Help text was written. Smarts were added to the
search dialog. The Back and Forward buttons were
removed. New and updated translations were added
for the ca, fi, it, ta, uk, vi, and wa locales.
Major user interface improvements were made. Character details are in a text view. Links are followed to referenced characters; a backward and forward link history was added. Active block is highlighted. The program also finds out which font is being used to draw each character.
The most significant change is the addition of the
gucharmap input method module. Other changes
include an update to Unicode 4.0, all Unicode
information comes from unicode.org data files, it no
longer uses any out-of-date glib Unicode functions, and
it adds a snap columns to power of two option. Search
is a dialog now, and find-previous was implemented.
This version features character magnification, accessibility support, additional Unicode character details, a pretty drag icon, a Win32 installer, command-line options, right-to-left support, additional translations, and other improvements.
