The latest liblouis contains the new function lou_logEnd this is called to close the log file so it can be read by the rest of the program. It does not free anything in liblouis. I have also been working on capitalization and have changed the emphasis-handling code. This work is still in progress, so the code has not been thoroughly tested. It appears to work, but be on the alert. John -- John J.
