Which books have an online update available

[kelson42]

Kiwix readers would like to be able to send a notification when an update for a local book is available online. See https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues/324.

To identifiy such an update we should use the following ZIM Metadata:

• name
• Flavour
• Date

Is that doable? Is such a feature maybe already available in libkiwix?

There is not such a thing in libkiwix for now.

We may add it to libkiwix yes but we must be a bit more specific :

• How do we indentify a "identical" content ? The couple Name/Flavour is enough ?
• The date metadata is enough to check for update ?
• Does libkiwix must make the request itself or it compares two books/library already populated ?

I believe it should happen within two populated lists.
