Hi,

I’ve just released Fantasdic 1.0-beta4.

Fantasdic is a DICT client (RFC 2229). This is a dictionary  
application which uses the network to retrieve definitions. For  
example, [nihongobenkyo.org](http://nihongobenkyo.org) is a server that provides Japanese  
dictionaries. Add it to the settings in Fantasdic and voilà, you can  
now look up Japanese words using Fantasdic. Another well-known server  
with tons of dictionaries is [dict.org](http://dict.org).

Fantasdic is primarily targetting the GNOME desktop but it should work  
with other platforms, including Windows. Fantasdic is Free Software.

What’s new with this release?

- Print support.

- New match dialog.

- New history dialog.

- Can choose fonts in the preferences.

- Zoom+, Zomm-, Zoom normal buttons.

- New “Zoom over character” dialog.

- Better handling of connections and cache.

- Better support of authentication.

- SOCKS 5 Proxy support.

- New application icon.

- Various bug fixes.

- Better MS Windows support and easy to install archive.

- French translation updated (Mathieu B.).

- Brazilian Portuguese translation updated (Alexandre Cavedon).

- Swedish translation updated (Daniel Nylander).

- Occitan translation updated partially (Yannig Marchegay).
