[KIWIX] Maintenance release 2.5 for Android

by Emmanuel Engelhart

Hi Last week we have released Kiwix for Android 2.5. This is a maintenance release, so no new feature, but we have fixed almost 50 bugs around the library and the download manager. As a result, the software is a lot more stable. You can install the last version from the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kiwix.kiwixmobile Or download the APK: https://download.kiwix.org/release/kiwix-android/2.5.1/ This is only the beginning of a strong effort the Kiwix project (with the help of the Wikimedia Foundation) is putting on our Android ZIM reader. Kiwix for Android 3.0 is next on the schedule and is planned for this summer. Stay tuned!

Kiwix Hotspot maintenance release 2.0.7

by Emmanuel Engelhart

Hi We have released a few days ago a new Kiwix Hotspot version called 2.0.7. Here is the changelog (since my last Kiwix Hostpot release annoucement on this mailing list): 2.0.7 * fixed size evaluation for KA-lite * removed leftovers files on cards after use (kalite, aflatoun lang packs) 2.0.6 * fixed regression (not launching) by reverting to previous pygobjects version 2.0.5 * Added raspberryPi version to version.<fqdn> page * Fixed KAlite installation not working (regression) * KA lite doesn't require manual language selection anymore * Aflatoun lite doesn't require manual language selection anymore * Updated master (06/06/2019) As a reminder, Kiwix Hotspot is probably the easiest solution to create your offline WiFi library running on Raspberry Pi. Whatever your operating system (Windows/MacOS/Linux) is, even if you have no technical skills, you can in a few clicks create a ready-to-use micro SD card for your Raspberry-Pi.
