Hi again,
I am in Berlin today and got my answers first hand, so for the record,
here they are:
(2a) If the answer to (1) is no: what are/will be
the first (or last)
full/current/daily dump files that use the new format?
I did not get an answer to this question,
It looks like
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20140823/ uses the
new format, although these dumps started before the format switch and ended
after. There's a possibility that they have some strange mix of both
formats. (?)
Next full xml dumps will have the new format. Switch for daily dumps
should have been on August 27.
Cheers,
Katie
but since it is certain that each file is in a single format, a viable
strategy is to parse with the new format first; if
there are errors, try
parsing with the old format; if this succeeds even once, the whole
remaining file should be parsed in the old format.
(2b) If the answer to (1) is yes: what is the
revision number at which
the change was made (i.e., what is the largest revision number that is
still in the old format)?
Not applicable.
Markus
