Forwarding this information about ZIM reader Kiwix, which is the reader commonly used for the Offline Wikipedia projects.

Many of you on these lists I know have connections to both OLPC and/or Offline Wikipedia, so I thought that you might at a minimum interested in the update and hopefully also interested in helping test!

Best wishes to all -

Subject: [Kiwix-testing] [KIWIX] New version of Kiwix for Sugar
To: "kiwix-testing@lists.sourceforge.net" <kiwix-testing@lists.sourceforge.net>, olpc-france@lists.laptop.org


Dear testers,

we finally have fixed the big bug impacting loading of ZIM files with
0.8x versions of the OLPC OS. So, Kiwix should work now and be able to
load any ZIM file. No bug anymore concerning Kiwix on Sugar is still
open on our side.

Please test the last version and give us a feedback:
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/fr/sugar/addon/4483

Build your own small custom ZIM file there:
* https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Livre
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Book

If everything still runs fine, we plan to introduce pre-packaged .xo
files (Kiwix+content) during the summer.

Regards
Emmanuel
