[Dictionarymaker-users] Dictionary Maker 2.1 Released

[Bryan Mc A. <mca...@gm...>]

The Dictionary Maker development team is proud to announce the release of
Dictionary Maker version 2.1.

DictionaryMaker is a graphical tool for creating electronic
pronunciation dictionaries (for natural languages). The system allows a
user to develop a pronunciation dictionary without requiring expert
linguistic knowledge or programming expertise.

Version 2.1 Bug fixes:
----------------------

New rules are now extracted when importing a Dictionary during project
creation, or during a session via the menu option.

The current batch size when in batch mode now only increments if a words
pronunciation is changed. Before it would increment
when a word was verified as correct with the predicted pronunciation,
but no new rules would be added in this case.

A rule extraction message dialog box is now shown when ever rules are
extracted.

When importing a dictionary during a session via the menu option, the
correct words are no longer lost, but are imported.

When exporting rules via the menu option, the system no longer prompts
the user with the same dialog again after exporting has
completed.

When exporting rules the rules are now in the correct order.

Audio support no longer crashes when creating a new project.

Audio playback after pressing the verification buttons or play button no
longer results in runaway threads that slowed performance down.

Audio resources are now allocated more efficiently. System memory is no
longer drained every time audio playback occurs. Before the audio
playback would drain system memory to such a point that the system would
crash.

Audio button state (Play or Stop) is now changed using Java Events.
Before a thread was used to change the status of the button.

The user can no longer verify a word during audio playback. The
verification buttons are now activated and deactivated according to
whether playback is occurring or not.
