* Switch gtk2 to gtk3.
Changelog:
2010-01-10: gWaei 3.0.0
New version of gwaei made to compile against gtk+-3.0 and match other Gnome 3
apps. Most of the code has been rewritten and the advantages won't all appear u
ntil futuer versions of the program.
-Spellcheck is now don't directly with enchant instead of relying on libsexy
-The backend is now separated into a libtool library for cleaner code.
-The dictionary folder is now in ~/.config/gwaei instead of ~/.waei.
-Manual installation of dictionaries is now easier and more straight forward.
-Translations are now handled by intltool instead of gettext
-Much of the code now uses GError for proper error handling and message passin
g
-The code now uses GRegex instead of the C regex library included with the OS,
making the program more cross platform friendly
A new gWaei release for the new year! 1.5.2 is out! Go get it!
Updates of the website have been sparse, but development of gWaei
has continued regardless. A number of bug fixes have made it in
again, and finally I am going around making updates to the README
documentation again. gWaei 1.5.2 should be good an ready for
package maintainers when Gnome 2.31 comes to their machines and
when Gnome 3.0 is finally released.
* Searches when using & in the query work again instead of
being truncated as you type.
* The interface is now more responsive when a search is
carried out by edits to thread locking.
* Exact matching for the console version of gWaei was readded
because it is truly needed there
* The sandboxing issue caused by gtk-update-icon-cache for the
package maintainers.
* The README has been updated as it was woefully out of date.

Release of the first Public Binary of gWaei for Windows! Go get it!
Real progress has been made on a usable native gWaei binary for
Windows. It still needs some love, but it means the worst of the
port is over. I am currently looking for someone who wants to be a
Windows port maintainer. If you are interested and ready to learn,
I would be happy to have you aboard. Just contact us through our
IRC channel or email me.
What is still missing from the Windows version are:
* Spellcheck support through libsexy/enchant
* Preferences which will become possible once the code is ported
to GSettings from GConf
* Proper multithreading during searches
* Various polish issues
Otherwise, the program is working pretty well and it is exciting
seeing gWaei make it to more platforms.

Version 1.4.0 of gWaei is out! Go get it!
A fair amount more background reworking had went into this
release, and much of the interface has been tweaked to be smaller,
easier to maintain, and prettier.There is a revamped no results
page where you can search for the word online or in another
dictionary with just a click. There is also functionality to
search for a word in a new tab by right clicking it.
The command line now show download progress as a dictionary is
being installe,d, and has recieved some basic maintenace.

Version 1.3.1 and 1.2.3 of gWaei is out! Go get it!
This fixes corrupt dictionary installs because the whole file
wasn't being written to disk. If you have gWaei crash right at the
end of searches, it is most likely this bug. Install the update,
reinstall the dictionary, and you should be fine. (Alternatively,
install the dictionary then quit to force the whole file to be
written. Then searches should be fine.)
May 6, 2010
Version 1.2.2 of gWaei is out! Go get it!
But if you have 1.3.0, don't get it! This is a bug fix release
with minimal changes for distrobutions using ths e 1.2.x
series. This should remove crashes that appear when using a
version of gtk+ greater than 2.16.
March 19, 2010
Version 1.3.0 of gWaei is out! Go get it!
Now supports tabs. A lot of code rewritten. New ncurses interface
for the console version. Many bug fixes. Simpler preferences
dialog.
1.2.1:
This is a bug fix release. A few random crashers were fixed. The
installation prodecure was fixed when doing --disable-schemas-install.
1.2.0:
The results have been worked to have better, easier to skim
formatting. New German, French, and Spanish dictionaries have been added.
The dictionaries are now user-organizable. The radicals in the Radical
search tool now grey out when certain combinations do not return any
kanji. There are other general improvements to make the program easier to
use and remove bugs.
1.1.0:
The main window has a more balanced interface. Bugs have been
squashed here and there. Much code has been refactored, including
doxygen documentation. This release requires GNOME 2.26 level
dependencies, which corresponds approximately to Fedora 11 or Ubuntu
9. There is now an IRC channel at irc://irc.freenode.net/gwaei for
helping users with problems.
Version 1.0.1
Another release. The most important fix in this bugfix release is
where the romanji->hiragana conversion engine would convert "ge"
as "ke". Most othe bug fixes have to do with building the program
on different archintectures. If you have the program and it is
working fine for you, you may want to wait until gWaei 1.1 releases
in a week or so.

Version 1.0
Yay! It finally happened. This will be the stable version for a
while. I'm a bit sad that I had to drop support for Debian 5.0
(Lenny) though. Fortunately, it will be compatible with the next
version. The next stable version of gWaei will be 1.1. If you want
to see something fixed for it, please submit a bug report! gWaei
2.0 will have new features, a reworked interface, and hopefully be
all around better and more polished.
May 27, 2009
Version 1.0rc1
There were some small tweaks to the progam's code to get it to
compile under Windows correctly. There was also a small memory leak
when opening the help menu. This will be the last revision before
1.0!
May 16, 2009
Version 1.0b3
Small changes. Radicals have been reordered and some holes filled.
The number separators for the radicals have been made red to make
them more visible. RPM building has been slightly reworked. Libgnome
is no longer a dependancy.
April 25, 2009
Version 1.0b1
Most important thing fixed in this release is a minor buffer overflow
that caused the program to crash on Ubuntu 9. I have made some
headway on MS Windows support, but still am not 100% there yet.
The last important change is that when gnome is turned off in the
configuration for the build, GConf is no longer a forced dependancy.
Onward-ho to 1.0!
March 29, 2009
Version 0.15.4
This release brings some small changes and fixes. I have to thank
all of the contributors who helped. I have never had so many people
helping by submitting bugs, translations, and fixes. Thank you all!
The major notables this time are a reworked Radical Search Tool
window and a fix so that Mac OS X users should be bale to compile
the program.
I want to eventually release a 1.0 version of gWaei so that people
have something stable to use. In order to do this, I want to squash
the last of the large bugs and make the program usable on MS Windows
in the basic sense. If anyone wants to help, email me or contact
me through my blog.
