Hi everyone,

I have not yet finished adding the changes made by Bert in the
odt2braille project. However, I think we should prepare a release of
what is in the repository now anyway. The reason being that I might
not be able to complete this work for awhile, due to other
commitments. Also, we do not yet have any official release that can be
tested by users or distributed with other projects.

What do you think?

Best,
Joel

I think you should do it.

Btw: I'm going to have more time to work on the brailleutils project
from now on. I'm currently switching from pef2text to brailleutils, and
trying to incorporate the changes I made to pef2text into brailleutils.

PS: How should I contribute code in the future? Would it be useful to
have my own branch? I don't know much about svn.

That is great news, I am looking forward to your contributions!

Perhaps we should talk on Skype sometime soon, because you might find
the things I have not checked in yet useful. If this is the case, then
I should commit that code, and since I haven't finished it, it should
be in a separate branch. I don't think that you need your own branch,
but we should create branches for:
1. the release I talked about (in case we need to patch it while
working on other things)
2. the work that I have in my workspace which is not ready (if needed)

If you want to build on my ongoing work, then that's the branch you
should be working from.

I am no expert on SVN either, but we should be able to work it out.

Hi everyone,

I have now published a zip-file containing Braille Utils 1.1.0rc1
(first release candidate for version 1.1.0). Please try it and report
any issues you may find before March 15. If things go well, we should
be able to publish a final release shortly thereafter.

For more information on how to run the software:

Hi everyone,

I have published a zip-file containing Braille Utils 1.1.0. The only
changes compared to the previous version is in the API documentation.
The new version has been included in Daisy Pipeline and will probably
make it into the release following the March 17 release candidate.
