pyontan 0.1.0 Changelog

Hello! This my first changelog/update post and even though the program is in version 0.3.0 I want to do a release changelog/updates so you can know what came with each version, version 0.1.0 has the least because it was all done pre-logging changelog as this program actually started out as a personal project initially! However a lot of what there is post 0.1.0 was come into scope because of the many changes and redirections I had for the plan of pyontan, it also used to be named pyontan2 before I renamed everything. So you'll see "pyontan2" and that is what this means.

This will also set a precedent for the style of how these changelogs will look.

Additions:

  • Built the pyontan2 application, bare dashboard and web extension
  • Added Google Cloud Translation support alongside DeepL
  • Live Audio Translation (LAT)
  • History, Audio History & Words
  • Batch Translate + Export (to PC)
  • Dictionary
  • Quick Translate
  • Chat integration for extension
  • Extension settings
  • Attach to process capabilities in OCR

Updated:

  • Completely revamped the OCR System and capturing methods especially for Live Mode
  • Settings reorganization
  • OCR overlay toolbar can be repositioned
  • Anki detection method (runs on a background thread so it no longer gets trapped and locks you out from doing anything on losing connection from anki being closed)
  • Batch translate method: paddle -> comic-text-detector (Saved me by removing a dependency that the OCR Engine also used for lookups, plus paddle is great but not so much for manga)

Fixes:

  • Multiple LAT delay & sync fixes (this was such a pain in the ass)
  • Multiple OCR Engine fixes (not as much of a pain in the ass)
  • OCR overlay occasional & toolbar jittering (this was a massive pain in the ass)

Deleted:

  • Old OCR System and capturing methods
  • Old OCR toolbar overlay
  • Scanning method for extension
