kiwix-hotspot VS kiwix-js-pwa

OK, I found this in the CHANGELOG:

But since you've found the repo and are not the first one to ask, feel free to open a feature request at https://github.com/offspot/kiwix-hotspot/issues

Edit: it actually is a feature request and has been scheduled for the next milestone.

This update is fairly important as it corrects a number of limitations that were on Raspberry Hotspots. The full changelog is here but here's what really matters:

The FAQ indicates that RPi 4 manufactured from late 2020 on are not supported, but I also see that this ticket has been closed last week, so the upcoming 2.4 release should fix that.

WikiMed by Kiwix is now at v2.7.4. The packages for 64bit and 32bit Linux and Windows contain the October 2023 WikiMed English ZIM (mdwiki_en_all_maxi_2023-10), together with the changes in the CHANGELOG. The Electron app uses Electron v22.3.25.

Release packages for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, AppImage, Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/tag/v2.5.0

The packages contain the March 2023 WikiMed English ZIM (mdwiki_en_all_maxi_2023-03), because there have been no new updated MDWiki ZIM archives since March, together with the changes in the CHANGELOG (also copied below). The Electron app uses Electron v22.3.8.

Release: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/tag/v2.4.6-Wikivoyage

Please note that Zimit support in the PWA is experimental, and it may struggle with highly dynamic content. Any issues can be reported to me here. Kiwix devs will be working on standardized (and hopefully more universal) Zimit support across the range of apps, with dedicated developer focus planned for the end of May.

u/verrucagnome This fix is now released in v2.4.0: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/tag/v2.4.0 and the PWA https://pwa.kiwix.org (let it update to v2.4.0).

u/Nibb31 There's no need to run it in Docker, as you can compile the Electron versions on either Linux or Windows simply by cloning the Repo and running npm install --save-dev, then npm start to test, or npm run dist-linux (or dist-win), to make packages. See scripts in package.json. It uses electron-builder to build the apps, in case you're familiar with its CLI.

The packages contain the December 2022 WikiMed English ZIM (mdwiki_en_all_maxi_2022-12), together with the changes in the CHANGELOG. The Electron app uses Electron v18.3.15.
