Commits included in this release: https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/compare/v0.4.0-alpha03...v0.4.0-alpha04

Major Smartbar rework (#2012)

• Smartbar layout changes
  • The Smartbar now has 4 different layouts to choose from: Suggestions only, Actions only, Suggestions+Actions shared (comparable to Gboard) and Suggestions+Actions extended (comparable to SwiftKey)
  • Each Smartbar layout has different layout-specific options
• Changes to quick actions
  • Implement Smartbar actions overflow panel
  • Implement Smartbar actions editor panel, which allows to customize the order of the actions (#1612)
  • Remove Clipboard/Cursor row and add each of its buttons as a separate quick action
• Other Smartbar improvements
  • Add tooltips on long-press for Smartbar actions (#1094)
  • Fix auto action expansion interfering with arrow keys (#1674)
  • Fix quick action icon size too small for landscape (#1781)
• Changes to Smartbar theming
  • Default theme users: Nothing needs to be done, all changes apply automatically.
  • Custom theme users: Changes do NOT apply automatically! As such the Smartbar theming may look messed up, some surfaces may be transparent, etc. Please use the new default themes for reference on what can be themed, so it looks good for your theme again! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Incognito-mode (#2012)

• Add incognito mode
  • Enables/disables itself either if the target app requests it or if one specific state is forced via Settings > Advanced > Incognito mode (#617)
  • If enabled this mode prevents new words to be learnt and stored in the personal dictionary (technically has no effect in this alpha release as there is no suggestions algorithm and no learning logic implemented, but relevant for upcoming releases)
• Add Smartbar quick action for incognito mode (#153)
  • Effectively shows the state of incognio mode and allows you to toggle the mode, only available though if not already forced via Settings > Advanced > Incognito mode
• Add incognito mode indicator
  • Shows inbetween the keyboard background and the key surfaces, by default in a subtle grey shade
  • Can be themed by changing the foreground of the incognito-mode-indicator rule to some other color in the stylesheet editor

Other changes

• Privacy policy has been moved and rewritten. For you as a user nothing has changed, FlorisBoard is still as private as before. Please see the official announcement why this had to be done. You can read the new privacy policy here, alternatively you can find the link in the Settings' about screen or in the Setup screen.
• Adjust and fix keyboard height calculation (#1561)
• Improve sounds and vibration screen (#2003)

Known issues

• When showing the keyboard UI after longer idling, it may refuse to accept touch input at first. If this happens, hide the keyboard and tap back into the text field you want to type, then it works again. This is a bug which is very difficult to address and no solution has been found yet.

Commits included in this release: https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/compare/v0.4.0-alpha02...v0.4.0-alpha03

Commits included in this release: https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/compare/v0.4.0-alpha01...v0.4.0-alpha02

Auto-spacing and auto-capitalization changes

• Add auto-spacing after punctuation (#375)
  • Disabled by default as this is experimental, go to Settings > Typing and enable "Auto-space after punctuation" to try it out
  • Please give feedback about this new feature if you want in #1935 (feedback, bugs, ideas)
  • Auto-spacing intentionally does NOT work in URL, EMAIL and PASSWORD text fields to prevent several input issues
  • Previous auto-space is automatically overridden if multiple symbols are inserted in a row to prevent issues such as "Word. . . "
  • May break for exotic characters (aka everything not representable with one char in UTF-16)
  • There's no hardcoded language restriction, however it is tailored towards symbols used mostly in Latin-based languages atm
• Disable auto-capitalization for Thai language (#1908)

• Rework clipboard suggestions logic and allow for multiple items (#739)

Spell-checker changes

• Remove Nuspell spell check implementation for now (#1921)
  • This means that temporarily no spell checking is working, see linked issues for details
  • Spell-checking will be integrated into the upcoming suggestions- and auto-correction logic, thus spell checking will evolve together with the progress of word suggestions
  • Maybe Nuspell for spell-checking will be re-implemented again as an optional alternative for the user to select from, however this is not decided yet

