GreekTranscoder Version History:
Version 1.0.4, 2005.07.20:
- In the Unicode transcoder, the 'MATHEMATICAL FRAKTUR CAPITAL M' and 'MATHEMATICAL FRAKTUR CAPITAL P' characters were transposed: the error has been corrected.
- In message boxes, the program now displays icons appropriate to the context if available on the current platform.
- Better interrupt handling.
- Minor code optimzations.
Version 1.0.3, 2005.07.18:
- The program now always reports the conversion progress accurately.
- When verifying and sorting composing characters' sequences, the program now properly switches fonts if needed.
- When switching fonts, the 'Convert Selection Only' setting is now correctly taken into account.
- When replacing Greek characters, the program now makes sure that all the 'AutoFormat' options are turned off, not just those affecting quotes.
- The program requires Word 2000 or later, not Word XP or later, as the included warning message's title mistakenly put it.
- The font previously identified as 'ALPHABETUM' in the default font list is now properly called 'ALPHABETUM Unicode'.
- The font 'Code2001' shouldn't have been included in the font list: the font 'Code2000' now replaces it.
Version 1.0.2, 2005.07.15:
- General code clean-up and optimization: the program is much smaller as a result, and should be faster as well.
- The program now systematically verifies and sorts composing characters' sequences for encodings that use them.
- Providing an encoding is susceptible of such composing characters' verifications, choosing both a source and a target font belonging to that encoding will run those checks.
- The program now produces pairs of surrogate UTF-16 codepoints to represent UTF-32 codepoints Word can't insert directly rather than use other characters as substitute.
- Worked around a problem with Word sometimes losing track of the current selection and transcoding all the document instead.
- Sometimes the program would fail to color in red the characters it couldn't transcode: it's now fixed.
- When converting Beta Code texts which only use regular sigma letters, the program will now produce final sigma letters as needed.
- Increased the font box size in the GreekTranscoderToolbar.
Version 1.0.1, 2005.07.08:
- The Vilnius University encoding is now supported.
- The routine which verifies the Unicode composing characters' sequences is now much more efficient.
- The default font list now includes 'Code2001', 'Gentium' and 'GentiumAlt', and 'ALPHABETUM', plus all the Vilnius-University-encoding fonts listed in the Antioch documentation.
- The default font list no longer includes the so-called 'Semata' fonts.
- The replacement order has been modified so that capital vowels with prosgegrammeni are now treated after the small letter iota with diacritics, but before the plain small letter iota.
- The transcoders have been updated and a few mistakes corrected.
- Improved the treatment of WinGreek quotation marks.
- Corrected an issue on Windows where, even if the minimal configuration was not met, the program would still load.
- On Windows, the program displays a smaller window and uses Arial 10pt instead of 12pt.
