0.19 — Coming Soon
13th May: Apologies for the delay on releasing 0.19. To make up for it, this release will have a few more features
than planned. I'm currently implementing a full rework of sets so that they are more powerful and useful than current.
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.
- Rework of Sets
- Allow for multiple items in set choices
- e.g.
{i:[+long],
e:[+long]}
>
{aj,
aw}
- These items can be mixed type e.g.
{k<CV>,
N$[-syll]}
- Allow for sets, as a whole, to be modified by a matrix.
- e.g.
{i, e}:[+long] rather than {i:[+long], e:[+long]}
- Fixes to Metathesis logic
- Swapping segments of different lengths in the same syllable works as expected
- Ellipses will act to group elements on either side (exact behaviour to be determined)
- e.g.
pf..s
>
& to result in
pfas => sapf
- Corrected some error highlighting
Web Changes (Already live)
- Separate this changelog from main page to decrease unnecessary loads

handedness toggle for mobile so you can move rules with your preferred hand

% ## % > &, now works
- Leading spaces before a phrase no longer affect output

{p,t,k} not {ptk} (trailing comma allowed)
Web Changes

- Comments can now be retained in the output
- Finally moved input box to CodeMirror, allowing keybindings and syntax highlighting for comments

- Fixed potential HTML escaping issues when displaying errors.
- Ability to toggle output romanisation.
- Updated
pie-to-proto-germanic example save.
0.16
Library Changes
[-long] matrices match correctly after an ellipsis.- A comment after a deletion rule with no environment no longer errors.

" instead of ^ to remove ambiguity between ʔ͡h and ʔʰ which are now ?^h and ?"h respectively.
- Added more inbuilt diacritic aliases using the new
" prefix.
- Removed dedicated americanist aliases in favour of custom aliasing. See release notes for a replacement.

^ in certain situations.
- Fixed
qǀ, qǃ, qǁ, q‼, and qǂ being falsely encoded as +voice.
