- Release: NONE (2016-08-28 22:00 Sun) + Release: v3.8.5.1 (2016-08-29 21:00 Sun) +

+

+ The PC version is a major release. It adds better html database support for certain images, handles the lsth parser function, and makes minor changes to the Download Central Info page +

+

+ The Android version is a major release. It also includes the same better support for certain images. +

+

+ (Wiki) Publish 2016-08 English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia +

+

+ The 2016-08 versions of both wikis are finally up. You can get them through Download Central. +

+

+ (PC / Android) Better html database support for packed galleries, video thumbnails, and image maps +

+

+ There was a small percentage (< .1%) of images that didn't appear in the HTML databases. These include the following: +

+ +

+ The fix for the first two items required a major change to the HTML database format. The following is a brief (though technical) summary: +

+ +

+ From a general user standpoint, this change should be entirely transparent. v3.8.5 will work with both the old HTML databases as well as the new ones. However, any version earlier v3.8.4 and earlier will not work with the new HTML databases. +

+

+ Finally, the 2016-08 English and German Wikipedia are the first wikis to use the multi-threaded builder. This allowed me to cut down the English Wikipedia generation time from 80 hours to 12 hours (with 2 high-grade 8-core machines). This was a significant under-the-cover change, but hopefully most of the kinks have been worked out. +

+

+ (PC) Support the lsth parser function +

+

+ I discovered that a number of English Wikipedia pages used the {{#lsth}} function. In brief, this function includes a section from another page on the current page. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10s_BC . I ended up rewriting the lst functions to support this behavior. +

+

+ (PC) Add torrent link / MD5 info to the Download Central Info page +

+

+ Based on some welcome feedback from malakov1, I added a torrent link to the Download Central Info page. For example, Special:XowaDownloadCentralInfo?task id=96. Note that these torrent links are to the full archive.org folder, not the task. In particular, the following two types will be included: +

+ +

+ In most cases, you will need to manually exclude files from the torrent. Most torrent programs support this feature. For example, in qBittorrent do the following: +

+ +

+ In addition, the Download Central Info page now includes MD5 and file size info. +

+

+ Next release: v3.9.1 +

+ Release: v3.8.1.1 (2016-07-31 19:30 Sun) +

+

+ The PC version is a minor release. It fixes a bug with "invalid title" when clicking on the left-hand sidebar. +

+

+ The Android version is a minor release. It fixes a random crash when restarting the app while downloading wikis +

+

+ (Wiki) Publish 2016-07 Arabic Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and Wikinews +

+

+ The 2016-07 versions of the Arabic wikis are up. You can get them through Download Central. +

+

+ (PC) Fix "invalid title" when clicking on wikis in left-hand nav +

+

+ This was kindly reported by markusmaresch in https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/73 . Basically, clicking on a wiki in the left-hand sidebar would fail with "invalid title". This was due to some changes I made with the UI in a recent release. +

+

+ v3.8.1 fixes the issue +

+

+ (PC) Minor wikibase update for "renderSnaks" +

+

+ Wikidata (www.wikidata.org), or "Wikibase", is a continually evolving project. French Wikipedia started using two new methods recently: renderSnaks and renderSnak. I added support for these calls in this release. I also cleaned up some Wikibase code. +

+

+ (Android) Fix random failure when restarting XOWA while downloading wikis +

+

+ A helpful anonymous user forwarded me a crash report for XOWA Android. Sometimes, XOWA Android would fail to restart when in the process of downloading wikis from Download Central. This was broken since the initial release of Download Central. +

+

+ This fix was pushed out by a separate Play Store release last week. It is included formally in the apk-build now. +

+

+ Next release: v3.8.2 +
