  22. So, I'm going to be skipping this week's release as well. The code is mostly done, but I had to rewrite a significant part last night, so I wanted to give it more time to burn in. Polish and Greek are still on hold, and they will be released after English.
  23. </p>
  24. <p>
  25. At this point, the new changes will be going live for v2.4.1. It's not ideal, but I'd rather have a more stable major than a possibly unstable minor one.

  30. <p>
  31. I'm skipping this week's release also. I've rewritten most of the code, but I wanted another week to do some more testing. I'm also skipping Polish and Greek, as I want to start releasing databases in the new format.
  32. </p>
  33. <p>
  34. I won't be skipping v2.3.5 as I'd like to introduce the new database layout in a minor release, rather than a major 2.4.1 one.

  38. </h2>
  39. <p>
  40. I'm skipping this week's release. I'm rewriting more of the database code to generate a single-file wiki. I'm also doing the same for files to generate a single-file database. I'm hoping this will help simplify deployment in the future - particularly for Android. The code is stable, but I want a little while longer to review the database scheme. Aside from that, I haven't run into any bugs, so there wouldn't be much point to releasing a work-in-progress.
  41. </p>
  42. <p>
  43. I did post the latest English Wikipedia images at <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_enwiki_latest</a> I also posted Finnish wikis at <a href="https://archive.org/details/Xowa_fiwiki_latest" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://archive.org/details/Xowa_fiwiki_latest</a>
  44. </p>
  45. <p>
  46. v2.3.4 will include the new database code. I'm also planning on updating Polish and Greek.
  47. </p>

  49. <span class="mw-headline" id="Release:_v2.3.2.1_.282015-03-08_20:44_Sun.29">Release: v2.3.2.1 (2015-03-08 20:44 Sun)</span>
  50. </h2>
  51. <p>
  52. v2.3.2.1 had some minor fixes. The most major fix was Wikisource not showing full content for non-English wikis. Unfortunately this was related to some of the infrastructural changes last week.
  53. </p>
  54. <p>
  55. I'm uploading the Italian wikis now, but they will probably not be ready until the morning. I'm going to hold off on Finnish until next week. I did make more progress in Android, and now have MathJax working.
  56. </p>
  57. <p>
  58. v2.3.3.1 will have Finnish wikis as well as the latest English wiki update. I'm also working on a single-file XOWA database. Other than that, I'll continue ahead with Android.

  62. </h2>
  63. <p>
  64. v2.3.1.1 had no real fixes. The Dutch and Latin wikis were rebuilt without any isses, though Latin is still uploading. There were substantial infrastructural changes, though hopefully I won't run into the same release problems from last week. In addition, I finally got a very alpha version of images working on the Android.
  65. </p>
  66. <p>
  67. v2.3.2.1 will have a rebuild of the Italian and Finnish wikis. I'll continue ahead on Android and try to get a more stable version.
