v0.1.21

What's new

Emoji keyboard 🎉 — a 😀 toggle beside the alphabet picker, on both surfaces:

• Main app: 😀 in the bottom bar, left of the alphabet picker
• IME keyboard: 😀 in the top bar (Float | 😀 | Hide); the editing strip stays a pure edit-action row

Tap 😀 to switch to the emoji tree (9 topical groups — two zoom levels to any emoji, including 👨‍👩‍👧 families and skin tones), tap Abc to return to your previous alphabet mid-sentence. The return alphabet is remembered across surfaces and restarts.

Keyboard opens where you left it — docked or floating, the choice now persists across shows. Docked stays the default.

DasherCore v0.2.26 underneath — brings the Emoji alphabet data.

Fixes since v0.1.20

• IME remembers dock/float mode (Heide's feedback: "start it directly as docked, like other keyboards do")

v0.1.14

Fixes

• Input filter preference now survives restart (DasherCore v0.2.16) — the input method selected in Settings → Input is no longer silently reset on every launch
• Settings crash fixed — an invalid UTF-8 byte in a parameter description aborted the process when opening Settings
• Alphabet picker shows all 475 alphabets — was showing 1 (the engine wasn't realizing before the list was queried)
• Training data 51MB lighter — corpora capped at 400KB (character-level PPM plateaus well before this, and the trainer parses the entire file at alphabet load)

Includes DasherCore v0.2.14 + v0.2.16

• 150 alphabets trained on real Tatoeba sentences (was 48) — 91 training corpora from WorldAlphabets v0.1.1
• Lazy alphabet loading — engine startup 3-4× faster
• Colour-token normalization — all WorldAlphabets render weighted trees

v0.1.12 — all 32 UI locales (RFC 0003)

What's Changed

• feat: values-XX generated from shared catalogue (RFC 0003) by @willwade

Notable changes

Dasher for Android now speaks 32 languages — the full DasherCore locale set. The UI chrome (toolbar, settings, dialogs, toasts) localises from a single shared catalogue at dasher-shared-resources. Translators edit one file; both Android and GTK pick it up. French is hand-reviewed; other locales are machine-translated seeds.

Also includes DasherCore v0.2.9 engine fixes: restart drift (canvas flinging on pause/resume), steering drift (auto-calibration no longer mislearns), and letter-family group colours restored.
