I've also started rewriting the Android database serialization to be more compressible.

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.

Most of my time for the v1.9.4 release was spent on wikidata. As mentioned earlier, the latest wikidata dump introduced a brand new schema. More interestingly, the dump had articles in both the old schema (Q933) and the new schema (Q2). I had to rewrite a good deal of XOWA"s wikidata parser to handle two schemas, as well as implement the new schema. This took up most of my time for the v1.9.4 release, and I'm still not really done.

For v1.9.5, I'm going to focus on finishing up wikidata issues. Primarily, the wikidata.js page doesn't work for the new schema (navigating to Q2 will show a lot of errors). I'm also going to try to add better qualifier / reference support. In addition, there will probably be a handful of minor English Wiki issues that will take some time. Aside from English Wiki, I'll try to do the Waray-Waray wikis, but that may end up spilling over to the following week.

The v1.8.2 update is larger than usual. I had to regenerate the language files because MediaWiki v1.24 added "!" as a magic word and German Wikipedia dropped Template:!. Since this was a low-level change, it forced a rebuild of all the language files. I also took the opportunity to move the language files from <code>/xowa/user/anonymous/lang/xowa/</code> to <code>/xowa/bin/any/xowa/cfg/lang/core/</code>. I also did the same for <code>/xowa/user/anonymous/wiki/#cfg/</code> to <code>/xowa/bin/any/xowa/cfg/wiki/core/</code>

v1.7.4 was mostly about the ImageMap extension. It took quite a bit of time, but I think the end result was worthwhile -- particularly with Popups. You can check the urls listed in the Change Log. I also added some "popup-at-anchor" functionality, though this will be limited until XOWA starts generating full html pages. In addition, there were some more Scribunto changes -- this time with Wikibase. I added a few minor UI changes in order to make "startup-from-previous-session" the default. I also went through the Ukrainian and Greek wikis. Finally, I uploaded the "slimmer" English Wikipedia set.

v1.7.3 had more follow-up Scribunto changes. These affected only a handful of pages (less than 50 out of 4.5 million). I think I'm done with the latest Scribunto changes, and hopefully the next changes won't be as traumatic. In addition there were two notable fixes: missing references due to lower-alpha, and excessive ampersands on some math pages. I added a few UI options, including the set-startup-page option. Hebrew wasn't as difficult as I expected, though it still involved a few changes.

v1.7.2 was quite a release. I downloaded the latest enwiki, and found a whole host of issues due to recent changes in Scribunto. As a result, there were <b>a lot</b> of changes to XOWA's Scribunto for this release. Hopefully I've caught all the major issues. In addition, I started working on XULRunner 24, but was diverted to some memory performance issues. Also worth mentioning is an important item for certain non-English wikis: case-insensitive UTF-8 lookups. The latter was especially time-consuming for a language like Turkish, which has asymmetric casings: <code>İ</code> lowercases to <code>i</code> but <code>i</code> uppercases to <code>I</code>. Fortunately, in comparison to the above, Swedish and Malay were easy to do.

For v1.7.3, I still need to do some additional cleanup in the wake of all the Scribunto changes from last week. In addition, I'm going to do another images update, and hopefully I'll be able to do a smaller English Wikipedia images dump size. For wikis, I'm going to try to do Hebrew, but that may spill over to the following week (I'm always nervous with RTL wikis).

v1.7.1 was more interesting than I expected. The Russian wikis had the expected Scribunto issue, but Serbian had a whole host of issues related to <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_systems" rel="nofollow" class="external text">variants</a>. I added a good deal of basic support, though I'm sure there are still some items missing. If any Serbian users can report any actual errors in articles, I'd greatly appreciate it.

For v1.7.2, I'm planning to makes some more non-English wiki related changes, thanks to some of the Russian wiki changes from last week (particularly, case-insensitive lookups for UTF-8 characters). I'm going to look at upgrading XOWA from XUL Runner 10 to 24, now that SWT 4.4 is officially relesed. I'm also going to try again to look at English Wikipedia images dump size. There'll probably be some GUI changes as well. For wikis, I'm going to do Malay and Swedish.

v1.7.1 will be a stable release, so I'm going to try to keep changes to a minimum. I'm planning to work on some performance enhancements to popups, in preparation for making it the default in v1.7.1. I will also go back to reducing the size of the English Wikipedia images dump. For wikis, I'm going to try Serbian and maybe Russian. If Russian is too difficult (they tend to be the most experimental with Scribunto), then I'll switch them with Swedish instead.

Due to some technical complication, I had to redo the English Wiki scan mid-week. As a result, I didn't get a chance to look at reducing the size of the dump.

v1.6.3 will shift focus a bit. The <a href="http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20140614/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">enwiki dump</a> finally started, and I'm going to try to change the update process to delete unused files. Enwiki is approximately 86.4 GB and has a turnover of 1 - 2 GB per month. If the unused images are deleted, I'm hoping to get back into the 70s, if not lower. I'm also going to explore an automated update option for these image databases. As most of my attention will be on enwiki this week, I'm going to skip generating wikis for other languages. Finally, I'm going to experiment with <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Hovercards" rel="nofollow" class="external text">Hovercards</a> in XOWA. If I'm lucky, I may be able to get something in for a v1.6.* release. Otherwise, it'll have to wait for XOWA HTML dumps.

With v1.6.2, I included a significantly different JTidy. I ported as many of the changes from tidy over to JTidy -- mostly in the various Parse classes. I still have more changes planned for JTidy, but hopefully the bulk of the compliance work has been done. 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. I also added a bunch of minor UI changes, including new privacy options and several Tab actions (Close Others, Undo Close Tab, Select by #)
