Textidote Versions Save

This is a draft release.

Main modification: complete overhaul of string manipulation functions, now using the latest version of Petit Poucet. This is major enough to warrant an increment of the minor version number to 0.9.

Other bugfixes:

• Added support for Arabic in list of languages (#188)
• Better replacement for \dots (#206)
• Additional replacements for \citeX commands (#201)
• Emits a warning if --read-all was forgotten (#139)
• \displaymath is counted as an equation (#172)
• Fix to trigger of rule [sh:d:002] (#209)

Download either:

• textidote.jar for a manual install, OR
• textidote_0.8.3_all.deb to install via apt-get (for Debian-based systems)

Major change

The single most major change is that 0.8.3 now compiles with Language Tool version 5.6 instead of 4.6. Although this looks trivial, creating this file requires some trial and error. A repository now describes the exact procedure, which should make the upgrade to newer versions faster in the future.

This officially closes a few long-standing issues revolving around the creation of an up-to-date fat JAR for Language Tool, namely (#136 and #193). It also paves the way for a closing of some other issues such as #188 (which will be done in a later release).

Other changes

Here are the other changes integrated by users since the last release. Thanks to @ErikBjare, @acorbe, @daniel-vera-g, @dezeroku, @LDeakin, @chenyuheng and @ashwinvis!

• eqnarray recognized as a LaTeX environment (#167)
• Support for \href command (#170)
• Encoding option no longer ignored (#176)
• Polish language added in command line parameters (#178)
• Markdown cleaner can ignore comments as in LaTeX (#182)
• A tilde is allowed after "et al." (#192)

Download either:

• textidote.jar for a manual install, OR
• textidote_0.8.2_all.deb to install via apt-get (for Debian-based systems)

Version 0.8.2 contains no new big feature, but cumulates bugfixes and small improvements from the past 18 months. Some of these updates and fixes have been contributed by TeXtidote users: @PierreMarchand20, @bong0, @bratekarate, @neil-lindquist, @Fischer96, @mayjs, @jsoref, @sigma67, @epabion, @ms-jpq.
