+ Patch: Missing wikis in sidebar (2016-04-13 21:34 Wed) +

+

+ This is a patch for a defect in v3.4.2.1. +

+

+ v3.4.2.1 updated the CSS for the home wiki to fix a narrow search box. See https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/54 +

+

+ Unfortunately, this CSS also removed the wiki sidebar in the home wiki. I didn't notice this until yesterday. +

+

+ The patch updates one file: /xowa/bin/any/xowa/cfg/app/xowa.gfs . Just replace your version with it. +

+

+ You can also change this manually by finding the div_logo snippet and updating with the snippet below. +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ Thanks. +

+ Release: v3.4.2.1 (2016-04-10 21:00 Sun) +

+

+ The desktop app is a minor release. It has a fix for slow search database builds and some better Wikia support +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ (Desktop) Faster search database build +

+

+ As per https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/53 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. +

+

+ I optimized some of the SQL code and reduced it to about 2 hours. That said, note the following: +

+
    +
  • + Fails on my 32-bit Windows XP dev machine: 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. +
  • +
  • + Really benefits from an SSD: 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) +
  • +
  • + If you want the new search, downloading from archive.org is the easiest way: There are other complexities with the search database rebuild (PageRank algorithm and the 10 GB pagelinks dump: See App/Search/Overview). As such, the easiest way is to download prebuilt copies from archive.org: + +
  • +
+

+ (Desktop) New English Wikipedia images update (2016-03) +

+

+ I uploaded new consolidated versions of English Wikipedia images (2016-03) to archive.org. See https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest. +

+

+ In terms of usage, pick one of the following: +

+
    +
  • + New user: 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. +
  • +
  • + Existing user (2015-06): 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 Dashboard/Files/Deletion. Once you remove the deleted images, you will have a set that is exactly the same as the 2016-03 version. +
  • +
  • + Existing user (2013-11 or something else): 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. +
  • +
+

+ 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. +

+

+ (Desktop) Minor Wikia parser tags +

+

+ A user requested some parser functionality for Wikia wikis (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gnosygnu . This release now supports the <choose> and <tabber> extensions. +

+

+ (Android) New pages for "Import new wiki" and "XOWA Wikis" +

+

+ 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: +

+
    +
  • + XOWA Wikis: 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. +
  • +
  • + Import new wikis: 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. +
  • +
+

+ (Android) Minor fixes for crashes / obsoleted items +

+

+ 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 +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ Next release: v3.4.3 +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ For wikis, the Wikimedia dump server is stalled again. I'm going to wait for it to resume before continuing with German Wikipedia. +

+

+
+

+

+ Release: v3.4.1.1 (2016-04-04 20:00 Sun) +

+

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

+

+ The Android app has not been changed. +

+

+ (Desktop) Fixes for old .sqlite3 wikis +

+

+ As reported in https://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/discussion/defects/thread/f142ca23/ v3.3.4 did not work for old .sqlite3 wikis. These wikis were phased out last year (in 2015-04), but I didn't want to drop support for them entirely. +

+

+ v3.4.1 has 2 fixes for the following: +

+
    +
  • + Open old .sqlite3 wikis: Previously, XOWA would just show a blank page +
  • +
  • + Allow old .sqlite3 wikis to upgrade to the new search system: Previously, XOWA would keep prompting to upgrade +
  • +
+

+ (Desktop) Fix for offline import of large wikis +

+

+ This was reported in a separate ticket: https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/51 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. +

+

+ v3.4.1 fixes this issue. I tested with English Wikisource 2016-03: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwikisource/20160305/ +

+

+ (Desktop) Command to shrink English Wikipedia images by 8 GB +

+

+ The total size of English Wikipedia is about 90 GB. 8 GB is from old images: images removed from articles during the day-to-day editing churn. +

+

+ If you have English Wikipedia and have been following along with the updates, go to Dashboard/Files/Deletion and follow the instructions therein. +

+

+ (Package) Release of French Wikipedia 2016-03 +

+

+ I had a request to update French Wikipedia, but have been delaying it for several weeks. I updated French Wiki and uploaded it here: https://archive.org/details/Xowa_frwiki_latest +

