Change list here. Up for GPlay beta testers now and on our website here, up for everyone probably on Tuesday (as nobody wants to spend their weekend watching to see if there's a new bug we have to hurry into work and patch).

When I started Pleco yesterday, it stopped immediately (report sent). I do not know why, but it could be the same bug I had reported in 3.2.7 beta 2:

"A very old one: write a 2 character word in the search field of organise cards, search, go back, delete one of the 2 characters, tap hold that character and copy it. The dictionary opens. Now the screen of Organise Cards is empty.

It happened every day, but I never knew when and how. The procedure above should be the shortest way to get there."

This time I have not yet found out when and how it happens and cannot reproduce it, but it did happen. When it has happened, every copy of characters within Pleco transfers them to the dictionary (which is intended for copies from outside Pleco). Actually that is not a problem for me, but maybe for Pleco.

Thanks - from the logs this actually appears to have been a (thankfully uncommon) filesystem glitch; we'll make sure to check for + avoid crashing on it in our next update.

Any chance of getting manual exposure contol for the ocr camera? I think I asked about this before but I'm hoping the situation has changed. I recall reading that android 5 gave developers more control of the camera. Anyway it would be a big help for reading characters from a TV screen. Most of the time they show up as white blobs.

Once Android 5 is more widespread we certainly should be able to do that, yes - just tough to justify much Android-5-specific coding now. (we wouldn't have adopted a Material UI so quickly either if it weren't for Google heavily pushing it on older versions of Android too)

Been having a bit of trouble with the back button on the top left corner of the screen. I cant say what causes it but it might be related to the extra short cuts for OCR and flashcards I have on the home screen. Anyway sometimes it doesn't take me anywhere when I'm in the OCR screen and sometimes after using it in the flash cards I cant get back to the flash cards screen from the dictionary when I tap on new test or continue test in the menu. I can always get around it by hitting the system back button a few times so it's not a big deal but probably something you'd want to fix.

Hmm... we'll investigate, my best guess is actually that it's showing the back button when it ought to be showing the menu button instead.
