kana-trainer 1.3.0

Fixed

• A run with every answer right said "Nearly perfect". It now says "Perfect", with the grades in between rebalanced around it.
• Quitting a run part way through scored and saved it. A run only counts once finished; stopping one, or leaving the quiz screen through the header, now throws it away.
• Multiple choice could offer two options meaning the same thing, marking a right answer wrong. Options are now compared on what they show or play, not on their id.
• The android apk was signed with a freshly generated key on every release, so Android refused to install one over another and only a clean install worked. Releases now carry a fixed signing key. Uninstall any earlier apk once before installing this one; updates work normally from here.

Added

• A confirmation before a run is stopped, with the clock held while it is up.
• A splash over the finished run: an emoji for the grade and confetti for the good ones. Tap or wait to reach the report.
• More question counts, a custom count from 10 to 500, and one pass.
• A difficulty under Settings, deciding how many wrong answers are deliberate look alikes.
• A separate character set per alphabet, as a tab each when hiragana and katakana are both on.
• Reports filter by today, yesterday, last week or last month, with icon buttons to select all, clear and load.
• A Mistakes by group panel under the reports charts, filing every miss by set and row.

Changed

• The Time trial block is now called Settings, since it holds more than timing.
• The theme switcher is an icon button pinned to the right of the header.
• Removed the navigation buttons from the chart, reports and character picker screens, which the header already covers.

kana-trainer 1.2.0

Fixed

• Audio freezes and sound effects.
• Muffeled sound effects and general app freezed when switches tabs.

Added

• Dakuon, handakuon and yoon characters, 104 in total. Each is a separate switch under Extras and stays off by default.
• Rows for the yoon characters: きゃ, しゃ, ちゃ, にゃ, ひゃ, みゃ, りゃ, ぎゃ, じゃ, びゃ and ぴゃ.
• A Chart view next to Reports: every character as a square tile with the romaji above the hiragana and katakana, grouped by seion, dakuon, handakuon and yoon and split by row. Tapping a tile plays its sound.
• Splash screen for app startup.

Changed

• Character sounds now come from veardk/just-gojuon, which covers every character rather than the 46 basic ones.
• All clips are pitch and loudness normalised to one voice level by scripts/normalize-audio.py. The source recordings drift from 149 Hz to 367 Hz and vary 15 dB in level.
• Audio to text and text to audio work with every character set, so switching one on no longer forces text only mode.
• Clips live in public/audio/<group>/<romaji>.mp3 instead of public/audio/kana/.
• A stored includeDakuten setting from an older version turns into dakuon plus handakuon on load.

kana-trainer 1.1.0

Added

• Windows, macOS and Android packages: the release workflow now builds deb, rpm, Arch, an .exe installer, a universal .dmg and an .apk
• A build-pkg-* tag builds a chosen subset of those packages as workflow
  artifacts.
• A playwright smoke test covering that the app opens, a run starts and a character sound really plays, run on every release and in ci.

Changed

• Responsive layout for desktop, tablet and phone.
• New design for the app to make it more modern
• New app icons and optimized icons for android sdk <25
• Quizes optimized for mobile and touch devices.
• Assets load through one reusable store that keeps the bytes and hands out blob URLs.
• Screens are split into small components under src/lib/components/<screen>/

Removed

• The build, package, container, dev and test shell scripts as scripts/publish.sh publishes to crates.io and the github workflows do everything else.
• Flatpack and appimage as a build and release target. Native binaries already cover all major distros. An extra target stalls the ci too much. Appimage is bugged on tauri with wayland, waiting for fix (see: readest/readest#190).

kana-trainer 1.0.1

Fixed

• Kana audio not playing on Linux release builds: WebKitGTK's media backend cannot
  stream from the tauri:// custom protocol, so <audio src="..."> silently failed
  there even though the same URL worked with fetch(). Sounds are now fetched and
  played back as blobs instead.

kana-trainer 1.0.0

First stable release.

Added

• Practice hiragana, katakana or both, in either direction: kana to romaji, romaji to kana or mixed
• Three question formats: text to text, audio to text and text to audio, with 46 recorded character sounds
• Two answer styles: multiple choice with four options, or typing the romaji yourself
• Time trial with 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds per question and an optional limit for the whole run
• Character selection by single character, whole row, or the characters you keep getting wrong
• Optional dakuten and handakuten rows, text to text only for now
• Score reports saved on disk, loaded and exported as JSON files
• Charts for the characters, rows and alphabets you struggle with
• One click to turn past mistakes into a new practice set
• Keyboard controls: 1 to 4 to answer, Enter to submit, r to replay a sound, Escape to leave a run
• Linux packaging for deb, rpm, AppImage, Arch and Flatpak
