[Peter Bienstman]

Mnemosyne 2.3 : 2014-04-15

 

(Note that for Windows users we recommend uninstalling the previous version before installing the new one.)

 

The sync protocol has changed in this version, so make sure you update both the client and the server at the same time.

 

-A quick-and-dirty Android client is available, where you can do reviews in  your mobile browser using a webserver which runs on your Android device.

 This client has full support for the syncing protocol.

-The functionality of mnemosyne-webserver has now been merged into the main  program and can be activated through 'Configure Mnemosyne - servers'.

-Time to create backups has decreased, in some situations even by a factor  of 2 or more, speeding up syncing and program exit.

-Sped up all editing operations in the card browser.

-The name of the currently active saved set of cards is now listed in title  bar (requested by Silverbear).

-Added new statistic: number of new cards learned per day.

-Also sync relevant settings (e.g. fonts, colours, ...) during the initial  sync.

-Improve the timeout handling of the sync protocol.

-New Ukranian, Swedish, Serbian, Catalan translation.

-Fix erroneous 'Wrong username or password' error.

-Rework error handling when trying to load a database which no longer exists  in its previous location.

-Keep the sort order in the card browser when editing cards (reported by  Gnome and Tristan).

-Added command line options --sync-server and --web-server which starts the  sync and the web server in headless mode (i.e. without a GUI) (useful to run  e.g. on a NAS server).

-Fix more errors coming from loading config files (thanks to Alex Fevery for  reporting this).

-Added an extra popup to guide new people better through the learning process  (feedback from Bjorn Maes).

-Fix crash when exporting to cards format when Latex was not installed  (reported by Gwern).

-Make card conversion more robust for badly formatted card (reported by Gnome).

-When editing a card through the browser, make sure the correct set of tags is  displayed if sister cards have different tags (requested by Scott Youngman).

-Allow converting a Cloze card to a clone of a Cloze card through the browser  (requested by Scott Youngman).

-Instruct people on the correct way to deal with '*.cards' files if they try  to open it as a separate database (Kensor0).

-Make it clearer what 'Find duplicates' does.

-Various cosmetic fixes when importing *.cards files (reported by Ansgar  Bohmann).

-Fix tag tree sometimes not updating correctly if the user adds a new tag.

-People writing e.g. Javascript card and needing access to the full path of  the media directory can now use db_media:///foo.png (requested by Gnome).

-Flash files are now synced as well (reported by heldtfisken).

-When editing a card where different sister cards have different tags, ask if  the tags should be applied to the current card or to all sister cards.

-Fix Windows crash when using the card browser with cards imported from  Supermemo (reported by Piotr).

-Fix crash when renaming cloned card types through the card browser.

-Make Mnemosyne 1.x import more robust (reported by Jack Thro).

-Don't allow saving the database to a network drive under Windows to prevent  corruption (reported by Brendan Sinclair).

-Fix sync error that could occur when adding and immediately deleting multiple  sister cards from the card browser.

-Fix latex / cloze interaction corner case (reported by Daniele Parisi).

-Fix corner case of overzealous introduction of media dir in expansion (reported by Toni Alsford).

-Make sure latex images are always in sync when updating text.

-If adding an extra tag when importing a 'cards' file, don't keep the tag  'Untagged' (patch by crcmail0). If you were affected by this issue before,  'compact database' will solve this.
