The PC version is a major release. It adds support for personal wikis.
</p>
<p>
The Android version has no release.

A user was kind enough to suggest supporting personal wikis. These are standalone wikis that are entirely created and edited by a user. A reddit thread was created and there looks like there's some interest in the worldbuilding community:

</li>
</ul>
<p>
To use it, do the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
From the Main Menu, do <code>Personal wikis</code> -&gt; <code>New personal wiki</code>
</li>
<li>
Fill out domain, name, folder
</li>
<li>
Press the <code>Save icon</code>
</li>
<li>
Experiment in the new wiki
</li>
</ul>
<p>
I've used the XOWA home wiki as a personal wiki for over three years, and find it useful. Hopefully others will as well.

<p>
There were basically two minor changes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
A <code>minus icon</code> to remove items from the Available list.
</li>
<li>
Moving items between the list add them back to the correct spot (instead of at the bottom of the list)
</li>
</ul>

<b>Shrinking XOWA wikis</b>: I'll also release a deletion database for 2017-02 English Wikipedia. The final size of images should be around 92 GB

This was a minor request made by Ope30 also. Pages will now show the Creative Commons footer at the bottom of the page. I also redesigned the footer as well.
