The latest GitHub release of yomidevs/yomitan is 26.9.8.0. Yomitan is the successor project to Yomichan, a browser extension that pops up search results in an interactive popup while reading foreign-language text. However, the given record holds no changelog or release notes for 26.9.8.0, so what changed in this version cannot be confirmed from this record.
The README describes three main features. It shows search results in an interactive popup, supports built-in pronunciation audio and custom audio sources, and provides stroke-order diagrams for kanji. On top of that, it generates Anki flashcards automatically through AnkiConnect and supports several dictionary formats, including EPWING. Its role is to connect dictionary lookups and review cards inside the browser. It is distributed under the GPL-3.0 license and written in JavaScript, and the repository, created on March 4, 2023, has 2895 stars.
The point where the evidence stops is clear. With no record of what 26.9.8.0 fixed, the substantive change in this release cannot be judged. The momentum score is low at 1.1 out of 10, and the given record contains no comparison material or performance measurements. GPL-3.0 is a copyleft license that requires modified versions to be redistributed under the same terms, so if the plan is to bundle the extension into another app, the license conditions should be checked first. What can be confirmed right now is limited to its position as a popup dictionary for multilingual reading and the existence of the latest release 26.9.8.0. The size of the improvement in this version is hard to judge until the changes are checked directly.
