Top level functions now accept match string as an additional optional argument. DRILL_CARD_TYPE is now inherited, i.e. if a drill entry does not specify a card type then the type will be sought further up the tree. cl.el is required on load as well as compilation. Use cl-flet instead of "obsolete" flet. Fixed some documentation typos. 2012-09-04T22:52:05+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2012-09-04T22:52:05+00:00 urn:sha1:e43199b988fe06148d44d7acf56b11ad83818686 2011-11-18T19:15:48+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2011-11-18T19:15:48+00:00 urn:sha1:b2f487417887a89889548e5fca7404babdeb7b5b - Fix to correctly reveal current entry when pausing a drill session in a narrowed buffer. (thanks to Milan Zamazal) - Support for verbal moods in addition to tenses. "Present indicative" tense renamed to "simple present". 2011-05-20T11:22:18+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2011-05-20T11:22:18+00:00 urn:sha1:b17bf579bd1ab9b3efc9c19a26e3efc59845fce3 - 'conjugate' card type can now show a hint (VERB_INFINITIVE_HINT) - New command: org-drill-again: run another drill session using leftover items from the last session, i.e. don't rescan the item collection. - If org-drill-resume is called and there is nothing to resume, offer to call org-drill-again - Automatically prompt to save all modified buffers when a drill session finishes (turn off with 'org-drill-save-buffers-after-drill-sessions-p') - Politely skip cards with unknown card types - When suspending a drill session, print a message describing the key that runs org-drill-resume (it it's bound to a key) - org-drill-merge-buffers: can now optionally be prevented from copying unmatched items from SRC into DEST - org-drill-merge-buffers: fixed a bug where it prompted for certain property values if they were not set in the item being processed - org-drill-merge-buffers: ensure that *all* items in DEST are stripped of their scheduling data 2011-05-10T04:52:23+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2011-05-10T04:52:23+00:00 urn:sha1:0aeff8516d30ce8b29865db8ce4c40803157d75d various clever tricks such as 'synching' the item collections of two people. At the beginning of a drill session, IDs are assigned automatically to all drill items that do not possess them. This is slow if you have a large collection, but it only happens once. - New command 'org-drill-merge-buffers'. Called from buffer A, and given buffer B, imports all the user-specific scheduling data from B into A, overwriting any such information in A. Matching items are identified by their ID. Any items in B that do not exist in A are copied to A. A scenario where this could be useful: * Tim decides to learn Swedish using an item collection (org file) made publically available by Jane. (Before publishing it Jane used 'org-drill-strip-all-data' to remove her personal scheduling data from the collection.) A few weeks later, Jane updates her collection, adding new items and revising some old ones. Tim downloads the new collection and imports his progress from his copy of the old collection, using 'org-drill-merge-buffers'. He can then discard his old copy. Any items HE added to HIS copy of the old collection will not be lost -- they will be appended to his copy of the new collection. - Instead of overdue items being reviewed in a completely random order, they are now ordered by the number of days overdue, so that the most overdue items are seen first. When two items are the same number of days overdue, then the order is random. - slightly adjusted how 'random noise' is applied to intervals, to give wider spread - we now use the port of the Common Lisp random number generator, in cl.el, instead of emacs' builtin RNG - Random number generator is now reseeded using system time at the beginning of each drill session. - Hints inside clozed text areas are now invisible during drill sessions if the clozed text is not itself being hidden, ie if your card contains [Moscow|Russian city] you will only see [Moscow] in the answer. - The '...' is now shown after the hint text rather than before it, i.e. '[Russian city...]'. You can override this by actually including '...' in the hint itself. - The minibuffer prompt now displays the card 'type' for testing purposes, as a single letter: N=new, Y=young, o=old, !=overdue, F=failed - New card type: hide2cloze (hides exactly 2 randomly chosen areas of clozed text) 2011-04-30T04:47:42+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2011-04-30T04:47:42+00:00 urn:sha1:c27d9035ef5ba5120157649cbfc8e0587ab4a08c - 'conjugate': retrieves properties VERB_INFINITIVE and VERB_TRANSLATION from parent item, and uses its own property VERB_TENSE to prompt the student 'Translate the verb INFINITIVE and conjugate for the TENSE tense' or 'Give the verb meaning TRANSLATION and conjugate for the TENSE tense' - 'translate_number': using third party library spell-number.el, prompt the student to translate a random number to or from a non-English language (the library can handle numerous languages) - examples of both in spanish.org - org-drill-card-type-alist can now take a second function name, for controlling how the ANSWER is displayed - items can have weights (DRILL_CARD_WEIGHT). The interval is divided by the weight when scheduling, so eg an item with a weight of 2.0 will be tested twice as often as a normal item. - New command: org-drill-tree. Same as org-drill using 'tree' argument. - New command: org-drill-strip-data: deletes all scheduling data from every item in scope. Intended for use if you wish to share your item library with someone else. - Fixed bug in simple8 algorithm where items failed on their first review were not having intervals reset - Ensure all markers are freed before starting a new drill session. 2011-03-27T03:55:46+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2011-03-27T03:55:46+00:00 urn:sha1:5d4694dc3b746cf9d0a97856a47027cb1e88d1c9 - Fix bug where if a subheading was more than 1 level deeper than the tested item, and had no parent heading other than the item's heading, it would not be hidden during testing. 2010-09-17T00:13:40+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2010-09-17T00:13:40+00:00 urn:sha1:0e2040ba7e03aa23dc76eecc5b1df1f3d14be0b3 * Multicloze card example added in 'spanish.org'. 2010-09-02T07:04:54+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2010-09-02T07:04:54+00:00 urn:sha1:c1af8a3285ccedae879b166acc15d20a24ab9749 Allow tag-editing when reviewing items. Any linked image files are displayed inline during review. Don't hide org links [[...][...]] when hiding cloze text, azs they may contain inline images which we want to keep visible. Close property drawers during review. Provide visual feedback (progress bar in minibuffer) when scanning items in preparation for a drill session. 2010-08-26T09:20:48+00:00 eeeickythump devnull@localhost 2010-08-26T09:20:48+00:00 urn:sha1:9ea35e11b60b49efade0ba1baf2dcd9be10a3779 Add option 'org-drill-spaced-repetition-algorithm': choose either SM2 or SM5 algorithm. Add option 'org-drill-add-random-noise-to-intervals-p': randomly vary repetition intervals slightly, to avoid clumping. Fixed a bug in org-learn's SM5 algorithm (intervals much too long). Use overlays to display cloze deletions as '[...]' during reviews. Cloze text can contain hints, which will visible during review. Add option 'org-drill-failure-quality': customise which quality is regarded as unambiguous failure (1 or 2). Expanded documentation, and added section on 'incremental reading', with example setup.
