Changes since 0.22.3
  1. Fixed a few minor bugs in both qvocab and the converter programs.
  2. qvocab can now ask a word multiple times if you did not know it.
  3. Better error handling: qvocab should now show you a message box telling you what went wrong when a fatal error occurs (except on segfaults). Also, less errors are fatal.
  4. Added a basic command-line interface for qvocab.
  5. Added more options and man pages to qvo2txt and txt2qvo.
Changes since 0.22.2
  1. Fixed a compilation problem with qvocab and some bugs in qvo2txt.
  2. txt2qvo converter program added; this will convert tab-delimited ASCII lists to .qvo files and thus functions as an import filter for existing data.
  3. Added some new command-line options to qvo2txt.
  4. Added a manual page for qvocab.
  5. Added debian/ subdir to allow the creation of a .deb package. Please note that it is not (yet?) part of the official Debian distribution and may not fully comply with the Debian policy (though I hope it does).
Changes since 0.22.1
  1. Quick bugfix release because the QT-2 version would write random characters to the database when the "remark" field was left empty. I rewrote quite a bit of code to make similar errors less likely for the future and fixed a few more bugs while I was at it.
  2. Asking and accepting fragments should now work nicely (the code was broken; I completely rewrote it). All fragments you enter will be checked, leading/trailing whitespace and order of fragments is ignored.
Changes since 0.22.0
  1. Fixed all reported compilation problems; if something still does not work for you, please send me an e-mail.
  2. Started to port qvocab to QT-2. Currently, it should be possible to compile with either QT 1.44 or QT-2. However, I found it very time-consuming to maintain two versions of qvocab, so I will probably stop supporting QT-1.
  3. Minor GUI improvements (QT-2 version only).
Changes since 0.20.4
  1. Misc bugs and compilation problems fixed; minor tweaks to the GUI; minor internal changes and rewrites
  2. Made all windows modal instead of hiding the main window. This creates an even more intuitive look and feel (in my humble opinion :), the window manager is told that the windows belong together and the main window does not "jump around" on the desktop any more.
  3. We now use gettext like the manual suggests (advantages are mainly internal).
  4. automake/autoconf cleanup. One result is that you can now build and install the converter programs by simply passing --enable-converters to ./configure.
  5. Added more documentation (TODO file).
Changes since 0.20.3
  1. misc bugs fixed
  2. .spec file added to allow quick and easy creation of qvocab .rpm files. Try ``rpm -ta qvocab-XXX.tar.gz''.
  3. qvo2txt converter program added; this will convert .qvo files to tab-delimited ASCII lists and allows importing of .qvo files into other programs.
  4. de.po altered to avoid duplicate shortcuts.
  5. leading / trailing whitespace is now removed before user input and correct answer are compared when asking vocabulary.
