macOS/Windows/Linux (Ubuntu) v0.19.0614-release
New:
- Coloured characters: Based on the pronunciation of a character, they are now coloured in! In order of Jyutping tones: light blue, light green, light purple, red, dark green, dark purple.- Pretty Pinyin: By default, instead of displaying numbers as tones beside pinyin, diacritics are used.
- Menu bar: Conforming to the macOS and GNOME HIG, there is now a menu bar in the application for standard menus–including cut/copy/paste.
- Tooltips: Confused about what the options are for searching? Tooltips now appear on a hover of the radio buttons.
- Updates: A popup will now notify you when there are new updates available to the application.
Improvements:
- Improved dictionary: Duplicate entries are now permitted, which means entries like 大 with multiple meanings now show both meanings.- Faster search: Performing a search now does not block typing text in the search bar.
Fixed:
- Never gonna give ü up: Searching for ü now works.- Font on Windows: The definition header now uses YaHei as much as possible.
Known issues:
- Not tested for non-Ubuntu Linux Distros: 🤷♂️- Not working on Ubuntu 16.04: The non-portable version of the program does not work on Ubuntu 16.04, due to the old pre-installed version of the SQLite driver not being compatible with FTS5.
