[Offline-l] Re: Libzim 7.0.0 released!!!

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=revisio… 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
