What's new

Every AALookup release, newest first.

0.7.1

Adding a dictionary used to look like it worked and leave nothing behind. That, the panel's source list, and importing on Android are all fixed — and What's new now appears when an update actually arrives, with the notes for it before you install.

Added

  • What's new can describe the release being offered to you, not only the ones already installed, so you can read what an update contains before deciding to take it.

Fixed

  • A dictionary added with “Add a dictionary…” showed up in Settings and was gone again on the next start. It never reached disk: saving replaced the whole dictionary list before the new row could be written into it. Every way of adding one now takes the same path a folder import takes, so it is durable before the button finishes.
  • Choosing a dictionary in the lookup panel's source list did nothing at all. The request was refused before it ran, so a word with entries in several dictionaries could not be read from the one you picked.
  • Version 0.7.0 sent everyone back to the first step of Getting Started, including people who had finished it a version ago — their practice erased, and on a phone no way out of it without signing in. Only a guide that was left unfinished starts again; a finished one stays finished.
  • What's new could not scroll, so everything below the first screen was out of reach — which is most of it, eleven releases in.
  • On Android, importing dictionary files from the setup guide had never worked: the file picker hands back locations no dictionary reader can open, and it failed far enough from the picker to read as a broken dictionary rather than a way in that never worked. The guide now uses the same folder import the Dictionaries screen already had, and asks whether to read a folder where it lies or copy it, before opening the picker.

Changed

  • What's new sits in the sidebar while an update is on its way, and until you have read about the release that just landed, marked while that is true. The rest of the time it stays out of the way. A link to it still works whichever way the sidebar looks.
