2.5

[arianneorpilla]

This release implements ChatGPT support via OpenAI's unofficial REST API and Mokuro HTML support, enabling tap to select reading and mining of pre-processed manga volumes, and a variety of quality of life and stability improvements.

System Requirements: This application has been tested to work on a variety of devices and emulators running Android 7 to 13. Please note that a significant amount of internal storage space may be taken up by the dictionary database for indexing in order to optimize query speed and performance. Try to give the application around 2-4GB of storage space.

Existing Users: Please note that there are changes to the default card template in order to make duplicate checks work. Existing users will need to set the Term field as the first field if they are using jidoujisho Yuuna card type. Swap the Term field with the Sentence field in AnkiDroid via Manage note types if your card type was made prior to this version. New users will have the new card type field ordering by default.

2.5

📚 Mokuro Support

• Mokuro - A new reader media source will allow users to view manga volumes pre-processed as single HTML files via Mokuro.
• Users will be able to tap to select and get the current image when mining with the source.
• Users may bookmark and add online catalogs of Mokuro volumes for quick access in between volumes, allowing convenient online access to community repositories.
• Viewing an online catalog allows the user to browse to a volume. When the WebView loads into a Mokuro HTML file, the media source may take a very brief time before it switches modes to allow the user to mine and highlight text.
• Users may also import a local HTML file on their device (note that relative images must also be in the appropriate location in the filesystem) or use a direct URL.
• Users may use volume button scrolling when reading with the Mokuro media source.
• Viewing Mokuro volumes with the app defaults to portrait mode. The app automatically toggles single and dual page modes when changing orientation.

🤖 ChatGPT Support

• ChatGPT - Users can now interact with ChatGPT-3.5 by logging into their OpenAI account. Login tokens expire and it is possible that users may need to solve a captcha occasionally.
• Users may chat and may highlight text sent and received in the app, in various languages supported by ChatGPT. Users are advised not to heavily rely on an AI language model if they cannot accurately distinguish its correctness and accuracy.
• Clearing the chat will start a new conversation with ChatGPT.
• Please note that this project is not associated with OpenAI, and that ChatGPT is in active development. As this version's implementation relies on an unofficial REST API, it is possible at some point that support and integration for this feature may require updates to retain its functionality, or may be discontinued.
• As the API may change from time to time, the app now relies on Firebase Remote Config, meaning the user will generally not longer be required to update the app if the latest working reverse proxy API URL changes.

🎴 Duplicate Checks

• Existing users will need to set their template that they want to check duplicates for (the Term or Word field) as the first field of their card type for this to function. For users that use the app's provided card type, You may do this via the Manage note types option in AnkiDroid and swapping the Term and Sentence fields in place. New users will have an updated default card type and template, and no change is necessary from this version onwards.
• The app will now show a red icon for the Card Creator and Instant Export quick actions if there are notes in AnkiDroid with the currently selected card type that are found to have the same first field value as a dictionary entry's Term.
• This works on recently exported cards or cards that have been exported with the app after the user has installed this version.

🎈 Quality of Life Features

• Single Dictionary Select - A new button on the rightmost tag of a dictionary entry allows users to select a single dictionary meaning when opening the Card Creator or use Instant Export. Users using the Expanded and Collapsed Meaning fields will have the single dictionary in the Expanded Meaning and the remaining fields in the Collapsed Meaning if they use this option.
• Field Locks - Users may select the leftmost icon of a field when using the Card Creator to lock a field. Locked fields will not clear upon export while the Card Creator is open. This is useful if a user wants to export multiple cards from the same field value.
• Sentence Picker - A new enhancement in the Sentence field will allow users to select sentences delimited by punctuation and spacing.

