gvocab 0.2 “You must die! I alone am best!”
Here is the second release of gvocab, the vocabulary builder. New features:
- gvocab remembers session state after closing
- mistakes are crossed out, hints are bold
- faster start up time with a progress bar for reading the words xml file

It turned out that gconf recommends to not store anything except properties in the gconf database. gvocab stores session state in ~/.gnome2/gvocab/session.xml, similar to gedit, which stores its own session information in ~/.gnome2/gedit/sessions/gedit-*.
For the next release, I am planning improvement to the teaching algorithm. I think a word should not be marked as learned the first time the user guessed its meaning right. Repetition is essential to learning.
