The release is available for download at:

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. A companion project
liblouisutdml/liblouisxml[2] deals with formatting of braille.
Changes in this release
-----------------------
While initially planned as mainly a bug fix release this release
contains some notable new features: There is a new tool to trace which
rules have been used to perform a translation. Also along with other
new tables the long awaited table for UEB is finally here.
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* New tool to trace rule application
There is a new tool (lou_trace) which helps to trace which rules
have been used to perform a Braille translation. This is helpful
for writing Braille tables. See the documentation[3] for more
information.
