<p>
Last week had a patch to handle Download Central not working after resume.
</p>
<p>
This release fixes another bug wherein tasks were only able to run one at a time. Now multiple tasks can be added to the queue. I tested this week with the English wikis and loading all the tasks.
</p>
<p>
In addition, this week has a few other notable items:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Download Central for HTTP Server</b>: This uses a new long-polling mechanism to capture progress updates
</li>
<li>
<b>Download Central CSS for Mac OS X</b>: Safari needed a few CSS tweaks.
</li>
<li>
<b>Download Central Info page</b>: This page offers more data on each task, including download links (for use in your download manager)
</li>
</ul>

<p>
Last week had a few patches to handle HTML databases not working for old archive.org wikis.
</p>
<p>
This week has a few new features:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Redlinks</b>: Missing links to pages now show up as red links. Note that this doesn't work on HTTP Server yet.
</li>
<li>
<b>Timeline</b>: Timeline now works again for Android. Also, it has been added to HTML databases.
</li>
<li>
<b>Gallery</b>: Gallery now has better support on the PC. Images used to line up vertically: one underneath each other. Now they line up horizontally in rows.
</li>
</ul>

</h3>
<p>
There are a handful of fixes here:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Flag icons sometimes not showing</b>: This had to do with some inintuitive usage of a Module called Flagg. It relied on a failed template to return back the entire text of the text. XOWA was only returning the title.
</li>
<li>
<b>Some missing pages in Wikisource due to tag and apostrophe</b>: The {{tag}} function was not being parsed correctly if it had apostrophes.
</li>
<li>
<b>Incorrect redlinks for known pages in Wiktionary</b>: This was another similar issue wherein missing pages should come back as just the title name. XOWA was adding "Template:"
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Unfortunately, parser bugs are still part of the HTML dumps in the 2016-06 versions. They will be fixed in 2016-07 and beyond.
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Next_release:_v3.7.1">Next release: v3.7.1</span>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Table of contents</b>: HTML databases on the PC will get a TOC just like the Wikitext version
</li>
<li>
<b>Gallery</b>: Gallery still needs a few changes, particularly to handle packed galleries, as well as other custom-sized galleries.
</li>
<li>
<b>Redlinks for HTTP Server</b>: I'm going to try adding the new long-polling facility to the HTTP Server for redlinks
</li>
<li>
<b>Wikis</b>: I'm redoing German and adding them to Download Central.
