This <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaAppUpdate.html" id="xolnki_3" title="Special:XowaAppUpdate" class="xowa-visited">Special page</a> shows all pending updates.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Opening">Opening</span>
</h3>
<p>
Everytime this page is opened, it checks the XOWA site for updates: <a href="http://xowa.org/admin/app_update/xoa_update.db" rel="nofollow" class="external free">http://xowa.org/admin/app_update/xoa_update.db</a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
If updates are found, it downloads the descriptions, stores them offline, and shows it on the page
</li>
<li>
If no updates are found, it shows any offline descriptions
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Installing">Installing</span>
</h3>
<p>
If install is chosen, the following is done:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The appropriate package is chosen from from <a href="http://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/" rel="nofollow" class="external free">http://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/</a>.
<ul>
<li>
Note that XOWA will automatically choose the matching operating system package. (If you're running XOWA on GNU/Linux 64-bit it will automatically download a xowa_app_linux_64 package)
</li>
<li>
Note that the latest version will always be chosen for two reasons:
<ul>
<li>
The latest version is always the recommended version
</li>
<li>
Downgrading from a later version to an earlier version is not recommended. Downgrading will generally work, but it's not something that is ever tested.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
The package is downloaded and unzipped to C:\xowa\user\install\update
</li>
<li>
For each file in the install package:
<ul>
<li>
The corresponding old file will be deleted
</li>
<li>
The new file will be moved into the old file's place
</li>
<li>
Any old file that can't be deleted will be saved to a list
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
XOWA will then shutdown and launch a standalone update app. It will copy any old files that couldn't be deleted in the previous step
</li>
<li>
Once the standalone update app completes, it will launch XOWA
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Skipping">Skipping</span>
</h3>
<p>
This only applies to the auto-startup reminder (see the next section).
</p>
<ul>
<li>
By pressing the "Skip this update" button, the Special:XowaAppUpdate page will tempoarily stop reminding you automatically at startup.
</li>
<li>
However, once a new XOWA version is available, the Special:XowaAppUpdate page will resume launching automatically at startup.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Auto-startup_reminder">Auto-startup reminder</span>
</h2>
<p>
XOWA will check for updates every time the application starts. It does this in a two-step process:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
First, it checks online to see if any new updates have been released.
<ul>
<li>
By default, the time interval is set to 7 days. If XOWA has checked online for an update, it won't check again for another 7 days.
</li>
<li>
If you want to disable online check or change the interval, you can do so at <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaCfg%3Fgrp%3Dxowa.app.update.html" id="xolnki_4" title="Special:XowaCfg?grp=xowa.app.update" class="xowa-visited">the Options page</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Next, it will check offline to see any existing updates have not been applied.
<ul>
<li>
A list of offline updates are at C:\xowa\user\install\update
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If any updates are available, it will open the Special:XowaUpdate page
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Manual_updates">Manual updates</span>
</h2>
<p>
XOWA can always be updated manually:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
You can download the latest version from <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Help/Download_XOWA.html" rel="nofollow" class="external text">XOWA's download page</a>
</li>
<li>
You can view all available versions at <a href="http://localhost/github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">XOWA's Github page</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>

<p>
XOWA has a rapid release cycle, with a new version coming out every week. For more details, see <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Help/Release_schedule.html" id="xolnki_2" title="Help/Release schedule">Help/Release_schedule</a>.
</p>
<p>
XOWA releases frequently for a few reasons:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>MediaWiki updates frequently</b>: English Wikipedia and all the other Wikimedia wikis use a <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle" rel="nofollow" class="external text">continuous integration model</a>. These releases tend to come out very quickly with releases as often as every week. See <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/News" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/News</a> for an example of the release schedule
</li>
<li>
<b>XOWA is still young</b>: XOWA was only released in 2012-12-31. Although a lot of features have been added since then, there are still a lot of features to be added.
