Release 1.0.3 of Dubsar removes all externally-hosted content, including all links to social networks and other websites. It upgrades to jQuery UI 1.8.7 and offers support for the OpenSearch protocol.
December 13, 2010
- Removed social links Out of concern for the privacy of visitors to the site (in extreme cases) and overall site performance, all externally-hosted material has been removed from Dubsar.
- Upgrade to jQuery UI 1.8.7 This is the current stable release.
- Added OpenSearch support Dubsar now serves an /opensearch.xml file defining it as a search engine and allowing it to be added to certain browsers' search-engine lists.
- Added support for Google subscribed links A rake links task has been added to generate a list of subscribed links for Google, in public/links.xml. The task takes two to three hours.
- Tabbing through the search form Issue 11 This is simply a matter of browser configuration.
See Dubsar's full current list of open issues at https://github.com/jdee/dubsar/issues.
- Invalid inflections These have mostly been cleaned up. The remaining errors primarily involve verbs ending in a short syllable with l or s. The clean-up process continues.
- Missing inflections Some verbs do not list regular past-tense forms because of the presence of an irregular form. This requires review.
- Unresponsive autocompleter For example, type a, generating an autocomplete menu beginning with ask. Backspace to erase the input. Then type a again. You'll get no autocompleter. If you type b to make ab, then backspace, you'll get the autocompleter again.
- OpenSearch suggestions not working with IE in a guest account With IE 8 on Vista, in a guest account, searching Dubsar from the browser's search box works, but an error is reported when requesting suggestions. This works fine on the same host in a privileged account.
- Back: opening the right accordion pane Dubsar's accordions work well when refreshing a page, which happens in particular when a user requests a search returning no results. Dubsar will redirect to the previous screen (if the search was performed using the search form), open the correct accordion pane and position it where it was when that pane was opened. This does not work in the general case of going back to a previous screen.
- Back: getting the display theme right If you navigate from one Dubsar screen to another, change the display theme, then immediately go back, the previous page will be displayed in the previous theme.
- Header bar doesn't display well in a narrow window If the window is made too narrow, the search form will overlap the alphabet links on the left of the header bar.
- Wrong accordion pane with navigation option In a search like http://dubsar-dictionary.com/?term=turn#turn_v, the accordion pane for the verb should be open. It fails on every tested browser except Camino on OS X and Safari on Windows. It seems likely to be an issue between jQuery UI and the various browsers.
See Supported Browsers and Devices for updated information.
Dubsar requires a JavaScript-enabled browser. Currently, Dubsar works well in the following browsers:
- Firefox 3 on all platforms (Ubuntu, Vista, OS X)
- Google Chrome 6, 7 & 8 on all platforms
- Safari 5 on OS X and Vista
- Camino 2 on OS X
- OmniWeb 5 on OS X
- Internet Explorer 8 on Vista
Dubsar has not been tested with a version of Internet Explorer below 8.
Dubsar works on the following browsers, but with significant styling glitches:
- Opera 10 on all platforms
- Konqueror 4 on Ubuntu Linux
The QUnit test suite currently passes in all listed browsers.
The server has been tested both on Ubuntu and OS X.
