Thousands of hours of work have gone into developing and supporting Anki. Please consider supporting the author so that Anki can continue to improve.

Changes

If you're upgrading from 1.0.1 or earlier, please see the 1.2.0 release notes first.

Changes in 1.2.11

1.2.11 is a Linux-only release. It fixes a bug introduced by Qt 4.8 that broke cloze deletion, thanks to Jonas Grote.

Changes in 1.2.10

1.2.10 is a Linux-only release. It fixes a bug introduced by Qt 4.8 that was breaking Japanese reading generation, and a warning message on startup with the latest SQLAlchemy.

Changes in 1.2.9

1.2.9 is a source-only release for Linux distros that have upgraded to SQLAlchemy 0.7. If you don't use Linux, or you use Linux but 1.2.8 is working for you, there is no need to upgrade.

Changes in 1.2.8

• Fixed a bug where failing a card didn't reset its interval when per day scheduling was off.
• Set the type in answer box to use the same font as the field.
• Add Latvian translation, and updated other translations, thanks to the translators.

Changes in 1.2.7

• Fix boost after initial hard not being applied if the card was due later in the day.
• Fix for images not being displayed on Windows machines that didn't have have the visual C++ DLLs installed.
• Fix negative intervals in cram mode under certain circumstances.
• Don't apply a mature bonus when cramming.
• Fix downloading of shared decks/plugins in networks that transparently decompress connections.
• Fix broken remote image links.
• Fix a DB check not correcting some problems with suspended cards.
• Ensure tags are updated when templates are renamed.
• Pressing cancel after File>New will now clean up the interface properly.
• When no decks have syncing enabled, warn the user instead of just saying "sync finished".

Changes in 1.2.6

• Add a separate option for configuring spacing of sibling review cards, instead of piggybacking off the new card setting which was confusing. The spacing is relative again like 1.0, but now each card is spaced relative to its own interval, and any time less than a day is ignored. This means at the default setting of 10%, other review cards won't be spaced unless they have an interval of at least 10 days.
• Fixed exporting of anki decks and packaged decks when you have media stored in DropBox or a custom location.
• Disabling and enabling syncing no longer forces a full sync.
• Some fixes for type in the answer issues from Bernhard.
• Dragging text or media onto unfocused fields now correctly updates the field.
• When the clock rolls over to a new day during reviews, the queue is immediately rebuilt with the new day's cards.
• Fixed media with foreign characters showing in the editor but not during reviews for some people. Also, ampersands are now stripped from filenames, because the GUI toolkit can't handle them properly.
• When the congratulations screen is reached, stop the timebox.
• Fix a card's ease not being updated if it was due later in the day.
• Fix a bug 1.2.5 introduced where upgrading would get stuck on decks without a media folder.
• If LaTeX is not installed, suggest the user install it.
• Patch from Yuvi Masory to prevent indentation in subsequent paragraphs in the default LaTeX header.

Changes in 1.2.5

• The selective study window now makes it even more explicit whether you're operating on new cards or reviews, and gives you the new option of operating on both at once.
• It's now possible to disable spacing of sibling cards due for review - see the deck properties docs for info.
• LaTeX is shown in the card list in the browser again.
• Type in the answer fixes, thanks to Bernhard.
• When pasting media, use the original name if it's available.
• When exporting decks for the shared decks area, the decks are no longer stripped of their caching information. This makes them slightly bigger, but means that no lengthy unpacking step is necessary when they are downloading, which can be particularly painful on slower computers and mobile devices.
• The card layout screen now has a splitter so you can change the ratio of editing area to preview area.
• When entering the card layout screen from the model properties, the correct preview is now displayed.
• Don't create an empty .media folder during upgrade.
• Fixed an error upgrading some old decks that had duplicates in the tag cache.
• Fixed a bug where you couldn't type into text input areas on your cards.

Changes in 1.2.4

• A new option in Settings>Preferences>Advanced to optimize some dialogs for smaller screens.
• Fixed an issue with failing cards when a mature bonus was set. The failed mature cards will now come at the start of the future day, in a random order.
• Fixed a bug where reviews could lead to a deck that AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid had trouble with.
• Fixed media migration, so people who were using the custom media folder plugin shouldn't need to manually move their media anymore.
• Some improvements to the automatic upgrading of card templates, so that users who've yet to upgrade, or are downloading shared decks, are more likely to get decks as they were designed to appear.
• Fixed issues using conditional templates on older Linux installs.
• Fixed a problem deleting unused media with foreign characters.
• Fixed an error when deleting a model via the add items screen.
• Type in the answer will correctly report missing leading or trailing text now.
• Prevent certain bad characters from being used when naming a deck.
• The card layout screen now plays audio once for each template you select, instead of only when it's opened.
• Fixed an error when DropBox support was selected and the DropBox path had foreign characters.
• Fixed the preserve whitespace option not getting unset.

Changes in 1.2.3

• Fixed a bug where including and excluding tags at the same time in selective study would not limit to the right cards.
• Fixed a bug where some decks were not synced if a deck with syncing disabled came before.
• Apply selective study settings in review early mode.
• Fixed issues with playing audio and opening the plugin folder on Windows systems where the login name had foreign characters.
• Fixed foreign character issues with the media DB check.
• Don't force max failed cards to 20 when 'show failed cards soon' selected.
• Fixed a freeze on OSX after editing colours in the card layout.
• Don't erroneously report hidden cards when only new cards left.
• When upgrading, if sync is disabled make sure we don't sync.
• Play audio in the card layout even if autoplay disabled, because otherwise there's no way to preview the audio.
• Work around a bug in the OSX toolkit that was making Windows get smaller each time they were reopened.
• When opening the card layout screen from within model properties, select the previously selected template.
• Don't die if a user downloads a plugin which was disabled on upgrade.
• Fix sharing a deck with foreign chars in media.
• When session limit reached, show tooltip.
• When undoing a review, show tooltip, since at the moment the previously undone card may not appear at the top of the queue. Fixing this properly will have to wait until 1.3.x.
• Disable the incremental reading plugin on upgrade, as it breaks Anki.
• Make sure cram menu item disabled on OSX when no deck open.

