Hi
After almost two years since the last release, the new libzim is out:
http://www.openzim.org/download/zimlib-1.3.tar.gz
This new release brings a few improvements and bugs fixes:
* FIXED: zimdump crash with long filenames
* FIXED: few portability issues
* NEW: method to get real file offset of article in ZIM
* NEW: smarter article cluster building (+5% compression)
* NEW: one pass writing process (instead of two)
These improvements allow easier:
* new bindings (like node-libzim)
* new features of the ZIM format, like integrating the fulltext search index
* creation of more ZIM files (speed-up ZIM creation)
This improvements have been done by a few developers mostly during our
Kiwix hackathon @Wikimania Esino. This has been made possible with the
support of:
* Fondation Orange
* Wikimedia CH
* Wikimedia Foundation
* Bibliothèque sans frontière

Regards
Emmanuel Engelhart
