liblouis-2.2.0.tar.gz and liblouisutdml-1.6.0.tar.gz are now on the 
downloads page of http://www.abilitiessoft.com

Liblouis contains all the latest updates to svn and also some new 
functions, so that the program can set the path on which liblouis and 
liblouisutdml look for tables and files. These are needed in 
BrailleBlaster. They make the libraries completely relocatable, even on 
Linux. Look in the documentation in the tarball for lou_setDataPath and 
lou_getDataPath The documentation does need to be put in the right 
format. I'm not sure I can do this.

Liblouisutdml is now in a much more advanced state of development. The 
program file2brl will work just as xml2brl does. The documentation 
hasn't been updated because specifications have been changing rapidly. 
The interface is quite different from that of liblouisxml. To see how to 
use liblouisutdml look at the header file liblouisutdml.h There are Java 
bindings, but I have to figure out how to get autotools to include them 
in the tarball. They are in the Mercurial repository, which you can 
reach via a link on the Abilitiessoft home page.

liblouisxml will be undisturbed except for bug fixes.

John
