hi, would it be possible to have a second upload to google play store called "kiwix beta" to allow easier testing of new features. advantages: * no relaxing of the android phone security to install an apk from untrusted source * easy state the new features on the play page * automatic update notification to people interested in testing the new version rupert.

The most important fixes/improvements are: * Global improvement of kiwix-serve * Better data structure (easier to move data files) ... complete changelog is available here: http://changelog.kiwix.org We really need testers to verify that we don't have some regressions and that new features work correctly.

download or create a book on android-4.1, chrome, not possible
by rupert THURNER 20 Dec '13

hi, sorry for crossposting this, but i am a little lost whom to ask. erik mentioned some time ago how important zim support is in collections, and mentioned that there are barely downloads. very rarely i get my hands on a new enought android version where kiwix runs. and i tried to (1) create a book, and (2) download a book. both failed. 1. create a book the mobile skin is lacking the "book" or "add page to book" link. calling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Book does not help either, there is no obvious way to add pages to a book. 2. download a book go to a book like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Books/Derivatives. the mobile skin again is broken and the download link is crippled. if one is lucky to hit the zim download link anyway, it switches over to a non-mobile link to generate the book. it really seems to generate the book, and displays a link. clicking it then downloads a 6.5 mb big "index.php" and says "failed". you have any idea what i do wrong? rupert.
