Breaking changes
- 伐 to fell pinyin change: fa2 → fa1
This brings it inline with standard Taiwanese Mandarin pronunciation. It will be reset for all who have previously learnt it.
- removed 恍然 to suddenly realize
This was added last week mistakenly. It is replaced by 恍然大悟 to suddenly realize as that was what was originally intended to be added.
