2>
<p>
There's no release for the XOWA app tonight. I've spent the week mostly on the Android app, and there were no real changes for the main desktop app.
</p>
<p>
I have released an Alpha of the XOWA Android App. You should check the following links:

<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Next_release:_v3.1.3">Next release: v3.1.3</span>
</h3>
<p>
I still have some tasks for XOWA Android that I'd like to work on this week. I am going to try to release the main app next week, but if there are no new changes it may slip again in favor of an update of the XOWA Android release
</p>
<p>
I haven't generated any wikis this week as the dump service seems to have come to a halt. Whenever it resumes, I'll pick up again with the promised updates of French, Polish and Greek
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v3.1.1.1_.282016-01-03_20:00_Sun.29">Release: v3.1.1.1 (2016-01-03 20:00 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
v3.1.1 is a minor release. It has a few fixes for some English Wikipedia pages, and many trivial HTML changes.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Handle_refs_inside_.7B.7B.23tag.7D.7D">Handle refs inside {{#tag}}</span>
</h3>
<p>
I only saw this issue on one page in English Wikipedia (United Kingdom), but it has potential for more effects. Basically, XOWA did not handle &lt;ref&gt; inside a {{#tag}}. For example: {{#tag:ref|&lt;ref&gt;a&lt;/ref&gt;}}. For the United Kingdom page, this threw off the format, and made the Infobox as wide as the entire page.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Fix_for_incorrect_search_word_counts_and_IPA_links">Fix for incorrect search word counts and IPA links</span>
</h3>
<p>
There was a minor issue with incorrect search counts for words. I don't think this affects anything for desktop searches, but it did throw off the Android search.
</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, due to incorrect URL generation, IPA links would not download from the web after being clicked.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Trivial_HTML_changes">Trivial HTML changes</span>
</h3>
<p>
v3.1.1 has a bunch of HTML changes to make it slightly closer to MediaWiki's HTML.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The most significant one is the removal of the magnify icon, which is now being handled in CSS as opposed to a separate &lt;img&gt; tag.
</li>
<li>
There are a few other ones affecting incorrect escaping of quotes. This would cause incomplete titles when hovering over images or links.
</li>
<li>
Finally there are minor whitespace / attribute generation issues. None of these should be noticeable; they were made to handle log messages during bulk HTML generation
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Next_release:_v3.1.2">Next release: v3.1.2</span>
</h3>
<p>
I was on track to release the new Android version tonight, but ran into a last minute issue with thumbs and English Wikipedia. I'm pushing this out another week.
</p>
<p>
For wikis, I'll work on the French Wikipedia refresh, and try to add on Polish and Greek.
</p>
<p>
Finally, an apology to those I've promised minor changes. I've spent a lot of time on Android recently, and there's been a backlog of items. I'm hoping to be done with the Android version in the next few weeks and will work on these items as I get time.

<p>
Another week, another postponement. My apologies, but I'm usually very cautious when making database changes -- especially since it's pretty important to get things right the first time. I'm going to try for a Thursday release, but may fall back on next Sunday.
</p>
<p>
I did upload the new Android English Wikipedia for 2016-02 this week. The new urls are at <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/36#issuecomment-172428070" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/36#issuecomment-172428070</a> .

</h2>
<p>
I'm skipping the release this week also. I've made some good progress with search, and have a prototype that is significantly faster than the existing version. However, it'll take me another week before I add it to Android and probably two weeks before the desktop.
</p>
<p>
I uploaded the image update for English Wikipedia 2016-02 this week. You can grab the latest at <a href="https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-02-03_file_v2b.7z" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-02-03_file_v2b.7z</a> My next task is to make these updates easier, but I'm afraid it'll have to wait until I'm done with major Android features. I'm also postponing other image dumps as I just want to focus solely on search and related matters. I'm hoping to resume next week.
</p>
<p>
I am going to upload the HTML for English Wikipedia 2016-02 this week. If you want to try the new search, you should start downloading this version. Once I'm done with search, you'll have to download these two files to have the new upgraded search for Android:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
en.wikipedia.org-core.xowa
</li>
<li>
en.wikipedia.org-xtn.search.core.xowa
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Until then, if you're using the Android beta, please bear with the slow search. Thanks.
</p>

<p>
I'm skipping the release this week. I'm trying to make a lot of performance-related changes to Search that will affect the desktop and Android version. There's a chance I may skip next week also.
</p>
<p>
Also, I'm building English Wiki 2016-02 now. I'm still a little behind in wiki dumps and I'll resume this week.

