… I’m confused about when synonyms became a feature.
The undated article about finding synonyms (no date visible within the article) is supposedly dated 2021-09-22 when listed at e.g. https://languagetool.org/insights/category/product-updates/ however it’s linked from an earlier blog post that was written in August 2021 and is supposedly dated 2021-09-08 (not August) when listed at e.g. https://languagetool.org/insights/.
From issues such as https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/4113 (2021-01-08) and https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/4599 it appears that the feature arrived much earlier in 2021, I might guess that it arrived in 2020.
The date might become known if/when gaps in release notes are filled:
I suspect that my discovery of the feature was months late through a combination of:
- emptiness of some release notes
- a feature constraint that’s not obvious from within the extension.
