Since last time

Polderland

  • windows Office proofing tools ready, except for installer
  • NSIS installer solution alpha sent
    • waiting for comments and installation texts
  • InDesign CS4: have SDKs for MacIntosh and Windows
    • working on both versions
      • number of API changes from CS3, unfortunately not upwards compatible:
      • changes in paths+directories, changes in function parameters.
      • But will be finished fairly soon, I guess.

Divvun

  • M&S - waiting for a response from Polderland
  • South Sámi offer: actually found the letters from Polderland regaring how you treat your employees and pay your taxes - last Friday! The papers are ok, I checked with our expert on public tenders today. Will prepare and sign the contract ASAP
  • NSIS installer received, unfortunately no time to look at it yet
  • work is progressing on South Sámi, we're compiled our first speller, not yet tested. The main point is only to motivate our linguists - see the result of the work so far (and also display all errors and all the remaining work;)

Bug status

Solved/cancelled

Div Pld Description
603 xxx suffix is accepted in the middle of a word: as per design
613 xxx speller does not accept 'Ga' tagged word as 2nd part
679 xxx Discretionary/soft hyphen not respected - repaired, repaired code to be dropped

To be solved/investigated by Divvun

Div Pld Description
621 xxx other hyphenator bugs. PB: not as much incorrect as well as weird-looking.
630 xxx Word (prefix) with hyphen is rejected - and suggested
652 xxx UPPERCASE-typos only get acronym-suggestions: VARI -> no sugg, vARI -> VÁRI as sugg; consequence of the sugg. mechanism, unresolvable
581 xxx consonant doubling => actual problem is suggestions with hyphens (split compound type); these can be blocked as suggestions, and thus be removed (they would still be recognised, though)
670 xxx REGRESSION: hard hyphen replaced with soft, see latest test results - since this was fixed earlier, and the hyphenation binary has not changed since then, we should investigate this first to see if we produce illegal PLX entries.

Under investigation by Polderland

Div Pld Description
581 xxx consonant doubling
595 xxx problem with prefix containing hyphens
670 xxx Hard hyphen replaced by soft hyphen. Regression? Check for v. 1.1

Priority list

  1. installers for InDesign (CS3 Mac + Win) and scripts to build them, lib files
  2. CS4 debug SDK version => CS4 version
  3. nullsoft installer
  4. South Sami Windows components

Next meeting

Next meeting (Tue 2.6.) at 10.00 Dutch/Norwegian time.
