17 December 2014Favourite Stories, Enhanced!
The Story dialog in flashcard reviews will now display a starred (ie. favourite) story, if you didn't enter your own. To take advantage of this feature, make sure to favourite no more than one story per character. This effectively means you no longer need to copy a public story to see it during reviews. Thanks to Richard for the suggestion! -
13 December 2014Couple Fixes & Updated Keywords
Misc. fixes- Improved validation of stories, to avoid creating non-functional character links in the shared stories. Character links (eg. {10} ) in stories are properly validated, and otherwise an error message will show up. Only Heisig frame numbers, and characters belonging to the CJK Unified Ideograph range can be used in those links.
- Fixed highlighting of kanji in the Reading page (thanks hanysz)
This isn't a new feature, but many users may not be aware. As of writing, there are 12559 characters in the database accessible in the Study pages. To navigate to "non-Heisig" characters, you can either type the character in the search box, or enter its unicode value, for example 19986 is 丒. At the moment, these characters get an automatic keyword like "Unicode #19986" and the keyword can not be customized. If the character has a Study page, you can create a link to it in a story by using the unicode value so eg. {19986} will link to 丒.
List of keywords changed in Dec. 3rd update
Here is a list of 5th edition keywords that have changed with the "Multiple Editions" update. As I worked on the update, I made the decision to go with the 6th edition keywords, and fall back to the 5th edition keywords for characters that are no longer in the last edition. This is a small compromise I made in order to keep the complexity of the app in check (as well as the database). I felt it was a reasonable compromise for the following reasons. First, 12 of these are in Volume 1, and the remaining 28 changed keywords are for Volume 3, which concerns a much smaller group of the user base. And secondly, users can customize these keywords if they already commited them to memory, and otherwise it is probably a good idea to go with the new edition keywords.

11 December 2014Minor fixes for last update.
A small update today fixes the following:
- Profiles displayed incorrect values of flashcard count and total reviews (thanks brookwind, Carlos, Gonzalo and Sebastian for letting me know).
- Kanji links in stories saved before the update were not formatted, so eg. {500} would show up as is, instead of turning into a link.
- Fixed copying old stories using kanji links which would then link to the incorrect character when saved while using the new edition.
Kanji links are formatted according to the reader's selected index. Someone using the old edition will then see 肘 (#2464). Someone using the new edition will see 肘 (#46). Both will link to the same character's Study page, but the displayed index is based on the user's selected edition.
This gives you an idea as to how much fun I had working on the last update ;)
Next on my todo list: I have to fix one keyword, and document (here) a few keywords in the old edition that were upgraded to the new edition. I have received a couple suggestions to add flashcard settings in the new Account page, and I'd love to work on them. However I have to prioritize and my next task will be to add Simplified Hanzi support to Reviewing the Hanzi website. -
3 December 2014RTK 6th Edition Support is live!
New members are automatically set up with the 6th edition of Remembering the Kanji. Already registered users: if you'd like to use the 6th edition index, go to the new Kanji Sequence page in the Account tab, and select the New Edition.
Your stories and flashcards are completely SAFE when switching indexes. The chosen index simply changes the displayed Heisig "frame number", and it changes which kanji gets added to your flashcards when you enter frame numbers in the Manage page. I will post a more detailed update soon to explain how the switch between indexes work, as well as the "extended frame numbers" (briefly: any frame number above 12000 is an "extended frame number", whereby the site uses the Unicode Character Set values as a makeshift extension of the Heisig frame numbers).
The site was down approx. 15 mins at 6pm CET for the update, sorry about that :) I did my best to run various scenarios and try to catch as many bugs as possible. With such a wide refactoring of the code, it's very possible some minor bugs are left. Please let me know asap. Hopefully everything's fine and dandy!
