        <ul>
          <li>Tankan now includes the full Kanjidic2, with over 13000 kanji;
          twice the previous dictionary size.</li>
          <li>All 2136 jōyō kanji are now available; previously four were
          missing.</li>
          <li>Number of questions in a test can now be specified
          as a fraction such as <code>1/8</code> including
          <code>1/1</code> denoting everything. Also a percentage
          such as <code>25%</code>.</li>
          <li>New special deck: <strong>Lapsed Kanji</strong>. Retrieves
          kanji for which any of the five most recent answers were wrong.
          Useful for obtaining a solid review of lapses, which would
          disappear to quickly from Problem Kanji deck.</li>
          <li>Awesome new <strong>Second Chance</strong> feature. Now
          you can get a 100% score even if you make a few typos by
          receiving a chance to fix mistaken answers before the test graded
          and entered into your response history.</li>
          <li>Some junk has been cleaned up from some english meanings.</li>
          <li>The Test Preview/Results table rows now shown with alternating
          background color to make it easier to match dictionary entries
          to the kanji, in a wide screen view.</li>