+

+ Next release: v3.4.2 +

+

+ I'm planning to work on Android-only matters and release a "beta" app on Google play. For wikis, I'll update German Wikipedia. +

+

+
+

+

+ Release: NONE (2016-04-03 22:00 Sun) +

+

+ Sory all. I'm postponing the release for tomorrow night. I'll post again tomorrow evening. Thanks. +

+ Information [8] +

+

+ Package types +

+

+ XOWA releases 2 different types of packages. +

+
    +
  • + .xowa: This is the new package type. These files should all go into the wiki folder.[9] +
      +
    • + For example, English Wikipedia .xowa files should go to C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org. It would have files like the following: +
        +
      • + C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-core.xowa +
      • +
      • + C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-text-ns.000.xowa +
      • +
      • + C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-file-core.xowa +
      • +
      • + C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-file-ns.000-db.001.xowa +
      • +
      • + etc. +
      • +
      +
    • +
    +
  • +
  • + .sqlite3: This is the old package type. These will be replaced with new .xowa packages. These files should be placed in two folders: +
      +
    • + Files that are labeled "wiki" should go into the wiki folder. +
        +
      • + For example, English Wikipedia wiki .sqlite3 databases should go to C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org. It would have files like the following: +
          +
        • + C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org.000.sqlite3 +
        • +
        • + C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org.001.sqlite3 +
        • +
        • + etc. +
        • +
        +
      • +
      +
    • +
    • + Files that are labeled "images" should go into the file folder. +
        +
      • + For example, English Wikipedia file .sqlite3 databases should go to C:\xowa\file\en.wikipedia.org. It would have files like the following: +
          +
        • + C:\xowa\file\en.wikipedia.org\wiki.mnt.sqlite3 +
        • +
        • + C:\xowa\file\en.wikipedia.org\fsdb.main\fsdb.atr.00.sqlite3 +
        • +
        • + C:\xowa\file\en.wikipedia.org\fsdb.main\fsdb.bin.0000.sqlite3 +
        • +
        • + etc. +
        • +
        +
      • +
      +
    • +
    +
  • +
+

+ File types +

+
    +
  • + .7z: This file should be unzipped to the root folder. All files should be automatically unzipped to the right location. +
  • +
+
+
+ For example, if you unzip Xowa_enwiki_2013-11-04_images_complete_00.7z to C:\xowa you should have a file called C:\xowa\file\en.wikipedia.org\fsdb.main\fsdb.abc.sqlite3 +
+
+
    +
  • + .sqlite: These files are *.000.sqlite3 files that should be moved to the /xowa/wiki/wiki_name/ directory. +
  • +
+
+
+ For example, if you downloaded en.wikipedia.org.000.sqlite3 for enwiki, then the final path will be C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org.000.sqlite3 +
+
+