I've also updated all English Wikis. I generated Android versions of each as well, and will upload during the week if they proof well.

<span class="mw-headline" id="Fix_for_search_not_working">Fix for search not working</span>
</h3>
<p>
This was a bug that I introduced back in 3.1.1. Title search doesn't work. For example: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Earth&amp;fulltext=y" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Earth&amp;fulltext=y</a> .
</p>
<p>
If you've built a wiki with any 3.1.* version, you will have to rebuild it. You can do this with the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Go to <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Dashboard/Wiki_maintenance.html" id="xolnki_7" title="Dashboard/Wiki maintenance" class="xowa-visited">Dashboard/Wiki_maintenance</a>
</li>
<li>
Find your wiki and click the "Search" button
</li>
<li>
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Run script"
</li>
</ul>
<p>
You can also rebuild the entire wiki.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Fix_for_English_Wiktionary_sections_not_expanding_correctly">Fix for English Wiktionary sections not expanding correctly</span>
</h3>
<p>
This bug occurs when opening up any English Wiktionary page. Each page will have Translation tables with a "Hide" / "Show" button. The following occurred when viewing these pages (for example: <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green</a>)
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Table shows up collapsed, but button says "Hide"
</li>
<li>
Clicking on "Hide" only changes the button to "Show"
</li>
<li>
Clicking on "Show" finally expands the table
</li>
</ul>
<p>
v3.2.1 now expands these tables by default. Note that you can control the default behavior at <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Options/Wiki_HTML.html" id="xolnki_8" title="Options/Wiki HTML" class="xowa-visited">Options/Wiki_HTML</a> under Collapsible

<p>
This build was made possible by yonisolo. Many thanks to him for taking the initiative to get this to work. As a result of his efforts, you can now use your Raspberry Pi to run XOWA as an HTTP server.
</p>
<p>
Note that the GUI does not work due to SWT issues with ARM. I don't know if anyone is interested in having this work, but if so, let me know, and I'll revisit.

I was planning to improve the Android search version this week, but ended up spending some time on the English Wiki builds as well as underlying database code.
</p>
<p>
I'm still going to work on this database code this week. My aims are the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Add a feature to auto-sync the current English Wikipedia images set (they're around 90 GB)
</li>
<li>
Add some indices to improve performance on the Android search.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
For wikis, I'm going to work on French Wiki.

<p>
The desktop app is a major release. It has a new autocomplete address bar, a new search system as well as minor parser fixes.
</p>
<p>
The Android app is a major release. It has more updates for the new search system.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Desktop.29_New_autocomplete_address_bar">(Desktop) New autocomplete address bar</span>
</h3>
<p>
The address bar now supports autocompletion. For example, open up English Wikipedia, and start typing <code>earth</code>. The autocomplete is very fast and supports a lot of advanced functionality. For example you can do a search like <code>earth + (history, future) -middle</code> directly in the address bar. See <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/App/Search/Overview.html" id="xolnki_7" title="App/Search/Overview" class="xowa-visited">App/Search/Overview</a> as well as <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Options/Search_suggest.html" id="xolnki_8" title="Options/Search suggest">Options/Search suggest</a>.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, the autocomplete uses the new search system, so old wikis need to upgrade the search databases. You can upgrade by any of the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Use the search suggest box
<ul>
<li>
Open any page in the wiki
</li>
<li>
Click the search suggest box (the box between "View HTML" and the magnifying glass)
</li>
<li>
Start typing. XOWA will prompt you to upgrade the wiki.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Use the <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Dashboard/Wiki_maintenance.html" id="xolnki_9" title="Dashboard/Wiki maintenance" class="xowa-visited">Dashboard/Wiki_maintenance</a> page
<ul>
<li>
Go to <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Dashboard/Wiki_maintenance.html" id="xolnki_10" title="Dashboard/Wiki maintenance" class="xowa-visited">Dashboard/Wiki_maintenance</a>
</li>
<li>
Find your wiki in the list
</li>
<li>
Click the <code>Search</code> button in the same row
</li>
<li>
Click <code>Run Script</code>
</li>
</ul>