</li>
<li>
<b>Frequent release philosophy</b>: I personally prefer having frequent releases as opposed to larger infrequent releases. The former is more manageable, and keeps overall development nimble.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Upgrade_by_an_xowa_upgrade_package">Upgrade by an xowa_upgrade package</span>
</h2>
<p>
<code>xowa_upgrade</code> packages are produced with every release.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Upgrade_process">Upgrade process</span>
</h3>
<p>
To upgrade, do the following:
</p>
<p>
<b>Windows</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Download the "xowa_upgrade" exe for your operating system. For example, if you're on Windows with a 64-bit JVM and upgrading to v2.8.2, you would download xowa_upgrade_windows_64_v2.8.2.1.exe
</li>
<li>
Place the .exe in your xowa root directory. For example, if you're running XOWA by using <code>C:\xowa\xowa_64.exe</code>, then place xowa_upgrade_windows_64_v2.8.2.1.exe in <code>C:\xowa</code> so that the file name is <code>C:\xowa\xowa_upgrade_windows_64_v2.8.2.1.exe</code>
</li>
<li>
Double-click the "xowa_upgrade.exe". The upgrade is a self-extracting 7-zip exe and will unzip all files and place them in the correct locations. Among other things, you'll have a new xowa.jar file. For example, <code>C:\xowa\xowa_windows_64.jar</code> should show a recent date.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Linux / Mac OS X</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Download the "xowa_upgrade" zip for your operating system
</li>
<li>
Place the .zip in your xowa root directory. For example, if you're running Mac OS X by using <code>/Users/your_user_name/xowa/xowa_macosx_64.sh</code>, then place xowa_upgrade_macosx_64_v2.8.2.1.zip in <code>/Users/your_user_name/xowa/</code> so that the file name is <code>/Users/your_user_name/xowa/xowa_upgrade_macosx_64_v2.8.2.1.zip</code>
</li>
<li>
Extract the files. Note that depending on your unzip program, the file may be placed in a new sub-directory. For example, on Mac OS X, the files will be unzipped to a new folder called <code>/Users/your_user_name/xowa/xowa_upgrade_macosx_64_v2.8.2.1/</code>
</li>
<li>
Move the files from the extracted folder to the XOWA root folder. Overwrite any files in the process. For example, on Mac OS X, there will be a new file called <code>/Users/your_user_name/xowa/xowa_upgrade_macosx_64_v2.8.2.1/xowa_macosx_64.jar</code>. This should be moved to <code>/Users/your_user_name/xowa/xowa_macosx_64.jar</code> and overwrite the existing version.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Upgrade_shelf-life_of_4_weeks">Upgrade shelf-life of 4 weeks</span>
</h3>
<p>
A given upgrade will only work if your release is within the past 4 weeks. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
You start off with the v2.1.3 application.
</li>
<li>
v2.1.4 is released. You can use the v2.1.4 upgrade since your v2.1.3 release is 1 week old
</li>
<li>
v2.2.1 is released and you haven't upgraded anything. You can use the v2.2.1 upgrade since your v2.1.3 release is 2 weeks old.
</li>
<li>
v2.2.2 is released and you haven't upgraded anything. You can use the v2.2.2 upgrade since your v2.1.3 release is 3 weeks old.
</li>
<li>
v2.2.3 is released and you haven't upgraded anything. You can use the v2.2.3 upgrade since your v2.1.3 release is 4 weeks old.
</li>
<li>
v2.2.4 is released and you haven't upgraded anything. You can not use the v2.2.4 upgrade since your v2.1.3 release is 5 weeks old. You must get a new application package
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Once you upgrade, the 4-week window resets. You can perpetually upgrade XOWA in this fashion. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
You start off with the v2.1.3 application.
</li>
<li>
You upgrade when v2.2.3 is released. Your release will now be v2.2.3
</li>
<li>
You upgrade again when v2.3.3 is released. Your release will now be v2.3.3
</li>
<li>
You upgrade again when v2.4.1 is released. Your release will now be v2.4.1
</li>
<li>
And so on...
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Upgrade_issues_should_fallback_to_xowa_app_packages">Upgrade issues should fallback to xowa_app packages</span>
</h3>
<p>
If you have problems after using an xowa_upgrade package, try upgrading using an xowa_app package. I personally test xowa_app packages on both Windows and Linux for every release and these will always work. In addition, due to the nature of the build script, the application package is always guaranteed to have the latest changes.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Upgrade_by_an_xowa_app_package">Upgrade by an xowa_app package</span>
</h2>
<p>
You can also upgrade by downloading an xowa_app package and unzipping everything in the xowa root directory. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Download the "xowa_app" zip for your operating system
</li>
<li>
Place the .zip in your xowa root directory. For example, if you're running on Windows 64-bit by using <code>C:\xowa\windows_64.exe</code>, then place xowa_app_windows_64_v2.8.2.1.zip in <code>C:\xowa\windows_64\</code> so that the file name is <code>C:\xowa\windows_64\xowa_app_windows_64_v2.8.2.1.zip</code>
</li>
<li>
Extract the files. Note that depending on your unzip program, the file may be placed in a new sub-directory. For example, on Windows 64-bit, the files will be unzipped to a new folder called <code>C:\xowa\windows_64\xowa_app_windows_64_v2.8.2.1\</code>
</li>
<li>
Move the files from the extracted folder to the XOWA root folder. Overwrite any files in the process. For example, on Windows 64-bit, there will be a new file called <code>C:\xowa\windows_64\xowa_app_windows_64_v2.8.2.1\xowa_windows_64.jar</code>. This should be moved to <code>C:\xowa\windows_64\xowa_windows_64.jar</code> and overwrite the existing version.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Note that you can always just upgrade using the <code>xowa_app</code> package. The <code>xowa_upgrade</code> packages are provided because they are generally 5 to 10 times smaller than the application packages.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Upgrade_by_an_xowa_app_package_and_regenerating_the_XOWA_root_directory">Upgrade by an xowa_app package and regenerating the XOWA root directory</span>
</h2>
<p>
You can also do an upgrade by renaming your existing XOWA root directory and unzipping a new app package in the same directory. For example, assuming a Windows system with XOWA in <code>C:\xowa</code>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Rename the <code>C:\xowa</code> folder to <code>C:\xowa-old</code>
</li>
<li>
Download an app package and unzip it to <code>C:\xowa</code>
</li>
<li>
Move the following directories from <code>C:\xowa-old</code> to <code>C:\xowa</code>
