0.19 — To be Finalised
A few more days work is needed for version 0.19 to be ready. However, (as I've been itching to release it) frontend changes are live now as they can be done so without issue.
Consider this a teaser for some of what's to come!
Library Changes (Not yet live)
- Rules such as
a
>
e now preserve length
- Previously, this rule would cause a word such as
ha:t to become het.
- This change now brings the behaviour of IPA Literals in line with Groups and Matrices.
- Previous behaviour is preserved when the input is matched by length e.g.
a:[+lng]
>
e
which is equiv. to
a:[+lng]
>
e:[-lng]
- See here for an archived explanation for the previous behaviour.
- Allow for multi-dimensional suprasegmentals (stress and length) to be referenced with one alpha.
[A long, B overlong] can be replaced with just [A length][A stress, B sec.str] can be replaced with just [A anystress]
- Allow for the underline to be placed within an environment structure.
- e.g.
VN
>
[+nas]
/
<(..)_>
instead of VN > [+nas] / _$ guarantees V and N are of the same syllable and N is coda.
- Allow for sets, as a whole, to be modified by a matrix.
- e.g.
{i, e}:[+long] rather than {i:[+long], e:[+long]}
- Corrected some error highlighting
Web Changes (Already live)
- Separate this changelog from main page
- Add grabber on rule blocks on mobile for easier scrolling
- Add
handedness toggle for mobile so you can move rules with your preferred hand
- Decrease padding and margins to increase useful space

^ in certain situations.
