The following changes have been included in the latest release:
(Get the latest release from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dictionarymaker)

New Features:
---------------------
- A totally new version of the manual has been created, together with a
tutorial document.

Bug fixes:
---------------
- The cursor behaves more consistently and returns to the correct place.
- Ambiguous words' pronunciations are displayed correctly.
- Auto and Incremental modes removed until Incremental mode can be fixed.
- File > Close menu option works correctly now.
- Phonemes with number and special characters load correctly.
- Already classified words are no longer displayed to the user.
- Changed pronunciations can be saved when the same category button is
clicked. It used to be only saved if a different category was clicked.

Known issues:
---------------------

- The cursor currently disappears after entering a phoneme, and re-appears
when the mouse is moved again or when an arrow key is pressed.
- The cursor behaviour can be improved further to behave like
word-processing cursor..
- The Expanded Phoneme Panel sort order still needs to be alphabetised and
resized, and the Word list display needs to track the currently displayed
word correctly.
- When editing the word list, the edited word is added instead, and the
original word is not removed.
- Dictionary Importing needs to be made more tolerant of faulty input files.

- Sound playback can be improved so that predictions are always sounded
fully without sound file stuttering, and sound does not play before the
actual pronunciation is displayed.
- When projects are closed the wrong log file is used for the next project
opened. If Dictionarymaker is exited and restarted the log files work
correctly.
- Export to semi-colon delimited file currently generates an empty file and
needs to be fixed.

======================================================
2.15 beta release history:

Bug fixes:
-------------
- The view statistics dialogue now functions correctly.

New features
---------------
- Words are now marked as belonging to the following categories: Correct,
Proper noun, Partial, Foreign, Invalid
- Pronunciation is now captured for words that are correct, foreign and
proper nouns.
- Only correct words are now used to generate G2P rules.

=======================================================
2.15 alpha release history

Bug fixes:
---------------
- The rule extraction dialogue only appears as long as necessary, and not
longer.
- The phoneme mapping tool now supports the use of numbers in phonemes.
Before the use of this character would result in the mapping tool failing to
import the dictionary.
- If an unknown phoneme is encountered, it is added into the 'New' category
with 'bing.wav' as its default sound.
- If phonemes are edited, the expanded phoneme panel now reflects changes in
name and category made.

New features:
--------------------
- To reduce the number of mouse gestured needed to enter or change phonemes,
the position-indicating colour-bar was changed
to a cursor that responds appropriately to L and R arrows and backspace.
- In the expanded phoneme panel, the context menu was eliminated; a right
click now adds a phoneme at the cursor position,
and a left click now plays the associated sound-file.
