* Mon Jan 16 2023 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- Update to version 3.24.0:
+ This release contains major updates to Hungarian, UEB, and
Chinese bopomofo braille. Danish has been completely reworked
and there is now support for the Danish braille standard 2022.
There are also some new tables so that liblouis can now
generate Georgian computer braille, Swahili (Kenya) and
Chichewa (Malawi). Aside from that there is the usual
assortment of code cleanups and bug fixes.
+ For a detailed list of all the changes refer to
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/milestone/34?closed=1
+ Braille table improvements:
- New grade 1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 2 tables for Swahili
(Kenya) and grade 1 table for Chichewa (Malawi).
- Improvements to Hungarian.
- Update braille patterns of some Chinese characters and
phrases in the Chinese bopomofo braille table
- Add experimental Georgian computer braille table
- Updated the Danish tables to the new 2022 Danish braille
standard
- Limited contraction level (grade 2l or 1.5) is no longer part
of the Danish braille standard 2022.
- There is no longer any need for "literary" tables. In Danish
braille, capital letters are now always indicated, and steps
have been taken in the standard to ensure better
back-translation.
- As requested by The Danish Braille Committee, the tables for
the 1993 standard will be kept as an option for at least a
year. All the 1993 tables have been renamed to include
"_1993" in the filename, so the new tables will be used as
default.
- Improvements to UEB.
- Add new sign for German sharp S (ICEB July 2022)
- Fix a couple of acronyms which require grade 1 indicator
(LLB, LLP)
- Fix placement of numeral sign in letters comma digits
- Review rules for "under" and "there" contractions
* Sat Oct 01 2022 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- Update to version 3.23.0:
+ Fix a problem in the parsing of faulty unbalanced context
expressions.
+ Fix a buffer overflow problem when ~output.length~ is larger
than ~input.length~.
+ Fix an endless loop in the handling of computer braille.
+ Braille table improvements:
- Remove computer braille from Japanese Kantenji as it is not
part of the standard.
- Bring Swedish tables up to date with the latest standard
published by Punktskriftsnämnden (the Swedish Braille
Authority) in 2009. The table for uncontracted braille was
replaced and new tables for (partially and fully) contracted
braille have been added.
- Improvements to Hungarian (added more exceptions) and
migration to the ~nonumsign~ opcode.
- Fixed a bug in the Ukrainian table that led to wrong
translation of some uppercase letters.
- Augment the UEB grade 2 tables to resolve an ambiguity
between lower groupsigns and punctuation at the beginning of
words by placing a letter sign at the front of punctuation.
This resolves an ambiguity between, for example, "discount"
and ".count".
- Add a new table for /Chinese Common Braille Scheme/ which is
a type of braille used for spelling Mandarin Chinese. It is a
variant of the /Chinese Current Braille System/ but has more
perfect marking rules and produces less ambiguity than the
latter. For more information see the comments in
~zhcn-cbs.ctb~.
- Updates to the Chinese bopomofo braille table:
. Update braille patterns of some Chinese characters and
phrases
. Add braille patterns for various Greek symbols
. Add "Math rules" section and the mixed number rule
. Add braille patterns for ☐ (⣏⣀⣹), ☑ (⣏⣿⣹), and ☒ (⣏⣭⣹)
- New table for Kinyarwanda braille
- New table for Luganda braille
- Improvements to the Russian contracted braille table:
. Now prefixes "из" and "без" are correctly contracted
before hard sign (ъ).
. Fixed a contraction for word "кое-где", now it is
contracted according to rules.
. Other minor fixes and improvements.
* Fri Jun 24 2022 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Update to version 3.22.0:
+ This is a major release. On the Braille tables side there is a
new table for German grade 2 with capitalization and there are
updates to the Dutch, German Hungarian, Punjabi, Russian, UK
Braille Computer Notation and Slovak tables.
+ A new opcode to indicate the end of a number where the number
doesn't end at a space character
+ A lot of work was put into checking for and fixing memory
problems.
- Drop info file handling in post/postun of doc package: inf files
are handled by file triggers nowadays.
- Also remove the install_info_prereq prereq (which was, for that
matter, even on the wrong package).
- Drop liblouis-CVE-2022-26981.patch and
liblouis-CVE-2022-31783.patch: fixed upstream.
* Thu Jun 02 2022 Michael Gorse <mgorse@suse.com>

for list of bugfixes
* Mon Jan 31 2022 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 3.20.0:
* This is a major release. Not only in terms of table additions and
updates but also in the way the tables are written. Bert has replaced the
~uplow~ opcode with a more generalized ~base~ opcode. This clears
up the path for a more generalized handling of emphasis and uppercase
characters. In the course of this simplification some bugs with
computer braille were discovered and fixed.
* For this release Bert Frees has been hard at work to clean up the code
base. He fixed a few bugs one of which was causing memory corruption.
Others have contributed corrections to braille tables or even provided
new tables. For example there are now tables for Tshivenda and for
Russian contracted braille.
* This release brings support for many new languages: There is support
for six new languages from South Africa, Northern Kurdish, Kazakh,
Tatar, Yakut, Bulgarian literary braille and finally Khmer, Burmese
and Vietnamese. Aside from that there are also major improvements to
Afrikaans, Russian literary braille, Uzbek and Hebrew Computer
Braille.
* This release stands in the tradition of small incremental improvements
that make it another fine and solid release. Andrey Yakuboy put in a
lot of work to improve Russian literary and computer braille. He also
provided a new table for Belarusian uncontracted and computer braille.
Aside from that there are numerous improvements in Braille tables such
as French, Polish and Urdu. The documentation has been improved as has
the table meta marking the tables whether they are geared towards
forward or backwards translation. I'd like to thank everybody for
helping to bring liblouis forward.
* Thu Feb 18 2021 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
