Hopefully this will be the last release for a while:
http://www.pleco.com/ppcdownload.html (updated to link to the now-official 1.0)
Official release should be out on Tuesday, assuming no major new bugs crop up over the weekend.
No major interface changes in this version, but fixes for every bug that we know of and have been able to duplicate. Noticeable minor changes: the Import/Export screens now have progress counters (finally!), the keyboard now comes up automatically in List Properties and Edit Entry, and the demo font actually looks halfway decent now.
One other change which you'll only notice if you're using the demo version (and only once we release the official 1.0 demo with the necessary data files) is that handwriting recognition is now available in the demo. You can't use it to look up characters in the dictionary, but you can write in a character and see what matches the recognizer comes up with. (just like in Oxford E&C)
Coming in the official release: a revamped installer, which now lets you select the exact set of data files you want to install (and lets you remove them separately in Remove Programs).
Important note for Windows Mobile 5 users: due to yet another Silly Microsoft Thing, we've had to change the Device ID algorithm for Windows Mobile 5 devices in order to ensure that all WM5 devices can actually use our software. The timer in My Orders has been reset for all Pocket PC version purchasers and upgraders, so you can log on to My Orders to immediately receive a new keyfile for your updated Device ID.
Another WM5 note: due to a bug in the system used to sign .CAB files, we've been unable to develop a signed version of PlecoDict - our data files are too big for the signing server. So you'll have to click through a bunch of security warnings when installing PlecoDict. Hopefully they'll fix this bug eventually; in the meantime, you'll be able to avoid most of the warnings by using the new "Manual Install" option (where you copy the data files over to your Pocket PC directly).
