Breaking changes
- 漲 to rise pinyin change: zhang4 → zhang3
This brings the taught pronunciation in line with standard Taiwan mandarin proncunation. It will be reset for all that have previously learned it.
Major changes
- 知己 intimate meaning change: know oneself → intimate
- 知己 intimate alternate meanings:
to be intimate,be intimate,intimate friend,to know oneself,know oneself,know thyself,know yourself
This change aligns this word with its more contemporary usage. It will not be reset for those who have previously learned it, since “intimate” and “(someone) knowing yourself” have a similar enough underlying meaning. As indicated above, “know oneself” will continue to be accepted as an answer as a result.
