This update includes a collection of much-requested new features as well as a handful of optimizations. All of the new features can be accessed via the new "Advanced Fields" section of the word form.

Features

  • Etymology / Root Words (Feature Request #36) and Related Words (Feature Request #37)
    • You can now specify a comma-separated list of root or related words, and Lexiconga will automatically link the words to their existing entries.
    • These words appear below the Details of the word's entry in the word list.
  • Principal Parts(Feature Request #35)
    • Entering the principal parts of a word as a comma-separated list will display them in parentheses next to the main word.
    • Principal parts are included in searches and will highlight when matched.
  • Templates for Details Fields (Feature Request #19)
    • Create as many different templates as you want to populate the Details field for words.
    • Templates are only saved to your local browser and are never uploaded even if you have an account.
    • This was requested a long time ago and is finally getting its debut!

Optimizations

  • Edited words now update in-place unless it triggers a sort action.
    • This means that if you edit a word, Lexiconga will not re-render the entire word list unless it needs to, which should help large dictionaries a bit.
  • Settings and Dictionary Settings modals now scroll to the top by default when re-opening.
  • Import now accepts the 3 new Etymology, Related, and Principal Parts fields, and Export provides them.
    • Having Etymology available for import should allow full imports from ConWorkshop to be possible.

Thank you!

As usual, if you run into any problems with Lexiconga, please submit an issue so I can work on fixing it as soon as possible!
