We must use absolute path whenever possible.
Relative path has sense only related to the "interaction" with the user
(current directory, library location, ...).
The `common` name is from the time where kiwix was only one repository
for all the project (android, desktop, server...).
Now we have split the repositories and kiwix-lib is the "common" repo,
the "common" directory is somehow nonsense.
Mustache templating system is a bit simpler than ctpp2 and ctpp2 is no
more maintained (see #189).
We are moving to the kainjow's Mustache project
(https://github.com/kainjow/Mustache).
It simplify a lot our system has it is header only and we don't have to
precompile the template.
Fix#21
This feature is considered obsolete for a while.
In fact, it was already not supported since June 2018 as we were compiling
xapian without the chert backend support.
Assume that we don't support it and remove it from the code.
See kiwix/kiwix-tools#245
This is a API break. library.xml files will still work but the indexPath
and indexType will be dropped silently from the file.
The library now contains (simple) methods to handle bookmarks.
The bookmark are stored in a separate xml file.
Bookmark are mainly a couple (`zimId`, `articleUrl`).
However, in the xml we store a bit more data :
- The article's title (for display)
- The book's title, lang and date (for potential update of zim files)
By default, we are searching in the PATH env var.
However, with an appImage, the executable directory is not in the PATH,
so we have to use an absolute path if we can.
If we cannot find the aria2c executable in the executable directory let's
try to use the system one.
`reader.getFileSize()` return the size of the zim in Kbyte in a
`unsigned int` (32 bits). This is ok as it would overflow if the size
of the size is greater than 4294967295 kbytes (so ~4Tbytes).
However, we need to convert the return size into a unsigned 64 bits integer
else, when converting to bytes, we will overflow at 4Gbytes.
Even in `m_size` is a uint64_t.
When we do a search and paging the result, we need to display to the
user the total number of book, not only the `itemsPerPage`.
So, we need to parse correctly the xml to keep information of the total
number of book.
The value is store as a string in in the xml, so we cannot use getAsI.
We have to get the string and parse it to an int.
We cannot use strtoull because android stdc++ lib doesn't have it.
We have to implement our how parseFromString function using a
istringstream.
When parsing a opds feed, the favicon is a url, not a dataurl.
If we download the favicon all the times, it may take a lot of time to
parse the feed.
We store the url and download the favicon only when needed (when displayed)
- "winsock2.h" needs to be included before "windows.h". But if a
compilation unit include "windows.h" and after "networkTools.h", we
fails and it is complicated to handle. The include must not be in the
header but in the cpp
- windows define some ERROR macro. It is a pitty but we cannot use `ERROR`
in our enum.
- If build statically using mingw we need to define `CURL_STATICLIB`
Library client (kiwix-desktop) need to know when a book is added to
library by the manager. By using a LibraryManipulator, we can do
dependency injection.
