Release list
v1.0.1
-
Windows 10 and 11: run
lexiglance-windows-setup.exe. It needs no administrator rights and opens Lexiglance when it is done.lexiglance-windows-portable.zipis the same without installing. -
Linux: make
lexiglance-x86_64.AppImageexecutable and run it, or installlexiglance-amd64.debon Debian and Ubuntu. -
Windows: PaddleOCR no longer fails after Download PaddleOCR with "Unsupported model IR version: 10, max
supported IR version: 9". Lexiglance used the older ONNX Runtime that Windows keeps for itself; it now uses only the
one it downloads. On Linux too, OCR downloaded while Lexiglance runs works without restarting it. -
Help: on the first start, a short card lists what you can do and where. Help, at the bottom left, shows it
again. -
Overview -> Startup -> Also start this window, hidden in the tray: the settings application starts at login as a
tray icon. -
Every page updates as things change: OCR's state right after a download, the health checks, About, and Anki when it
starts or closes. No need to switch pages. -
The mouse wheel scrolls every page again; before, it did nothing until a page's scroll bar had been clicked.
-
Downloads show one steady progress bar with the sizes on it, instead of text that jumped between files.
-
Updates: Overview -> Updates installs the newest release (Update to …, or Reinstall … when this is
already it) and, unless turned off, does so on its own. Each copy gets the build it was installed from: the Windows
setup, the portable .zip, the AppImage or the .deb (which asks for your password), checked against the release's
SHA256SUMS, then Lexiglance opens again.
