I am not sure whether I am inspecting the right files now. Yesterday, I factory reset my Touch and updated via desktop to 2.5.0. I selected all offered dictionaries and syncronized. Strangely, among the 19 dictionaries only two worked (Italian definition dictionary and Spanish definition dictionary; though I know that the English dictionary works for ShellShock). In the database all entries in the dictionary table looked ok to me. I manually installed 2.4.0 over 2.5.0 (note: without removing the new dictionaries), and everything is working again.
I just opened some of the dictionaries and see that the filestamp of the html files is rather old (07.08.2012 in dicthtml.zip and dicthtml-de.zip; the words files are even older than that). Is this the same with you or are my files somehow messed up?

Yesterday I already had a look at the new dictionaries. I was looking whether there are still some not encrypted. The Japanese dictionary was still plain text, but since it did not work on my Touch anyway, I thought there is not much to be learned from it about a new format or so (and I did not see anything new).
I am a little clueless right now.

German dictionary is still plain text (provided I am really looking at the new files; actually the html files are the same as in the "old" dictionary). Is this dictionary working under 2.5.0 on anyone's device?
