++ This has been a bug for a few months, but I had misdiagnosed it as bad Module code. Basically, non-English wikis would copy-paste the same Module:Location_map code in to their wikis. This failed to work in XOWA, because: +

+ + This basically broke location maps in non-English wikis. I should have caught this earlier, but the first few I looked at were all bad usages (no location coordinates passed). +
++ v2.11.2 now uses the canonical name just like MediaWiki. +
+
+ I think this is also a recent bug, but I can't track down the actual cause. MediaWiki has inconsistent logic for trimming whitespace around template and link arguments. The one at issue was a piece of code like {{TemplateName| B\n }}. On my local version of MediaWiki (1.25.2), it doesn't trim the "\n " after the B and creates a <pre> section. However, on Wikipedia, it does trim the whitespace and does not create a <pre> section.
+
+ I think this behavior changed recently, but couldn't find the actual line of code in MediaWiki. For now, XOWA will automatically trim end whitespace for all template arguments. In my opinion this is more intuitive behavior anyway. +

++<div class="floatleft">a</div><p>a1</p><div class="floatleft">b</div><p>b1</p> ++

Otherwise, next week's v2.10.2 will have more changes. I'll also resume generating wikis from the list below.
-- v2.9.4 is a very light release. It has a few minor fixes. Most of my time this week was spent on Chinese / Serbian translation. -
-- There is only one change worth more detail. I was using default values for Wikidata date precision which caused Script Error's to show on a few dozen Hungarian pages. -
-- These wikis are available at https://archive.org/details/Xowa_huwiki_latest and https://archive.org/details/Xowa_thwiki_latest -
-- For images, I'm going to work on Serbian, Malay, Hebrew and Bulgarian -
-- For development, I'm going to introduce the the Chinese / Serbian language translation. -
-
-
-
- v2.9.3 is another light release. It has a few fixes for Chinese wikis. -
-- Wikimedia changed their url format for CSS resources this week. Previously it used to be "//simple.wikipedia.org/w/...". Now it is just "/w/..." Unfortunately, since XOWA didn't handle relative-style urls, the CSS files weren't being downloaded for new wikis. This is fixed now. -
-- After building the images for the Chinese wikis, I noticed that there were issues with blank message boxes and blank reference text. It turned out that these were broken by the language dropdown back in v2.8.1. I spent a good deal of time fixing these issues, but realized that the current implementation of variant handling (-{zh-hans:text}-) needs to be rewritten. -
-- The current version is much better than the last version, but there are still some changes that need to be done. -
-- I spent a good deal of time reorganizing the main XOWA project codebase. In particular, XOWA had a lot of extra "Source Folders" in addition to "src". These folders arose from the C# to Java conversion and C# having a broader scope for a non-public class than Java (in C#, non-public classes can be seen by classes across namespaces). -
-- Source code cleanup is an ongoing process, but this should make a substantial difference. -
-- These wikis were fairly straightforward. See https://archive.org/details/Xowa_ptwiki_latest https://archive.org/details/Xowa_rowiki_latest and https://archive.org/details/Xowa_idwiki_latest -
-- For images, I'm going to work on Hungarian, Thai and Serbian. -
-- For development, I'm going to put the Math parser to the side and work on rewriting the Chinese / Serbian language translation -
-
-
-
- v2.9.2 is another light release. It has a few minor parser changes. -
-- These updates were uploaded to https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest and https://archive.org/details/Xowa_zhwiki_latest . I'm still uploading English now, but it should be there in the morning. -
-- I made a few minor parser changes to handle articles in Romanian, Turkish and Finnish wikis. -
-- For images, I'm going to work on Indonesian, Romainian and Portuguese. -
-- For development, I'm still working on the Math parser and some infrastructure items. -
-
-
-
- v2.9.1 is a light release. It adds a new Graph extension. -
-- MediaWiki recently began incorporating a new Javascript-centric extension for making graphs. They only show up on a few pages, but I wanted to make sure XOWA handled them before they show up on more. -
-- I ended up removing the Mac OS X DMG. The main problem is that future updates (for example v2.9.1) would actually overwrite any existing wikis. I'll reinstate the DMG at a future release, but I'll need to make some XOWA changes to allow customized user wiki folders. -

- v2.8.5 is a light release. It includes a DMG for Mac OS X and moves the images from /user/anonymous/app to /bin/any/xowa/file -
-- I spent some time putting together a DMG file for Mac OS X. For now, it's only for 64-bit versions (Snow Leopard and up). -
-- These updates were uploaded earlier this week to https://archive.org/details/Xowa_ukwiki_latest and https://archive.org/details/Xowa_fiwiki_latest . -
-- I was planning to upload German, but Wikimedia kicked off a new cycle over the weekend. I'll review German this week and upload accordingly -
-- I moved all files and images out of the "/user/" file hierarchy. Basically, I'm planning to reduce "/user/" to only a few files or directories. CSS files will probably be moved out within the next few months as well. -
