LGPL-3.0-or-later
* Tue Nov 19 2019 Michael Gorse <mgorse@suse.com>
- Update to version 3.11.0:
+ A tremendous amount of work by Dave Mielke and Bert Frees
has gone into this release. They have improved liblouis for use
on note taker devices, for backwards translation and a number
of languages. Many other contributors (listed below) have also
helped in fixing bugs and improving braille tables, such as
Dutch, Mongolian, Polish, Ancient Greek, Danish, Irish,
Chinese, and American Braille Computer Code.
+ New features:
- Enable ~always~ rules with a single character and a single
braille cell for back-translation.
- Implement ~noUndefined~ mode for forward translation.
- Use fallback braille representations (NABCC) for rendering
undefined characters in hexadecimal notation.
- Always render undefined characters, also ASCII characters, in
hexadecimal notation.
- Add a new metadata field ~index-name~ for selecting a table
from a list fast and efficiently. It has the most important
information first and no redundant information. It should
look nice when sorted. This in contrast to the existing
~display-name~ field which is for describing a table
accurately and should sound good.
+ Bug fixes:
- Don't let a caps passage end on a word with no letters.
- Handle word resets in the last word of an caps or emphasis
passage if the end indicator was placed before the word.
- Never convert to lowercase if ~capsletter~ is not defined.
- Fix position mapping for back-translation when ~noUndefined~
mode is active.
- Fix bug where a translation would hang on words that match
both a ~nocont~ and a ~repeated~ rule.
- Fix bug where the effect of ~capsnocont~ would leak to the
next word if that word starts with a capital.
+ Braille table improvements.
+ Other changes:
- The python wrapper now encodes and decodes strings to/from
UTF-16 and UTF-32 using the surrogatepass error handler. This
ensures that single UTF-16 surrogate characters are processed
correctly by the wrapper and don't raise an encoding/decoding
error.
- Metadata keys and values are now case insensitive.
- Remove ~unicodedefs.cti~. It was obsolete and never meant
to be included by any tables. Instead use the online
references as mentioned in the documentation now.
- ~lou_checkyaml~ test reporting has been improved.
- Hyphenation tables have been removed from tables except
those needed for ~nocross~ rules.
- ~lou_hyphenate~ can now handle more than just words
(sequences of letters), e.g compound words.
+ Deprecation notice: - The ~noUndefinedDots~ mode has been
renamed to ~noUndefined~. For backwards compatibility
~noUndefinedDots~ is still available in the header file and in
the Python bindings, as an alias for ~noUndefined~.
+ Backwards incompatible changes: None.
+ Changes in version 3.10.0:
+ This release comes across as quiet, containing just the usual
assortment of braille table improvements, cleanups, bug fixes
and the classic buffer overflow patches. But beware, a lot has
happened behind the scenes. Bert and Davy have been adding a
new opcode to handle special emphasis situations. A number of
annoying restrictions with regards to names, such as class
names have been removed thank to Bert. And lastly
also thanks to Bert it is now possible to define inline display
tables in your YAML tests.
+ New features:
- Add a new opcode ~emphmodechars~.
+ Bug fixes
- Remove memoization in ~checkAttr~. It wasn't implemented
correctly, caused some weird bugs and probably didn't do much
for performance.
- Fix multiple buffer overflows in ~compilePassOpcode~.
- Fix a build problem when building without libyaml.
+ Braille table improvements.
+ Other changes:
- Remove various restrictions on which characters and braille
cells can be used in translation rules.
- Remove some code duplication in ~pattern.c~.
- It is now also possible to define inline tables when a display
table has been defined.
+ Deprecation notice: None.
+ Backwards incompatible changes: None.
+ Changes in version 3.9.0:
+ This release has seen a tremendous amount of work by Bert
Frees. He was instrumental in pushing the improvements for
Latvian, Norwegian and Slovenian. But most prominently he
pushed the big change for space and control character
handling through the door. These characters are now no longer
hard coded in liblouis. This should solve a few long standing
issues. Other than that there is the usual assortment of code
improvements and cleanups.
+ New features: None.
+ Bug fixes:
- Fix a problem in the callback registration in the Python
bindings.
- Fixed memory leaks created by block scope compound literals.
- The hard coded rules dealing with white space have been
replaced with a normal table that is included in all tables.
This fixes a number of bugs to do with space and control
characters. This (big) change has been brewing for a couple
of releases and has finally landed.
+ Braille table improvements.
+ Other changes:
- Don't search for tables in ~/usr/local/share/liblouis/tables~
(or the Windows equivalent) if ~LOUIS_TABLEPATH~ is set.
- The log levels in ~liblouis.h~ are no longer exposed as
~LOG_FOO~ but instead are now prefixed. So ~LOG_WARN~ becomes
~LOU_LOG_WARN~ for example to issue a warning from a C
program using liblouis. The actual values remain the same,
so the ABI remains stable.
* * Deprecation notice
- The ~locale~ opcode was never implemented and was just
silently ignored. It is now removed from the tables and a
warning will be issued if it is found in a table.
- Drop
gcc9-fixed-memory-leaks-created-by-block-scope-compound-l.patch
fixed upstream.
- Sover is now 19.
* Fri Mar 29 2019 mgorse@suse.com
- Require libyaml-devel so that yaml tests are run (bsc#1130813).
* Fri Feb 22 2019 Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>
- Add gcc9-fixed-memory-leaks-created-by-block-scope-compound-l.patch
(boo#1122169).
* Wed Jan 16 2019 Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>
- Use %make_build in order to build the package in parallel way.
Add make check.
* Sun Jan 06 2019 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 3.8.0:
+ Noteworthy changes in this release: The major focus of this
release is on braille table updates. There are major updates to
German, Arabic, Chinese, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Latvian,
Spanish and Ethiopic. Some of these new tables have only been
possible because Bert Frees fixed some nasty long standing bugs
behind the scene. Also there is the usual assortment of code
improvements and cleanups.
+ New features: None.
+ Bug fixes:
- Fix support more than 4 classes.
- Fix capitalization of words that match nocont rules.
+ Braille table improvements.
+ Other changes: Updated the lou_allround and lou_trace test
tools to include all the mode flags described in the
documentation of the lou_translateString() function.
+ Backwards incompatible changes: The pass1Only flag has been
deprecated for a while and is now removed from the code.
- Bump sover define to 17, following upstreams soname bump.
* Fri Sep 21 2018 mgorse@suse.com
- Update to version 3.7.0 (boo#1109319)
+ New features
- Added a new opcode ~midendnumericmodechars~. Characters
defined with this opcode can appear in the middle or at the
end of a number without canceling numeric mode.
+ Bug fixes
- Fix another stack-based buffer overflow in input parsing
reported by Henri Salo thanks to Christian Egli.
- Fix input/output positions for back-translation.
- Major improvements in the back-translation of capitalized words
- Fixed a problem in the back-translation of numbers in
conjunction with punctuation and letters.
- Fix a buffer overflow in ~matchCurrentInput~.
+ Braille table improvements
+ Other changes
- Added documentation of opcodes which were previously
introduced as part of the UEB work.
- Removal of the code for the /scripting language/ for
multipass opcodes. This code was originally introduced in
2012 but never documented. Consequently it was never used.
Meanwhile the original code for multipass opcodes was much
improved. So there is no more need for this (duplicate)
code and we are removing it.
+ New tables: zhcn-g1.ctb, zhcn-g2.ctb