Other changes

• Add Costa Rican colón currency set (#1914)
• Correct layout name for RU&UA (ЙЦУКЕН) (#1681, thanks @VladWinner)
• Refactor and improve C++ codebase (#1895, thanks @sevz17)

Known issues

Commits included in this release: https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/compare/v0.3.16...v0.4.0-alpha01

New app icons (#1775)

FlorisBoard now has new app icons for each track, designed and provided for use in this project by BloodRaven0, thanks a lot! <3

Stable	Beta	Debug

Input logic and editor caching behavioral changes (#1822)

• Major rework of the internal editor instance and caching logic
  • Editor content state is now cached in a "window" around the cursor, which allows to make predictive cache changes and avoid unnecessary input connection calls (#1822)
  • Improve input performance by utilizing the new cached window system
  • Improve the communication between FlorisBoard and the target input connection
• Adjust timing for double tap / key repeat events (#1095)

Minimum required Android version change

The minimum required Android version has been changed from Android 6 (API level 23) to Android 7 (API level 24). This change was hard to decide but it allows to fully use the ICU platform package Android provides since API 24. See #1822 for the detailed reasoning for this change. I am aware that this step may affect some users (especially old tablets), but FlorisBoard is a fast moving modern Android keyboard with limited developing resources, so I decided in favor of increasing the minimum required Android version.

Enhancements and fixes for space, enter and delete keys

• Add delete key long press option in gesture prefs (#637)
  • The long press action for the delete key can now be changed between "Delete last character" and "Delete last word". If the latter is used and you hold down the delete key, entire words instead of characters will be deleted until you release the delete key again.
• Add "Always delete word" toggle for glide typing (#1541, #1036)
  • By default tapping delete after a glided word will now delete the whole glided word, except if you disable the newly added toggle.
• Fix delete key precise selection gesture bugs
• Fix double-space period placing period incorrectly (#524)
• Pressing delete will not reset the keyboard anymore inside the Settings preview field (#1617)
• Fix enter key behavior for multiline and shift (#1037)
  • FlorisBoard now supports if messaging apps' "Enter key sends message" option, as long as the target messaging app field is configured correctly. Tested and verified in WhatsApp and Signal.
• Fix space bar tapping rapidly causing characters to be deleted (#1792)

Shift-key/Capitalization-specific changes

• Rework shift state management
  • Shifting now differentiates between "Unshifted", "Shifted (Manual)", "Shifted (Automatic)" and "Caps lock"
  • Fix Dvorak layout symbols which misinterpreted shift states previously (#528)
• Add ability to hold shift without caps lock (#1764)
  • This allows you to use the shift key as known on a PC keyboard. If you long press shift and start typing within the first second (exact time depends on your long press timeout in prefs), caps lock will not get activated. However if you only long press shift without character input, caps lock will be activated, like previously also possible in 0.3.15 and earlier.
• Fix shift key state concurrency issue in touch logic (#227)
• Fix shift long press resetting after releasing (#1834)
• Fix auto-capitalization and re-evaluate on new subtype (#1623)

Keyboard logic and UI changes / fixes

• Added a button for switching to an IME that supports voice (#1587, thanks @ElishaAz)

  • Please see #1751 and #1797 for details regarding this change
• Update Kurdish layout and overall improvements (#1798, thanks @GoRaN909)

Performance and APK size improvements (#1870, #1894)

• Add baseline profile
  • This baseline profile should be a slight improvement in the initial app startup time
• Add Proguard optimization to beta and stable builds
  • Production builds now properly remove unused code and resources, thus decreasing the APK size by about 3MB (~18MB to ~15MB)
  • Depending on your device this can also lead to a performance improvement in both app startup time and runtime usage
• Minor improvements to the runtime performance, especially regarding events triggered by user input:
  • Improve input feedback controller performance (especially for vibrations)
  • Improve language display name performance by caching it
  • Prevent unnecessary stack trace collection in KeyboardState
  • Improve auto capitalization performance

