Hi,
this is with a great joy that I can announce to you: We have finally released the major version 7.0.0 of the libzim.
This is one of the biggest libzim releases we have ever made:
- Almost one year of effort
- ~100 tickets https://github.com/openzim/libzim/milestone/2?closed=1
- Code coverage increased from 50% to 85%
- 15K lines of code changed
This new release brings:
- A strongly rewritten new API: search engine, suggestions, creator, ...
- Most notable change is that now namespaces are "hidden" by the API
- Ability to add hints to articles
- New index with only the user visible/front articles
- Backward and forward compatibility is secured
- Other bug fixes and improvements, check
https://github.com/openzim/libzim/blob/master/ChangeLog
The ZIM file format specification has itself only changed a little, see:
https://wiki.openzim.org/w/index.php?title=ZIM_file_format&type=revision...
A cascade of new releases will be done in the next weeks to bring all the benefits of this latest libzim in both openZIM scrapers and Kiwix readers.
I use the opportunity of this release to send a particular "Thank you!" to the Wikimedia Foundation which has been supporting us for many years now. This hard work on a low level library like the libzim would not have been possible without its support.
For the Kiwix team
That is great ! I did not look at linked page yet. What are hints ?
