Brought to you by:

version 1.0.2 (May 27, 2010):
* Ported code to Win32 ~ added alternative code for special cases like
hotkey hook, selection capture, single instance check, etc.
* libnotify for Win32 (shared library) written from scratch
* Notification lookups are made a lot lightweight so that the notification
turnaround is much quicker; a proper lookup is made only on a window show
* If the user has disabled hotkey in prev. run, registers a new one in
current run, then the hookup doesn't happen. This is fixed now.
* On a futile look-up, notification shows the incorrect term now
* Query combo box mnemonic (Alt + Q) bug fixed.
* Fixed indirect dependencies (gold linker deb issue: 553965)
* Fixed incorrectly named "sense.index" to "index.sense"
(deb issue: 571948)
* Fixed a crash on looking up ".", "-" and "_" (lp issue: 531475)
version 1.0.1 (Jan 19, 2010):
* Suggestions will now be made with the localised dictionary given priority
* WordNet library database cyclic errors now treated as warnings for Detailed
mode to work on platforms with older WordNet builds like Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc.
(http://bugs.launchpad.net/artha/+bug/508250)
* Special hotkey modifiers like Super, Hyper, etc. will now work on all keyboards
* Fixed couple of potential leaks (wni.c - incorrect termination of if stmt. and
gui.c - destruction of hotkey editor obtained via gtk_builder_get_object
are now corrected)
* Altered sensitivity of GtkComboBoxEntry for desktop environments like KDE 4.3
* Made compund words uniform throughout all text docs
version 1.0.0 (Jan 10, 2010):
* New feature - hotkey editor - for customizing hotkeys
* Instance Handler - Multiple instances are handled gracefully, maintaining
one single unique instance always, across a session
* Sure shot window focus to the user on hotkey summoning
* Notifications are now a plug-in; no need for dev. headers of libnotify to build
* Lot of code clean-ups and minor fixes
version 0.9.1 (May 17, 2009):
* Null checks added to regex search variables/modules.
* Crash fixed in case of a missing sense.index file; an error is now thrown.
* Statusbar will now be updated for index load, normal lookups and regex searches.

status icon can be used to bring up the application.
* Loading message set on status bar when indexing.
* Startup Notification to the Desktop manager fixed.
* Configure.ac and Makefile.am modified to suit building WordNet from source.
version 0.9.0 (Apr 26, 2009):
* Regex based search feature is now implemented. Accepted pattern will be
based on Wildmat syntax I.e. * (wild card), ? (joker), [a|c-k] {2, }
(ranges), + can be used primarily.
* Double clicking on the definition textview, will now check for compound
words surrounding the actual selection, and if a valid match is found,
will jump to that for a look up rather than on the actual selection.
