Hi All, v0.5.0 is now available for all platforms, Android, iOS and Windows. (Well, the windows version is in Microsoft Store Processing, should be available in few hours). Lots of changes, fixes and improvements, including announcement fixes and improvements. First cut at supporting Dutch and Slovenian braille + corresponding translations. Conditional help generation for Android, iOS and Windows, so features not present in the platform are not in the help. New commands: changelog, help Both open the corresponding in text mode in a read only braille buffer that you can read using MBraille preview commands. MBraille text search works there too. Swipe up with 4 fingers to close the text and get back to your text in MBraille. New command: speedtest Allows you to practise typing speed. Fixed some non-English announcements. Fixed encoding of mail, all spaces were replaced by + sign when sending mail with mail or feedback commands. Next I plan to make it friendlier for VoiceOver, which may take a while. I already did one attempt which did not quite work out, but I'm optimistic I'll get there in the end. Many other goodies and features in planning though, so stay tuned for more messages on this channel. Best regards, Harri
I'll check again in a few hours, but in the App Distribution app, the latest one is still 0.4.12. Richard, "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."