Glide typing improvements and bug fixes (#1844)

• Add punctuation rules logic for auto-spacing (#596, #1828)
  • This change vastly improves the auto-space functionality for Latin-based languages by providing punctuation rules for evaluation of symbols preceding/following spaces.
  • Add ability to define additional punctuation rules in keyboard
• Fix glide typing not working for long words (#1851)
  • This change addresses the long known issue of glide having difficulties with long words. For phone screens this issue is now fixed, however for tablets or very large phone screens this issue may still occur. A fix for these kind of large screen requires a major overhaul of the glide logic in the future.
• Auto-disable glide typing for password fields
• Fix active key not appearing pressed for moving gestures (#1846)
• Fix glide typing broken in some input fields (#1009, #1247)

• Re-add vibration to emoji screen (#1675)
• Fix symbols emoji category icon not representative (#1421)
• Fix incorrect aspect ratio for emoji keys (#1856)

Settings changes

• Possibly fix prefs sometimes reset on startup (#1726, #1868)
  • Note that this bug occurs only on some devices and you probably haven't experienced this bug beforehand, so this fix does not apply to you
  • Should you be the unlucky user to experience this bug after this release again, please provide more details in #1726, so I can try to find the reason why this bug rarely occurs. Thanks!
• Add debug log view/export screen
• Add exact stacktrace error log for backup failure (#1847)
• Add translations for emoji key and landscape input Syngg elements

• Fix active key not appearing pressed for moving gestures (#1846)
• Fix glide typing broken in some input fields (#1009, #1247)
• Fix phantom space not resetting in selection update, causing the glide word deletion mode to not reset (#916)
• Fix glide threshold using incorrect units, causing short words to be impossible to input using glide (#1023)

Emoji improvements / bug fixes (#1855)

• Rework internal EmojiCompat implementation and decrease emoji load time UI jank (#1770)
• Re-add vibration to emoji screen (#1675)
• Fix symbols emoji category icon not representative (#1421)
• Fix incorrect aspect ratio for emoji keys (#1856)

Other changes

• Add additional Persian layout (#1823, thanks @Mahantor)

Known issues

• When showing the keyboard UI after longer idling, it may refuse to accept touch input at first. If this happens, hide the keyboard and tap back into the text field you want to type, then it works again. This is a temporary workaround and hopefully a fix will be found for the 0.3.16 releases.

Input logic and editor caching fixes (#1832)

Thanks a lot for the initial feedback on the last beta 0.3.16-beta01! This was really helpful eliminating a lot of issues and overall improving the input even more, especially for the shift key behavior. If you find other issues regarding the input logic in this beta release, feel free to continue using the discussion thread #1827 for providing feedback for this, I really appreciate it!

• Adjust timing for double tap / key repeat events (#1095)
• Fix backspace sometimes not working in initial state (#1831)
• Fix long press action being run outside main thread, causing rare state mismatches
• Fix space swipe not checking for raw input editor

Shift-key/Capitalization-specific changes

• Rework shift state management
  • Shifting now differentiates between "Unshifted", "Shifted (Manual)", "Shifted (Automatic)" and "Caps lock"
  • Fix Dvorak layout symbols which misinterpreted shift states previously (#528)
• Add ability to hold shift without caps lock (#1764)
  • This allows you to use the shift key as known on a PC keyboard. If you long press shift and start typing within the first second (exact time depends on your long press timeout in prefs), caps lock will not get activated. However if you only long press shift without character input, caps lock will be activated, like previously also possible in 0.3.15 and earlier.
• Fix shift key state concurrency issue in touch logic (#227)
• Fix shift long press resetting after releasing (#1834)
• Fix auto-capitalization and re-evaluate on new subtype (#1623)

