  • Microsoft has agreed to supply Office 2008 for the Mac, waiting for arrival (might take some time) (... tick ... tick ... tick ... tick ...) Will ask for status
  • conversion of InDesign/InCopy to windows still nears completion
  • bug 656: tested with 700K words user dictonary on Vista. slow, but works
  • drop of all code planned for this week - ready to be sent, will send it after the meeting

  • discussed contract-issues briefly, will continue this week.
  • (still) more bug fixes, lexical fine-tuning

Bug status

Solved/cancelled

Div Pld Description
636 xxx Hyphen in front of final consonant

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

Under investigation by Polderland

Div Pld Description
 549 xxx missing hyphens at word boundaries - noaiderumbbuid (accepted by speller) - solved in command-line tool, updates to Office and InDesign not yet delivered
645 xxx borgguhan-gihppagis gets the hyphen on the next line - SOLVED; update not delivered
656 xxx User word list "gets full" (as reported by users): repro only if millions of words are added, but related to memory. Word gets very slow if the list goes over 100 000 words or so. This is in Office 11 (2003). In Office 12 (2007) the user dictionary is managed entirely by Word. -> feedback from users on version, tests for office 2007 by Polderland.
