Limitations

• Apply *.reg.

Changelog

14.06.2010

• Supports dead keys for some languages. Make sure you have “{0x7A 0x7A 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xff} // DKeys - 0x7A” in IME_Engine’s kmap
• Support contact’s name prediction (it can be buggy, beware). Disabled by default, but you can enable it in app.reg.