Changes in 1.2.2

• Try to autodetect the DropBox location, instead of assuming the default, which changes depending on DropBox version. Users with custom DropBox locations should be able to use the standard DropBox setting now.
• Fixed playing of audio with foreign characters on Windows.
• Fix 'check media db' for unicode filenames on HFS+ partitions on OSX.
• Stop the GUI toolkit from inserting linebreaks into RTL text.
• When renaming a field, account for conditional clauses too.
• Fix various warnings about unicode on some Linux installs.
• Possible fix for graphs function on Windows installs with foreign characters in their font registry.
• Remove some old DB indices that are no longer necessary.
• If AnkiWeb is too busy, display a normal dialog instead of a scary-looking error message.

Changes in 1.2.1

• Fixed a serious bug where upgraded decks were sent to AnkiWeb, regardless of which side was newer. More info will be posted on the forum shortly.
• Make sure font sizes are set to a sensible value if they were not previously set.
• Work around an invalid setting in decks caused by an old AnkiDroid bug.
• Fix noise profile generation on Windows.
• Fix a bug in updating the custom media prefix.

Changes in 1.2.0

Important Notes

Some parts of Anki have significantly changed. Please read the following section before upgrading so you know what to expect.

• Scheduling
  • Your decks will default to per-day scheduling. Instead of cards expiring throughout the day, all cards due in a given day will be shown at once. If you prefer the old behaviour you can divide the day up using the timeboxing features, or you can change the scheduler in the deck properties.
  • Inactive tags has been replaced with more flexible study options.
  • The way sibling cards of a fact are spaced has changed - please see the in depth section for more information.
  • Cramming has changed
• Syncing & subscriptions
  • There is no 'sync name' like there used to be - your decks will have the same name on AnkiWeb now as they have on your desktop. If you were using a sync name other than the deck name, instructions will pop up.
  • Deck subscriptions are only checked when opening the deck on AnkiWeb now. If you sync between multiple computers the changes will come in as part of each sync, but if you only sync with a single desktop computer, you will need to log in to AnkiWeb periodically and answer a card so that changes are sent from AnkiWeb to your local machine. A better solution is on the todo list.
• Card Layout
  • The way cards are styled has changed somewhat from the previous release. Anki attempts to import your old styling information, but some manual intervention may be required.
  • If you had changed the card font previously, go to Edit>Card Layout while reviewing a card, and change each {{Field}} reference to {{{Field}}} - that is, add an extra set of {}s. This tells Anki to use the imported card font instead of using the field styling. More information is available below, and in the card layout documentation.
• Media
  • Media support has been completely reworked. People who were using the custom media folder plugin will need to follow the much easier steps here to re-enable media. If you were using the plugin, once you have media fixed you should run Tools>Advanced>Check Media DB.
  • Media is no longer renamed, so it will be added to your media folder using its original name if a duplicate is not found. AnkiWeb currently doesn't support playing audio with foreign characters in it, so if your deck or your media files have foreign characters in them, you will need to rename them. The desktop and mobile clients should handle the foreign characters without problem.
  • The media URL is now stored in the deck instead of each model. This means media shared with the development version will not work on subscribed decks. A fix is expected after 1.2 is released.
• Plugins
  • Model tags have been removed. Instead, a model's name is treated as a list of space-separated tags. If you have plugins that require models to have specific tags, put those tags in the model name instead.
  • Japanese support users will need to install the latest version.
  • The Pinyin toolkit will continue to work, but will print a warning after certain operations until the Pinyin toolkit authors have a chance to upgrade it.
  • The learn mode plugin does not work with this version of Anki, and needs to be rewritten.
  • The iAnki plugin needs a few changes to work with the new release.
  • The incremental reading plugin should be disabled before upgrading, as it needs minor changes and in its current state it breaks Anki.
• Other
  • The way Anki renders card templates has changed considerably. Anki will attempt to upgrade your templates automatically, but you may need to edit them after the upgrade to remove superfluous <br> tags or apply styles. The new system is well documented here.

In Depth

Scheduling

• The way Anki manages cards has changed significantly. This should lead to smaller decks in the future, and better performance on slower hardware. Answered cards will still receive the same interval they would receive in 1.0.
• Because of the default per-day scheduling, your deck's 'hard' initial answer will be set to 1 day on the upgrade. If you don't want per-day scheduling, you can set this back to 8-12 hours in settings>deck properties>advanced after disabling per-day scheduling.
• Cramming now operates on the original deck, and adjusts the original intervals intelligently like review early does.
• Cramming now gives you the choice of sorting by card added date, random order, or oldest modified. The latter means it's possible to review the oldest seen cards first, and allows you to stop cramming and resume where you left off later.

Spacing

Anki includes a feature to ensure cards of the same fact are not shown next to each other. The way this is handled has changed.

• Spacing for new cards and reviews is now handled separately.
• The old spacing options are gone and have been replaced with two options in the deck properties.
• Spacing for review cards is now relative to each card's interval, and intervals less than a whole day are discarded, so at the default 10%, cards won't be spaced unless they have an interval over 10 days.
• Due to the way the queue works now, it's not possible to decrease due counts when cards are spaced to the next day or later. Instead, when all non-spaced cards have been shown, the congratulations screen will be shown. Operations which reset the queue such as edit will update the counts to their actual number.
• The delayed card count in the congrats screen now includes delayed reviews too.

Syncing

• Syncing now requires the local deck name and deck on the server to match. Previously you could have a deck called "something" called "something else" on the server, which was pretty confusing. It also meant that if you copied the deck outside of Anki, the new copy would still sync to the same location on the server, which could result in corruption. Anki will now detect when a deck has been moved or copied outside of the program, and automatically disable syncing until you manually enable it again.
• When you open a deck in 1.2 for the first time, Anki will check if the sync name matches the deck name. If they are the same, no action is required on your part. If they were different, syncing will be temporarily disabled and instructions given on what to do.
• Enabling syncing is much easier now - just File>Sync.
• Downloading a deck will save it to the same filename now. If you have an existing deck of that name, you'll be prompted if you want to overwrite it, rather than a deck with a string of numbers after the name being created like before.
• The warning about uploading a deck is only displayed if the deck already exists on the server now.
• In the case of a download, upload, or clobber resolution, some steps are skipped resulting in better performance.
• If an error occurs during syncing now, both the desktop and online versions will be rolled back to the state they were before the sync began. Previously it was possible for one side to be rolled back but the other side left saved.
• Syncing now analyzes the clock drift of your local system and compensates for it when determining what needs to be synced. If the drift is more than 5 minutes syncing will abort as before.
• When you File>Sync a deck that has media in it, a dialog box will pop up providing instructions on how to install DropBox or another media sync service, if one is not already set up.
• Media URLs have been moved from the model to the deck. You can now configure the URL in Settings>Deck Properties - but if you are using the built in DropBox support it will be set automatically for you. AnkiWeb has been updated to understand this new location, but AnkiMobile will not understand it until the next release. Also, deck subscriptions with media will stop copying media because of this; a fix for AnkiWeb will be added when 1.2 is released.
• Errors while syncing all decks will be displayed in a message box, and stop syncing from continuing.
• An error in syncing when Anki is being closed will now prevent Anki from being closed until confirmed.
• Improved some of the error messages.
• Syncing should be slightly faster than it was before due to improvements on the server end.
• Multiple syncs after a DB check won't result in multiple full uploads anymore.
• Added an option to prevent Anki from disabling sync when deck is moved (Settings>Deck Properties)
• Merged open and close so there are only two settings now: sync on program open+close, and sync on deck open+close.
• Fix for some Windows systems crashing when uploading large decks.

