November 29, 2020 - Patch Notes

Hello everyone!

Our Black Friday Sale (Buy One Year, Gift One Free) is over on November 30, 2020 at 11:59:59PM PST. Make sure to purchase before then if you want to give a subscription to a friend or if you want to split the purchase 50/50 with someone you know.

We're working on the new learning experience but will be getting out some smaller stability stuff this week as well, as we can fit it in. Today's patch fixes a long-standing issue with kana sets. Thanks to our testers for helping reproduce this issue and track it down so that we could quickly get it taken care of!

Fixes

General

  • Fixed an issue where the kanji element table would make a request to the API every time the browser was focused

Kana Learning Tool

  • Fixed an issue where learning consecutive kana sets would cause the system to get stuck, preventing the student from progressing without returning to their dashboard and starting again

New Kanji and Vocabulary

  • Fixed an issue where new kanji and vocabulary would not respect the order set in the CMP, causing students to see things out of order

Known Issues

The following issues have been documented and we hope to have a fix for them soon. Keep an eye out here or reach out on our Discord if you have any questions about them.Flashcards

  • Archiving a flashcard, deleting a flashcard, or undoing a review are all slower than we would like them to be and we are working on making these actions faster.Streaks
  • There is an issue where student streaks will not increase for seemingly no reason.Shadow Albums
  • The interval and repeat settings for the shadow albums are not being respected by the system at this time
