zimdiff, a command line tool able to compute the difference between two ZIM files.
The incremental update system is based on the development of following stuff: This improvement will save ~80% of user's bandwidth during Wikipedia update. This incremental update feature will be developed in a generic manner and then specifically integrated to the Kiwix solution. To achieve to do that, we want to allow incremental update of ZIM files. This will greatly benefit many schools/other institutes in developing regions. Once the project is finished, people will be able to get automatically incremental updates of their Wikipedia local copy. This project was thought up in order to provide an efficient and easy solution to update local copy of Wikipedia. This is quite cumbersome and/or impractical for a user with a slow Internet connection. As of now, users need to download the full database every time they need to update. Unfortunately, a feature that is missing is a proper update feature. Using Kiwix, with files in the ZIM format, it is possible to have a local copy of Wikipedia. Wikipedia has played a tremendous role in making the world's information available for free.
