iKeyEx 0.2b, CrashReporter 0.2e, class-dump-z 0.2a released

Change log for iKeyEx 0.2b:

• iKeyEx now uses postinst triggers to register layouts and input managers (r594). Keyboard makers may leave out the [pre|post][inst|rm] scripts now because the list will be updated as your keyboard is installed or removed. (You still need a postinst script if you want to support automatic purging.) As a side effect, all input modes explicitly deleted by the user (via Mix and Match) will be added back in and activated. If you really don't want that layout, uninstall it from Cydia.


• Fixed issue 470: iKeyEx left/right arrows don't work in multi-line text input controls (r593).


• No longer crashes for a layout with different landscape and portrait layout classes (r588). Thanks erik_joya for reporting!

Change log for CrashReporter 0.2e:

• Fixed issue 481: CrashReport doesn't recognize FAT binaries. (r592)

Change log for class-dump-z 0.2a (except Windows, I need to reinstall VS2008 first):

• Support for "hints file" (r589). See this wiki page for detail. Thanks rpetrich for suggestion!

iKeyEx and 5-Row QWERTY 0.2a will be on Cydia soon.

The minor updates for iKeyEx (r579) and 5-Row QWERTY (r580) are released and will be on the Big Boss repo within 2 days. They can be downloaded from here as usual.

These updates are to address some defects reported after 0.2 is put on the repo, for iKeyEx:

• Keyboards for Hebrew, Arabic and other right-to-left languages will default to use right-to-left input direction. (r578. Thanks DB42/OpenHebrew for reporting!)


• Eliminated the built-in keyboard selection list in Settings, which became useless when iKeyEx is installed (it cannot be respected because the keyboard list is not safemode-safe otherwise). (r579)

For 5-Row QWERTY:

• The , and . keys are swapped back to their expected position. (Thanks Optimo for noticing!)


• Reset the special characters won't duplicate the double quote (") anymore. (r580)


• Changing the layout flushes the cache correctly now. (issue 471)

iKeyEx 0.2~rc1, Cangjie 0.2-3, CrashReporter 0.2d released

O hai, long time no post!

This is because I have posted many material which were to be put here to the "iPhone Development Wiki" created by Dustin Howett. (And also because of "schoolworks and tests" :p) This blog will remain for release notes only.

Back to the main topic, there are 3 major releases today: iKeyEx 0.2~rc1:

• Different layouts in portrait and landscape orientation is supported again (r509, thanks DB42 for noticing)
• CrashReporter support (r548)
• Hooks only UIKit (r548).
• Config file is now placed in ~/Library/Preferences/hk.kennytm.iKeyEx3.plist (r559).
• Keyboard settings won't be lost due to Safe mode anymore.
• .cin IME: Stop radical composition on failure by default.
• .cin IME: Corrected sorting.
• Other minor stuff.

Cangjie 0.2-3:

• The shift key will be disabled in the 倉頡QWERTY鍵盤. If you want to enter English letters in this keyboard layout, long press on a key (e.g. 水 -> [水][E]).

CrashReporter 0.2d:

• Made UIProgressHUD truly model to avoid crash due to accidental file deletion during symbolication.
• Smarter suspect identification.
• Symbolication in command line with the "-s" flag.
• Complains if you did not install syslogd :)
