The latest version is at https://github.com/rime/rime-cantonese/releases/tag/2023.02.08.

Again, for anyone who needs it, this is a less confusing place than Github for getting the Jyutping version of RIME, with helpful instructions - https://jyutping.net/

The Github page is here if you'd prefer to look at that: https://github.com/rime/rime-cantonese It has more information and links some patch files for other romanization schemes (Yale, etc.) if you'd prefer those instead.

You could try uninstalling any old Squirrel stuff you have, and installing the Cantonese Squirrel Rime directly: https://github.com/rime/rime-cantonese/releases

If you want an input method that supports inputting tones as well, I would suggest using RIME https://rime.im/ with rime-cantonese https://github.com/rime/rime-cantonese - but that is an installable input method, not a webpage.

https://github.com/rime/rime-cantonese is the way to go in 2021

If you are looking for an exhaustive list of mapping of Chinese characters and their jyutping, you could check this file: https://github.com/rime/rime-cantonese/blob/master/jyut6ping3.dict.yaml

Happy to help. You can find the Python code here, though you'll need another file (renamed to chengyu.json), which is the database of idioms. I just pulled an open-source one off this repository. All you essentially do is break down every chengyu into its component hanzi, and check to see if those are in the HSK 1 + 2 wordlist.
