There is no new release for the desktop app. I'm still making major changes to the Search system and need more time for review.
</p>
<p>
The Android app is a major release. The major change is a faster search system. To get it, do the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Download the new Android apk: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/tag/v3.3.1.1" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/tag/v3.3.1.1</a>
<ul>
<li>
Note: I changed the application ID, so make sure you remove the old XOWA app, or you will have 2 XOWA apps. If you do end up with 2 of them, remove both, and reinstall v3.3.1.1 again
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Download the new core English Wikipedia files (1.6 GB): <a href="https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-02-04_html_core_v2.7z" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest/Xowa_enwiki_2016-02-04_html_core_v2.7z</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Here is a brief summary of the advantages:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Better performance: Search is much quicker. One word searches should come back subsecond and multiple words should come back in a few, with initial results coming back in the first second
</li>
<li>
Better ranking: Search now ranks results by <a href="/site/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank">page rank</a>. Previously, XOWA ranks by page length, which resulted in long "List of" articles appearing near the top.
</li>
<li>
Better search terms: Search now handles punctuation better. Searches can be done for "U.S.A." or "USA"; "dont't" or "dont"; "half-life" or "half" or "life".
</li>
</ul>
<p>
I'll explain these in greater detail in the next desktop release.
</p>
<p>
If you are using the Android beta, I strongly recommend you get this version. The new search is dramatically improved and well worth the effort.
