v1.10.3 was a straightforward release. Most of this had to do with 2014-10-03 English Wikipedia dump being relatively uneventful (unlike the last few monthly dumps). Vietnamese and Lithuanian were also straightforward, though a few pages in Vietnamese Wikisource forced a rewrite of the XOWA poem parser. In addition, due to the similarity of the <code>lt</code> and <code>li</code> language codes, I ended up doing Limburgish by mistake. However, it was small enough to upload anyway. In the meantime, I plugged away at the Android app, and have a bare-bones prototype for Simple Wikipedia.

I was able to do a full parse of all the English Wikipedia pages, and the new JTidy jar helped me discover a few minor issues in the Wikipedia namespace.

For v1.6.3, I'm planning to work on more JTidy related changes.

XOWA now has a basic full-text search feature. It should only be used for small wikis (like a personal wiki). It works by opening up every single page and searching for the text phrase. Although this sounds slow, it performs relatively quickly on modern generation machines (especially if you have a SSD). It also has the advantage of not taking up any space for search-indexing.

<p>
There were a bunch of parser fixes with 2017-04 English Wikipedia. For more detail, see the change log. In summary, they revolve around the following items:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Better support for UNIQ to handle "convert invalid number" and chart issues
</li>
<li>
Fixes for Wikibase and geocordinates as well as #statements
</li>
<li>

</h3>
<p>
In addition, there were also a few significant fixes to handle English Wiktionary:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
French conjugation tables when Lua scripts use a function for replacing, but sometimes return nil
</li>
<li>
Chinese glyph tables due to Luaj and lack of BMP (1 codepoint; 2-char) support
</li>
<li>
Russian parts of speech issues due to over-eager inclusiong of all matches for ustring.match
</li>
</ul>

<p>
I'm still adjusting to the new work schedule, so time has unfortunately been limited. I also spent a good deal of this month working on parser issues, especially for English Wiktionary.
</p>
<p>
I'm working on releasing more wikis with full-text search indexes. The English Wikis should be available sometime this weekend, with German and others following. The next release will probably come in late May and probably focus only on parser issues.

XOWA development will be undergoing some changes in the coming months. As of tomorrow, I'll be starting a new job, and consequently, I won't be able to give as much time to XOWA as before. In fact, few people know this, but I spent the past year working full-time on XOWA. So, strictly by numbers, XOWA is going to go from a 60-80 hour per week schedule to something much less.
