Outage notice 2020-06-05:

We experienced a minor outage for approximately 10 minutes today because I accidentally deleted the wrong configuration file. I restored Parf Edhellen from backup. No data was lost. I apologise for the inconvenience.

Change log 2020-07-06:

• [Games] Introduced a new game mode called Sage. Sage is a difficult but immensely addictive game that exercises your vocabulary and your recognition of words in the language of your choice. Currently supports Quenya and Sindarin. Try it out today!
• [Games] Moved Flashcards to Games and changed the main menu to point to Games instead.

So, what's next? I'm building an improved import agent for Eldamo's dictionary that will accurately support derivations and references. I'm not sure when it'll be done, but I'll keep you apprised of my progress.

Change log 2020-07-22:

• [Global] Renewed Let's Encrypt certificate so that the website doesn't go down when the certificate expires by the end of July. I have finally figured out how to automate the process so that I do not have to manually renew it in the future.

Change log 2020-10-12:

• [Glossary] Imported Eldamo 0.7.7. The import should be more accurate than before as it relies on a refactored and greatly enhanced XML parser.

Known issues:

• Some information in the glossary appear replicated because it is not joined on v, mark and l.
• Phonetic development is missing from Derivations (such as ʒalðā < ʒalaðā < galadā ✧ PE17/135)
• Neologisms imported from Eldamo lack the "Neologism!" banner.
• Numbering is part of keywords (¹, ², etc.)
• Unknown | marker is ruining tables and not formatted correctly. Example: <ref v="mard-" source="PE17/163.3501" mark="|"> (#131359355)
• Neo-Sindarin and neo-Quenya word references do not work as n is not stripped from the language (ns -> s and nq -> q). Fixed!

These issues will be addressed in the future, once they have been weighed against other outstanding issues.