<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Desktop.29_New_search_system">(Desktop) New search system</span>
</h3>
<p>
I completely rewrote the search system over the past several weeks. Most of these changes were meant for Android to handle fast searches with a slower processor. This new engine is now part of the desktop app, so desktop users get the same benefits as well. To summarize, here are the main benefits:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Faster searches</b>: Searches are now dramatically faster for single-words (<code>earth</code>), wildcards (<code>e*</code>), multiple words (<code>earth history</code>) and multiple wildcards (<code>earth* history*</code>)
</li>
<li>
<b>PageRank score</b>: Searches now use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank" rel="nofollow" class="external text">PageRank</a> to order results. These provide better quality results than using page length. The old system would show "List of" pages at the top of the page
</li>
<li>
<b>Punctuation friendly</b>: Searches can be done for <code>U.S.A.</code> or <code>USA</code>; <code>dont't</code> or <code>dont</code>; <code>half-life</code> or <code>half</code> or <code>life</code>.
</li>
<li>
<b>Boolean searches</b>: Searches can use boolean operators like <code>-</code>, <code>,</code>, <code>+</code>, <code>()</code>, and <code>*</code>. In addition, there's even an escape operator: <code>\</code>. See <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/App/Search/Overview.html" id="xolnki_11" title="App/Search/Overview" class="xowa-visited">App/Search/Overview</a>
</li>
<li>
<b>Home wiki</b>: The home wiki is now searchable. Try entering in <code>search</code> or any other word
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Desktop.29_Minor_fixes_for_Category_pages_and_taxonomy_url_links">(Desktop) Minor fixes for Category pages and taxonomy url links</span>
</h3>
<p>
There are basically two fixes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Category pages had script error</b>: 2016-03 English Wikipedia Category pages would have script errors in the top right corner of the page. For example, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_lacking_sources_from_February_2009" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_lacking_sources_from_February_2009</a>
</li>
<li>
<b>Taxonomy boxes would have non-clickable links</b>: 2016-03 English Wikipedia pages on biological species have a taxonomy box at the bottom of the page. It has external links which should be clickable, but were not. For example, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_eagle" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_eagle</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_Improvements_for_search_system">(Android) Improvements for search system</span>
</h3>
<p>
The Android search system received more performance and accuracy improvements. Also, the Android version supports boolean searches as well. If you're using the new search system, you should definitely update your copy:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Download the new apk: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases</a>
</li>
<li>

