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* The README has been updated as it was woefully out of date.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.)

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.
