0.15.3:
Bugfix release from 0.15.2. The windows configure flag was backwards
which lead to many people buliding without gconf support in. This
is a bad bad thing because gWaei gets the install URLs through the
gconf preferences. (The windows build is still experimental only!)
0.15.2:
A number of fixes has gone into this version. More polish has been
applied to the terminal interface, some bugs squashed, and more
compatibility with different distros added. The program should be
compilable on Debian Lenny now. Windows compatibility is coming
along too.
Because I happened to notice a large bug today after releasing,
another bug fix release will be coming up soon. It has to do with
the romanji->kata conversion system still acting up. Just turn it
off if you think it is causing problem s with your searches in the
preferences. Particularly for queries containing kanji, the results
will be undefined and random.

2009-03-01: Released gWaei 0.15.1
Bug fix release! This should fix the issue some people were having doing
searches that contained kanji.
Other changes include gconf being abstracted out. It is possible to
compile the program withotu gconf available...though it isn't recommended.
Also, the deb installs and uninstalls now exit cleanly with no errors.
Last, an updated italian translation has now been added! (Thanks Fabrizio!)

2009-02-21: Released gWaei 0.15.0
The newest version of gWaei has finally arrived! This version took so long
because it was edging on being a total rewrite. Many of the dangling
variables that I had floating around are now neatly put away into C structs.
On the front end, there is a link saying "Where can I get other dictionaries?"
This is meant to help people find other dictionaries that may work with gwaei.
Last, and the most interesting, gtk support is now OPTIONAL in gWaei. You can
access most of the program's features through the terminal now! The program
creates a symbalic link called waei on installation that can be used to
access all of this console goodness.

2009-01-26: Released gWaei 0.14.0
New features! The preferences dialog has recieved an options boost. There
is a new advanced tab. On of the most interesting options is the ability
to adjust the highlight colors.
The search engine has been upgraded a bit. Bugs fixed, works better with
NetBSD, does better sorting of Japanese searches.
Last, the japanese locale requirements have been loosened. They aren't as
important as I had once thought. Though it is nice because it makes gtk
antialias the japanese text on my systems.

2009-01-17: Released gWaei 0.13.1
This is a release focusing on fixing bugs. The most noteworthy
of which was an infinitely loop on startup that some computer
encountered. (It it still is not fixed, someone please email me.)
There was a crasher when attempting to print only one
highlighted line in the results. The back and forward
buttons have been coded better against race conditions
on slow hardware because the back/forward button's wouldn't
become insensitive quick enough to stop repeted executions.
The highlight colors have been chosen to work better
with dark themes than they were. Fixed a crasher when users
would go back/forward after switching dictionaries.
There have been a few minor features added as well. alt-left
and alt-right will go back and forward in the search history
much like a web browser. Shift-tab will cycle backwards through
the dictionaries. The colors for highlighting have been switched
around and varied more. The previous red just wasn't really
compatible with any of the other colors I tried with it. It is
now possible to optionally compile the program without libsexy.

gWaei is a Japanese-English dictionary program for the GNOME desktop.
It is made to be a modern drop in replacement for Gjiten with many
of the same features. The dictionary files it uses are from Jim
Breen's WWWJDIC project and are installed separately through the
program.
Features
* Easy dictionary installation with a click of a button.
* Support for searching using regular expressions.
* Streams results so the interface is never frozen.
* Click Kanji in the results pane to look information on it.
* Simple interface that makes sense.
* Intelligent design. Tab switches dictionaries.
* Organizes relevant matches to the top of the results.