parsing (bsc#1094685 CVE-2018-11410).
* Fri May 25 2018 kbabioch@suse.com
- Updated to version 3.5.0:
+ New features
- The same name can now be used in more than one ~class~ rule.
The effect is that both set of characters become part of that
one class.
+ Bug fixes
- Fix a regression in inputPositions thanks to Bert Frees
- Treat characters within the range ~compbrlStart~ and
~compbrlEnd~ as a special case. This fixes many if not most
of the problems with cursor position and the
~compbrlAtCursor~ mode. Thanks to Dave Mielke.
- Fix ~swapdd~ opcode thanks to Bert Frees
- Fix negation of attribute matcher in multipass expressions
thanks to Bert Frees
+ Braille table improvements
+ Backwards incompatible changes

never really implemented anyway
- Support for the ~pass1Only~ flag has now been removed. Thanks
to Bue Vester-Andersen.
- The old UEB tables ~UEBC-g1.ctb~ and ~UEBC-g2.ctb~ have been
removed as the have been superseded by ~en-ueb-g1.ctb~ and
~en-ueb-g2.ctb~.
- The french tables ~fr-2007.ctb~, ~fr-fr-g1.utb~,
~fr-fr-g2.ctb~, ~fr-ca-g1.utb~ and ~fr-ca-g2.ctb~ have been
removed. Use ~fr-bfu-comp6.utb~ for 6 dots literary,
~fr-bfu-comp8.utb~ for 8 dots computer and ~fr-bfu-g2.ctb~
for contracted braille instead.
- Updated to version 3.4.0:
+ New features
- Add support for ~inputPos~ and ~outputPos~ checking in
~lou_checkyaml~ thanks to Bue Vester-Andersen. See the manual
for details and examples.
+ Bug fixes
- output positions (~outputPos~) are now calculated based on
input positions (~inputPos~) thanks to Bert Frees. This
avoids a whole class of bugs that previously plagued the
output positions. This fix also obviates the need for the
~pass1Only~ flag. See below for the deprecation notice.
+ Braille table improvements

based on a corpus of known good Braille translations. This
has huge potential to simplify table maintenance for tables
that have so far been dominated by large exception lists.
- A new API and a corresponding command line tool to query
table meta data