-- For images, I'm going to continue image updates with German, Turkish and Indonesian. -
-- For development, I plan to keep v2.9.1 light, so will work on either Android or other long-running items -
-
-
-
- v2.8.4 is a light release. It supports 7 new Wikimedia wikis and has some Firefox addon fixes. -
-- Persian wikis are at https://archive.org/details/Xowa_fawiki_latest and Bengali wikis are now at https://archive.org/details/Xowa_bnwiki_latest . Persian is still uploading but should be ready by the morning. -
-- This was reported in https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/21 . Basically, there were 7 new Wikimedia wikis with inconsistent language codes. For example, ar.wikimedia.org was not for Arabic Wikimedia, but for Argentinian Wikimedia. Unfortunately, this required some rewrite of the url code as XOWA assumed that the language codes were consistent: for example, "ar." always meant Arabic. -
-- There were a few issues with images not loading and sidebar links not working. See https://github.com/piotrex/XOWA-Addon/issues/2 and https://github.com/piotrex/XOWA-Addon/issues/3 -
-- For this week, I'm going to continue image updates with Ukrainian, German and Finnish. -
-- I spent some time on Math parsing this week, and may continue on this for next week. I'll try to work in some Android dev, as the alpha hasn't been updated for 2 months now. -
-- v2.8.3 is a significant release, but mostly from an infrastructure point-of-view. It has several application startup and deployment changes. It also has an update for English Wikipedia 2015-08-05 -
-- The update itself contains about 157,000 new images. I'm posting v2b tonight and will post v2a and v1 over the next few days. See [[Help:Set up English Wikipedia#File databases: v1, v2a and v2b]] -
-- v2.8.3 has a number of application startup changes. The most noticeable one is a splash animation to show that XOWA is launching after you double-clicked the exe (or ran the sh). -
-- In addition, I added a "fatal error" window to give more information if XOWA fails to run because of SWT or XULRunner. -
-- Finally, I rebuilt xowa.exe with launch4j. Also, both exe's now support a standalone JRE. If you place a JRE in /xowa/bin/windows/java/jre , it will run on systems without java installed. -
-- Unfortunately, these changes aren't uniform across all operating systems. -
-- When v0.0.0 was first released, XOWA used text files for all its wikis. XOWA has since moved to sqlite3 databases in v0.7.1 but the home wiki still remained in the text file format. -
-- With v2.8.3, the home wiki now is in a sqlite3 format. This should be the start of a number of changes, including better namespaces (everything is in the Help namespace), a functioning Search, image support, and overall better editing. Also, the home wiki will soon be part of the Android Alpha app. -
-- v2.8.3 now deploys much fewer files to the /xowa/ root directory. This was done primarily to avoid confusion for new users, as well as general deployment aesthetics. All other files have been moved to elsewhere in the /xowa/bin/xowa/ hierarchy. See the Change Log for more details. -
-- For upgrade users, you can ignore these old files in the /xowa/ root directory or clean them up manually. You can also update your app by regenerating the XOWA root directory. See [[Help:Upgrading]] and "Upgrading by an xowa_app package and regenerating the XOWA root directory" -
-- v2.8.3 has one trivial Scribunto fix that caused "Script error" on about a dozen or so pages in English Wikipedia. -
-- Now that English Wikipedia images were finally released, I'm going to resume the long overdue backlog. I'm scheduling Ukraine, Persian and Bengali for this week. -
-- I did some Android development this week, and will work on Search support. I'll also work on any issues the new builds turn up, including one outstanding one for broken Math expressions on some pages: https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/10 -
-
-
-
- v2.8.2 is a light release. It has another attempt at a fix for the Windows 8.1 issue, and a bunch of minor fixes. -
-- There have been a number of reports of XOWA not working on Windows 8.1. See https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/13 and https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/14 -
-- I was able to get a loaner Windows 8.1, and was able to reproduce the issue. I tried various ways to fix it, but the only thing that worked was upgrading to SWT 4.6M1. I'm hoping it handles the Windows 10 error in http://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/discussion/general/thread/652c6303/ as well as other random reports -
-- If you're running Windows 8 or Windows 10 and it works, please drop by and comment on github or sourceforge -
-- While generating the 2015-07 images, I noticed a bunch of minor file issues. They affect something like 5,000 images (out of 4,000,000). These were fixed in this release, and will show up in the next image update -
-- There were a handful of minor fixes with wikibase, primarily revolving around date. -
-- Packages were delayed again this week. Part of this is related to the erratic Wikimedia dump server schedule. The other part was due to the file issues found during the English Wikipedia 2015-07 generation. -
-- I was planning to release the 2015-07 update today, but ran across a small issue. In addition, the dumps actually ran early this month, so I'm going to wait a week and release 2015-08 next week. At this point, I'll also regenerate all the other wikis, including Ukraine, Persian, Bengali, etc. -
