Since last time

Polderland

  • inDesign spellers work except for custom dictionaries (FN)
    • Interface appears to be quite complex. Drop planned for next week.
  • bug 576 fixed, cmd line spellers dropped, other versions will follow today (incl. new indesign hyphenators)
  • prio list: 585 not repro. Windows / office / SP issue? ==> norwegian office 2007! - within VM on Mac
  • investigated series of bugs - no redrops planned for speller
  • hyphenator bug under investigation
  • installer bugs analyzed. re-drop planned with 2 changes: unique version ID incremented; dutch texts removed
  • unexpected suggestions -> investigation result:
    • substitute penalty for "a" - "á" is eáual to penalty for e.g. "a" - "x"
    • substitute penalty is normally higher than insertion/deletion penalty
    • consonant (un)doubling has a built-in low penalty
      • poss solutions: lower substitution penalty; add phonetic rules for e.g. "a" - "á" (twin)
  • very long very slow word: still investigating

Planned drops:

  • new version of installer (this week)
  • L+N spellers for indesign CS3 (next week)

Next drops:

  • hyphenator for InDesign
  • speller for InDesign (hopefully this week)

Open issues after these drops:

  • Windows installer issues
  • 576 – heajus vs heajos– (hyphens replaced with n-dash to please forrest)
    • heajos– should be accepted (with hyphen only) – it is
    • heajus should be accepted – it is
    • heajos should NOT be accepted – *** it IS accepted ==> in accordance with lex, not a bug
    • heajos–Oslo should be accepted – *** it is NOT accepted, but the exact same string is suggested, and when inserted (corrected) gets a red underline immediately ==> Bug. repaired, dropped
      • the bug is still seen in another case, see test results for bug 518

Divvun

  • more PLX conversion fixes
  • other bug fixes
  • final touches on suggestions etc.
  • investigated and reported on new and existing bugs

Remark on your "Oslo should accept only NeP flagged words in compounds"-example: the 'trick' with the NeP-marked words only works when the left parts have an A flag. - NB: all adjectives now treated as nouns -> no more A-flags used - NB: below: s/-/--/ s/^/-/

  • Guovdageaidnu-Guovdageaidnu (correct form)
  • GuovdageaidnuGuovdageaidnu (incorrect form, will trigger the double hyphen suggestion)
  • Guovdageaidnu--Guovdageaidnu (suggested, and wrongly accepted, see below for PLX entries leading to this)
