Aldaleon #91

Change log 2018-03-07:

  • A single gloss might return multiple results depending on how many translations it has. We have improved how the system aggregates glosses.
  • Introduced gloss details, which will be used for the import of Eldamo 0.6.0 (and all subsequent versions). Details is essentially categorized, additional information that will, depending on the view real-estate, be displayed differently.
  • Increased maximum nickname from 32 to 64 characters. This will impact some of you with really long names who could not log in before.
  • Long URLs are shortened to the domain (see Discuss section for examples).
  • Moved the larger text body in front of the browser for Phrases.
  • Introduced EDHtmlInjection component for rendering HTML received from the server side.
  • Introduced Markdown support for Phrase abstract and Contribution rejection justification messages.

Import of Eldamo 0.6.0 is underway! This update added the facilities required for presenting the forthcoming information in an organized manner.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the contribution view to crash for glosses.

Happy Womens' Day!

Aldaleon #102

Change log 2018-03-09:

  • Imported Eldamo 0.6.0. We will import 0.6.2 next, as 0.6.1 is too buggy to import.
  • Added support for word linking with languages. Example: [[s:hen]] >> hen, [[q|lye]] >> lye.

Known issues

  • Rejected forms under Variations are not marked.
  • There are a few repetitions under variations and derivations.
  • Phrases were imported along with glosses.
  • Words linked to words in phrases have the same header as imported Inflections.
Aldaleon #103

Parf Edhellen was unavailable today for 1 hrs, 46 mins. The root cause was diagnosed as a host error.

We have refreshed the host and updated the software, and we will continue to monitor the host's behaviour closely.

Sorry about that!

Aldaleon #105

Change log 2018-03-10:

  • Links should respect language barriers now. Example: MELE should go to mele "love" for the early primitive elvish language only.
  • The root sign (√) is now successfully removed by normalization. Example: √NDOLO "dig, delve".
  • Heavy query optimization for glosses, probably addressing the performance problem that caused the outage.
  • All deprecated glosses have been deleted for performance.
Aldaleon #112

Change log 2018-03-14:

  • Added an API method for getting languages.
Aldaleon #114

Change log 2018-03-15:

  • Fixed a bug which disabled links in glosses.
  • Integrated ElfDict's frontend with the new language API.
  • Improved management of languages and the way the frontend interacts with the API. It should lead to performance improvements.