Card Templates

• The Model Properties, Fonts and Colours, and Preview windows have been merged into a new window called Card Layout which is accessible any time you're editing a fact or reviewing. A flip switch for the question and answer, and 'type in the answer' support are visible on the first screen, which should reduce some frequently asked questions.
• Editing the template now gives a live preview of how cards will appear.
• Some options to configure formatting on a card-wide basis have been removed. The old behaviour can be achieved by adding some HTML. See here for more info.
• There are no on/off checkboxes for the fonts and colours now.
• Text alignment now has one setting to control both the front and back at once. If you want to have one side with a different alignment for some reason, you can do this by adding HTML to the template instead.
• There is a new option to control whether whitespace should be treated verbatim or collapsed. It defaults to on, which means that if you type indented text into Anki, it will appear as you have entered it. Advanced users may like to disable this option if they are adding custom HTML to their fields.
• The card layout dialog is activated via F2 - the same shortcut as preview used to have.
• The cards displayed are different to what the preview cards dialog displayed. If you are editing an existing card, the preview is locked to the currently selected card. If you are adding a new fact, all cards that are enabled and can be generated are selectable. If you are editing a model from the deck properties, all cards are displayed.
• Instead of using

  %(Field)s

  you can now type

  {{Field}}

• Conditional rendering is now supported - for example, if you want to show some text only when a field is not empty, use {{# FieldName}}My text{{/ FieldName}}.
• To show text when a field is empty, use {{^ FieldName}}My text{{/ FieldName}}.
• Conditional field models allow you more control over which cards are generated. If you want a card to only be generated if FieldA and FieldB are both non-blank, simply wrap the entire template in two conditions for those fields.
• Mistyping a field name in a template will now give a more useful warning, instead of replacing the entire question or answer with "invalid format".

Media

• Anki no longer renames your media to a string of numbers and letters. That approach had its benefits, but it was unpopular and it made it difficult to copy newer versions of your media over older versions.
• The media database is now kept up to date when you add material, edit it, import new material, and so on. You shouldn't have to run a check media DB under normal circumstances now.
• The media database is now based off the front and back of cards, so your media can be contained partly in the card template and partly in the fields. For example, you may have a field with a value "foo.jpg", and the following on your question or answer template: <img src="{{{MyField}}}">
• Checksums are still stored in the deck, so Anki will be able to detect when you add the same data twice, even if the files have different names.
• Check media DB provides you with a log of media in your media folder that isn't used on cards, and media that is used by cards but not available in the media folder.
• There's a new option in Settings>Preferences to choose between media in the standard location, in DropBox, or in a folder of your choice.
• Decks remember where their media is, and will automatically migrate it to the new location if the setting is changed.
• If you choose DropBox, Anki will help you copy a link to your public folder, and automatically set up AnkiWeb/AnkiMobile to work with your media.
• Tools>Advanced>Download Missing Media now aborts if it can't find media, instead of attempting every file.
• A new option has been added to download remote links on cards, and convert them to local links.
• There is a new option to disable autoplay of audio/videos.

LaTeX

• LaTeX is now generated when cards are added or edited, instead of when they're first seen.
• The LaTeX preamble has been moved into the deck, and can be configured in the deck properties.
• The default preamble now includes amssymb and amsmath, which is the main reason people needed to edit the preamble.
• When hashing LaTeX the preamble is now included in the hash, so if you update the preamble, Anki will know to update the images as well. Thanks to Peter for the idea.
• Cache LaTeX and Uncache LaTeX menu items have been removed. To regenerate the LaTeX when it's missing, use Tools>Advanced>Check DB. To remove the cached images, just delete all the files starting with latex- in your media folder.
• When there's an error in your LaTeX code, the error is now inlined on the card instead of asking you to visit a folder.
• LaTeX images are added to the media DB automatically too, so they should work without having to run a media DB check.
• The ctrl+l shortcut to add LaTeX should no longer conflict with other shortcuts.

Importing/exporting

• You now have the option to update existing facts, instead of just importing new ones. This will allow you to merge data from multiple sources provided they have a field in common, and allows you to do bulk edits of your data outside of Anki in a text editor or spreadsheet program.
• The importing dialog has been tidied up. 'Tags to add' has been removed, as you can now add 'tags:tag1 tag2 ...' to the top of the text file instead.
• The option to tag duplicates has also been removed. Instead, there is a new option available in the card browser's edit menu to find duplicates in your deck. You can search within a single model's field, or within all fields with a given name.
• Fixed a bug where comments and empty lines in text files were not being stripped.
• Importing/exporting will copy only the media referenced in the cards, not unused media, so exporting a small number of tags from a big deck is much faster now.

Graphs

• Most of the graphs are now displayed as bar graphs instead of line graphs for periods of 6 months or less.
• Axis labels have been added. These are only in English for now, due to limitations in the graphing library.
• Fixed a bug in some of the graphs that meant the data was shifted by one day.
• The shades of blue in the reviews graph should be easier to distinguish now.
• Graphs should now work on older machines that don't support SSE instructions.

