+ 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 +
++ The Android app is also a major release. It shows more tables, heiroglyphics, and images with a ? in title. +
++ The 2016-01-13 dump had many erros in the reference section due to bugs in Luaj. One of the following would be displayed: +
++ These were bugs in Luaj with the frontier pattern and multi-byte chars. They were both resolved in this release. +
++ I'm extremely thankful for this report at https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/38 There were HTML issues in German Wikipedia because all the wikis rely implicitly on American formatting rules for decimals. For example: +
+width:{{#expr:18*{{{Breite}}} }}em;. See: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vorlage:Sitzverteilung/&action=edit
+ + XOWA was doing this multiplication using the user's locale. +
+18*.9 was calculated correctly as 16.2
+ 18*.9 was calculated incorrectly as 162.
+ .9 using German number-format rules. Since "." is the thousands separator, and "," is the decimal separator, .9 became 9. For US users, imagine ,9 becoming 9.
+ + v3.1.5 fixes this issue by asserting that all decimal-parsing is done in the US locale. +
++ 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. +
++ The Wikipedia Mobile app deliberately hides navboxes as well as other tables. I think this is done for the following reasons: +
++ 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 +
++ 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. +
++ 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. +
++ The early versions of the XOWA Android app did not show hieroglyphics. This is now supported in this build +
++ This was a bug wherein images that had a ? were not being displayed within the Android WebView. I fixed this by replacing ? with %3F. +
++ 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 +
++ 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) +
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. diff --git a/download.html b/download.html index ec0cfb961..d54af9392 100644 --- a/download.html +++ b/download.html @@ -21,37 +21,37 @@
