[Jsesh-general] Version 2.4.12 available

[Serge R. <ro...@iu...>]

Hello,

I have just uploaded a new JSesh version: 2.4.12

what's new:
* Improvement on mac os X. Menus are supposed to be real mac menus (if 
you use a recent enough version of Java),
 which means you can create your own shortcuts, for instance. JSesh 
files have now their  own icon, and can be double-clicked. On the other 
hand, the "hieroglyphs" menu is now somehow slow.  in a forthcoming 
version, it will be possible to swich modes between "java" menus and 
"mac" menus.

* Improvement in the palette. variants, translitteration, parts of...

* It is now possible to document sign values in an XML file (a more 
user-friendly interface is forthcoming),
and so to add information about "new" signs.

* Improved reading of macscribe files.

* a few new signs, an hymn to Thot, etc.


An important remark on the palette:
    I have created a framework for adding informations about signs, 
which the palette uses. However,
the information itself is far from complete. If you are interested, 
completing this information is something that people with a reasonable 
knowledge of Egyptian (and currently not too afraid of dealing with XML 
files) can do. Volunteer are sought :-)

Best regards,

Serge Rosmorduc
