v0.9.1 (August 7, 2006)

Wiktionary articles can now be edited from within the widget.
User can now change font size.
Added a pull-down menu to the back with the languages of the largest wiktionaries.
The links at the top of search results pages now work.
'Image:' pages work again.
Cache works again.
Searching for an article or clicking a link will no longer use a cached file. This eliminates the case sensitivity problem with certain searches (eg. "duluth, mn").
Now works when logged into an account (in Safari) with an alternative skin selected.
Updated the CSS from wikipedia.org.
Shift-spacebar scrolls up, in addition to the spacebar scrolling down.
Delete goes back in history, shift-delete goes forward.
Tab and Cmd-f select the search box.
The widget now shrinks to the size of the back before flipping.

v0.9 (August 24, 2005)

Green, red and grey (along with the good 'ol blue) UI color selections.
Now collapses horizontally as well as vertically.
Individual widget instances remember their respective language settings, sizes and colors upon restart, and clean up the preference file when they're closed.
When you scroll down in an article, then open a new article or go back in the history, the widget will remember where you were scrolled to, so if you return to the article it'll be where you left off.
Localization compatible.
French localization by Floréal Molina (and modified by Arnaud Boudou).
The 'cancel loading' behavior (click the progress indicator) has been fixed, I think. It was pretty flakey when you were 'back' in the history a couple articles, clicked a link, then cancelled the loading. A hover graphic has been added.
A couple scrolling-related bugfixes. Before, if you opened an article too short to fill the entire widget, and pressed the up/down arrows, or scrolled with the mousewheel, the content would jump from the top to the bottom of the viewing area. Also, if you scrolled to the bottom of a large article, then opened a small article, sometimes the small article would be displayed 'offscreen' until scrolling up.
The stretch animation has been smoothed out.
Other small bugfixes.
