What's New

Here are some of the new features we have added to Keyman 14.0 for Windows:

We renamed the program from Keyman Desktop to Keyman for Windows. Now that Keyman runs on so many platforms, it didn't make sense for us to use a special, different name for Keyman on Windows.
Keyman keyboards are no longer hidden from the Windows language picker when you exit Keyman. (This helps maintain input method language tag stability.)
Simpler and Smoother Keyboard Search (#3326)
Localizable user interface through translate.keyman.com
Added user interface for configuring all Keyman system-level options (#3733)
Refreshed user interface no longer depends on Internet Explorer (#1720); now uses Chromium to host all web-based user interface (e.g. Keyman Configuration)
Smoother and more reliable installation of keyboard languages (#3509)
Choose associated language when keyboard is installed (#3524)
Improved BCP 47 tag support (#3529)
Much improved initial download and installation experience including bundled keyboards (#3304)
Keyman Configuration changes now apply instantly (#3753)
Improved user experience when many keyboards are installed (#3626, #3627)
Improved error reporting with Sentry.io, so we can learn about and fix bugs more quickly

Breaking Changes

Keyman Engine no longer supports the keyboard usage page (usage.htm). This functionality reduction arises because it is not safe to host a web page within the Keyman Toolbox, which runs at a higher level of privilege. We are looking for alternatives to restore similar functionality in a future update.
