The pinned baseline was 66c0373d, committed 2026-01-16 and 2870 commits behind. Nothing was watching it: the dependabot template in this org declares only github-actions and gitsubmodule. Eight ports move. The pairing worth watching is spdlog 1.15.1 to 1.17.0 alongside fmt 11.0.2 to 12.2.0, since spdlog builds against fmt and a mismatched pair is a familiar way to break a build. webview2 also moves a long way, 1.0.2277.86 to 1.0.4191.47. CI builds Release here but runs no tests, so a green check means it compiles and nothing more. The WebView2 loader and the candidate window are the parts to exercise by hand before trusting this.
Metasequoia IME Server(水杉输入法 Server 端)
This is the server end of MetasequoiaImeTsf.
How to build
Prerequisites
- Visual Studio 2026
- CMake
- vcpkg
- Python3.10+
- Boost
Make sure vcpkg and Boost are installed by Scoop.
Build steps(For Dev)
First, build IME dictonary and prepare assets,
cd $env:LOCALAPPDATA
mkdir metasequoiaime
cd metasequoiaime
git clone --recursive https://github.com/metasequoiaime/MetasequoiaImeDict.git
cd .\MetasequoiaImeDict\makecikudb\xnheulpb\makedb\separated_jp_version
python .\create_db_and_table.py
python .\insert_data.py
python .\create_index_for_db.py
Copy-Item -Path .\out\msime.db -Destination $env:LOCALAPPDATA\metasequoiaime
Then, clone and build MetasequoiaImeServer,
git clone --recursive https://github.com/metasequoiaime/MetasequoiaImeServer.git
Prepare environment,
cd MetasequoiaImeServer
python .\scripts\prepare_env.py
Copy-Item -Path .\assets\tables\* -Destination $env:LOCALAPPDATA\metasequoiaime
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\metasequoiaime\config.toml" -Target ".\assets\config\config.toml"
e.g.
cd MetasequoiaImeServer
python .\scripts\prepare_env.py
Copy-Item -Path .\assets\tables\* -Destination $env:LOCALAPPDATA\metasequoiaime
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "C:\Users\sonnycalcr\AppData\Local\metasequoiaime\config.toml" -Target "C:\Users\sonnycalcr\EDisk\CppCodes\IMECodes\MetasequoiaImeServer\assets\config\config.toml"
Then, build and run,
.\scripts\lcompile.ps1
.\scripts\lrun.ps1
If you want to build and run in one step, run the following command,
.\scripts\llaunch.ps1
Watchdog
MetasequoiaImeWatchdog.exe is built next to the server. Starting the server directly also starts the watchdog,
which monitors the server from the same directory and restarts it after an unexpected exit. Repeated early crashes use
an exponential restart delay (up to 30 seconds) to avoid a restart storm.
The developer terminate shortcut stops both processes. The restart shortcut asks the watchdog to start a fresh server after the current process exits.
English prefix candidates
Place english.db next to msime.db in %LOCALAPPDATA%\metasequoiaime. Set
general.cn_en_mixed_input = true in config.toml to enable asynchronous English prefix candidates for Quanpin and
Shuangpin.
Developer Shortcuts
The server process includes a few built-in global shortcuts that are useful during development:
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + T- terminate
MetasequoiaImeServerimmediately
- terminate
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + R- restart
MetasequoiaImeServer
- restart
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + C- clear IME engine cache
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + 1toCtrl + Shift + Alt + 8- delete candidate
1to8from the current candidate window - this only works while the candidate window is visible
- delete candidate
