- Bugfix in quix - awaken code would awaken words where all translations were the same, but quiz would never show them, this meant the words were stuck forever at a score of zero. Unfortunately, as word scores are in your StudyUsr.Dat, this will not fix existing users. Please manually increase your MinZeroWords or manually delete these words from your studylist to work around this issue.
- Bugfix in quiz with jpn-r, text to speech wasnt working correctly due to case sensitivity and old % var code
- Bugfix in WordFlash - Wordflash was showing words with no or partial translations, it has been changed to require at least a 1st and either a 2nd or 3rd line to be filled (What these show is dependant on the studylanguage)
- New - International calculator - it has two displays, allows calculation in one currency, with equivalent foreign currency value shown in a second display - a set of currency conversions are included and you can set your own rates.
- New - International Clock / Time chart - Shows the time multiple timezones As well as the current time, the following 24 hours are shown, with AM/PM & Working hours & weekends coloured, this is to allow for easy planning of an event such as meetings or server mantinance over multiple timezones
