<li>[Added 2010-09-10] The default input language is now the user's preferred
language, if possible. This is implemented by consulting the
<code>userLanguage</code> field in the grammar info output by pgf-server.
<li>[Added 2010-10-27] Keyboard input and completion should now work much
more smoothly:
<ul>
<li>When you press space, the current word will be completed (if incomplete)
and a new magnet will be created. If there is more than one possible
completion, no magnet is created, but the common prefix of the possible
completions is added to the text box.
<li>Instead of asking the server for possible completions every time a new
letter is added to the curent word, minibar only ask for completions for
whole words and then filters the list locally when more letters are entered,
speeding things up when server responses are slow.
</ul>
<li>[Added 2010-10-27] Code restructuring:
<ul>
<li>The PGF server API has been moved to its own file:
<a href="pgf_online.js">pgf_online.js</a>. This
allows it to be reused in other applicaitons without importing the entire
minibar. It also allows minibar to be used with different server
interfaces. <a href="minibar.html">minibar.html</a> has been updated to
show how you use the new <a href="minibar.js">minibar.js</a> and
<a href="pgf_online.js">pgf_online.js</a>.
<li>The minibar code has been rewritten to avoid storing state information
in the document tree and accessing it by referring to named document
elements. The code now also avoids using string literals contaning
the names of top-level functions to specify event handlers for buttons
and menus. (The code is no longer introspective, so &alpha; conversion
will not change its meaning.)
</ul>
<li>[Added 2010-11-09] Some new documentation:
<ul>
<li><a href="gf-web-api-examples.html">gf-web-api-examples.html</a>:
examples illustrating the PGF server API provided by
<a href="pgf_online.js">pgf_online.js</a>.
<li><a href="example.html">example.html</a>: a minimal example of a web
page that uses <a href="pgf_online.js">pgf_online.js</a> to talk to the
PGF server.
</ul>
</ul>