-- I'm going to focus more on packages this week, with English Wikipedia being the main priority. If I have time, I'm going to work on the home database as well as Android. -
- -- Unfortunately, I uploaded non-working versions of the Windows 64-bit app yesterday. See https://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/discussion/general/thread/652c6303/ -
-- I uploaded a fixed application package for Windows 64-bit now: https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/download/v2.8.1.1/xowa_app_windows_64_v2.8.1.1a.zip -
-- I'm going to skip the update package for now. -
-- My apologies for the error. -
-- v2.8.1 now supports the language conversion dropdown for Chinese wikis. This enables users to switch between China, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan conversions for zh.wikipedia.org (as well as other zh.*.org wikis) -
-- Unfortunately, I discovered this doesn't work perfectly for Serbian wikis. I'll fix this in a future release, but if you're a Serbian user, you will have to manually use explicit conversion links. For example: sr.wikipedia.org/sr-ec and sr.wikipedia.org/sr-el -
-- Thanks to anonymous4 for reviewing and testing this feature. -
-- There were a few reports with XOWA not working on Windows 8.1. See: https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/14 . I don't have a Windows 8.1 box, but it looks like the issues were related to the recent upgrade to XULRunner 31. Although XULRunner 31 works fine on Windows 7 and Windows XP, it looks like it fails on Windows 8.1. I downgraded to XULRunner 24 and it looks like that should fix the issue. -
-- Thanks to anonymous#14 for helping me work through it. -
-- v2.7.2 introduced a bug wherein the Main_Page was incorrectly detected for some wikis. This affected uk.wikisource.org, zh.wikipedia.org, www.wikidata.org and several others. If you've imported a wiki and the wiki doesn't open, please try to import it again with v2.8.1 -
-- I discovered I accidentally disabled the build warning codes back in February. As a result, a number of minor Scribunto and Wikibase issues accumulated over the past few months. v2.8.1 resolves about 90% of these issues, though there are still a few more to go through. -
-- There were a lot of other minor fixes in v2.8.1. Most of these are parser related, but there are a few interesting items under the change section. Please have a look at the [[Help:Change log]] -
-- I delayed packages for another wiki due to all the parser issues (particularly the Wikibase ones). I'm going to resume with images for 2015-07 English Wikipedia as well as the still-delayed Ukraine, Persian and Bengali wikis. -
-- For v2.8.2, I'm going to make yet another attempt at converting the home wiki to a sqlite database. A new Android Alpha is still on the list as well. -
-
-
-
- I'm skipping the release this week. I'm working on getting the multi-language dropdown for Chinese and Serbian wikis (and any other wikis with variant languages). I ended up rewriting a lot of internal URL logic to support URLs like "zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/A" instead of "zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/A". I didn't have much time to work on anything else. -
-- I'll resume work on the other items for 2.8.1. -
-- As per https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/7 partial dumps were only importable for time zones west of Greenich Mean Time. v2.7.3.3 fixes it for all time zones. -
-- Yet another thanks to Anselm for working through this issue. -
-- Unfortunately, a change in v2.7.3.1 caused XOWA to download wikis from your.org for partial dumps. -
-- Thanks to Anselm for continuing on this issue. -
-- The old version of the Bookmarks page was a simple feature. It basically added bookmarks to the bottom of a wiki page. Unfortunately, it was part of the "home" wiki and used the old text database format. I needed to convert the home wiki for Android, but couldn't do it without breaking Bookmarks. -
-- As a result, v2.7.3 now has a new Bookmarks page. These entries get saved in the user database (J:\gplx\xowa\xowa.user.anonymous.sqlite3) . In addition, it supports HTTP Server mode. For more info, see [[Help:Bookmarks]] -
-- I didn't have time to add folder support for this release. I'm planning to add in the future, but it may wait until I can clear more Android tasks out of the way. If you want this feature, please create an issue at github . -
-- Also, many thanks to anonymous4 for assisting with the HTML and CSS. -
-- It turns out that MediaWiki allows pixel sizes in non-English numbers. For example [[File:A.png|۲۰۰px]] means 200px. Unfortunately, XOWA was interpreting this as no-image-size. -
-- v2.7.3 now supports non-English pixel sizes. -
-- There were a bunch of minor fixes. None of these are worth further explanation, so please take a quick look at the [[Help:Change log]] -
-- The new Bookmarks page uses more Javascript libraries. This includes jquery-ui for dragging and resizing as well as notifyjs for notification messages. I updated the existing jquery script to the latest version and also changed some of the core xowa ones. -
-- This will probably become more of a future trend. Future GUI features will appear in Javascript rather than SWT. SWT / XULRunner is sometimes finicky cross-platform, and difficult to debug / reproduce. Meanwhile, GUI features implemented in Javascript can easily be used by the XOWA GUI as well as HTTP Server and Android. -
