The PC version is a minor release. It fixes parsing issues for 2018-07 English Wikipedia
</p>
<p>
The Android version is a trivial release. It updates the list of wikis for Download Central.

<p>
There were a handful of parsing issues with English and German Wikipedia. In brief:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Graph: Support v2 (some pages can only be viewable in HTTP_Server; EX: en.w:Obesity)
</li>
<li>
Wikibase: Add isValidEntityId and getSetting
</li>
<li>
Scribunto: Add stripNoWiki
</li>
<li>
Scribunto: Return empty string for invalid languages
</li>
<li>
Scribunto: Add better support for balanced pairs
</li>
<li>
Parser: Cache ifexist calls
</li>
</ul>

<p>
I've recently changed jobs and expect to be spending a bit of time adjusting. I'll continue to update English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia, though it looks like a quarterly schedule.

The PC version is a minor release. It fixes parsing issues for 2017-12 English Wikipedia and 2017-12 German Wikipedia.
</p>
<p>
The Android version is a trivial release. It updates the list of wikis for Download Central.

<p>
It's been slow recently, as only the above two wikis were published. You can get them from Download Central or see the following links:

<p>
There were a handful of minor parsing issues with English and German Wikipedia. In brief:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Wikibase: Add support for getBestStatements and getEntityUrl
</li>
<li>
JsonConfig: Add support for JsonConfig
</li>
<li>
Luaj: Parse '-' as nil not 0
</li>
<li>
ParserFunctions: Parse relative months like '1-12-2001 -1 month'
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Next_release_2">Next release</span>
</h3>
<p>
The schedule has still been slow recently. I've been looking at migrating XOWA to a Chrome / Node.js platform, since Mozilla / XULRunner is pretty much deprecated. As this will take several months, I think new releases will primarily be focused on fixing parsing issues as well as wiki releases.
