+# Changelog
+
+## 1.0.0
+
+### Card data
+* Japanese, now fully covered:
+  * Hiragana and Katakana split into basic, diacritics (dakuten/handakuten), combinations (yōon) and "All"
+    sets, plus Extended Katakana for foreign sounds.  Romaji answers accept both Hepburn and Kunrei-shiki.
+  * Hiragana keyboard mappings added next to the existing Katakana keyboard mappings.
+  * Kanji for every JLPT level N5 through N1 (2,211 kanji), with readings in hiragana and English meanings.
+  * Vocabulary for every JLPT level N5 through N1 (7,800+ words).
+* Chinese: HSK 1–4 (1,193 words), answered in pinyin with tone marks, tone numbers or in English.
+  Fixes several wrong pinyin in the old HSK 1 set, and the language is now named "Chinese".
+* New languages: Arabic, Armenian, Bengali, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Korean, Persian, Punjabi,
+  Russian, Tamil, Thai, Ukrainian and Urdu, each with writing-system sets plus numbers, common words
+  and phrases.
+
+### Game
+* Two-level menu: pick a language first, then one of its card sets.  Menus are paginated (10 per page,
+  `n`/`p` to page, `b` to go back, `q` to quit) and show how many sets/cards each entry has.
+* Translate answers are case-insensitive, ignore extra whitespace and Unicode composition differences, and
+  treat a leading "to " as optional.
+* Numeric answers in card files (e.g. `1`) now match what is typed.
+* The score and timer reset for each game, and the same card is never shown twice in a row.
+* CTRL-C in a game returns to the card set menu; end of input exits cleanly.
+* New `--version` and `--help` command line flags.
+
+### Maintenance
+* Runs on modern Ruby: updated to HighLine 2/3 and i18n 1.x.
+* Card files are validated by the test suite (duplicate keys, empty answers, values YAML would misread).
+* GitHub Actions CI replaces Travis CI.

-This is a flash card game for guessing translations or keyboard learning.  Currently implemented is
-English Romaji to Japanese Hirigana/Katakana and typing exercises for each.  Game experience will be improved upon!
-
-Also if your interested in adding other flash cards for language learning, pull requests are welcome.  Please
-keep some sort of organized collection for sets of cards (for instance the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test
-has different levels to complete, N1 through N5, which would each count as a collection).
+A terminal flash card game for learning languages that use foreign scripts.  Every language comes with
+card sets for its writing system plus vocabulary, and each card set can be played in two modes:
+
+* **Translate**: a card is shown in the foreign script and you type its romanization, reading or English meaning.
+* **Typing**: you type the card itself, which is great practice for a foreign-language keyboard or IME.
+
+Japanese is covered from the kana all the way through JLPT N1: every hiragana and katakana (including
+combinations, extended katakana and IME keyboard mappings), all 2,211 JLPT N5–N1 kanji and more than 7,800
+JLPT N5–N1 vocabulary words.

 ## Installation
 
-Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
-
-```ruby
-gem 'language_cards'
-```
-
-And then execute:
-
-    $ bundle
-
-Or install it yourself as:
+Install it yourself as:
 
     $ gem install language_cards
+    
+Or try out the latest master by downloading it: [[master.zip](https://github.com/danielpclark/language_cards/archive/master.zip)]
 
 ## Usage
 
 After installing the gem you can run the executable `language_cards`.  If you clone the repo then use
 `bundle exec bin/language_cards`.
 
+    $ language_cards --help
+    usage: language_cards [options]
+        -l, --language  language (default: en)
+        -v, --version   print the version
+        -h, --help      print this help
+
+Pick a language, then a card set, by typing its number.  Long menus are split into pages of ten.
+
+| Key | Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| `1`, `2`, ... | Select the numbered language or card set (any number works, not just those on the current page) |
+| `n` / `p` | Next / previous page |
+| `b` | Back to the language menu |
+| `m` | Change game mode (Translate / Typing) |
+| `q` | Quit |
+| `CTRL-C` | Leave a game and return to the menu (quits from a menu) |
+
+Answers are forgiving: case and extra spaces don't matter, a leading "to " is optional for English verbs
+("to eat" and "eat" are both fine), and pinyin can be typed with tone marks (`nǐhǎo`) or tone numbers (`ni3hao3`).
+

+`cards` directory for existing examples to follow.  The first entry is a language name and it's okay if that
+already exists in another file; card sets from every file are merged under it.  The entries below that must be
+unique for that language (eg: you can't have two Hiragana sub entries on Japanese).  The next step in
 will have a mapping hash on how the language is being mapped in the form of key to value (eg "Hiragana" => "Romaji").
+Every other entry is a card: the key is what is shown and the value is the answer, or a list of accepted answers.
 Just follow the below outline for a working example.

+Languages are listed alphabetically and card sets in the order they are loaded, with files read in filename
+order (which is why the bundled files have numeric prefixes like `japanese-10-kanji-jlpt-n5.yml`).  Quote
+answers YAML would otherwise turn into something else, such as `'no'`, `'yes'`, `'on'` or numbers like `'1'`.
+
+You can add your own cards without touching the gem by putting YAML files in `~/.language_cards/cards/en/`.
+
+## Data sources
+
+* JLPT kanji and vocabulary level lists: [Jonathan Waller's JLPT Resources](http://www.tanos.co.uk/jlpt/) (CC BY).
+  JLPT levels have been unofficial since 2010, so these lists are a well established approximation.
+* Kanji readings were checked against [KANJIDIC](http://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/KANJIDIC_Project) (EDRDG).
+* Chinese word lists: the HSK 2.0 official vocabulary lists (levels 1–4).
+* Kana: [Wikibooks Japanese kana chart](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Japanese/Kana_chart).
