RELEASE NOTES
What is new in BSKorean
Every release, improvement, and support change is recorded here.
ANDROID
Version 1.1.0-rc99
RC99 waits for the selected-language catalog before learning, prevents stale translations from entering saved-word sessions, preserves level and history without forcing a diagnostic, localizes core learning and feedback flows, keeps Next anchored at the bottom, bounds typed answers, and withholds vocabulary estimates until enough distinct-word evidence exists. Google sign-in is now registered for the published package and signing certificate and passed real account login, online learning sync, direct Home routing, and session restoration after relaunch.

ANDROID · 2026-07-16
v1.1.0-rc98
Login now opens Home after successful sign-in. The optional TOPIK diagnostic remains available from language and level settings.
ANDROID · 2026-07-15
v1.1.0-rc97
Improves language-change onboarding for non-English learners. The first screen now exposes the language selector in English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, and Japanese; language choices are shown in their own language; core home, study, card, quiz, and feedback actions follow the selected helper language. Word learning data continues to come from the live locale-specific Word DB API. This build starts a new BSKorean app signing key lineage, so existing rc96 installs may need to uninstall the old app before installing rc97.
ANDROID · 2026-07-15
v1.1.0-rc96
Introduces the deterministic bsk-learning-v2 learning engine with event-based word progress, unified quiz and review scheduling, distinct-word vocabulary estimates, durable offline sync, and live word-catalog updates. Improves answer-choice cards, adds a bottom Next action, and refreshes the language, TOPIK start, and Google sign-in action rows while preserving the rc95 visual style.
