You may download version 3.3.3 here and see a list of the changes and fixes here.

• Features
• TD-1662: changes for removing examples without audio and staging Cherokee sample data at http://pathway.sil.org/cherokeedemo
• TD-2686: Only display PrinceXml if the user has installed it.
• TD-2758: Create Table in LibreOffice
• TD-2778: sanitize title and copyright string in title page to avoid crash.
• Errors fixed
• Fill out comments for epub.
• TD-2775: fix title page line-height for h1. Also cleaned up wrapping in CreateCoverImage – the max width could be beyond the width of the image.
• TD-2783: ConvertNestedDiv.xsl cleans up flex xhtml export so that is passes validation. It removes divs nested in spans and removes the ids of spans that are duplicated.
• TD-1475: Report error when unable to export windows environment .
• TD-2677: Crash, clicking on different “Stylesheet” when currently it’s processing Previewing on other one.
• TD-2734: Synonyms are being lost
• TD-2754: skip block in FixInvalidXhtml if working with scripture data. This will most likely just move the exception for Mark’s data set.
• TD-2755: comment out workaround to LT-11509; there’s something weird going on with the multiple calls to StreamReplaceInFile that might be leaving the temporary files open too long or calls from another process?. FixInvalidXhtml ends up getting called 6 times during OOo export.
• TD-2755: remove fix up that were causing crashes by holding on to files.
• TD-2745: Remove space between verse numbers and the verse text – LibreOffice and Prince
• TD-1662: fix problem with Chrome & other webkit based browsers like Safari on the ipad
• Header
• TD-2728: Header displays as box characters
• TD-2771: Page number doesn’t appear properly in libreoffice
• Picture
• TD-2658: Picture is appear out of margin when Single Lexicon entry have multiple pictures and blank space is appear between pages.
• TD-2726: Position Pictures in InDesign on right edge of column
• TD-2742: Make picture size based on column and page width – LibreOffice and Prince
• Root based dictionaries
• TD-2734, TD-2776, TD-2777, TD-2780, TD-2781: Remove broken links from XHTML export Also remove OpenOffice_OLD from solution.
• TD-2779: fix some spacing issues with root-based dictionaries.
• TD-2783: Add ApplyXslt project for use in applying custom style sheets in BeforePwConvert process.
• TD-2783: Transform was removing all links. Now it only removes broken links.
• Writing System
• Font embedding work. Added a new method to FontInternals, IsFreeFont, that checks the copyright string for known redistributable licenses GPL, OFL, CC. This call is used by the epub export to embed known freely redistributable fonts.
• More epub font embedding stuff — modify the font warning dialog so that users can select any freely redistributable font, not just ones from SIL. Also fixed a bug where the default cover image wasn’t getting picked up in the .epub file.
• TD-2732: Font process refactoring
• TD-2733: Add a WritingSystemStore variable to Pathway key in registry.
• TD-2733: add WritingSystemStore to Linux installation script
• TD-2752: crash in Configuration Tool when clicking on Properties tab. The problem here is that the <>StyleSettings.xml file values are stored in the English Locale, but there are several calls to .Parse that just use the default cultureInfo. This needs lots of work.
• TD-2754: for non-English locales, the Parse commands can throw FormatExceptions. Using the en-US CultureInfo object on the Parse commands fixes this, so that French locales parse the margins, etc. correctly. Also fixed an area where a crash in OO export was causing the columns.xml file to not get closed out properly.
• Writing system wackiness – new method, Common.GetLDMLPath, to poke in the registry looking for the WritingSystemStore string. If it can’t find it, fall back on the Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData folder structure like it used to.

We've just re-released our Simplified Ch... Peirce Baehr

These are the changes in this sprint release…

• Common
  • TD-2702, TD-2703, TD-2704: call PSExport methods from PathwayB to launch the export process (same calls as FLEx and PT make). This makes sure the CSS gets merged properly and the appropriate stylesheet is selected. Also added a flag (-s) to show the ExportThroughPathway dialog, so that users can select their own output / stylesheet if desired.
  • TD-2729, TD-2459: remove hard-coded copyright info phrase from PreExportProcess.GetCopyrightInfo().
  • TD-2716: out of memory and TD-2513: “Reference source not found” error message in exported file.

  • Replace hard-coded path separator chars in GetFiledWorksPath (sic) with calls to Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.
  • TD-2519: allow “counter(sense, disc)” to remain in the CSS file, so bulleted senses format properly.

  • TD-1730: “Save as” button does not working after click on 5 times.
  • TD-2730: ValidateDefaultPrintVia() had some old wording for OpenOffice that was causing the settings validation to fail if the user selected PDF and then restarted the configuration tool.
  • TD-2713, TD-2723: exception thrown when using illegal xml chars in organization name. Encoded the organization name string AND ALL metadata string values. Also backed out some changes to the select organization dialog and added some better comments to explain the logic flow (the select org dialog should only appear once when you first run Pathway).
  • Update and simplify ReadMePw.rtf to reflect current realities and issues that the user can understand.

As part of the process of getting ready for the first official release, this sprint release (after 0.7.12) has been given the 1.0.0 version number. It is our release candidate. A branch has been made of the source and while ongoing development will take place on the trunk, if there are changes that need to be part of the stable release, they will go into the branch.

After the test team completed their exploratory tests, this sprint has been about fixing any issues they identified. These are the issues that were addressed:

• TD-2078: space between lines of the Main title is too much
• PathwayB can accept USFM input but Styles are not getting merged properly.
• TD-2465: XeLaTeX / format Table of Contents
• TD-2245: font-variant: normal;
• TD-2702: dictionary with a reversal index working from the command line.
• TD-2704: more unit test setup; also changed the command line interface to handle multiple input files, other input types. USX/USFM/Paratext bundle are not implemented yet.
• TD-2700: Settings issue is fixed
• TD-1750: “Run time error” while exporting pathway in Paratext 7
• TD-2701, 2692: changed spacing for grammatical-info, partofspeech and other styles. Spacing is set to 0.5em, to increase with the font size rather than the width of the screen.
• TD-2265: Verify space between words implemented
• TD-2147 – display: none;
• TD-2647 — add more error reporting / collection code to Go Bible output and SubProcess class. I’m unable to reproduce the exact scenario described in this defect.
• TD-2699: AboutPw dialog version info. Use Assembly.GetCallingAssembly() to find the version info of the Pathway modules instead of the executing assembly (which could be FieldWorks, Paratext, etc.).
• TD-2679, part 2: instead of using the unicode up / down arrow character in the more / less button, use up/down images from the open source Tango project.
• TD-2666: Picture still shown in the document after disabled the picture option while using the custom stylesheet
• TD-2696: Macro changed for FlexRev.odt so it takes less time to open
• Add tableofcontent custom TeX macro and the standard setspace TeX macro for controlling interline spacing. Update the TeX setup script to handle zero length hyphen files.
