Changes

New features or enhancements

  • Updated quran-simple from tanzil "Simple" to "Simple Enhanced" version to 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 diacritics in the target search text.
    • Letter range (search.pattern.letter): a single regular expression 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 each letter in order to search for possible strings with diacritics in the text.
    • Punctuation marks (search.pattern.punct): a single regular expression to match all punctuation marks of a language. \p{Punct} will match almost all European punctuations, and we should add more to this for non-European languages. This regex is used to insert before and after search keywords in order to work as a tokenizer (for example so that "salaam" search query matches text parts like: "salaam.").
  • Added QueryParserFactory and a new property to config.properties: view.search.advanced.queryParser. We use QueryParser by default as AnalyzingQueryParser doesn't recognize leading wildcards. User may change it himself. As a result of introducing new query parsers, we have now a new dependency: Added a new dependency: lucene-misc contrib project. This dependency is only used when parsers other 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 player.
  • Search results are now filtered. As a result, KASRA+SHADDA order is reversed in the final output to help Arabic newbie readers.
  • AudioCacheManagerTimerTask made inactive for now. It had no effect, as there was no offline caching for audio files.

Bug fixes

  • Search result showed: "Page 1 of 0" when no result found. It not shows Page 1 of 1.
  • Fixed exception of Goto Form when invalid sura:aya combination entered in sura:aya box.
  • In recitation .properties files: audio.offlineBismillam should be changed to audio.offlineBismillah. Both these values are not recognized by Zekr for backward compatibility.
  • A bug in search caused Kasra+Shadda reverse ordering not to be recognized correctly.
  • Do not accept sura numbers below 1 in nav bar.