</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Next_release:_v3.4.1">Next release: v3.4.1</span>
</h3>
<p>
I've spent a lot of time on the search system for the past several weeks. I'm going to take a break and work on the following items for next week's release:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Shrink the image databases for English Wikipedia</b> : English Wikipedia is getting close to 128 GB but there are about 25 GB of unused image files. I'm planning on adding a feature that allows users to delete these old images. I'll also upload a brand new set.
</li>
<li>
<b>Resume image dumps</b>: I'm going to upload a new French Wikipedia.
</li>
<li>
<b>Make minor Android changes</b>: There are still some minor changes I need to make for the upcoming Google Play release in April.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_NONE_.282016-03-20_22:00_Sun.29">Release: NONE (2016-03-20 22:00 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
I'm postponing this week's release. I'm almost done with the desktop integration of the new search system, but I still want to make a few more changes and feel that a few more days would help.
</p>
<p>
I did upload new updates for English Wikipedia this week. See <a href="https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest</a> and the 2016-03-05 files. I'll update the links later to point to them.
</p>
<p>
I'll try to upload a new Android release later this week. This will mostly have small tweaks for the new search system.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v3.3.2.1_.28Andriod_only.29_.282016-03-13_22:00_Sun.29">Release: v3.3.2.1 (Andriod only) (2016-03-13 22:00 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
Again, there is no new release for the desktop app. I will make one next week, and resume wiki generation then.
</p>
<p>
The Android app is a major release. The major change is an improved search system. To get it, do the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Download the new Android apk: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/tag/v3.3.2.1" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/tag/v3.3.2.1</a>
<ul>
<li>
Note: I changed the application ID yet again, so make sure you remove the old XOWA app, or you will have 2 XOWA apps. If you do end up with 2 of them, remove both, and reinstall v3.3.2.1 again
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Download the new core English Wikipedia files (1.2 GB): <a href="https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-02-04_html_core_v3.7z" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-02-04_html_core_v3.7z</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Here is a list of the changes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
"Wikipedia Alpha" updates no longer replaces XOWA: XOWA is a fork of the Wikipedia app. I haven't changed all the Wikipedia branding and IDs. In this particular case, I had left the package name the same. Whenever "Wikipedia Alpha" pushed out a new update, Android would prompt the user to install it. Installing it would remove XOWA and replace it with the "Wikipedia Alpha".
</li>
<li>
Better performance for multi-word searches: I had to add more columns and indexes to support faster lookup for certain types of searches. For example, "earth a". Unfortunately this required updating the core English Wikipedia files again
</li>
<li>
Do not scroll to top of results when adding new results: XOWA works by finding 2 - 5 results at a time and sending them incrementally to the search window. Each send would cause the search results to scroll back to the top. This was annoying when browsing through the list while search is running.
</li>
<li>
Return 10 results by default and scroll to retrieve more results: Previously, XOWA would only return 50 results. Now, XOWA is smart enough to search for more as needed. Also, performance is improved by returning 10 instead of 50.
</li>
<li>
Return search text as first result: XOWA now uses "page rank" to sort the results. However, most times, the search term may not be the highest ranking. For example, searching for "ear" would list "earth" over "ear" because "earth" has a higher rank. Now, XOWA will list "ear" first since that is the current search text
</li>
<li>
Identify redirect articles with "→": Wikipedia uses redirects to handle items like "page renames and "misspellings". For example, "Www" redirects to "World Wide Web". XOWA better identifies these entries by showing "Www → World Wide Web"
</li>
<li>
Remove redundant redirect articles from results: Ordinarily, there can be many redirects leading to the same page. For example, "World wide web" and "World-wide web" are both redirects to "World Wide Web". Previously, searching for "world wide web" would return all three pages. Now only 1 is returned.
</li>
<li>
Search for entire word by putting space at end of search: XOWA automatically adds a wildcard to every search. For example, searching for "earth" actually searches for "earth*" which will return "Earth" and "Earthquake". However, sometimes only "Earth" is wanted, not "Earthquake". Adding a space and searching for "earth " will automatically limit the search to "Earth"
</li>
<li>
Highlight search terms in search results: XOWA was previously relying on Wikipedia code to highlight search terms. This approach was rather simple: it would highlight a term only if the exact search string was found in the text. For example, "Earth History" would correctly highlight "Museum of <strong>Earth History</strong>" but not "History of Earth". This version now highlights the second as "<strong>History</strong> of <strong>Earth</strong>"
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Again, I strongly recommend you get this version. There are a few bugs to work out, but this version is much improved over previous ones. This is the last major update for Android search, and future changes will probably not have as much of a noticeable impact -- at least until I get around to full-text search.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v3.3.1.1_.28Andriod_only.29_.282016-03-06_22:00_Sun.29">Release: v3.3.1.1 (Andriod only) (2016-03-06 22:00 Sun)</span>
</h2>
<p>
There is no new release for the desktop app. I'm still making major changes to the Search system and need more time for review.
</p>
<p>
The Android app is a major release. The major change is a faster search system. To get it, do the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Download the new Android apk: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/tag/v3.3.1.1" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/tag/v3.3.1.1</a>
<ul>
<li>
Note: I changed the application ID, so make sure you remove the old XOWA app, or you will have 2 XOWA apps. If you do end up with 2 of them, remove both, and reinstall v3.3.1.1 again
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Download the new core English Wikipedia files (1.6 GB): <a href="https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-02-04_html_core_v2.7z" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-02-04_html_core_v2.7z</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Here is a brief summary of the advantages:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Better performance: Search is much quicker. One word searches should come back subsecond and multiple words should come back in a few, with initial results coming back in the first second
</li>
<li>
Better ranking: Search now ranks results by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank" rel="nofollow" class="external text">page rank</a>. Previously, XOWA ranks by page length, which resulted in long "List of" articles appearing near the top.
</li>
<li>
Better search terms: Search now handles punctuation better. Searches can be done for "U.S.A." or "USA"; "don't" or "dont"; "half-life" or "half" or "life".
</li>
</ul>
<p>
I'll explain these in greater detail in the next desktop release.
</p>
<p>
If you are using the Android beta, I strongly recommend you get this version. The new search is dramatically improved and well worth the effort.

