Comment 0 for bug 1452326

Ubuntu Trusty and Utopic are currently shipping some older versions of libcangjie, which have some known issues.

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

Trusty currently ships libcangjie 1.0, and Utopic has 1.1.

Moving from 1.0 to 1.3 implies no API/ABI break. (I even checked that with abidiff, just to be sure)

The full release notes are available at this link:

As one of the upstream developers for libcangjie, I'd prefer you just updated to the latest upstream release in both Trusty and Utopic, but I can understand this might not be the proper process in Ubuntu, so I'll be more than happy to work with you to review differences, help backport patches, or anything else which could help.

At the very least, user experience would be vastly improved by just applying the following patches to the Ubuntu packages, both in Trusty and Utopic:

These are all **data** fixes, no code changes. Getting this data fixed in Ubuntu packages means that users will get the results they are expecting when typing Chinese with IBus Cangjie.

These data fixes are important for Hong Kong users, who in majority use a Cangjie input method. Most of them tend to run the latest LTS, which is why I'd really like to have these fixes pushed all the way back to Trusty.
