What's new in japReader 1.9.5
May 4, 2024
- Fixed deepl.com broken DOM parsing (there is now a querySelector input in options, so every user can change the string that is used to search for input and output text boxes on deepl.com, so it could be edited by users if it ever changes in the future)

New in japReader 1.9.4 Pre-release 1 (Sep 30, 2023)

New in japReader 2.0.0 Beta 1 (Jul 16, 2023)
- Rewritten most of the japReader's code in React+TypeScript

- Added custom font and background colors
- Moved most settings to individual windows, so that restarting the app is not necessary
New in japReader 1.9.1 (Jun 14, 2023)
- Made clipboard reading more robust (clipboard reads rarely randomly return corrupt strings, which resulted in lost copy operations) by making 3 reads at a time and comparing results instead of just 1 read.
- Improved support for digits, which sometimes bugged out before.
- Split furigana options for each status (new, seen, known, ignored), so that it can fit different needs better.

New in japReader 1.7.1 (May 18, 2023)