+ Notes +

+
    +
  1. + ^ Url for wiki +
  2. +
  3. + ^ Date of the database dump that was used to generate the file. See the Wikimedia dump servers +
  4. +
  5. + ^ Date the file was uploaded to archive.org +
  6. +
  7. + ^ Size of file (in GB) +
  8. +
  9. + ^ Type of download: +
      +
    • + .xowa: New format. All files go to /xowa/wiki/wiki_name +
    • +
    • + .sqlite3: Old format. Files go to /xowa/wiki/wiki_name and /xowa/file/wiki_name +
    • +
    +
  10. +
  11. + ^ URL for http download +
  12. +
  13. + ^ Note the following: +
      +
    • + The wiki files should be downloaded to the Wiki folder. See the footnote on XOWA folder types. [9] +
    • +
    • + The wiki download has been separated into multiple parts. If you want a complete copy of English Wikipedia, you should download all parts. If you want to save a few GB, you can skip the parts that are not required: +
        +
      • + core: (required: 513 MB) needed for wiki to work. +
      • +
      • + main articles: (required: 11.6 GB) has all main articles in the wiki +
      • +
      • + other articles: (optional: 2.9 GB) has other articles in the wiki, such as Portal, Wikipedia, Help, etc +
      • +
      • + search: (optional: 364 MB) needed for Special:Search +
      • +
      • + category: (optional: 2.9 GB) needed for Category pages +
      • +
      +
    • +
    +
  14. +
  15. + ^ For simplicity's sake, these instructions use a root folder of C:\xowa for all examples. Please adjust as necessary for Linux / Mac OS X. +
  16. +
  17. + ^ a c Note the following types of folders: +
      +
    • + Root folder +
    • +
    The root folder is the folder which contains the main XOWA .jar. For example, on a Windows 64-bit system, the root folder could be C:\xowa and it would contain C:\xowa\xowa_windows_64.jar. It could also be C:\Program Files\xowa or D:\My folder\xowa where D: is a flash card. For Linux users, the root folder could be /home/your_user_name/xowa/. For Mac OS X users, the root folder could be /Users/your_user_name/xowa/. +
      +
    • + Wiki folder +
    • +
    The wiki folder is the folder that contains the wiki databases. For example, for English Wikipedia on the same Windows system, the wiki folder would be C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org. If you're using German Wikisource, then the wiki folder would be C:\xowa\wiki\de.wikisource.org +
      +
    • + File folder +
    • +
    The file folder is the folder that contains the file databases for the sqlite3 version. For example, for English Wikipedia on the same Windows system, the wiki folder would be C:\xowa\file\en.wikipedia.org. If you're using German Wikisource, then the wiki folder would be C:\xowa\file\de.wikisource.org +

+

Set up English Wikipedia

+
+
From XOWA: a free, open-source, offline wiki application
+
+
+ + + +

+ Overview +

+

+ English Wikipedia has a lot of data. There are 15.0+ million pages with 20.0+ GB of text, as well as 4.0+ million thumbnails. +

+

+ Setting all this up on your computer will not be a quick process. As a general estimate, you will need about 30 GB and 5 hours processing time. If you want images as well, the numbers increase to 100 GB of disk space and 30+ hours of processing time. However, when you are done, you will have a complete, recent copy of English Wikipedia with images that can fit on a 128 GB SD card. +

+

+ Although the process itself is not hard, I strongly recommend that you try Simple Wikipedia first. Simple Wikipedia has 184,000 pages and 90,000 images. The text version uses 200 MB and sets up in 5 minutes. With images, this expands to 2 GB and 30 minutes of downloading time. Simple Wikipedia is a reasonably accurate simulation of English Wikipedia -- just much smaller. It'll also give you a pretty good idea of what XOWA can do. +

+

+ Part 1: Set up the wiki +

+

+ The first part is to set up the wiki. You have two approaches for this part: import the wiki with XOWA or download a copy from the internet. +

+

+ Option 1: Import the wiki with XOWA +

+

+ Overview +

+
    +
  • + XOWA will download the database dump from the Wikimedia backup servers +
  • +
  • + The database dump will be 10+ GB and take about 3 hours to download +
  • +
  • + XOWA will take about 2.5 hours to build the wiki. The final wiki will use about 20 GB of disk space.[1] +
  • +
+

+ Steps +

+
    +
  • + Launch XOWA +
  • +
  • + Use the menu bar and select Tools -> Import From List. Alternatively, you can enter home/wiki/Help:Import/List into the address bar +
  • +
  • + Find en.wikipedia.org +
  • +
  • + Click on the "download" link to the left. +
  • +
+

+ That's it. The import process has now started. This part takes at least 5 hours so you may want to let it run for a while. When it's done, it will automatically load the Main Page. +

+

+ Option 2: Download the wiki from archive.org +

+

+ Overview +

+
    +
  • + The download will be approximately 20 GB. +
  • +
  • + When the download is completed, extract the files to J:\gplx\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org +
  • +
+

+ Steps +

+
    +
  • + Download the file from here +
  • +
  • + After the download completes, unzip the archive file in J:\gplx\xowa\. When you are done you should have a file like J:\gplx\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-core.xowa +
  • +
  • + Launch XOWA +
  • +
  • + Enter "w:" in the address bar. The Main_Page should load. +
  • +
+

