SLJFAQ News

News page revived

I've revived this news page. I want to report on a lot of small changes which don't affect users very much, and sending an email for each one to the discussion group means a lot of people have to read an email about something which doesn't affect them, so I'm going to put the updates here from now on.

Kanji redirect changed

The kanji redirect system has changed internally. This should not affect users.

The system is now cross-compiled on the local computer and then uploaded as a binary rather than being compiled on the server computer, and also has its support files embedded, rather than reading them from the server's file system.

Four-corner search via minidic removed

The four-corner search has been going via https://kanji.sljfaq.org/ppkanji/ for some time now, but minidic-1.cgi was still serving four-corner data. I don't think anyone was using it, but removing it meant a small amount of work which I've now got around to, and I've now completely removed that facility. This should not affect users at all.
