# Typeshala v1.0.1 — Release notes **Version**: 1.0.1 **Date**: 2026-10-01 **Systems**: Windows, macOS, Linux (same bundle set as v1.0) ## What is new - Rare Nepali letters now score as one letter each. `ट्ट`, `द्व`, `हृ`, `रू`, `ह्र` and nine more rare conjuncts used to be counted as two to four letters when scored. They now count once, the same way every other letter in the layout does. The keys you press are unchanged, so nothing about how you type them has changed. - All Level 1 Traditional gained three tokens built around `ट्ट`, `द्व`, and `हृ`, each repeated thirty times, so a three key spelling gets enough practice. Note that this screen is no longer purely cross row key practice. - Guidance steps through every key of a three key letter, for example `6` then `\` then `6` for `ट्ट`, with the remaining keys shown as a hint. ## Fixed - Fixed a problem where typing a rare conjunct such as `ट्ट` perfectly still produced a wrong speed score, because the halant between the two consonants was counted as a letter of its own. ## Notes - **Speed scores on practice containing these letters are lower than in v1.0.** This is the fix working, not a new problem: typing one rare letter perfectly used to be credited for three letters, which inflated the score. Correcting it necessarily lowers it. - Stored scores are not recalculated, so a progress trend crossing this release shows a step down. That step is the correction, not lost progress. Nothing needs to be migrated or retyped. - Eight keys that begin a rare letter (`ङ`, `ट`, `ठ`, `ड`, `द`, `ह`, `र`, and the half form `ह्`) now wait one keystroke to see whether a rare letter follows. Normal typing is unaffected, because the letter appears as soon as you press the key. If you mistype one of those letters and then press space, the pending keys are dropped and the space counts as a miss. - Stored shapes stay at schema version 1; no migration in this release. - No accounts, no cloud sync, no network calls.
