I hope everyone agreest that it is appropriate to discuss this new 
library on this list. The suggestion has been made that it should be 
liblouisxml 3.0.0. however, there are considerable changes in the 
interfaace and I suspect that liblouisxml will reach 3.0.0 on its own. 
It is now at 2.2.3. liblouisutdml does use Mercurial for its repository, 
since that is what is used in the BrailleBlaster project. The project 
page for it is http://code.google.cmo/p/liblouisutdml 

I am wondering how to add Bert's improvements to this library. Most of 
the modules should be fairly straightforward. However, transcriber.c has 
been changed greatly both by Bert and by the inclusion of UTDML. I don't 
think diff and patch can handle it.

I am making Java bindings forst forr liblouisutdml, sinnce they will be 
needed forr BrailleBlaster. I am not sure if liblouis bindings will be 
needed, so they will be handled later. I'll look into conditional 
statements in Makefiles so the C part of the Java bindings can be 
compiled as part of the library's own SO or dll.

I hope that further major immprovvements will be made on liblouisutdml, 
since it will have the new features, such as dividing books into 
volumes.
