we have published our latest release candidate for Kiwix-dekstop (Windows & GNU/Linux)! And if you are running deployments on old machines (like, XP/Vista/7 old, ie 32-bits), then stay tuned until the end of this mail

- Kiwix-desktop 2.0 RC4: nothing major, but still a few improvements. Here's the log of new features and fixes for this RC4:

- Now for the interesting bit: Kiwix-JS has been ported to work on all flavours of Windows 32-bit systems. It actually runs on all architectures, but that'll be especially relevant to anyone having to deal with older machines (Windows 7 and below, there's still plenty of XP and Vista around).

Please note that just as with the (Firefox/Chrome) browser extensions, there might be some limitations compared to the real thing. But hey, the reference point here is having nothing instead since the old Kiwix-desktop 0.9 doesn't handle so well the new flavours of our zim files. But even then, Jaifroid and Mossroy have done nothing less than an Amazing Job*.
