Release Notes: This release fixes display of kanjipad (or at least improves it), fixes problems with searches from waei, fixes localizations of some texts, and removes/disables deprecated directives.


Release Notes: This is a bugfix release. It installs libwaei headers, increases the libwaei version number, fixes the order in which dictionaries are installed, no longer crashes when a mecab dictionary is not installed, fixes handling of a gtk bug not showing installable dictionaries, and adds zlib to configure.ac.


Release Notes: This release adds various fixes and polish improvements, case-insensitive flashcard answers, the ability to enter katakana/hiragana answers as romaji, ignoring of punctuation and spaces, a dependency move from enchant to hunspell in preparation for an architecture change, direct use of zlib instead of piping data through gzip, and a number of fixes for win32. All users need to update their package dependencies.


Release Notes: Since 3.2.0, there have been numerous interface tweaks to make it a bit more subtle, with less color. A vocabulary study component has been added and integrated, including flashcard study and scoring. There have been a few fixes for mingw/cygwin support for when spellcheck occurs or when installing a dictionary. Lots of old deprecated stuff has been removed from gtk+-3.2. Various bugs have been fixed, and the application made generally more fun to use. Windows users will get a prebuilt binary once official gtk3 binaries for mingw are released.


Release Notes: This is the preliminary gWaei-3.4.0 beta. The final version should be released in a week or two. This release adds some tweaks to the interface to use more subtle icons with less color, a vocabulary component with which it is easy to add vocabulary from words you look up, and a flashcard component.
