Jisho-san / News: Recent posts

Jisho-san has been updated to work with the latest Mono tool-chain and released at version 0.0.4.

The Glade widgets have been updated to use the new GladeWidget attribute. Also, the TreeView might be updated to support managed data, (it will hold Dictionarys directly). This will completely deprecate the need for Tree.cs (HistoryTree). Whoohooo!

This release now includes GConf support. The color of results (kanji, kana, readings, etc) can be changed. Basic settings like spin-button values and toggle boxes are preserved.

Also, the source distribution now includes targets for distribution and installation.

See the project page for download/notes links.

It looks a little better, and searching actually works. Two of the three search options work--the search-by-radical isn't done yet. That's next! Check out the screenshot of CVS (http://jishosan.sf.net/screenshots.html).

The kanjidic part of Jisho-san (dubbed "Jibiki") is starting to show signs of life. It is in CVS, and has the basic widget support working. Next is to finish the events in the dictionary, and flesh-out the GUI with useful information. As soon as public CVS access is available, I'll post screenshots.

Work on the Kanji Dictionary part has commenced! Today I implemented most of the Kanjidic parser (in C#). Originally, I wrote one in C using yacc/bison, and considered using the produced grammars with the modified jay from mono:: to generate C#. But afterall, I just wrote it by hand. It wasn't too complicated.

The screen shot was just a bit dated. It now matches the released version 0.0.1.

The first public release is now available in source form. Binary versions might become available if I feel like figuring it out.

This is a test to see if news items correctly show up in the home page.

Sorry, no files are available yet, but I'll be releasing these as soon as I get everything settled and figured out.

You can check out the screenshots, or the CVS repository, or send me email or something.
