Main changes:
- Word popups now support starring/tagging/audio/animations etc
- Improved font support
- Added vertical Zhuyin support to radicals screen (Mandarin app only)
- Fixed scroll position loss on screen rotation
- Bug fixes
This update comes with a couple of behavioral changes when tapping on characters in a multi-character headword:
- Tapping on a character shows a popup for that character, including stroke animation (where available) as well as buttons to star/tag/play audio etc. This replaces the old behavior which was to show all the sub-words starting from that character.
- Long-tapping on a character shows a popup with all the sub-words starting from that character (this is the same as the old normal-tap behavior). For example, tapping on 女 in 他女朋友每天走路去上课 shows two words: 女朋友 and 女. This can be useful in example sentences, though you always get the sentence decomposition below anyway.
The old long-tap behavior of animating the character in-place has been removed because anyway it’s difficult to see the animation underneath your finger!
In general, this change brings a more consistent and predictable behavior to tapping on a headword character: i.e. tap to bring up animated character.
Check out these screenshots for more info:
