atching is implemented:
- If user's search term contains any of Hamza characters
(ء, إ, ئ, ٲ, or ؤ), it will be matched with all o
ther forms of Hamza characters (those Hamza characters are regarded the same). F
or example ARABIC_LETTER_HAMZA (or ARABIC_LETTER_WAW_WITH_HAMZA_ABOVE) will be m
atched with itself as well as ARABIC_LETTER_ALEF_WITH_HAMZA_ABOVE, ARABIC_LETTER
_ALEF_WITH_HAMZA_BELOW, ARABIC_LETTER_WAW_WITH_HAMZA_ABOVE, and ARABIC_LETTER_YE
H_WITH_HAMZA_ABOVE.
- If user's search term contains Hamza base (AKA Kursi)
characters (which are ARABIC_LETTER_ALEF (ا), ARABIC_LETTER_YEH (ي)
and ARABIC_LETTER_WAW (و)) they will only match with themselves as well as
their corresponding Hamza character (or characters for the case of Alef). For e
xample if user entered ARABIC_LETTER_ALEF (ا), it will be matched with ARA
BIC_LETTER_ALEF_WITH_HAMZA_ABOVE (ٲ), ARABIC_LETTER_ALEF_WITH_HAMZA_BELOW
(إ), and also <tt>ARABIC_LETTER_ALEF</tt> (ا) itself.

Splash screen made double buffered (SWT.DOUBLE_BUFFER) so no blinking wh
en refreshed anymore.
Unicode LRM, RLM, and RLE is added to the following in order to make the
m more readable when an RTL language packs is selected (Arabic, Persian, ...):
1. theme selection combo box in options form
2. language selection combo box in optons form
3. translation names under View > Translation menu
4. recitation names under Audio > Recitation menu
Advanced navigation (View > Go to)
- Next/Previous sura
- Next/Previous aya
- Next/Previous juz
- Next/Previous hizb quarter
Bug fixes:
Bookmark sets are now saved by default as UTF-8, fixing the bug which ca
used bookmarks to save in file.encoding encoding.
Bug with QuranFormMenuFactory.createOrUpdateBookmarkMenu(), which caused
new bookmarks menu to be created fixed.
Fixing flash loading problem on large suras in Linux, by adding a 100-mi
llisecond timeout to SWF object initialization.
If flash object is not loaded (either because object loading of the brow
ser is slow, or HTTP server is disabled), no JavaScript error is shown to the us
er.
Bug fix for Print CSS for all themes: hiding footerBar for printing.
Bug fix for suraAyaSign font size in all themes.
Hizb quarter tooltip text fixed (hizb number was counted incorrectly).
Hizb quarter is shown for hizb start points (2 locations per juz), with
a modified tooltip text (quarter part is now shown).
One of the most important bugs with Mozilla on Linux (and also Widows XU
LRuner) fixed. This bug prevented using aya box in nav-bar to change aya within
a sura. It also caused aya syncing (automatically focusing on the next aya when
one aya is finished) not to work when playing a recitataion in continuous mode.
Version 0.7.0 beta 1 - [20-3-08]
Quran translation verification added in order to verify whether the text
is authentic (downloaded from the official website) or not.
- Each translation (and other signable packs) should have a sign
ature meta data.
- If the signature is not valid, user will be prompted by a warn
ing message.

nslation is loaded).
Two new properties introduced for translation descriptors: "version" (transl
ation descriptor file version), and "signature" (digital signature of the transl
ation text).
Check for update menu item added under Help menu.
- It looks up in the update site (update.address property) for any n
ew update available.
- QuranForm checks for update on Shell activation if this is time fo
r update (update.checkInterval is passed from update.lastCheck)
- Update info is downloaded in form of an XML file from server.

It contains version, build number, release status, download URL, etc.
- Check for update action or its menu item can be fully disabled by
setting update.enable property to false. This can be helpful when user is always
offline or Zekr is used as a Debian package (which should has it's own method o
f updating).
A "View log" link added to the about page, which tries to open log. It c
an be used for technical support.
Sky theme enhancements:
- Rounded corner on Mozilla or CSS3-compliant browsers.
- Sura name on the top of each sura
- Text-based Bismillah on the top of each Sura (except suras 1 a
nd 9)
/res/text/metadata directory created. quran-properties.xml and each qura

its addresses is under this folder as well.
VM info in the log file updated to be more accurate.
Localization of all numbers in search result messages.
Changing sura-aya location to the form: sura#:aya# (e.g. 3:130). It used

port, if no other one is available, or use the first recitation as default.
English translation and transliteration of sura names added to quran-pro
perties.xml.

nglish transliteration, Local translation, or Local transliteration. The last tw
o are available only if quran-properties-xy.xml file was available for selected
language (where xy is the language code). view.sura.name property added to confi
g.properties to store user's sura name mode.
No need to restart application anymore if a new translation is added. Re
starting is still needed when application launched with no default translation (
hence translation support is disabled until it is restarted).
Switching to quran-simple Quran text file obtained from tanzil.info. Thi
s is an accurate Quran text, which is best for reading Quran. As a result all ki
nds of Waqf signs are available even in non-Uthmai theme.
When selecting multi-trans layout, Zekr brings up multi-translations cus
tomization form if custom translation list size is zero.
"Configure Custom translations" menu item, moved under View > Translatio
n menu.
A new basic (although not so basic) search based on Tanzil.info search a
lgorithm introduced (as a result two view.search.sortOrder, view.search.sortBy a
nd view.search.multiline added to config.properties):
- The GUI of basic and advanced search is now identical (althoug
h there are still two tabs).

- Revelation data packages are zip files with suffix .revel.zip,
containing an ordering data (.revel.txt) file and a revelation descriptor (reve
lation.properties).
- Revelation packages may have two modes: sura and aya. If a rev
el-pack is in sura mode, it should have exactly 114 numbers representing revelat
ion order of 114 Quran suras. In aya mode, it has 6236 numbers representing reve
lation order of all ayas. Note that non of these are accurate, and revelation or
der is a debatable topic.
- Revelation packs are signed so that Zekr can verify authentici
ty of the package.
Two new sort order added to Lucene search. Users can sort search results
by: 1. Aya length 2. Revelation order (based on the current selected revelation
data pack) as well as the previous options(Similarity and Natural order)
Sorted search results can be ordered ascending or descending both for ba
se search and Lucene search. Two new properties added to config.properties accor
dingly: view.search.sortOrder and view.search.advanced.sortOrder which accept "a
sc" and "des" values.
A new checkbox: "Enable audio support" added to OptionsForm, general tab
, to enable or disable audio support. When disabling, it also disables local HTT
P server. This item is enable when both audio.enable and server.http.enable are
enabled. Otherwise it's disabled.
lineDelimiter changed to delimiter in translation descriptors. Translati
on packs should have both lineDelimiter and delimiter in order to be backward co
mpatible.
Translation packages' suffix changed to .trans.zip (formely .zip).
Full screen support: a new menu item added under View menu which switche
s GUI to the full screen mode. It requires SWT 3.4M2. When switching to full scr
een mode, a floated button is shown which switchs back to the normal mode if pre
ssed.

A new option added to General tab to show sura names in a tree-like stru
cture. When selecting this mode,
New language pack: Spanish (Mahdi Reyes).
Bug fixes:
Disabled "Save as..." button when HTML is served through HTTP server. Ex
porting pages without having HTTP server on, is not a good idea, because no imag
e/JS/CSS resources can be accessed then.
Audio > Play/Pause menu item text is now correctly updated upon play/pau
se status change.
Player bar buttons' size fixed.
Audio menu is now correctly disabled when setting audio.enable = false i

aming.
quran_detailedTextFile changed to quran_uthmaniTextFile in theme.propert
ies.
theme.properties in user workspace is overwritten with the base one if t

Version 0.7.0 beta 2 - [24-8-08]

Show the meaning of bismillah in be beginning of each sura in translatio
n.
Upgrade:
- Lunuce x.y.z
- Tanzil Quran text file 1.0.2
- SWT 3.4.0
- commons-logging, commons-configurations, commons-io, commons-l
ang, commons-codec
Support paging:
- Four built-in paging data introduced: Sura, Juz, Hizb quarter,
Constant aya. As a result a new menu item (paging mode) introduced.
- New add-on: paging data pack. *.page.xml files in res/text/met
adata are used to introduce new paging data. An Uthmani paging is by default sup
ported (uthmani.page.xml).
- User may choose View > Paging Mode > Custom... in order to uti
lize a custom paging data available in (res/text/metadata/*.page.xml).
- Navigation bar now accepts page as well as sura-aya pair. If p
age differs from the current page, it just navigates to the beginning of that pa
ge, otherwise it navigates to the entered sura-aya location.
- Navigation buttons in work pane navigate through pages and aya
s instead of suras and ayas. For example the button previously was for Next Sura
, now navigates to the next page (if default paging mode is sura, it goes to the
next sura).
New config properties introduced: index.quran.path, index.quran.version,
index.trans.path.<translation id>, and index.trans.version.<translation id>. pr
operties. index.[quran|trans].path.[<translation id>] holds quran or a translati
on index location (identified with <translation id>), and index.[quran|trans].ve
rsion.[<translation id>] is for Zekr build number which creates that index. Inde
xes created with different versions of Zekr may not be generally compatible, so
it should reindex on each version (build number) update.
New menu group added: View > Panel, in order to show and hide different
panels. For now sura detail panel can be toggled. The state of a panel visibilit
y is persisted under view.panel.<panel id> in config.properties.
A few more progress point added for startup splash screen. A progress no
w increases startup progress bar value by 7%.
Search metadata support:
- Search metadata contains language-specific replace patterns fo
r non-searchable or equivalent characters. It also has a list of stopwords, whic
h is used to ignore those words for indexing.
- A new class SearchInfo (metadata) introduced
- A new config file res/config/search-info.properties added. Thi
s config file is included in main config.properties.
Translation search:
- Basic search support. It uses pattern replacements provided in
search-info.properties.
- Advanced search support. It uses pattern replacements provided
in search-info.properties, or built-in Lucene analyzers if available for that l
anguage.
All 'View > Go To' menu items moved to a new global Menu: Go To. Random
Aya also moved to this new menu.
Two backups for zekr.log are kept: log4j.appender.RUNTIME.MaxBackupIndex
=2.
Update site URL moved from config.properties to version.properties. It's
a security risk to have the URL inside user config.
Root database:
- A new configuration property: "root.enabled". One can disabled
root database, because it's somewhat memory consuming.
- All the Quran roots (indexed by root itself), and reverse inde
x for roots of a single aya are loaded from res/text/metadata/quran-root.txt.
- Search through Quran roots.
- Sort results by: 1. Natural order, 2. Similarity, 3. Revelatio
n order, and 4. Aya length.
- Sort order: ascending and descending.
- Set search scope for limiting root search results.
Add support to index transltion data through command line (-index option
).
Goto Next/prev hizb quarter shortcut changed to Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left.
Indicative icons added near each translation item in the menu, to showin
g if a translation is signed, unknown (not loaded), or unsigned.
New language pack: hebrew.xml (Yotam Benshalom).
Bug fixes:
A bug with basic search fixed, which happened when a whole clause was fo
und at the end of an aya.
Menu icons are not shown anymore in Mac.
Major and minor sajda replaced with "mandatory" and "recommended" sajda.
An incompatibility issue resolved which caused sura.vm not work with Vel
ocity 1.5. Thanks for Serkan Kaba's patch.
When an SWT Tree is set as SWT.SINGLE, it's selection listener is once c
alled upon its first selection (which is selected by system). It caused aya not
to be selected correctly in aya selection combo. A small but of checking (if (e.
time > 0)) added to tree selection adapter in order to ignore its first systemy
selection.
A bug with unloading (TranslationData.unload()) currently in use transla
tions, when multi-translation layout was selected is fixed. Since it mistakenly
unload a translation which was in use, Zekr gave NPE errors for accessing transl
ation of ayas.
Just one thread is started for HTTP server. It used to start two separat
e thread, one of them was redundant.
Manually focusing on an aya in the page during playing a recitation caus
es to recite that aya after current one (previously ignored the focusing aya).
Fixed a bug with basic (tanzil) search highlighter. Search result was no
t highlighted correctly two or more phrases entered in the query, and at least o
ne phrase (other than the first one) was exclusive (leaded with '-').
Use StringUtils.isBlank() instead of isEmpty(). isBlank() also trims the
input string.
Change quran.text.delim to \\r\\n (Tanzil text files are in Windows line
delimiter model).
Remove extra whitespaces for search result ayas. Extra whitespaces cause
d non-elegant highlighted results.
Version 0.7.0 (Zekr Ramadan Edition 2) - [1-9-08]
Ctrl+F focuses on the visible search box.
A new stand-alone bookmarking feature: Bookmark This Aya. This feature i
s available through Ctrl+D, or Bookmarks > Bookmark This Aya menu item. It adds
a default title to the bookmark item (based on the current aya) as well as the c
urrent Quran location to it.
Bug fixes:
Changed the way quran-root is loaded. It was incompatible with GCJ.
An error message box is now shown when indexing error occurs. User index
ing cancellation is not assumed as an error.
Show the correct bookmark references to an aya. It was looking for an in
correct Quran location since last beta release.
A bug with toggling full screen fixed. It caused application to remain i
n full screen mode, even after pressing again Toggle full menu item.
Version 0.7.1 - [6-9-08]
A new buffering (pre-fetching) scheme is used to avoid lags between reci
ting two ayas. This is done using a hidden flash player, which pre-fetches and l
oads the next aya.
Added or updated some language packs and localized sura names (quran-pro
perties-he.xml, russian.xml, spanish.xml, german.xml, arabic.xml, persian.xml
Windows installer script changed to support smart deletion when uninstal
ling the software. It now logs installed files, and so does not delete files whi
ch are changed or added after installation.
Bug fixes:
A blocker bug which prevents Zekr starting fixed. It happened when the u
ser disabled audio support through Tools > Options menu.
A bug fixed with sending flash JavaScript events to a browser without an
y flash player. This happened when separate layout is selected (in which flash p
layer is loaded in the translation browser).
A bug fixed which caused menu icons being shown in Mac when toggling pla
y-pause state of the player. Icons are not shown intentionally in Mac.
Version 0.7.5 beta 1 - [31-10-09]
A cache manager added for audio files. In future releases this cache is
used to store up to x megabytes of downloaded online audios.
Adding new recitation file (.properties) will not need a restart anymore
.
New audio player scheme introduced:
- JavaZoom's jlayer and basicplayer are used. As a result adding
support for different file types is a matter of adding a new jar file.
- Added a new audio player form with several options: play, paus
e, stop, next, prev, etc.
- Added repeating support for a single aya. One may set to hear
each aya twice or more.
- Added interval (wait) support. One may wait up to x seconds af
ter playing each aya. This is helpful for studying purposes.
- There is no need anymore to an embedde HTTP server. It's remov
ed with the new player scheme.
- Playlists are removed. There is no need to such pains with the
new player scheme.
- Recitation files (.properties files) are totally changed. It's
not backward compatible, so users have to download and install newer versions o
f recitation files (just .properties file, not the whole offline package of mp3s
).
- Supports playing special items (audhubillah, bismillah, sadagh
allah) if recitation pack has anything.
Added support for proxy (as a result, Zekr requires Java 1.5.0+ from thi
s version). All network accesses are now done through NetworkController class.
Added update.enableMenu property. This makes update menu disabled/enable
d. Old update.enable is kept only for enabling or disabling auto check for updat
e.
Supporting new audio formats is a matter of adding required service prov
ider interface (SPI) to the classpath. In Zekr base package the following types
are supported by default (plus types with built-in supported by user's JRE):
- MP3 (MPEG1 and MPEG2, Layer I-III): using these libraries: tri
tonus-share, jlayer and mp3spi.
- OGG: using these libraries: tritonus-share, jorbis and vorbiss
pi.
- SPEEX: using this library: jspeex.
Shows localized recitater name (if available in recitation properties fi
le).
Search info properties are not stored in main config file. There is a se
arch-info.config near main config file which stores search info properties.

nline or offline) is shown to distinguish between same-name recitations.
Recitations are sorted based on ID.

Bug fixes:
language pack ID and Quran metadata for Hebrew updated to have hw ISO co
de instead of deprecated he ISO code.

t's open file dialog doesn't support double extension filtering (*.trans.zip).
Bookmark is saved to the disk as soon as it's quick bookmarked (Ctrl+D).
Auto-check for update is now disabled by default.
A blocker bug with Velocity 1.6.x+ fixed.
Bug 2631242: Uthmani text could not be enabled by setting quran_uthmaniT
extFile to true.
A bug fixed with uthmani.page.xml, which caused last sura (114) to have
5 ayas instead of 6 ayas.
Version 0.7.5 beta 2 - [07-11-09]
A file is added to <zekr installation>/res/config/install.properties whi
ch holds installer path. This can be accessed through GlobalConfig.ZEKR_INSTALL_
DIR, which is used to replace <installdir> variable in recitation files.
Added recitation converter. Old recitations are converted to new format
on startup. Old files are then moved to old-recitation-files folder.
QuranWriterFilter now put some special characters in filtered Uthmani te
xt for better rendering. A tatweel or a zwnj is put before small superscript ale
f according to the context.
Added a new property text.filter.noSpaceBeforeWaqf to specify whether or
not insert a space before waqf marks or not.
Custom shortcuts are supported for certain menu items.
- Class QuranFormController added with a method registerAction(m
ethodName) to ease this process.
- If the menu selection action is registered (registeration is d
one by default for all menu items to which key accelerators were bound),
it is possible to bind accelerator through file res/conf
ig/shortcut.xml. This file contains a set of keyboard shortcuts for menu actions
which can be customized based on UI direction (RTL or LT
R). Almost all key combinations can be used.
- File shortcut.xml is copied to user workspace if not available
there. If Zekr version of shortcut.xml doesn't match with user's shortcut.xml,
Zekr loads users file and adds new entries added to main shortcut.xml.
Added two menu items under Audio menu: next aya, previous aya. These com
mands reserve playing state.
Updated to SWT 3.6.0M3.
Bug fixes:

Changed startup text. Zekr doesn't show version on startup splash screen
anymore.
Show tooptip on audio player panel (useful when text exceeds the normal
panel size).
Added F1 accelerator to Help > Online Help.
Added a play/stop button next to each search result aya so that user can
play/stop search results easily. Playing model should be unified in future so t

hat one should only use one player controller to play corrently visible item.
A number of changes made to Zekr Lucene search code to make it compatibl
e with Lucene 2.9.x and 3.0.0. As a result, a new contrib dependency library luc
ene-memory added.

ch.highlightFormat (advanced search and root search) or view.search.regexHighlig
htFormat (simple search).
Added property search.maxResult as a higher limit for search result item
s.
Added name localization support to revelation packs.
audio.name property is no longer used in recitation packs. This was a du
plication of audio.reciter.