Other Improvements

• Searching in the browser now ignores HTML, so you can search for words even if they have been partially bolded/underlined/etc.
• If a DB check finds cards with broken facts, instead of throwing the cards away it will now reparent those cards into a new simple fact with 2 fields for the old question, answer & tags.
• There is a new option in Settings>Preferences>Advanced to prevent Anki from stripping HTML that is pasted or dropped into text fields.
• When sorting by due date, the actual due date of a new card will be shown, instead of (new card), if the deck is not sorted in random order.
• The colour selection buttons in the fact editor have been reworked: instead of the old 4 buttons, there is a single button which pops up a list of colours. From there you can choose a colour, add new ones, and delete the existing ones (no more editing config files!). Use F7 to pull up the list and move between colours, and F6 to choose the selected colour.
• More search options in the browser thanks to Marcus - search per field, for card models, etc. See the improved search thread for more info.
• Also from Marcus: add support for wrapping text in <c>...</c> in card templates. If the browser notices any of those tags, only the content inside the tags will be displayed. You can use this to show only relevant fields in the question/answer area.
• The deck browser now shows total due/new counts.
• In addition to File>Save As, File>Save now works on a freshly created deck.
• Prevent users from (accidentally) hiding parts of the UI by moving a splitter all the way to the edge.
• Creating a new deck now requires you to immediately give it a name. Some operations didn't work on in-memory decks, and they couldn't be autosaved.
• If you select the import option when no deck is open, Anki now explains why you need to create a new deck first.
• The shared decks/plugins list is compressed, which should make it come up faster for people with slower internet links. This is an interim step, as searching will probably be moved to the server in the future as the number of decks has grown considerably.
• Some of the sound code has been rewritten, which should fix problems playing audio after switching decks in a certain pattern
• Importing dialog scrolls when there are many fields

Changes in 1.2 release candidate 7

• Fix an error migrating media when decks were moved from one location and back again
• Add confirmation to localize media option
• Make sure selective study is applied to the due and new counts on the congrats screen

Changes in 1.2 release candidate 6

• Fix importing/exporting bug which crept into last release
• Restart mplayer if it quits

Changes in 1.2 release candidate 5

• Fix for race conditions in audio playing
• More fixes for syncing when the clock is set incorrectly

Changes in 1.2 release candidate 4

This release is only for Windows and Linux.

• Don't stop audio playing abruptly (Windows)
• Support older versions of sqlite (Linux, FreeBSD, etc)

Changes in 1.2 release candidate 3

• Due graphs now respect the current selective study settings
• Fixed copy/paste of text documents when user had turned off HTML stripping
• Importing dialog scrolls when there are many fields
• Work around toolkit bug where dialog was being hidden when choosing colours
• Recorded files now have a timestamp
• Fixed a bug when cramming with max failed cards set to 0
• Some of the sound card has been rewritten, which should fix problems playing audio after switching decks in a certain pattern
• Colour selection dialog defaults to saturated instead of black
• Added a function back to fix some plugins like kanji stats
• Clean up properly if the sync username/password was wrong
• Fixed cursor in wrong position when adding latex
• When per-day scheduling is off, reviews are spaced to the next session, not the next day.
• Translation patch from Piotr.

Changes in 1.2 release candidate 2

• When sibling cards of a fact are spaced, the due counts will no longer be decreased, because it's not possible to efficiently determine if the spaced cards were active or not. This means you may reach the congratulations screen with a non-zero due count now. Operations which reset the queue like edits or undoing will set the number to the real due count.
• The congratulations screen now makes it clearer how many cards have been spaced/delayed, and the counts include reviews instead of just showing spaced new cards like before.
• The congrats screen will tell you if cards are due that are suspended or inactive.
• Creating a new deck now requires you to immediately give it a name. Some operations didn't work on in-memory decks, and they couldn't be autosaved.
• If you select the import option when no deck is open, Anki now explains why you need to create a new deck first.
• The shared decks/plugins list is compressed, which should make it come up faster for people with slower internet links. This is an interim step, as searching will probably be moved to the server in the future as the number of decks has grown considerably.
• Fixed a bug when reporting the clock was set incorrectly.
• Fixed a bug with type in the answer where fields without a font or size set (because they were synced from an older version) would cause an error.

Changes in 1.2 release candidate 1

• New option to download remote audio/picture links on cards and convert them to local links.
• When accessing the card layout screen while editing, it now displays all used cards instead of locking you to a single card. There is now extra text telling you what the list of cards means, given it changes depending on if you enter card layout via adding, editing, or the models screen.
• The text comparing your typed answer to the correct answer now uses the field's font size settings.
• A new option in the preferences to disable autoplay of audio.
• Unsuspend fixed.
• When upgrading, Anki will attempt to copy media from the old DropBox location.
• Fixed a bunch of operations failing on OSX if the main window wasn't focused. Operations when the main window is minimized will now bring the window back in focus.
• Make sure the main window is focused on app start.
• Automatically disable the obsolete sync latex and learn mode plugins.
• Fix a problem with encoding on some LaTeX installations.

Changes in 1.1.13

• Fix for some Windows systems crashing when uploading large decks.
• Syncing now analyzes the clock drift of your local system and compensates for it when determining what needs to be synced. If the drift is more than 5 minutes syncing will abort as before.
• A full upload after a DB check skips the slow summary generation.
• Don't put http/ftp links in the media DB.
• Stop conditional templates from truncating whitespace.
• Add hidden option in config.db to disable keyboard layout preservation in fact editor.
• Fix for errors on some systems when deleting facts in the browser.
• Update dialog won't get hidden behind import dialog anymore.

Changes in 1.1.12

• Due cards are spaced to the start of the next day instead of the end of the current session.
• Any remaining failed cards at the end of the session will only been shown after checking nothing else has expired in the mean time.
• Learn more count now considers currently inactive cards.
• A media DB check now deletes unreferenced files from the media DB, even if you elect not to delete the files on disk.
• Recovered cards in a DB check will now preserve original tags if possible.
• Fix issues with detection of certain img links.
• Don't show an error if user cancels update when importing.
• Allow 'more' buttons in deck list to expand for foreign languages.

Changes in 1.1.11

• If a DB check finds cards with broken facts, instead of throwing the cards away it will now reparent those cards into a new simple fact with 2 fields for the old question & answer.
• Fix problems editing fields in the card layout dialog when opened from the add items dialog.
• Switching fields in the add cards dialog won't reset the state of the main window anymore.
• Users with foreign characters in their login name should be able to use plugins on Windows again now.
• A media DB check now recognizes images that have style information assigned to them.
• Anki will now tell the user they shouldn't run it with python3.
• Upgrades from 1.0.1 decks will now convert the old card styling to HTML in the template. Colours will work without modification, but fields will have to be changed from {{Field}} to {{{Field}}} if the user wants to ignore the field styling.

