We've now posted a preview of PlecoDict 1.0.1 for Pocket PC to go along with yesterday's preview of 1.0.3 on Palm (though we're debating whether or not to call the new Pocket PC version 1.0.3 as well to make things easier on everyone). It's available for download here:
http://www.pleco.com/pcupdate103.zip (updated to point to the finished release, now numbered 1.0.3)
Just install the updated application inside of this file to your Pocket PC in place of the old one - the version number in the About box will be listed as 1.0.1p.
To be honest, we haven't found a whole lot of bugs in the 1.0 release on Pocket PC - most of the problems people have reported have turned out to be installation-related issues, and unfortunately there's not much we can do about those until the big installation overhaul we're working on for Pleco 2.0 (though we are working on a more detailed walkthrough of the "manual install" procedure for the revised instruction manual, which we'll now be recommending to anyone installing on a WM5 system with < 64 MB of built-in storage memory). This release does fix a couple of rare crashing bugs, though, and also addresses a few issues with the demo version (keyfiles will now be deleted even if they're read-only, and the demo version will choose the PlecoDemo font over fonts installed by CE-Star or Monster Chinese the upshot of which is that English letters should now display correctly in the Input Field in the demo version), so it's worth upgrading.
Regrettably, we've been unable to fix the issue with ActiveSync not being able to back up PlecoDict's flashcard / User DB files when it's set to synchronize the My Documents folder - ActiveSync seems unwilling to back up any file that another application is using, so about all we can do about this is advise you to exit PlecoDict completely (using the Quit command in the Dict menu) before you ActiveSync if you want the My Documents backup to include the PlecoDict files.
Anyway, we're still hunting down one or two more issues but the finished 1.0.1 (or 1.0.3) should hopefully be available towards the end of next week along with (at long last!) our revamped website.
