[Karthik Tayur]

0.65-4 is currently stable. Another version, incorporating some resolutions
of 0.66 is the 0.67rc available through PPAs.

Re: [Zim-wiki] New web site for Windows installer; found new energy to work on Windows installer

[Murat Güven]

Hi Brendan,

thank you for your great work.

When you work on the new package, could you please double check, if 
there is anything added to make

the installer choose something like following for the index path?

%appdata%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Inetcache\zim\zim\

I'm running Window 10 64bit with a user having local admin rights.
Could others please check this path as well, please?

Thank you and Regards,
Murat

The new URL for Zim installers for Windows is:

Please subscribe to this RSS feed to get notified immediately when I
publish new installer packages or have other Windows-related Zim news:

The old URLs will redirect to the new home page for at least 2 years.
Jaap, you can update the URL listed at
http://zim-wiki.org/downloads.html whenever you get around to it.



Additionally, I was thinking about all the Windows-related trouble we've
had with the 0.66 release -- the two big issues I'm aware of are that
what's in the installer package doesn't work on Windows 10, and
VirusTotal reports that Baidu and at least 1 other antivirus tool don't
want to say that my installer packages are clean.

The current install package building process relies on py2exe which
hasn't been maintained for 7 years. Additionally, when I created this
building process, Python's "setuptools" package (used by Zim) probably
did not have a Windows Zip and MSI package builder function; now it does
have those functions, and Nullsoft Installer System is no longer needed.

In the next few weeks, I'm going to start a branch off of the 0.66
source code release to try to resolve these issues. First I need to
update my Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 development virtual machine templates to
provide a testing platform; then I will work on removing the NSIS
dependency and resolving whatever issues remain.

I'll give you an update around the middle of June if I haven't finished
this work I'm planning, and I'll announce new installer packages here
when I'm satisfied with the result. The new packages will be based on
whatever is the current "stable" source code release at that time.

In the mean time, I recommend Windows users either stick with the 0.65
installer packages or install a complete Python and PyGTK environment on
your system and run Zim from the source code.

Thanks for your patience.

[Zim-wiki] Upgrade to which Zim?

[Alessia]

Hello to everyone

and sorry for the very basic question, but reading the mailing list in 
the past weeks I gathered that there are (were?) some problems with the 
0.66 release. I'm currently running the 0.64 release and it's time to 
upgrade (moreover there are some new tasks related functions that I 
really like to try ^^) but I'm little confused, which version should I 
install? And from where? I'd like to grab version if it's already exist.


Thank you for the help

and for this wonderfull application


Alessia

[Zim-wiki] New web site for Windows installer; found new energy to work on Windows installer

if you see an older copy of this waiting in a quarantine queue for the

tonight building a new web site using ProcessWire CMS. (I highly