Changes in 1.1.10

• The queue filling routines have been optimized, and should be considerably faster when the deck is not already cached in RAM.
• New card spacing shouldn't push other cards of a fact to the end of the new card queue anymore.
• Foreign fonts are now selectable again on OSX.
• When you File>Sync a deck that has media in it, a dialog box will pop up providing instructions on how to install DropBox or another media sync service, if one is not already set up.
• LaTeX header and footer is now configurable in the deck properties.
• There is a new option in Settings>Preferences>Advanced to prevent Anki from stripping HTML that is pasted or dropped into text fields.
• Cards that take more than 60 seconds to answer now have their time recorded as 60 seconds instead of having their time discarded.
• Fixed a bug where a different card to preview would be chosen after opening the card layout from the main window and editing the template.
• Fixed the F2 shortcut when editing the current card.

Changes in 1.1.9

• Fixed an error where burying or reviewing early would cause a deck to temporarily disappear from the browser on close.
• Added a compat fix in for the pinyin toolkit and other plugins that use the old hooks.
• Fixed problems with LaTeX on Windows.
• Fixed warnings appearing when editing text in the card layout screen.
• Fixed errors when adding/editing a field then editing template.
• Layout is now accessible from the main screen with the same F2 shortcut as when editing.

No PPC build is available for this release, as I haven't heard of anyone using the 1.1.8 one. The next PPC build will probably be when 1.2 is ready.

Changes in 1.1.8

• Media handling has been completely reworked:
  • Anki no longer renames your media to a string of numbers and letters. That approach had its benefits, but it was unpopular and it made it difficult to copy newer versions of your media over older versions.
  • Media URLs have been moved from the model to the deck. You can now configure the URL in Settings>Deck Properties - but if you are using the built in DropBox support it will be set automatically for you. AnkiWeb has been updated to understand this new location, but AnkiMobile will not understand it until the next release. Also, deck subscriptions with media will stop copying media because of this; a fix for AnkiWeb will be added when 1.2 is released.
  • The media database is now kept up to date when you add material, edit it, import new material, and so on. You shouldn't have to run a check media DB under normal circumstances now.
  • The media database is now based off the front and back of cards, so your media can be contained partly in the card template and partly in the fields. For example, you may have a field with a value "foo.jpg", and the following on your question or answer template: <img src="{{{MyField}}}">
  • Checksums are still stored in the deck, so Anki will be able to detect when you add the same data twice, even if the files have different names.
  • Check media DB provides you with a log of media in your media folder that isn't used on cards, and media that is used by cards but not available in the media folder.
• LaTeX handling has also changed:
  • LaTeX is now generated when cards are added or edited, instead of when they're first seen.
  • The LaTeX preamble has been moved into the deck. The next release will include an option in the tools menu to edit the preamble so extra plugins won't be required anymore.
  • The default preamble now includes amssymb and amsmath, which is the main reason people needed to edit the preamble.
  • When hashing LaTeX the preamble is now included in the hash, so if you update the preamble, Anki will know to update the images as well. Thanks to Peter for the idea.
  • Cache LaTeX and Uncache LaTeX menu items have been removed. To regenerate the LaTeX when it's missing, use Tools>Advanced>Check DB. To remove the cached images, just delete all the files starting with LaTeX in your media folder.
  • When there's an error in your LaTeX code, the error is now inlined on the card instead of asking you to visit a folder.
  • LaTeX images are added to the media DB automatically too, so they should work without having to run a media DB check.
  • The ctrl+l shortcut to add LaTeX should no longer conflict with other shortcuts.
• I've made an OSX build for PPC/10.3-10.4 users. 1.2 should support those platforms, but support will probably be dropped after that, or at least become less frequent.
• The OSX build for newer computers now bundles the mp3 encoder, so you don't have to install it separately.
• OSX on 10.5 should be working again.

Changes in 1.1.7

• Media improvements:
  • There's a new option in Settings>Preferences to choose between media in the standard location, in DropBox, or in a folder of your choice.
  • Decks remember where their media is, and will automatically migrate it to the new location if the setting is changed.
  • If you choose DropBox, Anki will help you copy a link to your public folder, and automatically set up AnkiWeb/AnkiMobile to work with your media.
  • If you had the custom media folder plugin installed, it will be automatically disabled with a message. You will need to move your media from Dropbox/deckname.media to Dropbox/Anki/deckname.media.
  • Tools>Advanced>Download Missing Media now aborts if it can't find media, instead of attempting every file.
• If you have new cards set to display in non-random order, the ordering is reset on upgrade to ensure the cards are displayed in the order you added them. This will wipe any spacing the news cards had.
• To make sure older clients (such as AnkiMobile, which has not been upgraded yet) don't misbehave, "mature card bonus" can be set to 600 which means a bonus of 0. If you use older clients you should go to Settings>Deck Properties>Advanced and make sure the bonus is set to 600 for now.
• When doing an import update, tags are now correctly updated too.
• More speedups to the sync process.
• Added a speedup to some compatibility code.
• Downloading personal decks that haven't been upgraded won't put up spurious error messages now.
• Tags combobox in the browser is bigger now.
• Failures during a sync won't cause duplicate decks to appear in deck list.
• When sorting by due date, the actual due date of a new card will be shown, instead of (new card), if the deck is not sorted in random order.

Changes in 1.1.6

• Syncing has been improved:
  • If an error occurs during syncing now, both the desktop and online versions will be rolled back to the state they were before the sync began. Previously it was possible for one side to be rolled back but the other side left saved.
  • Errors while syncing all decks will be displayed in a message box, and stop syncing from continuing.
  • An error in syncing when Anki is being closed will now prevent Anki from being closed until confirmed.
  • Improved some of the error messages.
  • Syncing should be slightly faster than it was before due to improvements on the server end.
  • Multiple syncs after a DB check won't result in multiple full uploads anymore.
  • Added an option to prevent Anki from disabling sync when deck is moved (Settings>Deck Properties)
  • Merged open and close so there are only two settings now: sync on program open+close, and sync on deck open+close.
• Card layout is now accessible from the toolbar as well
• The colour selection buttons have been reworked: instead of the old 4 buttons, there is a single button which pops up a list of colours. From there you can choose a colour, add new ones, and delete the existing ones (no more editing config files!). Use F7 to pull up the list and move between colours, and F6 to choose the selected colour.
• Graphs should be working again on OSX 10.5.
• Possible fix for isolated startup issues on OSX.
• Fixed an issue where some people had to run Anki as an administrator the first time on Windows 7.
• Opening the deck browser with another copy of Anki open in the background no longer forgets temporarily inaccessible decks.
• Switching back and forth between 1.0.1 and the 1.1.x branch will no longer cause plugin-related crashes.
• Selective study screens now identify if they're operating on new cards or reviews.
• Added a Ukrainian translation thanks to Vitalii Kuchmii.
• A fix for "fieldname":value searches thanks to Marcus Rubeus.
• The deck browser now shows total due/new counts.
• In addition to File>Save As, File>Save now works on a freshly created deck.
• Fixed remaining issues with DB library on Ubuntu.
• Max failed cards should be reset to 0 now if you have 'show failed cards last' on.
• Toggling suspend or mark will make sure to save the currently edited text.

