Features & Content
〇 Thanks to help from user 雪・にゃー, we now have a set of grammar lists for Genki I, 3rd edition!
〇 Crowdsourced definition links to words in sentences (for example, noting which meaning of かける is used in a sentence) is now becoming available in the vocabulary dictionary and example lists!
〇 In Manage your Schedules (under Holidays), you can now 'roll back' your account up to 10 days if you suddenly miss a few days and need to get your reviews back in order.
〇 In Manage your Schedules (under Holidays), you can set up holidays (days of the week) that renshuu will avoid when scheduling future reviews!
〇 In Settings > Visuals, you can now choose Light, Dark, or System (so renshuu matches your device's settings)
Improvements
〇 In the stroke order 'drag and drop' style questions, it will now warn you if you have not moved all the pieces.
〇 New set of lists generated for N1, including a good chunk of kanjia that were not present in the old lists.
〇 On mobile, if you have marked a kanji reading as 'do not study', it is now easier to get back to the same panel to undo it.
〇 Better handling of single kanji character searches in vocabulary dictionary.
〇 For grammar model sentences, if the translation language is not English, green markup on the translation is not shown (as it is only keyed to the English).

〇 Lightened up some of the A/B/C letters for dark mode (in grammar expressions)
〇 Improved wording on the N4 lesson - Volitional Expanded

〇 Better popup handling of user ranks (Stats panel on dashboard) on mobile
〇 You can now like and give supporter points to community lists! Ways to search and filter on liked lists coming soon.

Fixes
〇 Some sentence audio was getting diced up on Safari/iOS devices.
〇 When viewing word notes on another user's profile, ordering them by a different value will now work correctly.
〇 When viewing 2+ pages of sentence examples for a word, multiple popups were opening.
〇 Sometimes, order of example sentences would change each time you viewed a list, making it hard to get new sentences in pages 2 and up.
