* Added a head request to get the library length and showing the progress on behalf of that length.
* Improved the library loading process: previously, fetching the online library involved making two requests, which not only took more time to get a response from the server but also used twice the bandwidth. To address this, we have refactored our code to ensure that only one request is made at a time.
* Upgraded the retrofit, and interceptor dependencies to latest version.
* Upgraded the `uiautomator` version to `2.3.0`.
* Upgraded the `appcompat` version to `1.7.0`.
* Upgraded the coroutines version to `1.8.1`.
* Upgraded the `androidx.test:runner` version to `1.6.1`.
* Upgraded the `androidx.test:core` version to `1.6.1`.
* Upgraded the `androidx.test:orchestrator` version to `1.5.0`.
* Upgraded the `io.mockk:mockk` version to `1.13.12`.
* Upgraded the `org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter` version to `5.11.0`.
* Upgraded the `org.assertj:assertj-core` version to `3.26.3`.
* Upgraded the `androidx.annotation:annotation` version to `1.6.0`.
* Improved the SearchStateTest.
* Fixed some deprecated code which is deprecated in new dependencies.
* Implemented a method to automatically generate a unique version code by calculating the number of days from the reference date (July 17, 2024) to the current date and adding this value to the base version code (231101) from the last release.
* Added a workflow that automatically generates the bundle and uploads it to internal testing every Monday at 12:00. This workflow will also trigger under the `internal_testing` tag.
* Since we are implementing this, it is necessary to directly release the bundle to internal testing instead of placing it in draft (to eliminate manual steps), so we have refactored our code accordingly.
* The serialization issue was fixed in coroutine version `1.7.0`, so we have upgraded the coroutine dependency to `1.7.0` to address this issue.
* In the new version of coroutines, `ConflatedBroadcastChannel` is replaced with `StateFlow`, so we have refactored our code to use `StateFlow`.
* Fixed some detekt issues which occurs after upgrading this dependency.
* Introduced the splitting zim file with 500MB for custom apps. Since the bundle has a limit for a file to upload it uses the play asset delivery mode, and for new custom apps, playStore does not allow to upload the apk (with apk we can upload more than 1GB file). So to address this issue we have introduced a feature in libzim where we can load the zim files via the fd list.
* We have modified our code to upload the files with 500MB chunks in the asset folder, and later we are accessing these files from the asset folder and creating the archive object with the help of the new libzim feature.
* We have refactored our code to use PageDao for managing data related to Bookmarks, Notes, and History. With the ability to return Flowable from the Room database, the BasePageDao interface has become unnecessary. Consequently, we have removed BasePageDao and streamlined our code to use PageDao, providing a unified approach for these functionalities. This change reduces code complexity and enhances readability, making the codebase easier to understand and maintain.
* This testing library only work with `ViewAction` like if we perform any click on any screen then it starts checking the accessibility issues, so we have modify our test cases according to this.
* Suppress a few known accessibility issue e.g. on `LocalFileTransfer` screen we have a `skip` text which we are not using but it is giving the error for that.
* Fixed the `TouchTargetIssue` in ZimHostFragment.
* Added the `contentDescription` to search recyclerView.
* Updated the `README.md` file for this new change.
* Removed the API level 24 from CI and added the API level 25 since now our minimum SDK version is 25.
* Renamed CompatV24 file since we have upgraded the minimum SDK version so this fileName was irrelevant.
* Re-enabled the `LogConditional` lint check.
* Introduced a `Log` class that exclusively handles logging operations in the debug variant.
* Removed unnecessary `if (BuildConfig.DEBUG)` conditions from the project.
* Upgraded the `WebKit` version to the latest (from 1.3.0 to 1.7.0) to leverage improvements and bug fixes. This update is essential to address the issue with the latest `chromium` dependency, as outlined in #3644.
* Additionally, elevated the `androidx.annotation:annotation` dependency from `1.1.0` to `1.2.0` to meet the requirements of the updated WebKit version.
* Introduced the 'Support kiwix' option, which is configurable in the navigation for custom apps. If the custom app is set to display the "Support" menu item in navigation, it will be shown; otherwise, it will be hidden from the app.
* Replaced the "kiwix" and "the" prefixes in "Support kiwix" and "About the app" with the app name in the navigation.
* If the custom app is configured to display the 'About the app' option in navigation, it will be visible. Clicking on it will redirect the user to the configured URL.
* We have introduced the option to disable external links for custom apps. If a custom app is configured not to display the external links popup, it will both hide the external links preference from settings and refrain from showing the external link popup when opening external links. Additionally, we have included relevant comments within the methods and code to provide developers with a clear understanding of the reasons behind these changes.