🛠️ Miscellaneous Changes

• The Text Segmentation button has been replaced with the Sentence Picker button in the ChatGPT and WebSocket media sources, and YouTube comments.
• Using the Creator action will now set the selection as the sentence rather than the term in various selectable text widgets. This change has been made to make snipping a sentence from ChatGPT's responses easier, among other use cases.
• Implemented caching for multiple media sources, enhancements and quick actions which fetch online resources, such as images and audio. The app will now use less bandwidth and will not request resources that have already been fetched in the current session, and may also cache in between sessions.
• Added Camera, Pick Image and Crop Image as default Image field enhancements on first time use.
• Added Pick Audio and Audio Recorder as default Term Audio enhancements on first time use.
• Added an option that allows the Reader WebView not to override the app theme.
• Fixed an issue where the Reader WebView would not have options for light mode and forced dark mode themes only.
• Fixed an issue where selecting the Channel option on a video media item's detail page would sometimes not work.
• Fixed an issue where the status bar would hide after recursive searching or opening the Creator when viewing YouTube comments.
• Fixed an issue where the collapsed/expanded/hidden preference of a dictionary might not update correctly after the value has been changed.
• Fixed an issue where starts with results were prioritized over exact results when searching in media sources. Searching on search bars will prioritize starts with results, while searching in media sources will now prioritize exact results. This addresses an issue that may occur a lot in Mokuro media sources.
• Fixed an issue with the Crop enhancement where its dialog may not appear.
• Fixed an issue where opening the Crop enhancement dialog will show the first image to be cropped even on subsequent attempts to crop.
• Fixed an issue where searching audio with the JapanesePod101 source would not show an appropriate error toast if a result was not found.
• Fixed an issue where using the ImmersionKit enhancement will play audio even if no item has been selected yet.
• Fixed an issue where appending sentences with the ImmersionKit enhancement would replace image and audio.
• Fixed an issue which prevented cached Bing images from being re-exported.
• Fixed an issue where Jellyfin would display that progress tracking is not supported with the external player. Media will now also track progress if the session is exited back to Jellyfin or the app enters inactive state, and will be marked as done if nearly finished. Videos played from Jellyfin will now also start based on tracked progress.
• Fixed a possible black screen that may occur when switching apps while the Jellyfin media source is in use.
• Fixed an issue related to Android intents that may cause previous intents to fire.
• Fixed an issue where the expanded/collapsed arrows beside dictionary entries would not change and display correctly.
• Fixed an issue related to long text using a marquee animation showing unwanted widget rebuilds in the dictionary, profile and catalog menus.

🦢 A swan song of sorts

I know that I've been at it non-stop with the updates lately. Over the last few months since I released 2.0, I have been able to sit with more comfort knowing that my app has matured as of late. There really is so much going on in the codebase that I can't help but reflect on what I could do now knowing better the requirements and optimal project architecture than when I started the Yuuna rewrite.

This version marks the last missing feature that I could not carry over from Chisa, reading manga. The community has done a great job of make looking up, reading and mining manga a very lightweight and straightforward experience on the go. This app, that was a mere video player that queried words from Jisho.org back then is now what it is now because of the variety of learning experiences that I have been through, both in terms of my fluency in Japanese and Dart. And then I was able to make it work with YouTube, then with novels, then song lyrics, then visual novels via a WebSocket server, and so on and so forth, all while also having to improve my ability to work with language parsers and my aptitude for the data structures and algorithms relevant to the task. I've come to know a lot of people who I share aspirations with, and fellow developers to learn from and work with.

I personally wouldn't have taken any other way, as apparent the positives and negatives to this road I've taken are. More and more users are reaching out to me, and what was once a simple botched together video player has now become what it is today. Just that makes me hopeful. I'm really just happy I'm able to keep working on this thing, it has been a real vehicle for me to learn all kinds of things. As always I'd like to thank all of my users, most especially the testers that volunteer their time to inform me of any issues that I overlook -- this thing is massive now and I'm not able to discern all of the things going on under the hood myself.

There is still a lot that I want to do, and the app being as stable as it is now is the perfect opportunity for me to work on user and developer documentation and doing some clean-up. I anticipate in the future that I cannot run as wild as I have in the past few months. I will probably be really busy soon, and I'll probably sit back as an observer -- the perfect opportunity for me to sit back and actually use this thing, so I can get some insight for myself on the best way forward, but I trust that with this version I'll be leaving things in a good place, and with all these new new changes and features, you'll be in comfort for the long while to come.

Happy learning and whatever goals you have, I hope this version helps you get to it! Anyway, that's enough from me . I'm off to read some more ROBOTICS;NOTES!
