ibus-anthy

  • ibus-anthy is now the default Japanese IME(input method engine) to develop Japanese IME more effectively as the former was ibus-kkc. ibus-anthy depends on anthy-unicode and kasumi-unicode newly instead of anthy and kasumi.

  • kasumi-unicode is forked from kasumi and the private dictionaries are moved from $HOME/.anthy to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/anthy.