Non-Latin composition re-implementation and improvements

• Re-implement composers into new editor instance logic (#1832)
  • Typing in Korean and Vietnamese (Telex) is now working again
• Vastly improve Telex for Vietnamese (#1797, thanks @thanhhocse96)
  • Please see #1751 and #1797 for details regarding this change

Other changes

• Fix Smartbar placeholder suggestion UI not updating correctly
• Improve devtools input state overlay
• Refactor AndroidX.Room to use KSP + export schema correctly

Known issues

• When showing the keyboard UI after longer idling, it may refuse to accept touch input at first. If this happens, hide the keyboard and tap back into the text field you want to type, then it works again. This is a temporary workaround and hopefully a fix will be found for the 0.3.16 releases.
• Glide typing has issues recognizing long words (unknown cause atm, not sure if this is still an issue)

New app icons

FlorisBoard now has new app icons for each track, designed and provided for use in this project by BloodRaven0, thanks a lot! <3

Stable	Beta	Debug

See #1775 for implementation.

Input logic and editor caching behavioral changes (#1822)

• Major rework of the internal editor instance and caching logic
  • Editor content state is now cached in a "window" around the cursor, which allows to make predictive cache changes and avoid unnecessary input connection calls (#1822)
  • Improve input performance by utilizing the new cached window system
  • Improve the communication between FlorisBoard and the target input connection

This new system has been tested on many common apps and all major bugs I noticed have been ironed out. Should I have accidentally broken input in an app (in comparison to a previous FlorisBoard version or another keyboard) or you just want to give general feedback on this overhaul please make sure to give me feedback in #1827 instead of raising a new issue, this allows me to have these types of issues in one place and fix them in subsequent beta and rc releases before 0.3.16 stable.

Minimum required Android version change

The minimum required Android version has been changed from Android 6 (API level 23) to Android 7 (API level 24). This change was hard to decide but it allows to fully use the ICU platform package Android provides since API 24. See #1822 for the detailed reasoning for this change. I am aware that this step may affect some users (especially old tablets), but FlorisBoard is a fast moving modern Android keyboard with limited developing resources, so I decided in favor of increasing the minimum required Android version.

If there's really a big need for Android 6 support in 0.3.16 and beyond I can experiment with making an extra APK for devices still on this API level which includes its own ICU4J packaged, however this means a very large APK size and is possibly quite hard to maintain in the long run.

Enhancements and fixes for space, enter and delete keys

• Fix double-space period placing period incorrectly (#524)
• Add delete key long press option in gesture prefs (#637)
  • The long press action for the delete key can now be changed between "Delete last character" and "Delete last word". If the latter is used and you hold down the delete key, entire words instead of characters will be deleted until you release the delete key again.
• Add "Always delete word" toggle for glide typing (#1541, #1036)
  • By default tapping delete after a glided word will now delete the whole glided word, except if you disable the newly added toggle.
• Fix delete key precise selection gesture bugs
• Pressing delete will not reset the keyboard anymore inside the Settings preview field (#1617)
• Fix enter key behavior for multiline and shift (#1037)
  • FlorisBoard now supports if messaging apps' "Enter key sends message" option, as long as the target messaging app field is configured correctly. Tested and verified in WhatsApp and Signal.
• Fix space bar tapping rapidly causing characters to be deleted (#1792)

Other changes

• Rework internal project structure, code base and some package names (#1780)
• Update Kurdish layout and overall improvements (#1798, thanks @GoRaN909)

• Add support for Extracted Landscape Input (#1734)
  • This fixes issues where the keyboard laid itself over the input field.

  • For default theme users the new colors for this UI will automatically apply, for custom theme users it must be manually added to the theme. (See the default themes for the setup)
• Add support for videos on clipboard history (#1721)
  • Note that not many apps support videos from the clipboard, so in many instances you won't be able to paste a video yet.
