Dear list members,
I am pleased to announce the release of WP-MIRROR 0.5.
The main design objective was this: WP-MIRROR 0.5 should be `feature
complete'. It is now deemed beta-ware. Examples of new features are:
Concurrency: Adding, building, and dropping wikipedias from the
mirror can now we done concurrently. The main use case is this:
During the build of the default `simple' wikipedia, one may add
additional wikipedias to the mirror.
Images: WP-MIRROR 0.5 does a more thorough job of identifying image
files to be downloaded.
Interwiki links: If the mirror has two or more wikipedias, then
Interlanguage links now appear in the Navigation Bar. That is, when
browsing an article in one wikipedia, the link to the corresponding
article in the other wikipedia appears in the Navigation Bar, so that
the user can readily switch between the two.
Packaging: The DEB package for WP-MIRROR 0.5 should work
`out-of-the-box' with no user configuration for the following
distributions:
o Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (wheezy)
o Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal)
Virtual Host: URL has been changed to <http://simple.wpmirror.site/>.
Consistency of naming was the motivation.
The web page <http://www.nongnu.org/wp-mirror/> has been updated.
Feedback is welcome.
Sincerely Yours,
Dr. Kent L. Miller
