Lapis v1.5.0

This release introduces one major update along with a few quality-of-life improvements. The highlight is DefinitionPicture by @itokatsu. You can now add images to Lapis, enhancing your learning experience! Big thanks to @itokatsu for this.

Additional updates include:

• Refining the CSS to optimize the display of definitions and make better use of screen space.
• Revising the furigana handling to improve its visibility behavior and fix a persistent hover-related visual glitch.
• Cleaning up the CSS by removing unnecessary rules.
• Renaming Meiryo to Yu Gothic UI for improved readability and consistency.

• Open the Browse menu and select a Lapis card.
• Click Fields..., then Add, and name the new field DefinitionPicture exactly as shown.
• (Optional) To adjust its position, click Reposition, enter 7, and confirm.

What's Next?

No guarantees, but here’s what we’re planning:

• Improving compatibility with JL, as it is a very efficient tool for learning using visual novels.
• Integrate JPMN’s Kanji hover into Lapis, which we believe would significantly enhance both the quality of Lapis and the overall user experience.

Stay tuned!

Lapis v1.3.0

This update addresses a critical issue with dictionaries whose content isn't wrapped in a <span> tag, resolved by @itokatsu (#38). This bug had the potential to break cards depending on the dictionaries being used, so a big thank you to @itokatsu for the fix!

Lapis v1.2.0

New (intermediate) release before a more substantial rework (most notably of pitch handling). This new release fixes a few annoying bugs (most notably not having set the main language to Japanese) and refactors the code a tiny bit to be cleaner and easier to work with.
Huge thanks to @YonKuma and @itokatsu for their work on this release!
