IPA Palette Changelog
What's new in IPA Palette 2.2.1
Dec 18, 2014- Complete localizations for IPA Manager.
New in IPA Palette 2.2 (Mar 15, 2014)
- Bugs Fixed:
- No longer use an installer; for Mavericks compatibility we now have an app called IPA Manager that will install IPA Palette for you. Future versions will have an automatic update capability.
- Restored the ExtIPA Nasal Escape symbol, which went missing somewhere along the line, probably in the 2.0 transition.
- Multicharacter symbols like /ǃ¡/ from ExtIPA can now have keyboard shortcuts displayed (if you have a really good keyboard layout!).
- Finally diagnosed the reason I could never seem to change the preview font in Snow Leopard -- a Core Text bug or misfeature that was cacheing font data based on the address of the string object I was passing on, instead of its content (since I was reusing a mutable string).
- New Features:
- You can click in an unoccupied part of an image map (a part that has no IPA symbol and thus doesn't hilite under your mouse) and drag it out into a new mini-palette (I call them "auxiliaries"). This way you can have available whatever subset of the IPA you use the most, without having to keep switching between tabs. The auxiliary palettes hide when you hide the main one, and are saved to your preferences.
- Some optimizations to the PDF image map related to mouse tracking should benefit performance and memory use.
- Mouse tracking starts up before font scanning finishes, so you can have symbol description information available earlier, even if you have many fonts installed.
- Made it possible to rearrange the custom symbols layout by dragging rows in the table. (You can copy if you hold down the Option key.)
New in IPA Palette 2.1.1 (Aug 6, 2012)
- Several bugs in the 'uchr' parser for keyboard layouts were fixed.
- The voiced uvular implosive (ʛ) symbol was missing in 2.1 (and maybe previous versions?), replaced by an extra bilabial click (ʘ). This has been corrected.
- Modifier keys in keyboard shortcuts are shaded a dark reddish color to make them easier to scan.
