1.0.0-rc.1
bba6cd4

This is a release candidate of Manju IME 1.0.0, published for testing before the final release. Manju IME is an input method editor (IME) for Windows that types the Manchu script: you spell a word in Latin letters, and the candidate window shows it in Manchu letters.

The programs in this release report version 1.0.0, as the final 1.0.0 release will. To tell the two builds apart, compare the SHA-256 checksums below with those published with the final release.

Install

Download Manju-IME-1.0.0-rc.1-win-x64.zip and unzip it into a folder you will keep. In the Installer folder, run Install Manju IME.exe. Installing Manju IME shows every page of Setup, and the Requirements list what Manju IME needs.

The programs are not code-signed, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may warn when you start Setup, and where Smart App Control is on, Windows may block Setup.

Known issues

  • The six display schemes show the Mongolian vowel separator (U+180E) as an apostrophe, while every input scheme types it with the hyphen key; a spelling copied from the display does not type the separator.
  • ᡯᡳ᠌ (zi) cannot be typed with the BabelPad, Hu, Möllendorff and Norman input schemes: their sources spell it dz (Hu: z) by its place in the word, and the key tables of Manju IME 1.0.0 do not look at the place. Type it with Abkai or Refined Romanisation (draft). The Möllendorff display scheme spells it dzi.
  • ᡮᡟ (ci) cannot be typed with the Norman input scheme, for the same reason: Norman spells it ts.
  • In a very long word, about 50 letters or more, the candidate window falls behind the keys. Typing word by word is not affected.
  • In Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and the other programs built on Chromium, a shortcut with Ctrl, Alt or the Windows key, or a function key, pressed in the middle of a word may leave a dot in the document or drop the word. Press Space, Enter or Esc to end the word first.
  • In Microsoft Word, when Manju IME is listed under English (United States), the keys can go into the document without the IME. A fix is planned for 1.0.0.
  • The comma and full stop keys give the Mongolian comma ᠂ and full stop ᠃, and the [ and ] keys give the Manchu comma ᠈ and full stop ᠉. Manju IME 1.0.0 gives the Manchu marks on the comma and full stop keys.
