All releases of xlit


Release Notes: A bug that interfered with batch mode operation has been fixed. Tk 8.5+ under X11 is now detected and font sizes appropriately modified. The license is now GPL version 3.


Release Notes: Configuration files that load plugins now work properly with the GUI. Configuration files generated by xlit's Save Configuration command no longer trigger errors when read in batch mode. The popup for inserting accented letters has been improved, with more characters and upper case versions of the letters available.


Release Notes: Plugins are now permitted to write to stderr so as to emit error messages. A bug was fixed in which xlit attempted to popup an error alert when running in batch mode without the GUI. The number of parse errors encountered is now reported.


Release Notes: Plugins are now executed in a safe interpreter, which prevents them from writing files and performing other insecure operations.


Release Notes: This release has been extended to allow the transliteration to be performed either by an external command or by a plugin written in Tcl. You can now use Xlit to apply a sed or Perl script, or a specialized standalone transliterator such as BuckwalterToUnicode, only to regions within specified delimiters.


Release Notes: A couple of bugs affecting transliteration in regions delimited by unpaired single characters have been fixed.


Release Notes: This version works around a bug in the Microsoft Windows implementation of Tcl that triggers an error on startup.


Release Notes: An initialization file command has been added that allows the user to define keyboard shortcuts. Attempts to transliterate when no transliteration has been defined or when there is no text to transliterate are now trapped. The Help menu has been reorganized, and the menu buttons for the various popups made into toggles. Bugs in the Save Configuration command were fixed. Several cosmetic improvements have been made.


Release Notes: The popup for inserting characters by Unicode codepoint has been improved. The main improvement is better validation of the codepoint.


Release Notes: This version fixes bugs that interfered with the creation of the various search popups.
