04 January 2012 - XLingPaper
The main highlights are:
Improved the default PDF output: added a way to hyphenate based on the language of the document. See section 11.39 “Get the default PDF output to hyphenate for a non-English language” in the User Documentation. Note that this requires you to use the XeLaTeX Update (see http://www.xlingpaper.org/?page_id=4#XeLaTeXUpgrade).
Added referencedInterlinearTexts and referencedInterlinearText elements. The latter refers to a file containing an interlinear-text element so one... read more
06 September 2011 - XLingPaper
The main highlights are:
Added a way to quickly increase the size of tables, whether that table was newly added or already exists. See section 6.1.1 “Increase Table Size” in the User Documentation.
Made a way to have interlinears automatically wrap in the default PDF output. See section 5.3 “Interlinear examples” in the User Documentation.
Improved the default PDF output: if a table has no column spans and no row spans, then the width attribute of a cell in the first row will be used for all... read more

18 April 2011 - XLingPaper
On March 23, 2011 version 2.15.0 of XLingPaper was released. It works with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The main highlights are:
Added a web page output that pays attention to an associated publisher style sheet (as much as it can; e.g. there are no page headers or footers since web pages do not have multiple pages).
Added a command to enter two consecutive references to examples, sections, figures, numbered tables, interlinear text items, or appendices. This... read more

Custom Fields, with auto-type ahead.
You can now add new Genres.
In 0.1, we called a recording and its associated files a Session. In 0.3, we call this an Event. A Session/Event includes recordings which are comments/annotations on the original. The problem with the Session label was that people doing Basic Oral Language Documentation refer to each recording (original, careful speech, translation) as... read more

We’re pleased to announce the beginning of the “preview” phase of SayMore. To get it, head over to the Downloads page. Expect to see new versions coming out regularly from now on.

15 June 2010 - WeSay
Collaboration is more than just sharing changes. It turns out that as soon as you start working with others using Send/Receive, you find you want to write notes to them. So we added the ability to attach questions to lexical entries, and to carry on conversations about the question. Future versions will add other kinds of notes, and allow them to be attached to particular fields, not just whole entries.
In the following screenshot, notice the circled buttons. We’d click the left-most to add... read more
