The 2016-07 versions of the French Wikis are up. You can get them through <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaDownloadCentral.html" id="xolnki_10" title="Special:XowaDownloadCentral" class="xowa-visited">Download Central</a>.

I discovered that HTML databases didn't support redirects. So, if page "A" was a redirect to page "B", going to page "A" opened up a blank page.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
With v3.7.3.1, going to page "A" now redirects correctly to page "B".

</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There were a number of minor Table of Contents (TOC) issues where clicking on the TOC would not scroll down to the correct header section.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
They fell into 3 categories:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
TOC items with a <br/>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
TOC items wherein two were a duplicate and a third was a duplicate with a " 2" suffix. For exampe: 2 sections both titled "Example" and 1 section titled "Example 2"
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
TOC items with a reference or other structural html (list; table; etc)
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is also a notable entry for Wikivoyage Pagebanner items which also generates a TOC, but embedded in the page banner image.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The fix for all this turned out to be surprisingly complicated and took up a good deal of time this week. They will only work for all Wikitext wikis, and all HTML wikis generated after this week.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that aside from the Wikivoyage item, the other TOC items probably affect < .1% of all pages.

The PC version is a major release. It fixes a breaking change for importing 2016-07 wikis. It also adds Table of Contents for HTML databases, fixes an HTTP server bug, and includes mwad -- a new utility for creating XML dumps

The Android version is a minor release. It handles the new 2016-07 wikis and the Table of Contents support.

I fell behind on French wikis this week while waiting for the new month's dumps. French Wikipedia is uploading now, and the rest will be generated and uploaded during the week.

2016-07 English Wikipedia failed to import. This was due to the categorylinks.sql file and some specific SQL parsing in XOWA.

This was kindly reported by ve3lst in <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/68" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/68</a> I broke images for Wikitext databases back in v3.6.4.3.

v3.7.2.1 now generates Table of Contents for HTML databases on the PC. Note that this only affects new wikis such as Haitian and French. The 2016-07 version of English Wikipedia will have them when I release it next week. I'll redo German Wikipedia later to include this as well.

<p>

For those who are unaware, Mattze96 was the amazing developer who contributed the original HTTP Server code. This time, Mattze96 contributed mwad: the MediaWiki API dump tool. This tool allows creating XML dumps for Wikia and other wikis (<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://wiki.archlinux.org/</a>).

If you use XOWA for Wikia wikis, or other non-Wikimedia wikis, you definitely want to try it out.

There are two issues here:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Scribunto failure due to wikibase-item</b>: On a low level, XOWA was using the term "wikibase-entityid". Instead, it should have been "wikibase-item". This was causing an error in Scribunto that generated script errors on many ht.w pages
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>species.wikimedia.org links were not showing in the "In Other Languages" section</b>: This is a fairly minor issue. XOWA shows "In other languages" at the bottom of the page. Due to a change in 3.6.4.1, links to species.wikimedia.org were not showing

This fix was reported in <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/64" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/64</a> and <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/65" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/65</a>

I broke then multiple-word search function when tweaking the search algorithm to reduce the importance of shorter pages. This bug affected 2016-05 wikis and earlier. I missed it because I'm working on 2016-06 wikis.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I put a fix in now and tested with a 2016-05 copy of English Wikipedia.

On the PC, the HTML databaes showed Galleries vertically and with incorrect styles (no gray border box).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This build fixes some galleries for the existing 2016-06 wikis. Unfortunately, the other galleries can only be fixed in the next HTML dump: 2016-07 and beyond.

There are basically two types of fixes:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Show error when downloading</b>: A user reported intermittent problems with download central: <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/63" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/63</a> . A little later in the week, I discovered archive.org can sometimes drop a connection after a few hours. In these cases, XOWA would just stop without any indication. This version prints status messages to the screen, and also allows the user to resume
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Android would sometimes time out</b>: Android sometimes stops XOWA while downloading. This version allows XOWA to keep Android awake (WAKE_LOCK) until downloads finish.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There were a number of fixes for crashes in uncommon scenarios. Most of these involved switching SD cards, or deleting wikis outside XOWA. The crash was bad enough such that XOWA would not work unless the Storage files were cleared (or XOWA was reinstalled).

These are fixed in this version. For more info, see the <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Change_log.html" id="xolnki_13" title="Change log">Change log</a>
