Kiwix is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software free software], which means you can freely [[{{ll|development}}|copy, modify and distribute]] it.</translate>


* 2011-01-30 : The [http://www.wikimedia.org Wikimedia Foundation] [http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2011/01/update-on-offline-wikimedia-projects/ support now actively] the Kiwix and openZIM projects.
<translate><!--T:30-->
* 2011-01-11 : Kiwix provides, again after two years, an up to date version of Kiwix for MacOSX (intel).
Kiwix is mostly installed in schools, universities and libraries which can't afford a broadband Internet access. It is much faster than the Internet and also can be used by many institutions to save bandwidth and reader's time. But many people use Kiwix for their own personal purposes, for example, of people suffering from censorship or prisoners.</translate>
* 2010-07-23 : Kiwix has now its own PPA (Personal Package Archive) for Ubuntu : https://launchpad.net/~kiwixteam/+archive/ppa
* 2010-04-22 : Have released Kiwix 0.9 alpha1. This version benefits of a lot of improvements comparing to the 0.8. It especially runs (again) on MS Windows. Here is the [http://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kiwix/moulinkiwix/CHANGELOG full CHANGELOG]. You may downloaded here the '''[http://download.kiwix.org/portable/wikipedia_en_wp1.zip Windows version with the WP1 EN 0.7 30.000 Wikipedia articles]'''.
* 2010-03-28 : Kiwix compiles again under Windows... but this time the process is [http://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kiwix/moulinkiwix/COMPILE really simple and documented].
* 2010-02-15 : I have released the final 0.8 version. I wasn't been working on it since months and no bugs were reported in the last Release Candidate. See you soon with the first 0.9 alpha.
* 2010-01-23 : First version in the SVN of [[kiwix-serve]], an HTTP server able to serve a ZIM file and using the Kiwix search engine - [http://library.kiwix.org:4202/ demo].
