Word Hunter 1.0.8 — Reliable sync and faster Android startup
Word Hunter 1.0.8 makes vocabulary status synchronization deterministic across
devices and substantially shortens Android startup. Existing vocabulary and
sync records remain compatible.
Highlights
- Reliable vocabulary status merge: Each explicit status change carries its
own timestamp. A later decision such as changing a word from Learning to
Known wins even when another device later synchronizes older status data.
Translation, notes, and other metadata still merge independently. - Safe legacy conflicts: Older records without a status timestamp use a
deterministic fallback that prevents a Known word from unexpectedly
returning to Learning or New. - Faster Android startup: The startup JavaScript graph is bundled into one
request, while library hydration, update checks, and translator checks wait
until after the first frame. - Lighter library loading: Word Hunter loads the active text when needed
instead of eagerly loading every saved book and PDF at startup. - Secure Android loopback: Release builds allow cleartext traffic only to
the local Word Hunter backend onlocalhostand127.0.0.1.
