Stroke5 Keyboard

### 🎉 First Modern Release

This is the first production release of Stroke5 Keyboard since the original 2012 prototype. The app has been fully rebuilt to work on modern Android devices (Android 5 through Android 15).

### What's New

**New Launcher App**

- A proper Android app now appears in your launcher when the keyboard is installed

- Step-by-step setup guide walks you through enabling and selecting the keyboard

- Live status indicators show whether the keyboard is enabled and active

- Buttons to open Input Method Settings and the system keyboard picker directly

- About page and Privacy Policy accessible from the launcher

**Keyboard Fixes**

- Chinese candidate word bar (選字欄) now displays correctly on all screen sizes

- Tablet layout fixed: candidate bar now shows 2 rows (stroke indicator + word selector) instead of a single squeezed row

- Keyboard no longer enters fullscreen mode, which was hiding the candidate bar on modern Android

**Compatibility**

- Migrated from Eclipse ADT (2012) to Gradle build system

- Updated from API 10 to API 35 (Android 15)

- Fixed all deprecated APIs (AsyncTask, PreferenceActivity, getColor, getDrawable, etc.)

- Replaced ImageButton with ImageView to fix invisible icons on Material Design

- Supports AndroidX

### Privacy

Stroke5 Keyboard collects no data. All processing is on-device. No internet permission is requested.

### Known Limitations

- Traditional Chinese only (Simplified Chinese not supported in this release)

- Dictionary based on the original Stroke5 1.0 table (26,000+ characters)