Changes in 1.1.5

• Spaced card handling has been reworked:
  • The old settings in the model properties window have been replaced by a new setting in the deck properties window.
  • The new setting controls how Anki should space other new cards of a fact when you answer one card of that fact. The default is 1 minute. Earlier 1.1.x versions waited until the queue was refreshed before showing the spaced cards; this version behaves more like previous Anki releases and will show spaced cards shortly after they expire.
  • In previous versions the card counts would decrease by more than one when you answered a card and other cards were spaced. This was confusing, and the counts ended up being increased again when the spaced cards were ready again. Now the due counts are not decreased if the spacing is less than a day.
  • Spacing for review cards has changed considerably. Unlike new cards where there is no risk of forgetting, cards due for review will be forgotten if they are delayed too much. The previous approach took a percentage of the least known card's interval, and added it to all sibling cards' due times. This process was repeated every time you answered a card, so if you continually failed a card, or had many card models, or had a backlog of cards, it was possible for other cards of that fact that were due to be starved of attention, and forgotten. Because of this, relative spacing has been removed in 1.1.5. If two cards of a fact are due in one day, the other card is sent to the back of the queue, to be shown after all other due cards for that day. If you're concerned about siblings being shown too close together, you can increase the new card spacing so that the siblings are introduced further apart, and much less likely to become due on the same day.
• Card Layout is now accessible from the model properties dialog as well. All templates are displayed in that case.
• Audio plays on entry to the card layout screen, but will not play on option/text changes.
• Fixed fonts or options being copied from field to field when you selected a new field.
• Allow the study options screen to expand more
• Fixed error when clicking on links in card layout
• Prevent users from (accidentally) hiding parts of the UI by moving a splitter all the way to the edge.
• Newly created templates default to using the first and second field of a fact, and thus can be generated by default.
• More tweaks to the deck properties layout.
• Worked around the database library reporting errors on some Linux installs
• Fixed erroneous display of 'you have moved the deck' messages after a full sync download.
• The Mac build should be working on OSX 10.5 now, but graphs are not fixed yet. If you encounter any other problems, please let me know.
• Fixed stuck interface when a sync error occurs, or if you cancel a deck overwrite.

Changes in 1.1.4

• The Model Properties, Fonts and Colours, and Preview windows have been merged into a new window called Card Layout which is accessible any time you're editing a fact. A flip switch for the question and answer, and 'type in the answer' support are visible on the first screen, which should reduce some frequently asked questions.
• The area to edit card templates is a bit larger now, and updates a preview in real time, which should help users to visualize what the templates do more easily.
• Some redundant options have been in the interests of a cleaner interface.
  • Since every field has its own font setting already, card-wide font settings have been removed.
  • There are no on/off checkboxes for the fonts and colours now.
  • Text alignment now has one setting to control both the front and back at once. If you want to have one side with a different alignment for some reason, you can do this by adding HTML to the template instead.
  • Fields now have a single font family for both reviewing and editing, since a survey of online decks revealed having two different fonts was very rare. You can still achieve the same behaviour as before by wrapping the field in a font tag (see below).
• There is a new syntax for rendering a field without its configured display properties: {{{field}}} instead of {{field}}. So if you want a custom font when reviewing, you could do something like the following:

  <span style="font-family: myfont;">{{{fieldname}}}</span>
  

  The difference between this syntax and prepending "text:" is that text: strips all HTML from the field - including any bolding, colours, etc.
• There is a new option to control whether whitespace should be treated verbatim or collapsed. It defaults to on, which means that if you type indented text into Anki, it will appear as you have entered it. Advanced users may like to disable this option if they are adding custom HTML to their fields.
• The card layout dialog is activated via F2 - the same shortcut as preview used to have.
• The cards displayed are different to what the preview cards dialog displayed. If you are editing an existing card, the preview is locked to the currently selected card. If you are adding a new fact, all cards that are enabled and can be generated are selectable.
• An error or crash happening when focus left the tags area has been fixed.
• The Mac version now supports recording again.

Changes in 1.1.3

• Fix crashes when adding/editing cards
• Fix crashes on Windows when certain plugins were installed
• Mark a few strings as translatable

Changes in 1.1.2

• New template handling:
  • Instead of using

    %(Field)s

    you can now type

    {{Field}}

    in Settings>Deck Properties>Edit>Card Templates.
  • The old formatting is still used behind the scenes so compatibility with older clients isn't broken.
  • Conditional rendering is now supported - for example, if you want to show some text only when a field is not empty, use {{# FieldName}}My text{{/ FieldName}}.
  • To show text when a field is empty, use {{^ FieldName}}My text{{/ FieldName}}.
  • Conditional field models allow you more control over which cards are generated. If you want a card to only be generated if FieldA and FieldB are both non-blank, simply wrap the entire template in two conditions for those fields.
  • Mistyping a field name in a template will now give a more useful warning, instead of replacing the entire question or answer with "invalid format".
• Fixed loading of decks when decks contain foreign characters in their name
• Fixed crash on load on Windows when foreign characters in path
• Mac packages fixed - in the last release they didn't contain the latest code.
• Fixed issue where the pinyin toolkit would freeze when editing pinyin.
• Fixed errors sometimes popping up when adding or editing cards on Windows
• Update due counts when exiting review early to the deck browser
• Fixed typo in download decks screen
• Tag completion with keyboard should work properly now

