Hi
I remark that it seems it makes a year a half that we don't have post
posted here news about Kiwix JS. It is a pity, because this is one of
our most active code repository!
On the top of this, we just have released version 3.3.1 of all Web
Browser extensions (Firefox, Chrome & Edge) and Kiwix JS for Windows.
You can find the latest version of Kiwix JS Browser extensions:
* Chrome:

Here are the recent changelogs:

We have already started to release ZIM files "without namesapces" and
this version 3.2.0+ is mandatory if you want to enjoy them with Kiwix JS.
All our Windows apps based on Kiwix JS have been updated in Microsoft
App Store too. You can enjoy our apps on all Windows
based devices (mobiles, tablets, PC, Xbox, ...):
