Recent releases


Release Notes: The only changes in this final version are the version number and an updated German translation.


Release Notes: gWaei now requires GTK+ 3.2. The Windows have been rewritten to extend GtkWindow instead of just containing a GtkWindow. libunique is no longer a dependency. GtkApplication from GTK+ is now used instead. The program now handles large amounts of results better and no longer truncates them as early. Dictionary lines are no longer counted on startup, which makes it much quicker. MinGW is now automatically detected instead of requiring an option during configure. Unfortunately, it is still not supported as GTK+ 3 and D-Bus don't run well on Windows yet.


Release Notes: In 3.0.1 there was a bug that would make gWaei freeze from time to time due to some thread locking, which is the reason for this rushed version. Also, a warning that appeared when clicking a lot of Kanji in the main results pane was fixed. With any luck, the 3.0.x series is now stable.


Release Notes: Multiple bugs were fixed. Installing the Kanji dictionary now works. The print preview was fixed. The primary toolbar style is now fixed for button hovering. Code was added to make sure that the progress bar clears when a search is canceled.


Release Notes: For simplicity, version numbers now reflect the GNOME version that the program is meant to accompany. GTK+ 3.0 is now required. A number of interface elements have been improved. A much more powerful dictionary installation and removal mechanism was implemented, allowing easier installation of custom dictionaries.
