Sorry all. Another patch release to fix a few major bugs.
</p>
<p>
Thanks to William and thombles for reporting the issues.

</h3>
<p>
v3.6.3.1 introduced automatic support for wikis downloaded through Download Central (HTML dumps). However, it wouldn't work with any wiki that was downloaded from archive.org (wikitext dumps, but with HTML metadata)
</p>
<p>
v3.6.3.3 fixes this issue. It now uses the wikitext dumps if the HTML dumps are not there. Just update your app, and you will see actual pages, not blank ones.
</p>
<p>
Also, note that you can disable the automatic HTML read by going to <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Options/HTML_databases.html" id="xolnki_9" title="Options/HTML databases" class="xowa-visited">Options/HTML_databases</a>

</h3>
<p>
Download Central looked pretty bad on Mac OS X. This was due to issues with the CSS flex directive and Safari browsers.
</p>
<p>
I put in a fix now to make it more presentable though there are still a few more blemishes to remove.

<p>
I had a report of Download Central failing for Simple Wikipedia. I was able to reproduce it partially on my Windows 32-bit machine, but it has since worked fine 4 times. Note that Download Central has also worked fine multiple times on Windows 64-bit machines and Linux 32-bit machines as well as Android OS.
</p>
<p>
I added some logging statements to troubleshoot the issue.

Going forward, Download Central will be the primary vehicle to get XOWA wikis. It provides a simple way to import wikis. It eliminates any confusion about which files to download and where to copy them. Monthly updates for English Wikipedia will be published here as well.
