As the principal maintainer of liblouis and liblouisxml I really
appreciate the patches from James Teh and the fact that they were sent
to the list. If others have patches, I would appreciate it if they
would do the same. It seems that some patches may have been made to the
Google site without notice to anyone. I'm thinking of moving to a
different hosting provider. The system used by NVDA sems to be very good
at allowing patches and keeping everyone informed of them and of issues
that need attention. I hope James Teh will help me get acquainted with
the NVDA system.
I'll be integrating the last patch from James into the latest liblouis.
Caution is needed because the place that should be patched is not
necessarily what it seems to be. For example, in the case of the
repeated opcode removing things from a spot indicated by the cursor
position when the compbrlAtCursor bit is set, the appropriate patch is
to not execute repeated, since it is inappropriate in this case. The
patch goes in the for_selectRule function. I'll have a new release of
liblouis and liblouisxml shortly.
I have removed the link to the Google site from the
www.jjb-software.com downloads page, because it is out of date.
www.jjb-software.com is the official home page for both liblouis and
liblouisxml. The new site will contain a link to it.
I have also removed the link to the Tiger driver for Linux. Current
Tigers have a firmware upgrade which make this driver, which was written
several yeard ago, obsolete. Hopefully it can be rewritten someday.
Likewise, I have removed the link to a Windows binary for libxml2, which
is needed for compiling liblouisxml. It is best to obtain the latest
binary from the libxml2 site.
