kchmviewer

KchmViewer is a chm (MS HTML help file format) viewer, written in C++. Unlike most existing CHM viewers for Unix, it uses Trolltech Qt widget library, and does not depend on KDE or Gnome. However, it may be compiled with full KDE support, including KDE widgets and KIO/KHTML.

The main advantage of KchmViewer is non-English language support. Unlike others, KchmViewer in most cases correctly detects help file encoding, correctly shows tables of context of Russian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese help files, and correctly searches in non-English help files (search for MBCS languages - ja/ko/ch is still in progress).

KchmViewer is written by George Yunaev, and is licensed under GNU GPL v3 license.

Version 5.0
- Now based on Qt 4.5, and requires it
- Major internal GUI redesign. Navigation tab is now a dock window, which can be moved or
left floating.
- Fixed settings storage. Unfortunately previous application settings cannot be restored
but (those saved for CHM files, including bookmarks, should be fine).
- Fixed index parser.
- Default toolbars now use large icons and text labels, and is configurable through settings.
- Now the application can start without opening a CHM file, and startup mode is selected in settings.
- Added configurable check if a new version is available (once a week, can be disabled in settings).
- Added missing icons.
- Added OpenSuSE 11.2 RPM.
