What's new

Every AALookup release, newest first.

0.5.0

Signing in and creating an account are now one simple entry with e-mail verification codes, and the Android app can update itself.

Added

  • The Android app now updates itself: new releases are picked up and installed in place, with no manual APK download.
  • Android can use dictionaries directly where they live: the direct-download APK offers an in-place import that skips copying large files into the app, while Play and local builds keep the standard file-picker import.
  • Library search results gain a dictionary rail: jump straight to any dictionary's entry instead of scrolling past every one before it.

Improved

  • If your e-mail address is still unverified, sign-in now walks you through verification — the code is sent automatically and the page offers a fresh sign-in once it's done — instead of failing with a generic error and making you start over.
  • Studying on a phone feels right now: launch, keyboard handling, onboarding, touch review, spoken answers, and question sampling have all been tuned for mobile.

Fixed

  • Jumping to a dictionary now lands on it and stays put; entries used to finish measuring themselves mid-scroll, so a jump could stop short or drift away from its target.
  • Dictionary entries keep their images, styles, and audio even when a publisher's own scripts rewrite URLs; dictionary names with spaces or non-Latin characters no longer break asset loading.
  • Right-click "Inspect Element" no longer shows up in the lookup panel, Library, or Settings — the web inspector now belongs to the tuning window alone.
  • The search field's clear button sits right beside the search button at every window density and language, instead of floating a couple dozen pixels away from it.

Changed

  • Sign-in and registration are now one entry. "Sign in or create account" opens the hosted account page in your browser, where a new account is created with an e-mail verification code — the app no longer carries its own password form.
