    1.0.2
==================================
* Fixed crash: With opened study window, closing the main window crashes the application.
* Minor improvements in the study window.


    1.0.1
==================================

* Bug fix: The study crashed on showing answer or next card, after dictionary was changed and saved.
* Bug fix: Can't save study data for example dictionaries.
    - Reason: the example dictionaries are installed at a system path, not writeable by usual user.
    - Fix: The example dictionaries are copied to the user application data directory on the first application launch.
        - Linux: ~/.config/freshmemory/dictionaries
        - Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\freshmemory\dictionaries
        - Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\freshmemory\dictionaries
        - This path is set as default for opening a dictionary.
* Filter *.fmd files in the Open dictionary dialog.
* Show full dictionary path in the dictionary tab tooltip.
* Show full file paths in error dialogs.
* Fix the "Study progress" tooltip in Spaced repetition window: unreadable yellow color on non-Ubuntu systems.
* Translations:
    - Added: Czech (by Pavel Fric), Finnish, Ukrainian.
    - Improved: Russian.
* Source project file:
    - Fix resource paths
    - Fix paths for Windows
    - Search "Known issue" in README file

Windows:
* Show file paths with native path separators ('\').

Linux:
* Packaging:
    - Debian package: added "Installed size" field (makes Ubuntu Software Center happy)


    1.0.0
==================================
* Introduced card packs:
   - A card pack defines what fields to use at the question and answer sides
   - Two packs are created by default in the new dictionaries: the first two fields are question and answer, and vice versa.
   - The fields and card packs are editable
* Because of the card packs, the dictionaries now contain records (plain data), which are automatically converted into cards according to the fields of the card pack
* Merging of dictionary records:
   - Records with the same question are merged into a single card. All answers are joined  with ';'.
   - Records with several questions (separated with ';') are broken down into several cards.
* Image paths can be specified relative to the dictionary path:
    - <img src="%/image.png">   # In the same directory as the dictionary
    - <img src="%%/image.png">   # In <Dictionary dir>/<Dictionary file name without extension>/
    - No need to specify absolute paths any more.
    - It is possible to safely move dictionary with its images to another place or computer.
* The tabs of the main view have their own close buttons. The tabs are movable.
* Card packs with their statistics (new/scheduled) are shown in the main view.
* Spaced repetition:
    - Improved graphical presentation of scheduled and remained cards
    - When all scheduled cards are reviewed, simple study statistics are shown
* Field styles:
   - Each record field has its style: font and color
   - Set of predefined field styles: Normal, Example, Pronunciation, Big, Color
   - Fonts and colors of the styles are adjustable
* Card background color can be changed
* Study settings
    - Different limits for card studying
    - Random or sequential card show
* The study file is saved at the same directory as the dictionary. The study file has the same file name as the dictionary, and the extension is .fms.

* Installation packages:
   - Windows: exe-installer
   - Linux: deb-package
