New in Zekr 0.7.1 (Sep 24, 2008)

  • Features/Enhancements: A new buffering (pre-fetching) scheme is used to avoid lags between reciting two ayas. This is done using a hidden flash player, which pre-fetches and loads the next aya. Added or updated some language packs and localized sura names (quran-properties-he.xml, russian.xml, spanish.xml, german.xml, arabic.xml, persian.xml) Windows installer script changed to support smart deletion when uninstalling the software. It now logs installed files, and so does not delete files which are changed or added after installation.
  • Bug fixes: A blocker bug which prevents Zekr starting fixed. It happened when the user disabled audio support through Tools > Options menu. A bug fixed with sending flash JavaScript events to a browser without any flash player. This happened when separate layout is selected (in which flash player is loaded in the translation browser). A bug fixed which caused menu icons being shown in Mac when toggling play-pause state of the player. Icons are not shown intentionally in Mac.

New in Zekr 0.7.0 (Aug 31, 2008)

  • Features/Enhancements:
  • Ctrl+F focuses on the visible search box.
  • A new stand-alone bookmarking feature: Bookmark This Aya. This feature is available through Ctrl+D, or Bookmarks > Bookmark This Aya menu item. It adds a default title to the bookmark item (based on the current aya) as well as the current Quran location to it.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Changed the way quran-root is loaded. It was incompatible with GCJ.
  • An error message box is now shown when indexing error occurs. User indexing cancellation is not assumed as an error.
  • Show the correct bookmark references to an aya. It was looking for an incorrect Quran location since last beta release.
  • A bug with toggling full screen fixed. It caused application to remain in full screen mode, even after pressing again Toggle full menu item.