+ Part 2: Download the images +

+

+ This part takes much longer to complete. It will require at least 70 GB of disk space and 24+ hours of download time. You'll be downloading compressed files from archive.org.[2] +

+

+ Steps +

+
    +
  • + Go to https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest +
  • +
  • + Download each of the listed links marked image +
  • +
  • + Extract the files to J:\gplx\xowa\. When you are done, you will have files from J:\gplx\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-file-ns.000-db.001.xowa to J:\gplx\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-file-ns.000-db.023.xowa as well as several others +
  • +
+

+ Updating the wiki +

+

+ Wikipedia is constantly updating. New pages are added, and existing pages are changed to include different images. The above steps will give you a complete set of images for 2015-04-03. However, if you want to stay up to date with Wikipedia, then you may also want to download the monthly updates. +

+

+ Monthly updates will be posted at the same url: https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest There will be a new link with the name of the wiki dump: for example: 2015-05-02. They will have new images introduced in the Wikipedia dump for that month. Note that these updates should be downloaded and unzipped in order (i.e.: first 2015-05-02, then 2015-06-02, etc). There are some files that appear in multiple sets: the most recent copy of the file should always replace the earlier version. +

+

+ Note that if you update your wiki, you do not have to update the images. The two are independent of each other. In other words, you can use the 2017-01-01 English Wikipedia xml dump with the 2015-04-03 English Wikipedia images. Note that new images in the 2017-01-01 dump will not show up until you download the appropriate monthly updates. +

+

+ Disk space usage +

+

+ Some may wonder why XOWA needs so much disk space, especially when compared to other apps. The following is a brief list of reasons: +

+
    +
  • + XOWA is complete. It includes all articles across all namespaces, including the Wikipedia namespace, the Portal namespace, the Help namespace, and several others. It also includes redirect stubs. Other apps will only provide articles in the Main namespace. +
  • +
  • + XOWA includes Categories as well. Other apps will skip Categories altogether. +
  • +
  • + XOWA shows all content on the page. Other apps will omit sections, such as Table of Contents or Navigation boxes at the bottom of the page. +
  • +
  • + XOWA includes all images for the Main namespace, the Portal namespace and the Wikipedia namespace. Other apps will only provide images for the Main namespace +
  • +
  • + XOWA provides an accurate sized thumbnail for an article. If an article shows an 800 pixel wide image, XOWA shows an 800 pixel wide image. Other apps will actually show a smaller 220 pixel wide image. +
  • +
  • + XOWA includes the latest content. Other apps may be many months (if not years) behind. +
  • +
+

+ Notes +

+
    +
  1. + ^ Note that when the import completes, it will move the 10 GB file to /xowa/wiki/#dump/done. This file can be deleted safely. Note that XOWA doesn't delete the file, as some users may want to keep the 10 GB file around for archival purposes, and redownoading 10 GB would be time-consuming. +
  2. +
  3. + ^ Note that these images are thumbnails, and are not the originals. They will show correctly in the context of the article, but if you want the original file, you will need to download the tarballs. See Help:Offline images +

Set up Other Wikipedias

+
+
From XOWA: a free, open-source, offline wiki application
+
+
+ + +

+ Overview +

+

+ Other Wikipedias will follow the same process as setting up Simple Wikipedia or English Wikipedia. The steps are summarized below, but you should read both Help:Set up Simple Wikipedia and Help:Set up English Wikipedia +

+

+ Note that some Wikipedias will require a lot of disk space. For example, German Wikipeda requires at least 40 GB. Depending on your location it may take several hours to download that much data. Please prepare accordingly. +

+

+ Part 1: Set up the wiki +

+

+ The first part is to set up the wiki. The set-up process involves the following steps: +

+
    +
  • XOWA will download the database dump from the Wikimedia backup servers +
  • +
  • The database dump will be multiple GBs and take several hours to download +
  • +
  • XOWA will take about an hour to build the wiki and produce a wiki 2 times the dump size. For example, German Wikipedia's dump is currently about 3 GB, so XOWA will generate a 6 GB wiki +
  • +
+

