[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#782452: libcangjie: Wrong input results

[Mathieu Bridon]

Source: libcangjie
Version: 1.2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

libcangjie 1.2 has some issues in its data, which leads to a poorer 
user experience.

Those are fixed in libcangjie 1.3, which is already in experimental.

Moving from 1.2 to 1.3 implies no API/ABI break. It only comes with
fixes to the Cangjie data set.

The full release notes are available at this link:
https://github.com/Cangjians/libcangjie/releases/tag/v1.3

Please update libcangjie to 1.3 in Jessie. The best thing would be in 
the initial release, else at a release point, and else in backports.

Having libcangjie up to date in Jessie would mean that Hong Kong 
people (who majoritarily input Chinese with a Cangjie input method) 
would have a great out-of-the box experience with Jessie.

As the upstream developer for libcangjie, I'm willing to work with you 
to review differences, help backport patches, or anything else which 
could help.
