Hey Chulai,
Can you please update the portable early access builds one more time? The popup UI changes are not available in the last builds.

Thanks,
Justin

[chulai]

Yes, I'm half way. Stay tuned.

[Tvangeste]

Yes, I'm half way. Stay tuned.

I just fixed a Linux-specific bug in GoldenDict, so you might want to take the very latest code in order to include the fix

[chulai]

Yes, will do that. Thanks.

@chulai, would you mind creating a new portable EA build for Linux, based on the latest sources? Users ask for it since many new exciting features were added lately and they (users) are eager to try those new features.

Thanks!!

Will do when I get some free time. Creating a Linux portable version is more time-consuming than the OS X version (which I just updated).

Creating a Linux portable version is more time-consuming

In previous versions there was problem with connecting many dictionaries (while this problem is not in that system in StarDict and in Tvangeste system in build from source).
In previous version appeared problem with openning program window from system tray, while problem with openning program folder in active filemanager window from program menu dissappeared (Tvangeste said, that in his building from source there isn't that problem).
More adequate problems translation to English, I think, can give Tvangeste.

There is already GoldenDict 1.5.0-RC-11-g6a39192.
Any problems with build creation appeared?
It's possible, that new version of GD will release without testing (by ordinary users) on it main user group, i.e. Linux.
