For example, looking up "United States" in my local dictionaries, then
pressing Ctrl++ to increase zoom factor from 1 to 5 takes 4 seconds with
this change and 25 seconds without it. The same scaling takes 6 seconds
with this change and 45 seconds without when I enable English Wikipedia,
which has a particularly large "United States" article.
There is a workaround that speeds up zooming: look up a nonexistent
word, scale to the desired level, then go back to the large articles.
But this is tedious if large articles are open in scan popup or
in case of many tabs in the main window.
* #undef Bool with Qt4 as well as with Qt5.
* #undef min, #undef max from <X11/Xlibint.h>.
* #include <fixx11h.h> just after hotkeywrapper.hh. Unfortunately this
header can not be included in hotkeywrapper.hh directly because
some of the undef-ed words are actually used in hotkeywrapper.cc.
* #include <fixx11h.h> after <X11/Xlib.h> in mainwindow.cc just in case
hotkeywrapper.hh stops including this Xlib.h header in the future.
These changes should make future compilation errors less likely.
For example, without "#undef min" in hotkeywrapper.hh, including
<iomanip> in mainwindow.cc after the mainwindow.hh include resulted in
the following GCC 8 compilation error:
/usr/include/c++/8.2.1/bits/locale_facets_nonio.tcc:945:22:
error: expected unqualified-id before ‘(’ token
__minlen = std::min(__minlen,

* add a new interface class AudioPlayerInterface;
* inherit a new proxy class Ffmpeg::AudioPlayer from it;
* partially switch ArlticleView to using the interface;
* expose MainWindow's AudioPlayerInterface instance to all ArticleView
instances;
* add a new AudioPlayerFactory class responsible for creating instances
of concrete classes derived from AudioPlayerInterface depending on
relevant Config::Preferences values;
* increase minimum supported Qt version from 4.5 to 4.6 in README
in order to use QScopedPointer introduced in Qt 4.6.
This forces the jump even when the dictionary is already a current/active dictionary.
This is convenient for the following use-cases:
1. User manually scrolls far away from the current dictionary and would like to return.
2. User jumps far away from the current dictionary when doing search (Ctrl+F).
3. User scrolls a huge article and would like to get back to the beginning of it.
The new History Pane features proper mouse and keyboard navigation,
multiple selection and ability to remove the selected entries,
plus a dynamic context menu. Additionaly, the History's size is now
configurable in Preferences.
Use Ctrl+H to show/hide the History Pane.
History Pane's titlebar can be styled via #historyPaneTitleBar, e.g.:
/* Colored header for the History Pane */
background: lightsteelblue;
margin: 2px;
}
Closes #162: Make History sidebar independent from the Search Pane
Closes #159: "Send to main window" button from Pop-Up window does nothing when History is shown
Closes #158: Preserve History mode after restart
Closes #157: History with new UI: New words are not added when History is shown
Closes #156: History with new UI: Extra Groups widget in History is shown
Closes #155: History with new UI: Arrow keys navigation in History doesn't work
Closes #154: History with new UI: DEL key does not delete the current history entry
Users now have a choice:
* The new way: The field to enter words located like in all browsers, in the toolbar.
* The old way: to search in the sidebar.
Both UI modes are supported and can be switched between via View -> Search Pane menu.
* Status Bar now available for Scan Popup window as well.
* Fixed #13: Eliminated modal box when sound is not available:
Instead of modal dialog box we now show the status bar message,
with error icon, thus making it visible but not disruptive.
* Proper handling of status bar images.
* Styling of the status bar in both modes
(in Mani Window and in Popup Window).
Now when a user activates an article (by clicking on it, or by using Alt-Up/Down shortcuts),
corresponding dictionary in the "found in dictionaries" pane is selected.
See Issue #22.
P.S. Lingvo behaves in the same way too.
* Small pop-up window at the bottom of the main winodw instead
of traditional status bar, that consumes lots of space.
* API, similar to standard Qt's status bar.
* The status bar hides itself after specified amount of time.
* Clicking on the status bar also hides it.
* Properly behavies on resizes/moves/focus/etc.
* Tested on Linux and Windows.
