0.70

Date25 February 2019
Notes

There is currently no official Windows build of Zim Desktop Wiki 0.70. A new packaging process needs to be built that takes into account: using Python 3 instead of Python 2; using GTK 3 instead of GTK 2; dropping Py2exe and probably switching to Pyinstaller.

Updated 17 July 2019:

I have stepped down as Windows package maintainer for Zim. Here is my message about this on the mailing list.

I have published instructions to install Zim manually from source on Windows on Zim's GitHub wiki.

Portable Installerzim-desktop-wiki-portable-0_67.exe    (16.69 MiB)    sig    sha256sum
Notes

Lots of things that were broken in the 0.66 release have been fixed. See the changelog. Copy-to-clipboard still fails sometimes but mostly works. (This will not be fixed in current GTK2-based development line.) Spell check is not included; you must run from source to get spell check in Windows.

0.67-rc2-win-2

Date17 June 2017 (changelog)
Desktop Installerzim-desktop-wiki-setup-0_67-rc2-win-2.exe    (16.64 MiB)    sig    sha256sum
Portable Installerzim-desktop-wiki-portable-0_67-rc2-win-2.exe    (16.68 MiB)    sig    sha256sum
Notes

Please backup your data! This is an unstable and largely untested release!

Since 0.66, we've fixed a few major issues in the main Zim project. (See the CHANGELOG.) We'e also significantly cleaned up the process and documentation around the Windows installer build process.

Since the first build of 0.67-rc2, I have restored some missing binary files, fixing breakage of starting child processes (Edit Source, etc.) and decoding SVG files. The Portable build is an NSIS installer again (smaller than a Zip file).

I was not able to make a unified NSIS installer .exe for Desktop and Portable builds together, because Desktop requires a UAC prompt for admin privileges, and Portable requires that we don't bug the user with that. NSIS doesn't allow you to trigger the UAC prompt AFTER you've made your installation option choices.

I made another attempt and failed to get Spell Check working.

0.67-rc2

Notes

Please backup your data! This is an unstable and largely untested release!

Known issues:

Windows build process changes:

  • Cleaned up build README a lot.
  • Cleaned up build process a lot.
  • Added "README for Zim for Windows" file -- it's in your Start Menu / Zim Desktop Wiki folder.
    • README mentions where you can find your Plugins folder!
  • Removed dependency on PortableApps.com for the portable launcher and portable packaging.
  • Created our own standalone NSIS-based portable and DEBUG MODE launchers (see new README in ./windows/src).
  • Removed requirement for build person to download "Microsoft.VC90.CRT" folder; found it in %WINDOWS%\WinSxS.
  • Created Python script that runs the desktop installer builder.
  • Prepared to merge Portable installer with Desktop installer (one package); it's not done yet; for now we're shipping a Zip file for the Portable version.

Still yet to be done on the Windows build process:

  • Desktop and Portable build in a single installer .exe.
  • Integrate missing Spell Check files into the package so the plugin works.
  • See if Windows clipboard access is still a problem and investigate and fix.
  • Test on several versions of Windows

Special thanks to Stephen Dintaman for assistance with this build cycle.

Notes

Known bug: cannot open another notebook – Once you've opened one notebook, the Open command always fails after that. Workaround: be sure to register *.zim files to zim.exe during the installer, and just browse to the notebook's .zim file in Explorer and double-click it.
