+
+The behavior changes was made according to user opinions and
+suggestions, and gcin is a standalone input method platform so it and
+its components are not used anywhere else. On the other hand, this is
+not a "major" new version. The author always bumps up numbers when he
+has a new release. In this case, the numbers just bumped from 2.7.9 to
+2.8.0 because he never uses versions like 2.7.10. There is no "major"
+and "minor" releases for gcin, the number just bumps up and each
+release always includes bugfix and behavior adjustments to previous
+release.
+
+I'm very certain that only Taiwanese users will be affected since its
+behavior design is very focused on local user input habits and
+experience. Please help submit this version.
+
+Thanks,
