04/23/2000 Released v0.60
Changes:
- created smaller dictionaries
- removed up/down arrows used for scrolling
- added scrollbards and ability to scroll by tapping on the screen
- added html manual to distribution
- fixed: crash when switching between dictionaries
The biggest complaint so far was that the dictionary file is too big.
I've decided to do something about it and created a smaller dictionaries
by limiting the number of words. The definitions are the same so it
doesn't make sense to keep more that one of them. Just choose the one
that best suits your needs.
There are four dictionaries provided:
- mini, 13300 words, needs 1125 kB of memory
- small, 18421 words, needs 1329 kB of memory
- medium, 37625 words, needs 2022 kB of memory
- full, 122679 words, needs 5140 kB of memory
The full and small dictonaries are available in standard distribution
at
PalmGear. Mini and medium can be downloaded from
here. Module names
are: wordnet_mini and wordnet_medium.
04/22/2000 Released v0.51
Minor changes:
- added ability to scroll the definition using hardware scroll buttons.
- fixed the database. Noah would crash for some 65 words.
04/20/2000 Released v0.50 Beta2
Very small but crucial changes:
- fixed the bug with word list being empty under OS 3.5.
- sometimes it takes a while from the time you choose the word till
the definition gets displayed. Added visual cue ("Please wait..."
text) so that users know they have to be patient.
- decided (after the fact) that this naming schema with "betas" is
brain-dead. From now I'll switch to a numbers-only scheme.
