A new stable version has been released, the main change is the incorporation of
scim-bridge.
All integrated im-modules (gtk2/gtk3/qt3/qt4/clutter) are written in pure C
so they should have no compatibility issues which the original gtk-im-modules
usually have. Moreover, the original im-modules supports only gtk2/gtk3,
scim provides gtk2/gtk3/qt3/qt4/clutter im-modules after the incorporation.
Currently the SCIM project has a wide range of input methods (some may need
other libraries), covering more than 30 languages, including
(Simplified/Traditional) Chinese, Japanese, Korean and many European languages.
What's more, Composing/Dead key support is one of the built-in features.
In addition, several projects have been established to design IMEngines for
SCIM and others supply their own SCIM plugins.
