• Features

  • dict: loading user dictionary are now also controlled by enabled_dicts
    in chewing_new3().

    can be used to control whether phrase selections are automatically locked
    after some condition.

• Bug Fixes

  • dict: fixed parsing trie dictionary file with extension fields.
  • dict: fixed trie_buf tombstone is not cleared after adding phrase again.
  • dict: use max freq of all dictionaries as phrase frequency to avoid repeatedly
    adding static dictionary freq to user dictionary freq.

  • rust: breaking! renamed UserDictionaryLoader to UserDictionaryManager.
