[Release] WikiMed by Kiwix (Linux/Windows) 3.1.8 #567

Introducing WikiMed by Kiwix 3

WikiMed by Kiwix v3.1.8 contains the April 2024 WikiMed by Kiwix package mdwiki_en_all[-app]_maxi_2024-04.zim, together with the minor changes in the CHANGELOG.

The Electron app uses Electron v22.3.25, which supports Windows 7/8/10/11 and Linux 64bit. Linux 32bit AppImage is based on Electron v18.3.15. The Linux packages have been tested on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and OpenSUSE.

For the Linux on ARM package, simply use the ARM64 AppImage portable file. For Windows on ARM, use the Web installer, and it should detect and download the correct package for your architecture.

Notice regarding Linux 32bit OS: The vast majority of Linux OS flavours are now 64bit. Modern Electron no longer supports 32bit Linux, and it is becoming harder to compile packages for it. We have reluctantly been forced to retire the 32bit Linux deb release, although the 32bit AppImage is still available (so long as we can still compile it). 64bit packages are unaffected.