+ To begin the process, do the following +

+
    +
  • Launch XOWA +
  • +
  • Use the menu bar and select Tools -> Import From List. Alternatively, you can enter home/wiki/Help:Import/List into the address bar +
  • +
  • Find your wiki's name in the list. +
  • +
  • Click on the "latest" link to the left. +
  • +
+

+ The import process will start. When it's done, it will automatically load the Main Page. +

+

+ Part 2: Download the images +

+

+ This part usually takes much longer to complete. It will require many GB of disk space and many hours of download time. For example, German Wikipedia takes up 32 GB and may take 16 hours to download. +

+

+ When you're ready to start, do the following: +

+
    +
  • Go to the download page +
  • +
  • Find your wiki in the list and click on the link +
  • +
  • Download the files from archive.org. +
  • +
  • Unzip the files in your xowa root directory. When you are done, you will have a file called /xowa/file/your_wiki.org/fsdb.main/fsdb.abc.sqlite3 as well as many others. +
  • +
  • Launch XOWA +
  • +
  • Enter "home/wiki/Help:Options/Files" into the address bar. +
  • +
  • Make sure "Retrieval enabled" is checked. +
  • +
  • Visit any page. All the images for this page will load. +
  • +
+

+ Updating the wiki +

+

+ If you want to update your wiki, you won't have to repeat the whole process. +

+
    +
  • If you update your wiki, you do not have to update the images. The two are independent of each other. Note that a later wiki dump may cite images not in the current XOWA image dump. These images won't show until you download the latest monthly update. +
  • +
  • XOWA will update images every few months. If you would like an update earlier, please post at https://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/discussion/general/thread/67c4cdb5/ +

Set up Simple Wikipedia

+
+
From XOWA: a free, open-source, offline wiki application
+
+
+ + +
+
+

+ Contents +

+
+ +
+

+ Overview +

+

+ Simple Wikipedia is a smaller wiki with 180,000+ pages and 90,000+ images. The text version can be setup in less than 5 minutes, using only 200 MB of disk space. The images version is a little larger: it needs 30 minutes of download time and 2 GB of space. +

+

+ Part 1: Import the wiki +

+
    +
  • + Launch XOWA +
  • +
  • + Find the link for "Set up Simple Wikipedia" near the middle of the Main Page (home/wiki/Main_Page). +
  • +
  • + Click on it. The import process will start and should complete within 5 minutes. +
  • +
  • + Visit different pages in Simple Wikipedia. Note that XOWA is showing all the articles, but without any images. +
  • +
+

+ Part 2: Download the images +

+
    +
  • + Download the zip from archive.org: https://archive.org/details/Xowa_simplewiki_latest +
  • +
  • + Unzip the files in your xowa root directory. When you are done, you will have a file called D:\xowa\simple.wikipedia.org\simple.wikipedia.org-file.xowa as well as many others.[1][2] +
  • +
  • + Enter simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_architecture into the address bar. All images should load. +
  • +
+

+ Notes +

+
    +
  1. + ^ This bundle also has Simple Wiktionary, Simple Wikiquote and Simple Wikibooks +
  2. +
  3. + ^ This bundle also has Simple Wikipedia from 2015-04-06. It will overwrite the copy you imported. This ensures that all the images should match up with the pages: i.e.: a later wiki (for example, 2017-01-02) may reference new images that were not present at the time of 2015-04-06. If you want a later version of Simple Wikipedia, simply reimport it again. Note the following about updating your wiki: +
      +
    • + Images will still show if the page hasn't changed the image. For example, if you are viewing a page from 2017-01-02 but no new images have been added or modified, then the page will look the same. +
    • +
    • + Images will not show, if the page has added new images or changed existing ones. For example, if the 2015-04-06 page had an Image called "Wiki_2015.png" but the 2017-01-02 version changed this to "Wiki_2017.png" then the "Wiki_2015.png" would not appear (since it wasn't known at the time of 2015-04-06) +