Changes in 1.1.1

• If your deck has foreign characters in its name or its path, please wait for the next release, as it won't work with this release.
• Users of the Japanese Support plugin will need to download the latest version. If you experience problems with other plugins, please report the issue to the plugin author.
• A number of changes to importing:
  • You now have the option to update existing facts, instead of just importing new ones. This will allow you to merge data from multiple sources provided they have a field in common, and allows you to do bulk edits of your data outside of Anki in a text editor or spreadsheet program.
  • The importing dialog has been tidied up. 'Tags to add' has been removed, as you can now add 'tags:tag1 tag2 ...' to the top of the text file instead.
  • The option to tag duplicates has also been removed. Instead, there is a new option available in the card browser's edit menu to find duplicates in your deck. You can search within a single model's field, or within all fields with a given name.
  • Fixed a bug where comments and empty lines in text files were not being stripped.
• Graphs have also been updated:
  • Most of the graphs are now displayed as bar graphs instead of line graphs for periods of 6 months or less.
  • Axis labels have been added. These are only in English for now, due to limitations in the graphing library.
  • Fixed a bug in some of the graphs that meant the data was shifted by one day.
  • The shades of blue in the reviews graph should be easier to distinguish now.
• And some changes to syncing:
  • Syncing now requires the local deck name and deck on the server to match. Previously you could have a deck called "something" called "something else" on the server, which was pretty confusing. It also meant that if you copied the deck outside of Anki, the new copy would still sync to the same location on the server.
  • When you open a deck in 1.1.1 for the first time, Anki will check if the sync name matches the deck name. If they are the same, no action is required on your part. If they were different, syncing will be temporarily disabled and instructions given on what to do.
  • Anki will now detect when a deck has been moved or copied outside of the program, and automatically disable syncing until you manually enable it again.
  • Enabling syncing is much easier now - just File>Sync.
  • Downloading a deck will save it to the same filename now. If you have an existing deck of that name, you'll be prompted if you want to overwrite it, rather than a deck with a string of numbers after the name being created like before.
  • The warning about uploading a deck is only displayed if the deck already exists on the server now.
  • In the case of a download or clobber resolution, some steps are skipped resulting in better performance.
• And updates to the Windows distribution:
  • People who don't have recent standard libraries installed (such as when their machine is locked down at work) should now be able to run the program without issues now.
  • Some of the audio tools have been updated, which should fix issues with truncated audio some people were experiencing.
  • Recording, which was broken in 1.1.0, has been fixed.
  • The distribution is considerably more compact now - the installed size is about 1/3rd of what it was before.
  • Because many files are stored in different locations now, you should uninstall the old copy of Anki first to remove the older copies. This is only necessary once.
• Cramming from the browser fixed
• Deck finished message displays due cards tomorrow again
• Fixed errors when editing a card then answering it
• Fixed card generation when tags or card template names on the card
• Rescheduled cards should stay rescheduled when used on older clients
• Fix for using a deck on broken NTFS implementations
• Don't allow tags to start with a hyphen

Changes in 1.1.0

This is the the start of a new development branch (1.1.x). It should be fairly stable, but if you aren't interested in the new features, and don't want to report bugs if you encounter them, you're better of staying with 1.0.1 for now.

There have been many changes since 1.0.1. Some of them may cause surprises, so please look below:

• Mac users: Support for PPC machines and OSX less than 10.5 has been dropped. This is necessary because the older versions of the GUI toolkit which support such machines have numerous bugs and are lacking some important features. You will need an Intel Mac with OSX10.5+ to use this release.
• If you're using the Japanese Support plugin, you need to upgrade to the latest version.
• Some plugins may not work with this release. If they don't, please contact the plugin author and ask them to support the new version.
• Cards are gathered on a per-day basis by default now - the cutoff being the same 'new day stats at' setting that controls when your stats roll over. If you prefer cards to expire throughout the day, you can change this setting in the advanced settings, but note that it will perform a little differently to before. Instead of cards being added to the queue as soon as they expire, they will be added to the queue after you've finished all the other cards, or you reopen the deck. This prevents due counts creeping up while you're reviewing, ensures that when you undo a card it appears immediately again, and performs better than before.
• Because of the default per-day scheduling, your deck's 'hard' initial answer will be set to 1 day on the upgrade. If you don't want per-day scheduling, you can set this back to 8-12 hours in settings>deck properties>advanced after disabling per-day scheduling.
• Spaced card handling has changed. If your spacing is set to 0 then other cards of a fact will be shown like before. However, if you have a non-zero spacing (the default is 1 minute), spaced cards are not gathered until the next queue refill, which can be up to 200 cards. Depending on complexity, the old behaviour may be restored in a later release.
• The inactive tags menu has gone away, replaced by more flexible settings in the study options. You can now set 'show only these tags', and 'exclude these tags', and the settings are different for new cards & review cards, so you can control what new cards are introduced without affecting reviews.
• Cram behaves quite differently now. Answers while you are cramming will alter the underlying deck using the same algorithm as 'review early'. This means cards that were almost due will end up being scheduled almost as long as they would have if you'd waited a little longer, and cards that were only just answered recently receive about the same interval they had last time. It also means no long wait for big decks to be copied, and the ability to edit mistakes you encounter while cramming. If you wish to cram without modifying your original deck for some reason, you can accomplish this by exporting your deck without scheduling information.
• The way Anki gathers cards for review has been significantly changed. This will allow for smaller, faster decks in the future. Currently the decks remain only trivially changed, so that you can easily upgrade/downgrade to 1.0 and keep using the other clients.
• The study options screen has been reworked to be easier to understand
• Cramming now gives you the choice of sorting by card added date, random order, or oldest modified. The latter means it's possible to review the oldest seen cards first, and allows you to stop cramming and resume where you left off later.
• Importing/exporting will copy only the media referenced in the cards, not unused media, so exporting a small number of tags from a big deck is much faster now.
• Cramming ignores normal card spacing, so that you get to see all cards of a fact.
• A regular search now ignores HTML, so you can search for words even if they have been partially bolded/underlined/etc.
• Fixed SuperMemo importing.
• Removed 'model tags' from the GUI. Model names are now treated the same way as card templates are - their name is also their tag, which should remove some confusion. For now the code will still keep model tags in the background so existing plugins don't break, but in the future plugins should check the name instead. If you're using a plugin which looks for specific tags (for example, the Japanese support plugin expects models to be tagged 'Japanese'), then you'll need to make sure the model name includes the tag.
• Some improvements from Marcus:
  • More search options in the browser - search per field, for card models, etc. See the improved search thread for more info.
  • Add support for wrapping text in <c>...</c> in card templates. If the browser notices any of those tags, only the content inside the tags will be displayed. You can use this to show only relevant fields in the question/answer area.
  • remove html entities and script tags when stripping HTML
• Graphs should now work on older machines that don't support SSE instructions.
• Allow the question/answer format in the model properties to expand.
• Fixed some problems with importing csv files with quotes.
• Fixed trying to import into an unsaved deck on Windows.
• Do a sanity check after a sync to make sure no facts are missing.
• Fixed card generation for cards that use text:
• Fixed more issues with card template ordering.
• Don't hide vertical scroll bars when editing facts.
• Other miscellaneous fixes

