• add dynamic colors that follow Android 12+ system colors, by @BlackyHawky (Add dynamic colors #277)
• add internal logger
  • you can access app logs in about settings
• adjust views, so keyboard, emoji and clipboard views have the same height all the time (Keyboard Resizing: Emoji and Clipboard Unaffected #39)
• allow setting width scale for one-handed mode
• store enablement, side and scale for one-handed mode separately for portrait and landscape orientation
• fix issue with voice input icon, by @BlackyHawky (Voice input icon is missing. No way to bring it back. #251, Detect other input methods - Fixes #251 #325)
• fix workman layout, by @paxet (fix workman layout duplicated 'd' in 'c' position #341)
• further fixes (Rotating screen on emoji keyboard shows broken clipboard view #47, Weird spell checker problem #307 and some more)
• reset parser setting
  • note that old parser is broken in some cases
• next things, likely to be in v17
  • remove old keyboard parser
  • one-handed mode applies to emoji and clipboard views (Allow resizing emoji and clipboard views #337)
  • inline autofill by @arcarum (Inline autofill support #336)
  • make contents and order of toolbar customizable
  • maybe make popup keys more customizable (Adjustable popup key priority #314)
  • support for Android 4.4 might get dropped, minimum version will be 5.0

Great job, consider starting a release on F-droid, I've been using the keyboard without problems for a while

[EVOTk]

It's perfect ! Thx

[ramsaoji]

Key size became little small in this build, Can we have option to increase/decrease key sizes ?

[BlackyHawky]

Default key size is unchanged, so you'll need to provide details on what exactly changed.

@Helium314 There's no difference on your phone? Didn't you have to increase the keyboard height to get the same size as before?

In my case, the height was set to 81% and now it's 104%. To be clear: this is not a problem for me.

[Helium314]

Didn't change for me at all, screenshots match exactly.
Maybe it's some scaling issue

[russianspy1234]

Same issue here. I had previously set my height to 85% and it was perfect. With this update it got smaller. I went ahead and just set it back to 100% and it seems about right. I think maybe just a baseline got changed somewhere in which case it's probably not worth worrying about too much as people would only have to change it once in settings.

Does your clipboard content looks bigger? This seems to only affect the key size

The contents of the clipboard are indeed bigger, but that doesn't necessarily affect the user experience (that's just my opinion).

Simply the best keyboard. Nothing to complain. Thank you very much.

I don't use clipboard history so not sure