boo#1056090 (CVE-2017-13743), and boo#1056088
(CVE-2017-13744)
+ Braille table improvements
- Changes from version 3.2.0:
+ Bug fixes
- Fix capsnocont opcode. Also mark capital letters with
capsletter symbol when capsnocont is defined but no
begcapsword indicator is defined.
- Fix the syllable opcode. It had been broken under some
circumstances since 3.0.
+ Other changes
+ Fix building of Python bindings when cross-compiling.
- lou_checkyaml is now only installed if libyaml is available.
- Enhance documentation on usage of display tables in
particular
in conjunction with Unicode dot patterns.
+ Braille table improvements
- Changes from version 3.1.0:
+ New features:
- Most of the translation tables now contain meta data. This
makes them discoverable. Programs can use the lou_findTable
function to find a table based on a query.
- Add a noUndefinedDots mode to disable the output of dot
numbers when back-translating undefined patterns.
- When back translating input from a braille keyboard cell by
cell, it is desirable to output characters as soon as they
are produced. Similarly, when back translating contracted
braille, it is desirable to provide a "guess" to the user of
the characters they typed. To achieve this, liblouis needs to
have the ability to produce no text when indicators (which
don't produce a character by themselves) are not followed by
another cell. This works already for indicators liblouis
knows about such as capital sign, number sign, etc., but it
does not work for indicators which are not (and cannot be)
specifically defined as indicators. For example, in UEB, dots
4 5 6 alone produces the text "\456/". Setting the
noUndefinedDots mode suppresses this dot number output.
- Add a partialTrans mode to specify that back-translation
input should be treated as an incomplete word. If this mode
is set, rules that apply only for complete words or at the
end of a word will not take effect. This is intended to be
used when translating input typed on a braille keyboard to
provide a rough idea to the user of the characters they are
typing before the word is complete.
+ Bug fixes
- - Fixes implicit declaration of 'pattern_check'
- Fix a stackoverflow crash on applications with smaller stack
size.
- Fix the \v escape sequence.
- The Python bindings now give a helpful error if liblouis has
been compiled with a different character size than Python.
- Massive bug fixes in multipass rules. Dave Mielke has done a
tremendous job improving the multipass machinery also in the
context of back-translation. Where needed nofor/noback has
been added to the multipass rules.
+ Other changes
- Improvements to the Emacs mode for editing liblouis tables
- Documenting lou_charSize
+ Braille table improvements
+ License changes
- DocArch has agreed to re-license their tables, so we have 8
more tables under the LGPLv2.1+.
- Changes from version 3.0.0:
+ New features
- Numerous features to support UEB properly.
- support the many emphasis classes needed for UEB.
- support translation of numbers according to the rules of UEB.
- Capitalization is now handled just like emphasis.
- support for numeric mode
- UTF-8 support for all tools
- Add ~lou_checkTable~ and ~lou_getTypeformForEmphClass~ to
the C API and to the Python bindings
+ Bug fixes
- Stop buffer overrun in ~lou_getProgramPath~, and also free
memory after usage.
+ Other changes
- The license of the library and most of the tables has been
changed to LGPLv2.1+.
+ Braille table improvements
* Changes from version 2.6.5:
+ New features

+ Bug fixes
- Fix a bug in the findtable code.
- Fixes to the logging code
+ Other changes
- Clean up dead code i.e. remove support for (undocumented)
nobreak opcode.
+ Braille table improvements
- Use %{version} in Source
- Pass --enable-ucs4 to configure, for compatibility with python
- Build with make -j1; otherwise make is unable to resolve some
dependencies.
* Fri Feb 10 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Define python_sitelib: newer versions of python-rpm-macros
overwrite it to be python2 specific (python3 macros is called
python3_sitelib).
- To be on the safe side, define __python to python2 when not
building for python3.
* Mon Jun 06 2016 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Move %install_info_delete from postun to preun.
- Drop makeinfo BuildRequires: it's quite a big dependency and
the .info file is present in the tarball.
- Install doc directly (make_install -C doc).
* Thu Apr 14 2016 mgorse@suse.com
- Update to GNOME 3.20 Fate#318572

for installation, and remove redundant %clean section.
* Mon Jan 11 2016 fcrozat@suse.com
- Move data from library package to separate subpackage, to ensure
library package can be safely upgraded.
* Wed Oct 21 2015 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.6.4:
+ New features: YAML based harness tests. Harness tests can now
be written in simple YAML notation and they are integrated with
the normal `make check' command. They can be used for both ucs2
and ucs4 and no Python is required.
+ Bug fixes:
- Use a separate gnulib instance for the library and the tools.
Use the strndup module to avoid build problems on windows.
- Fix a problem with the nocross opcode when used in
combination with the opcodes nocont and compbrl.
- Fix a problem with the decoding of the harness test files.
- Fix numerous problems in the way braille indicators are
handled. There is now a safe version of the checkAttr
function which makes sure that no attributes are checked
beyond the boundaries of the currentInput. This fixes the
random behavior with tests where the emphasis extends to the
end of the input string.
+ Other changes:
- If found use texi2any to build the documentation.
- Fix permissions of Korean tables.
- Update the windows build instructions.
+ Braille table improvements:
- Changes from version 2.6.3:
+ New features:
- [beta] The new function lou_findTable can be used for table
discovery based on meta data in table headers.