uarter number
- Supports localized sura name filtering (e.g. Al-F:3 to go to A
l-Faatiha:3).
- Supports indexed sura name in both normal order and selected r
evelation order.
- goto.focus property to save last focused box of Goto form.
Bug fixes:
A bug with opening multi translation customization form fixed.
Version 0.7.5 beta 4 - [19-02-10]
Kasra+Shadda order is reversed in order to handle classic font rendering
issue of kasra over a word and under shadda. This is done only when simple qura
n text (non-uthmani) is selected.
Added Tamil language pack, thanks to Ahamed Saifudeen.
A number of audio player enhancements:
- Added a new pre-fetching mechanism for audio files. Based on t
he value of property: audio.cache.prefetcher, a few of the next Quran locations
are just open()ed. This will boost playing speed for online recitations.
- Added progress bar to audio player form to show playing progre
ss. This only shows progress for offline recitations because of the limitation o
f the underlying audio engine.
- Added seek support to audio player. If this is an offline reci
tation and seek is supported for the current playing engine, clicking on a part
of the player progress bar will seek to there.
- Added two new shortcuts to increase/decrease player volume by
10% (Increase: Ctrl+=, Decrease: Ctrl+-).
- Added two new shortcuts to seek forward or backward by 15%.
- Added a popup menu to change current recitation pack by clicki
ng on recitation link at the top of audio player form.
- Added play scope popup menu to audio player form. These option
s are available: aya, sura, page, hizb quarter, juz and continuous. For example
if aya is selected, only plays a single aya, and if page is selected, will play
until last aya of this page is reached.
- Added three modes for playing special items (audhubillah, bism
illah and sadaghallah): always, smart, never.
Audhubillah:
1) smart: will be played only once the system is
up as the first playing item.
2) always: will be always played if current aya
is 1 of any sura, or before playing the first item when system is up. If this it
em is selected, bismillah will act as 'always', and will be played after audhubi
llah in the first aya of a suras but sura 1 and 9.
3) never: never plays this item.
Bismillah:
1) smart: will be played only when player automa

tically goes from the last aya of the previous sura to the first aya of this sur
a.
2) always: will be always played if current aya
is 1 of any sura but suras 1 and 9. Bismillah will be played after audhubillah (
if any). Setting audhubillah to 'always' will force 'always' mode for bismillah.
Sadaghallah:
1) smart: will be only played after 114:6 is pla
yed and it's in a multi-aya playing mode (any playing mode other than 'aya').
2) always: will always play sadaghallah after re
aching end of this playing mode (only in multi aya playing modes).
Added page selection to Goto form.
Zekr now supports Application Menu for Cocoa Mac (under which About, Pre
ferences and Quit are rendered).
Added a new import for recitation packs. These are offline .recit.zip pa
ckages containing a recitation descriptor (recitation.properties) and all mp3s.
In Goto form, when "Review" button is pressed, other inputs are synchron
ized with last focused input.
A fully enhanced key-binding system:
- Added three new attributes to shortcut.xml: window, suppressOn
Modal, and global. If suppressOnModal is true and
the active form is modal, the key pressed is ignored. If
current form ID exists in form IDs specified in
comma-separated values of window attribute, action is pe
rformed. If not, it checks if this action command
is global (global=true). If it is global, shortcut comma
nd takes place regardless of the active shell ID.
If not, action may take place if current shell is QuranF
orm (form id is "QURAN_FORM_ID").
- Actions may now take place globally regardless of the current
active shell. For example one may bring up "bookmarkThis"
command even if the current focus is on Audio Player for
m (because of the global="true" specified in bookmarkThis command).
- Command button is treated same as Control button if property k
ey.commandAndControlAreSame is true.
Some icons grouped in separate folder under img/icon folder.
Added version to search-info.properties file. This file will be override
n if updating Zekr to a newer version.
Updated search-info.properties to escape Al-, El- or related prefixes in
searches. This is specially helpful in GoTo form sura name lookup.
Updated to commons-config-1.6.0. It's still compatible with 1.5.0 though
t.
Added an option tab for audio in order to set playing mode for special i
tems (audhubillah, ...).
A few icons of options form updated.
Added Macedonian language pack, thanks to Bojan Jankuloski.

