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,

You-Cheng Hsieh
