v0.3.2

What's new in v0.3.2

• Much faster Gemini translation with Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite and minimal thinking.
• Clear error messages for timeouts, rate limits, service outages, network failures, and invalid API keys.
• Safer sending: prevents stale translations from overwriting newer drafts and verifies the English text before auto-send.
• Send interception is now limited to the actual chat composer, so other editable areas on claude.ai are unaffected.
• Partial reply-translation failures remain retryable instead of being silently skipped.
• Improved enable/disable handling and aligned request timeouts to prevent premature failure messages.
• Rebranded consistently as Yifa (译发) · ZH-EN Relay, with updated documentation, demos, and privacy disclosures.

v0.3.0

What's new in v0.3.0

• Pre-send bilingual review: your original Chinese shows above the box while you check the English — Enter to send, Esc to undo.
• Your own sent bubbles now show Chinese underneath (exact original for new messages, translation for older ones), with the same layout modes as replies.
• Dark mode across all injected UI, following claude.ai's theme.
• Live engine check in the popup shows which engine is actually in effect.
• Sturdier networking: rate-limit retries, capped cache, more tolerant Gemini parsing.

What's new in v0.2.0

• Engine settings tucked under "Advanced"; a live check shows which engine is actually in effect.
• Reply translations are cached, so switching layout modes is instant.
• Faster, more reliable reply detection; retries on rate limits.