-- I decided to wait on Ukraine, Persian and Bengali wikis one week in order to generate 2015-07 versions (instead of 2015-06). I'll be pushing them out over the course of this week. In addition, English Wikipedia should be completing this week, so I'm hoping to get it out as soon as possible. I'll then go on to German, French and Arabic afterwards. -
-- For v2.7.4, I'm going to move on to converting the home wiki to a sqlite database. Once that's done, I'll refresh the Android Alpha and try to add Bookmarks as well as bunch of other features. -
-- WMF is currently having problems with the XML data dumps. Unfortunately, it failed in a way to break auto-dump downloading in [[Import Online]]. Basically, the "latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2" file is being wiped out in the new multi-phase dump. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89273 and https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2015-July/001156.html -
-- v2.7.2 now goes back one dump month if the "latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2" is not there. In the case of Japanese Wikipedia, it does this: -
-- I uploaded new wikis for Spanish, Swedish and Japanese. -
-- This was noted in this github issue. Some non Wikimedia Foundation wikis such as Wikia wikis and the nethack wiki use extended string functions like {{#replace}}, {{#sub}}, {{#count}}, etc.. I ended up implemented these, as they were not difficult, and they are prevalent in a lot of MediaWiki installations. -
-- First, many thanks again to Mattze96 for the great HTTP server. It's been running fine for a year and a half, and been easy to patch. However, new features were needed for the HTTP server including: -
-- Due to the changes involved, a rewrite of the core was easier and than trying to patch the existing piece. The new HTTP server engine is still a work in progress, but it is stable enough to introduce. -
-- In addition, I fixed a bug with the Timeline javascript. For some reason, it failed in Firefox, but strangely not in XULRunner. Thanks to MDE for reporting it. -
-- There were a handful of minor parser changes. The most meaningful was support for the {{gender}} function as well as a fix for coordinates and a bad default value of "http:\\/\\/www.wikidata.org\\/entity\\/Q2". -
-- I was tempted to include the new Bookmarks page for v2.7.2, but I wanted to hold off and try to add some features such as bookmark folders and drag-and-drop. Unfortunately it's a blocking task for Android, as it stops me from adding the home wiki to Android. I'm going to try again to get it in for v2.7.3. I'll also work on a refresh of the Android Alpha. -
-- For dumps, I'm in a holding pattern until WMF resumes. See https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2015-July/001160.html . I'll try to update Ukrainian, Persian and Bengali as they are quite old, but I'm still holding off on English, German, French and Arabic. -
-- I finished uploading the files for English Wikipedia. Note that these files are just like the 2015-04 set, except that the max file size is 1.5 GB instead of 3 GB. Android can't use 3 GB files. -
-- Unfortunately, right now, there are 3 types of sets for English Wikipedia: v1, v2a and v2b. See [[Help:Set up English Wikipedia]] for more details. Users are strongly encouraged to download the new 2015-06 set (v2b), especially if they're going to use Android. However, I will continue to support monthly updates for v1 and v2a over the next year. -
-- For more information on setting up English Wikipedia, see [[Help:Android/Alpha]] -
-- XOWA droid can now run a complete version of English Wikipedia. Of course, I'll be making many more changes in the upcoming months. If you come across any bugs or have any suggestions, feel free to drop by and give me some feedback as per [[Help:Feedback]] -
-- v2.7.1 fixes some minor CSS generation issues. The main problem was due to Wikimedia replacing http with https. This would have caused new wikis to have blank logos in the upper left hand corner. If you have a blank logo, try the following (using Simple Wikipedia as an example): -
-simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
- - There were some minor Firefox Addon issues that primarily affected Linux versions of Firefox. The most significant one was that the "XOWA Home" button in the toolbar did not work. There were a few other url issues with clicking items in the sidebar. -
-- I tried to resume image database generation this week, but ran into a few snags. I make a handful of fixes to the image db generation. -
-- I spent most of the week on infrastructure for a new Bookmarks page that would work across XOWA versions of GUI, HTTP Server and Android. This UI infrastructure should also be the foundation for upcoming changes to the HTTP server as well as a future rewrite of the Options pages. I didn't want to release this for v2.7.1, but I will release it for v2.7.2. I'm also going to work on getting a new build of the Android Alpha with a few minor features. -
-
- I fell behind on dumps this weeks. I'm generating Finnish Swedish now, and will be uploading them during the week. Spanish should follow suit afterwards. Unfortunately, the Wikimedia dump servers look like they are having problems, so I may continue with refreshes of Japanese. Once the dumps resolve, I'll work on updates for English, German, French and Arabic.

