The most important improvement is the integration/port of kiwix-serve
(our ZIM HTTP server) in the Kiwix UI for Windows, OSX and Linux. That
means that everybody is now able in a few clicks to share Wikipedia on
his LAN. We believe this could be a really practical feature, for
example in schools.

Although Kiwix is already really stable, we think we will need one or
two release candidates more. We want to improve a little bit the
file/profile/index managements, fix the broken CLucene fulltext backend
and a few other things.
