Recent releases


Release Notes: This release has complete coverage of the "manuel de codage", undo/redo capabilities, color separation for PDF output, easy typing of user codes for signs, and many bugfixes.


Release Notes: This release has complete families for T, U, and V; only five more, and JSesh will have (almost) complete coverage of the manuel de codage. There are better menus for complex shadings (this does not change JSesh capabilities, but makes them easier to use). In some cases, you can not only copy data from JSesh, but also paste data to JSesh. This means you can type text in Mellel or OpenOffice, and paste back some hieroglyphic text into JSesh.


Release Notes: Lots of new hieroglyphs, the addition of PDF cut and paste, saving of document orientation, and lots of small fixes and improvements.


Release Notes: Support for SVG output was added. Minor bugs were fixed.


Release Notes: JSesh has now copy and paste facilities. It's now possible to copy text in JSesh and to paste it into applications such as OpenOffice or MS-Word on all supported platforms.