-
- XOWA had been using 3-year old versions of SWT and XULRunner. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to update due to this SWT bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=429739 -
-- Fortunately, this was fixed in the SWT 4.5 major release. As such, I've upgraded both SWT and XULRunner. Although this is a major infrastructure change, it will have probably only three noticeable changes: -
-- For more information, see: [[Help:SWT]] [[Help:HTML Browser]] -
-- This was broken during the general database redesign in v2.4.3. XOWA was assuming that v1 image databases would have a format of "fsdb.atr.00.sqlite3". Instead some were "fsdb.atr#00.sqlite3". This only affects image databases from late 2013 and early 2014. -
-- For more information, see: https://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/discussion/defects/thread/11a01c27/ -
-- Also, thanks to William for patiently working with me to troubleshoot the issue. -
-- I had a minor snafu in uploading the English Wikipedia html dumps to archive.org. See: http://archive.org/post/1041291/item-does-not-have-metadata-https-ia902300usarchiveorg-editphpidentifierxowa_enwiki_latest However, I did get them uploaded. See [[Help:Android/Alpha]] -
-
- I created a new Special page for helping with general issues. For example, this will list all files in your English Wikipedia directory: home/wiki/Special:XowaDiag?type=fs.check&wiki=en.wikipedia.org
-
- Right now, it's pretty basic, and will change over the next few releases. -
-- I'm going to try to keep the next version stable, so I'll probably only work on XOWA droid items. However, I may add a new Bookmarks page for the HTTP server as well as Android. -
-- For dumps, a lot depends on the Wikimedia dump servers. I'd like to work on German, but would rather wait for an official "July" version. I'll probably rebuild Spanish and Finnish. -
-- In light of SourceForge aggressively taking ownership of other open-source projects, I've decided to move XOWA to github.com. -
-- I'm still in the process of transitioning the xowa.sourceforge.net website as well as other links, but plan to be fully off within a month. I'll still check the sourceforge discussion boards, as well as leave some links up for a period of time. But all future releases will be at https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases/ while discussions will be at https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/. -
-- As per this blog post, Wikimedia has started moving all traffic to https. Some of this seems to have been implemented during the past week. As a result, XOWA was failing in connections to the Wikimedia servers because it was using http. -
-- For v2.6.4, I updated the links to https. Image downloads (and api calls) now work. -
-- This was a long time in coming. The last good build was back in April. The main problem was that the dump server had been offline for all of May. There were also some XOWA issues, and I had to patch the new code to handle v2 as well as v1. -
-- Image updates are currently a little confusing. There are currently 2 versions of image databases for English Wikipedia. -
-- v1 is obsolete. I needed to make these changes for Android, as well as to simplify future deployments. I will still generate updates for it for the next year, but users are encourage to move over to a v2 series. -
-- I didn't get any of the planned changes done for this week, as both the table of contents and bookmarks were large items. I'm planning to work on them over the next few weeks. -
-- Instead, for v2.6.5, I'm planning to release new versions of SWT and XULRunner. This will bring XOWA a little up to date with recent Mozilla Firefox core changes, as well as take care of other defects (primarily, print page) -
-- For wikis, I'm going to upload the English Wikipedia HTML databases, and try to get German going as well. -