<p>
This is a patch for a defect in v3.4.2.1.
</p>
<p>
v3.4.2.1 updated the CSS for the home wiki to fix a narrow search box. See <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/54" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/54</a>
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, this CSS also removed the wiki sidebar in the home wiki. I didn't notice this until yesterday.
</p>
<p>
The patch updates one file: /xowa/bin/any/xowa/cfg/app/xowa.gfs . Just replace your version with it.
</p>
<p>
You can also change this manually by finding the div_logo snippet and updating with the snippet below.
</p>
<p>
This will be part of the next release. I didn't want to release an entire new version for a one-line text-file fix.
</p>
<p>
Thanks.

<p>
The desktop app is a minor release. It has a fix for slow search database builds and some better Wikia support
</p>
<p>
The Android app is a major release. It has new pages for importing a wiki. It is the release candidate for XOWA beta on Google Play later this week.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Desktop.29_Faster_search_database_build">(Desktop) Faster search database build</span>
</h3>
<p>
As per <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/53" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/53</a> William was unable to build the new search databases on his machine. I tried it on an older dev machine, and found that it could take upwards of 5 hours to complete.
</p>
<p>
I optimized some of the SQL code and reduced it to about 2 hours. That said, note the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Fails on my 32-bit Windows XP dev machine</b>: I don't know why. The same build works on 2 Windows 7 64-bit machines, 1 openSUSE Linux 64-bit machine, and 1 Mac OS X 64-bit machine. It also works on the 32-bit JVM on the Windows 7 64-bit machine. However, the lone 32-bit Windows machine fails, and fails in a very strange way (it fails silently in release mode, and hangs in debug mode). I'm going to hope this is the non-dominant behavior, and reinvestigate at a later point in time.
</li>
<li>
<b>Really benefits from an SSD</b>: SQLite really does better with an SSD. I tried some tricks like changing PRAGMA synchronous to OFF, but this only shaves off a dozen or so minutes. In contrast, an SSD will easily knock off an hour if not more (from 2 hours to about 40 min)
</li>
<li>
<b>If you want the new search, downloading from archive.org is the easiest way</b>: There are other complexities with the search database rebuild (PageRank algorithm and the 10 GB pagelinks dump: See <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/App/Search/Overview.html" id="xolnki_7" title="App/Search/Overview" class="xowa-visited">App/Search/Overview</a>). As such, the easiest way is to download prebuilt copies from archive.org:

<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Desktop.29_New_English_Wikipedia_images_update_.282016-03.29">(Desktop) New English Wikipedia images update (2016-03)</span>
</h3>
<p>
I uploaded new consolidated versions of English Wikipedia images (2016-03) to archive.org. See <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest</a>.
</p>
<p>
In terms of usage, pick one of the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>New user</b>: Download the new 2016-03 version. Previously you would have to download 2015-06 set, and then download separate updates for every month between 2015-07 and 2016-03. This was just too cumbersome.
</li>
<li>
<b>Existing user (2015-06)</b>: Ignore the 2016-03 version. You downloaded the 2015-06 set and presumably have been keeping up with the monthly updates. The 2016-03 set is the same as your set, except it is smaller (it no longer has deleted images). If you want to remove about 8 GB of deleted images, see <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Dashboard/Files/Deletion.html" id="xolnki_8" title="Dashboard/Files/Deletion" class="xowa-visited">Dashboard/Files/Deletion</a>. Once you remove the deleted images, you will have a set that is exactly the same as the 2016-03 version.
</li>
<li>
<b>Existing user (2013-11 or something else)</b>: Download the 2016-03 version. You have an old set of XOWA image databases that I really can't support any longer (they have an extension of .sqlite3). I know downloading 80 GB is painful, but I'm not planning to change database formats again in the future.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Finally, after I release XOWA Beta for Android, I'm going to work on a new update feature that will more gracefully handle monthly updates. In the meantime, please bear with the manual process.

<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Desktop.29_Minor_Wikia_parser_tags">(Desktop) Minor Wikia parser tags</span>
</h3>
<p>
A user requested some parser functionality for Wikia wikis (see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gnosygnu" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gnosygnu</a> . This release now supports the &lt;choose&gt; and &lt;tabber&gt; extensions.

</h3>
<p>
The last major piece for XOWA Beta was more usable screens for importing wikis and managing wikis. Both these pages are now part of the latest release:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>XOWA Wikis</b>: The "XOWA" button in the left-nav now opens a page that lists all wikis. It also allows you to import a new one by pressing the "+" icon.
</li>
<li>
<b>Import new wikis</b>: The "Import" screen got a new design overhaul to make it much prettier and more intuitive. A lot of thanks goes to anonymous4 for helping with layout and feedback.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Android.29_Minor_fixes_for_crashes_.2F_obsoleted_items">(Android) Minor fixes for crashes / obsoleted items</span>
</h3>
<p>
There were two minor crashes that would occur when using the left-nav button. The main one was pressing "Random" when on the "Import" screen
</p>
<p>
I also removed two features: "Nearby" and "Log in to Wikipedia". Neither of these seem useful for offline XOWA, and I didn't want them taking up screen real-estate.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Next_release:_v3.4.3">Next release: v3.4.3</span>
</h3>
<p>
I'm planning on releasing XOWA Android Beta on Google Play mid-week. I'm sure that there will be spillover work that leads to another Android app update next week.
</p>
<p>
For wikis, the Wikimedia dump server is stalled again. I'm going to wait for it to resume before continuing with German Wikipedia.

The desktop app is a minor release. It has a few fixes related to old .sqlite3 wikis and offline imports.

<p>
The Android app has not been changed.

<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Desktop.29_Fixes_for_old_.sqlite3_wikis">(Desktop) Fixes for old .sqlite3 wikis</span>

These wikis were phased out last year (in 2015-04), but I didn't want to drop support for them entirely.
</p>
<p>
v3.4.1 has 2 fixes for the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Open old .sqlite3 wikis</b>: Previously, XOWA would just show a blank page
</li>
<li>
<b>Allow old .sqlite3 wikis to upgrade to the new search system</b>: Previously, XOWA would keep prompting to upgrade
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id=".28Desktop.29_Fix_for_offline_import_of_large_wikis">(Desktop) Fix for offline import of large wikis</span>

<p>
This was reported in a separate ticket: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/51" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/51</a> Basically, the new search system caused offline imports to fail for large wikis. A large wiki is defined as one with a dump file of 1.5 GB.
</p>
<p>
v3.4.1 fixes this issue. I tested with English Wikisource 2016-03: <a href="http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwikisource/20160305/" rel="nofollow" class="external free">http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwikisource/20160305/</a>
