Basically we can create a new release whenever we feel like it. That
said it makes sense to do it when there are new features or tables or
when projects that include liblouis would like to do a release, i.e.
NVDA, Orca, the various distros, etc. We've just had a release so there
isn't a pressing need to make another one right away.

I guess if you like you can split the tables into chardefs and
exceptions. The separate chardefs table seems standard practice lately,
however the I would only keep the exception table if it is really big,
i.e. keep the exception inside the main table.

There was a thread on the mailing list a while ago about hyphenation
(//www.freelists.org/post/liblouis-liblouisxml/ISO88592-encoded-hyphenation-tables,2).
You might be able to reuse the Hungarian hyphenation table from TeX or
from LibreOffice. Bert Frees might be able to tell you more about it.

Hope that helps
