Good news for Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 users: unofficial packages of Tagaini are available for these systems. Thanks to Geza Kovacs for maintaining them!

One of the most common complain about Tagaini Jisho from non-English users is the fact that the dictionaries not available in languages other than English, except for a few (and very partial) exceptions. This is about to change. We started a new community effort on Transifex to help translate JMdict and kanjidic2, the main data sources of Tagaini into your language:

https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/jmdict-i18n/

You can join one of the language teams (or ask to create new ones), and simply start translating dictionary and kanji entries. The result will be released under a Creative Commons licence, and will be integrated into Tagaini and potentially many other projects that use JMdict and kanjidic2.

So, if you want to improve the landscape of Japanese study software, do not hesitate and join!

Another day, another point release - this is what you get for not releasing your software during more than one year. This new version fixes a bug that affected a small number of users, effectively preventing them from starting the program. It also introduces some optimizations in the databases layout that reduces their size by 13 MB and improves entry loading performance. Upgrade is recommanded but not mandatory if 0.9.1 was working for you.

The first point release in the 0.9 series is available. It only fixes one serious issue: the new version checker was totally non-functional since 0.9rc, so this version has been released as soon as possible and the faulty versions retired. It is recommended for all users to upgrade to ensure you remain informed about new versions.
