• Version 14.1 - 2011 November 12
  
  • Added Firefox 8/9/10 compatibility.
• Version 14.0 - 2011 September 04
  
  • Added fallback options for EPWING mode. I really should have added this feature ages ago as it makes EPWING mode so much nicer to use. In previous versions, if the highlighted word wasn't found in the currently active dictionary, you would get a rather unpleasant “Entry not found.” message. Now, you have 3 options (in the options dialog) on how this situation should be handled:
    1. Use the next available EPWING dictionary. So if you have 3 dictionaries and the active dictionary is dictionary 2, if the entry was not found, search dictionary 3, if the entry was still not found, search dictionary 1. If none of the EPWING dictionaries contain the word, use the default rikaichan JMDICT dictionary.
    2. Ignore any other EPWING and just use the default rikaichan JMDICT dictionary.
    3. Display the “Entry not found.” message (in case you actually liked that behavior).
  • The number of the currently active EPWING dictionary is now shown in the top-right corner of the popup. (Thanks nest0r!). This is especially handy if the search has to fall back to another EPWING dictionary.
  • Added a slot for a 4th EPWING dictionary (Thanks dtcamero!)
  • Fixed the way search works for EPWING and Sanseido modes. Searches will now use the kana for a word where it makes sense (specifically, if the kana lookup matches the highlighted word, search with the kana and not the kanji). This fixes things like searching for 乃 when の is highlighted, or searching for 米 when メートル is highlighted. (This is another one that I should have added ages ago).
  • You can know remap almost every key. Just be careful not to map 2 things to the same key (it won't hurt anything, but one of the things won't function unless you remap it).
  • If the popup is blank as result of the user-specified EPWING regex, ignore it and display the full results.
  • Added tool tips to the Rikaisan-specific items in the options dialog. This includes tool tips for the save format tokens.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the EPWING lookup from being parsed correctly for single kanji that aren’t standalone words. You would see something like “{HITS: 1} rest of definition...” when this happened.
  • In EPWING mode, reduced the size of the superscript text.
  • Added UTF-8 replacements for some of the more common gaiji in the Meikyo J-J dictionary. Also added a couple for Kenkyusha 5th.
• Version 13.3 - 2011 September 02
  
  • Added support for Firefox 6/7.
• Version 13.2 - 2011 July 08
  
  • EPWING Mode: Added option to show the highlighted word's conjugation.
  • EPWING Mode: Added option to remove lines that match the user specified regular expression. For example, here is a RegEx that will remove the romaji and the example sentences for kenkyusha 5th: "\n[・▲◧◨].+|ﾛｰﾏ.+"
  • EPWING Mode: Added Linux/Mac support. You must have bash and wine installed. I have only tested with Linux Mint. Maybe somebody with a Mac can let us know if it works for them.
  • Fixed Sticky Mode and Super Sticky Mode so that that you can once again click inside the popup without it disappearing.
• Version 13.1 - 2011 July 04
  
  • Fixed bug that allowed you to highlight a word with say 4 entries, switch to entry 4, then immediately highlight another word (making sure that the popup wasn't closed) with say only 2 entries. At this point the text at the top of the popup would say 4/2 and the definition text would be blank. This bug was most apparent in Super Sticky Mode.
  • Fixed bug that prevented other startup options from being automatically enabled when the lookup bar startup option was enabled.
  • Fixed the ESC key not working in Super Sticky Mode.
• Version 13.0 - 2011 July 03
  
  • Added EPWING Support.
  • Rikaisama-in-rikaisama.
  • Moved Sanseido Mode to the "O" key (the "P" key is now used by EPWING Mode).

  • Fixed the "Always enable at startup" option not working.

    • Super Sticky Mode
  • When saving sentences, the sentences will no longer stop when furigana is encountered.
  • The save feature now honors the "Show word type indicators [example: (v1,n)]" and "Show popular indicator [example: (P)]" options.
  • Fixed the up/down dictionary buttons in the Dictionary tab of the options dialog.
  • In Super Sticky mode, alt tags in an image will no longer cause a popup when hovered over unless the image is ctrl-clicked.
  • Toggling Sanseido Mode or Super Sticky mode no longer shows an enable/disable popup. Instead, this message has been placed in the status bar.
  • When toggling Sanseido Mode on, automatically look up the currently highlighted word.

  • Incorporated changes from the official Rikaichan v2.03.

  • Some changes to Super Sticky mode
    • Clicking outside of the popup will remove the popup.
    • Ctrl-Right Mouse button is now the preferred method to select a word because it won't follow links. I fixed it so it will no longer bring up the usual right-click context menu. You can still use Ctrl+Left/Middle mouse buttons if you want, but just don't use them on links.
    • Ctrl-Left Mouse will no longer hilite the surrounding table element.
  • This extension now has a new name (Rikaichan: RevTK Community Edition).

  • The "Sentence" field is now delimited by a newline character in addition to the "。" character. That is, a sentence starts at the previous newline character or "。" character before the highlighted word and ends at the next newline character or "。" character after the highlighted word.
  • In the save file's "Translation" field, each meaning is now separated by a semi-colon instead of a slash.
  • Removed the "Field separator" drop-down from the "Clipboard & Save" preference tab.
