After 15 years, DDB Access needed to be re-written, in order to facilitate maintenance and further improvements. The new version - still a "beta" (test) version - offers a more modern user interface. The same version is intended to be published on both the present website and on Microsoft Store.
Both versions will receive the same updates, but the version here can be (re)installed later on the same machine or another one even if publication is discontinued. "SL" stands for "Second Life".
For frequent users, it is strongly recommended to:
- Prefer the SL version available below.
- Backup the installer.
- Compact mode: can show in full screen or side by side with the original text.
- Access to Japan mirror restored.
- Dictionaries updated.
