Rill input method runtime notices¶

The macOS frontend is implemented in Swift/AppKit using InputMethodKit and the librime C API. It does not contain Squirrel frontend code or require a Squirrel installation. Public default data is bundled as described below. Personal Rime schemas, dictionaries, Lua scripts, language models and user databases can optionally be imported on the user's machine; personal files are never part of this repository or app distribution.

Independent default data¶

scripts/input_method_data_manifest.json pins the following public assets and SHA-256 values. prepare_input_method_data.py checks every downloaded or cached asset before extracting data into the input method's signed Resources directory. Install-time deployment uses only those bundled files and the packaged runtime; it does not download data or read an installed Squirrel application.

The dictionary derives from Android Pinyin IME and is maintained by the Rime contributors. Its source is 1,266,216 bytes, pinned to SHA-256 e341598343a0f0f2035bb1aafc34a7f3bb7887deeecb3f60796262aaa2983e6b. Rill supplies a small full-pinyin schema with six candidates, punctuation and local user-frequency learning in Resources/InputMethodDefaultProfile/. The default does not contain Wanxiang dictionaries, Lua scripts or an LTS language model. Packaging never downloads the model. The runtime plugins remain available for optionally imported personal profiles; imported language models are copied locally, never downloaded or added to an app distribution.

Only architecture-independent OpenCC .json and .ocd2 data are extracted from the wheel; its Python code and native binaries are neither installed nor shipped. These standard files supplement imported profiles without overwriting user files. The original licenses are copied into Resources/Licenses/ alongside these notices.

Pinned runtime¶

The package uses the official librime 1.16.0 release, asset rime-a251145-macOS-universal.tar.bz2, SHA-256 e4c9a8767a456f2550f1242921b7656c6e6be088c89a921274bd5d4404f58b99. scripts/rime_runtime_manifest.json records the individual original file hashes. Packaging verifies the archive and all cached runtime files before copying and signing.

The archive's version-info.txt identifies these plugin source revisions:

The pinned Octagram revision uses GPL-3.0; a newer branch's different license must not be substituted for the license of the shipped binary. This integration is for the personal-use scope. Public distribution needs a compatible project license and the corresponding source obligations resolved before release.

Bundled dependency licenses¶

Verbatim licenses are kept in Resources/InputMethodLicenses/ and copied into RillInputMethod.app/Contents/Resources/Licenses/. The release build's dependency submodules are:

The upstream release includes no source revision for its separately downloaded Lua tree; the Lua copyright is retained from the bundled version. The checksum pin fixes the binary, including that dependency. The original Rime C headers in Sources/CRime/include/ retain their upstream notices.
