1.0: (2001/12/14)

• Improved handling of long result lists in word lookup dialog.
• Removed the dummy print menu item from the word lookup dialog.
• Fixed exception thrown if the document window is closed while a document is loaded.

• Find dialog defaults to currently selected text.

• Style changes in the preferences are only applied once to open documents.
• When annotating a word manually, the first reading and translation are now automatically selected.

0.9.4: (2001/11/07)

0.9.3: (2001/09/14)

• Annotations can now have more than one reading. In a word with more than one kanji substring, a reading is added for every substring. Non-kanji substrings don't get a reading annotation.
• Changed HTML generation. The generated HTML is now simpler, but may not work as well as previously with browsers which don't support ruby elements.
• There are now two text parsers, the previous "Kanji" parser and a parser which uses the ChaSen morphological analysis tool.

• Added composite verb detection to parser.
• Added user dictionary.
• Added dictionary form node to annotation editor. This allows greater control over what will be written in LaTeX and annotation list exports.

• Added command line option -a, which annotates Japanese words in a HTML page with dictionary entries.
• Creation of the preferences panel and loading of the dictionaries now happens in the background. This decreases the perceived startup time.

• An extension will automatically be added to file names if no extension is given by the user.
• Opening an already open document will bring the existing window to the front.