Changes in 1.0.1

• Faster tag operations (marking/etc) when you have a lot of tags
• Fix sync conflict message appearing when deck hasn't changed
• Fix spellcheck regression (thanks to Bernhard)
• Fix close window shortcut in the browser on OSX
• Fix 'select facts' bug in the browser
• Fix 'redo' being displayed when redoing edits not possible
• Fix error in media DB check when case doesn't match

Changes in 1.0

After more than 4 years in development, Anki has finally reached 1.0. This release contains mainly bugfixes, but there are some new features too. Toolkit issues on Windows and OSX were a major headache, but they should be hopefully resolved now: the Windows version should run reliably on more machines, and graphs on both OSX and Windows should work in all cases now.

Known issues:

• Spelling correction was made more liberal, but this has resulted in surprising behaviour. The old behaviour will be back in the next release.
• Users of the Pinyin toolkit may experience delays when adding/editing cards. Please contact the plugin authors and ask them for a fix.
• If the installer gets stuck on Windows 7, try running it as an administrator (right click).

Changes:

• You can now sync all decks at once. When you start 1.0, your settings will be changed to sync all decks at once when the program is opened or closed, instead of syncing as a deck is opened or closed. For now, if you prefer the old behaviour you can go to Settings>Preferences>Network to adjust the settings. Sync on deck open/close may go away in a future release.
• Syncing will now detect conflicts. In the past if you forgot to sync, and modified two sides at once, it could lead to incorrect card counts and in some cases lost data. Now Anki will detect such a situation, and ask you which side you would like to keep. You may get a conflict message the first time you sync a deck after upgrading. After choosing a version to keep, modifying the deck, and syncing again, this should no longer happen.
• Initial uploads, and uploads after a database check will now ask for confirmation before proceeding. In the past people have accidentally clobbered their online data while attempting to download their deck. This warning should hopefully prevent that from happening in the future.
• The 'again' and default button next times are now coloured. This lets you quickly see which button would be chosen if you press space. Users on the Mac and Linux could already see this, but in recent versions of Windows, the default button is not highlighted. If you don't like the colours, you can turn them off in Settings>Preferences>Advanced.
• Anki now plays nicely with SQLAlchemy 0.6, which bleeding edge Linux distros are using
• The sync shortcut has changed, so that it doesn't conflict with 'redo' in text fields
• The interface will no longer lock if you're editing a fact and a duplicate entry is found
• Fix card ordering when adding/importing. Multiple card models should now be displayed in the correct order again. If you added material using the previous version, there is a shared plugin available to fix the due dates on previous cards.
• The deck is no longer marked modified when you open the add cards dialog
• The OSX DMG has been made prettier thanks to Matthew Duggan
• 'Type in answer' improvements thanks to Bernhard Ibertsberger
• Ability to sort by 'first review', thanks to Shawn Moore
• Fix for Qt 4.6 HTML issues on some linux distros, thanks to Chris Burel
• Updated translations and new translations, thanks to all the translators
• Fix close window shortcut on OSX for some windows
• Fix an issue where max failed cards would be set to 2 when visiting the deck properties
• Fix right click reload while reviewing
• When sorting by due date in the browser, consider card spacing
• Bigger app icon on Windows
• Strip trailing whitespace before adding facts
• Catch errors when adding media
• Delete media folder when deck is deleted
• Open local links on cards in an external browser
• Fix LaTeX generation on win32 when there are spaces in path
• Fix Python2.6 warnings
• Better soundcard autodetection when recording
• Fix Settings>Fonts and Colours on qt4.4 on Linux
• Fix order of buttons in model properties dialog
• Warn the user they're cramming if they try to edit the current card
• Clear playing audio when previewing a new card
• Support flac, swf and flv on cards
• And a bunch of other small fixes

Changes in 0.9.9.8.6

Over 200 changes have been logged since the last release. Most of the changes were bugfixes, but there have been some functionality changes too:

• The labels on the answer buttons are different for new/failed cards. Instead of again/hard/good/easy, you'll see again/good/easy/very easy. While the labels have been changed to reflect common usage, the behaviour of the buttons is the same.
• The default button for a new card is now '2' instead of '3'. This makes the handling of new and failed cards more consistent. If you prefer the old behaviour, you can revert to it using a plugin that has been uploaded to the shared plugins area.
• A quick DB check is executed when decks are loaded now. This makes loading decks slower than before, but ensures errors are caught immediately. The 'quick DB check' tool has been removed as it's no longer necessary.
• Importing has been made more intelligent, and should be more stable now.
• Anki will now put downloaded decks in an "Anki" subdirectory of your documents folder, instead of in the documents folder directly. On Linux, they'll go in ~/.anki/decks/.
• There are now multiple builds for Windows and OSX, made with different versions of the GUI toolkit. This was done because each version of the GUI toolkit fixes some issues but introduces others.
• Progress windows have been made to show after a delay of a few seconds, so for short-lived operations, you won't see a dialog pop up only to disappear again. This also fixes an issue with 'ghost' windows on Compiz/Linux.
• The add tags/delete tags windows now let you use return to close them.
• Reverse sort order is now available as a button next to the sort list in the browser.
• Cloze and preview have been moved up to the top row of buttons, as they are commonly used.
• Many translations have been updated, thanks to the kind work of everyone who contributed to the translation page.
• The deck browser preserves the modification time on decks when it reads them now, so your backup software won't keep trying to update decks you haven't explicitly opened.
• Some crashing bugs have been fixed on Linux. If you are using PyQt4.6 however, you may find things are quite broken. Upgrading to PyQt4.7 is strongly recommended, and you won't be able to use the graphs feature until you do.
• Various actions in the browser now leave the selection alone.
• Patch from Szabolcs Horvat to remember the input method when switching between fields when adding/editing cards. This saves you having to switch languages manually each time. If you want to use this with languages like Japanese, you will need to make sure you switch between Japanese and a US keyboard, rather than just hiragana and direct-input.
• The deck browser will now remember more than 20 decks, for those of you with a lot of decks.
• Some of the icons in the browser have been tweaked, thanks to the work of Josh.
