Introduction
------------
Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It
features support for computer, literary and math braille, supports
contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages[1].
It plays an important role in an open source accessibility stack and
is used by screenreaders such as NVDA and Orca.
Changes in this release
-----------------------
This release contains support for many more languages than before
(Swedish, Kurdish, Ethiopian, Serbian). The search path for tables is now
a list of paths. Finally there is the usual assortment of bug fixes.
New features:
- Multiple table search path
The environment variable LOUIS_TABLEPATH can now contain a list of
paths (separated by commas) where liblouis should look for tables.
This allows the user to keep local tables.
- New --quiet option for lou_checktable
lou_checktable writes to stderr even in the case of success. This
can now be suppressed with the new option --quiet.
- New Swedish table
A new table for Swedish braille has been provided by Samuel Thibault.
