+
+ The 2016-07 versions of English Wikipedia is up. You can get them through Download Central.
+
+
+ For images, if you want the latest:
+
+
+
+ If you are a current user of 2016-06 English Wikipedia, you only need to download the 2016-07 Image Update to get the latest images.
+
+
+ If you are a brand new user, you will need to download 2016-06 and 2016-07 Images
+
+
+
+ For articles, if you want the latest:
+
+
+
+ Regardless of whether or not you're a current user or a brand new user, you will need to download the entire 2016-07 Articles. There is no incremental version of the articles dump, though I'd like to have one up by end of the year.
+
+
+
+ (Android) Add screen to change wiki location for Download Central
+
+
+ First, some background. XOWA Android tries to use the external SD card for downloading wikis. Unfortunately, this is not easy, as different devices may have different paths for the external SD card (it varies by Android version as well as by manufacturer). If XOWA doesn't guess correctly, then the wikis will be downloaded to internal memory
+
+
+ In v3.7.1, I added some logic to try to correctly detect the external SD card for one device (BLU on Android Lollipop). In the process, I ended up making the detection worse for other devices.
+
+
+ v3.7.4 attempts to fix this by reverting back to the previous detection strategy. In addition, I also included a new "folder selection" screen to manually choose the external SD card.
+
+
+ You can access this folder selection screen by clicking the "folder" icon in Download Central. Note that you will need to restart the app after you change the folder.
+
+
+ Note that you can always manually download the wiki from archive.org and import them using the "XOWA file browser". The "XOWA file browser" is available through the "folder" icon on the "XOWA" Wikis page.
+
+
+ (PC) Fix automatic deletion of pagelinks file
+
+
+ This was a minor bug with building wikis by command-line import for historical wikis (for example, English Wikipedia from 2016-01).
+
+
+ XOWA would automatically delete all .gz files after the wiki was built but before the search score was built. This deletion was part of some over-zelous cleanup which deleted all .gz files, not just those that have been used. The .gz-deletion crashed the command-line build because it caused the pagelinks file to be deleted before it was used.
+
+
+ I never caught this because I always work with the current dumps. For current dumps, the XOWA command-line script has a command (util.download) which automatically unzips the .gz file to .sql. The deleted .gz file didn't affect the build because the .sql file was available.
+
+
+ v3.7.4 now only deletes .gz file after it is used.
+
+
+ Next release: v3.8.1
+
+
+
+ Wikis: I'm going to do Arabic this week.
+
+
+ New HTML database generator: I've still been working on the HTML generator. It's about 95% there, but the last 5% is pretty hard. I'm hoping it will be ready for 2016-08 English Wikipedia
+
+
+ mwad support: This has slipped another week.
+
+
+ Redlinks for HTTP Server: This too has also slipped another week.