Failure of adding a new recitation pack is shown as error not warning. W
arning should be only displayed for translation signature issues.
Version 0.7.5 - [01-04-10]
Show toString() error detail of QuranFormController.execute() failure. W
ill show cause if available.
Added zoom/unzoom buttons to Zekr Quran form. These buttons will increas
e or decrease Quran and translation font size by 1 pt.
Default font size of Quran increased to 19pt in both Uthman Taha and Sky
themes. Default translation size increased to 11pt.
Added a new property text.filter.supress. Will bypass QuranWriterFilter
before outputting Quran text if this property is true.
Bug fixes:
Will ignore a translation pack if no translation file found in the zip a
rchive.
A bug fix for the new property key.commandAndControlAreSame in Mac. Its

Updated quran-simple from tanzil "Simple" to "Simple Enhanced" version t
o ease reading.
Added the following new patterns to search-info.properties:
- Diacritics (search.pattern.diacr): a single regular expression
to match all diacritics of a language. Diacritics are inserted after a language
's letter range (with * regex operator) so that it matches possible texts with d
iacritics in the target search text.
- Letter range (search.pattern.letter): a single regular express
ion to match all letters of a language. Letters are basic alphabet of a language
, different from digits, marks and diacritics. Diacritics may be applied after e
ach letter in order to search for possible strings with diacritics in the text.
- Punctuation marks (search.pattern.punct): a single regular exp
ression to match all punctuation marks of a language. \p{Punct} will match almos
t all European punctuations, and we should add more to this for non-European lan
guages. This regex is used to insert before and after search keywords in order t
o work as a tokenizer (for example so that "salaam" search query matches text pa
rts like: "salaam.").
Added QueryParserFactory and a new property to config.properties: view.s
earch.advanced.queryParser. We use QueryParser by default as AnalyzingQueryParse
r doesn't recognize leading wildcards. User may change it himself. As a result o
f introducing new query parsers, we have now a new dependency: Added a new depen
dency: lucene-misc contrib project. This dependency is only used when parsers ot
her than QueryParser are used.
Now supports punctuation removal in sura name filtering (in Goto dialog)
.
We now set default audio player volume for search result player audio pl
ayer.
Search results are now filtered. As a result, KASRA+SHADDA order is reve
rsed in the final output to help Arabic newbie readers.
AudioCacheManagerTimerTask made inactive for now. It had no effect, as t
here was no offline caching for audio files.
Bug fixes:
Search result showed: "Page 1 of 0" when no result found. It not shows P
age 1 of 1.
Fixed exception of Goto Form when invalid sura:aya combination entered i
n sura:aya box.
In recitation .properties files: audio.offlineBismillam should be change
d to audio.offlineBismillah. Both these values are not recognized by Zekr for ba
ckward compatibility.
A bug in search caused Kasra+Shadda reverse ordering not to be recognize
d correctly.
Do not accept sura numbers below 1 in nav bar.
Version 1.0.0 - [12-08-10]
All 13px icons change to 16px size.
A number of icons changed to have a more harmonic icon set in Zekr.
Zoom/Unzoom will only work on Quran OR translation if applied in separat
e layout. Otherwise both Quran and translation text size is increased/decreased.
Zoom/Unzoom will not change sura name font size.
Prevent AudioPlayerForm to get out of view (some limitations are applied
to its location).
Show only language in translation list menu. Show the same info at multi
-translation configuration form.
Added a new property: trans.name.mode = english | localized. It then sho
ws either translation English name or its localized name wherever a translation
data is referenced (e.g. in multi-translation config form or in translation menu
).
A new exe launcher added: http://winrun4j.sourceforge.net. zekr.exe and
zekrc.exe parameters can be configured through related .ini files.
Bug fixes:
Save As button will now save search result if current view shows a searc
h result.
Changing between Block/Line-by-Line mode in Translation-only layout will
now work.
Save AudioPlayerForm new location as it closes. It now saves the new loc
ation before Zekr is closed (previously it wasn't saved when Zekr was closed and
AudioPlayerForm was in open state).
