Sorry for the delay!!

 

We are happy to announce that the release version of FieldWorks 9.2 is now available.

Some highlights of what is available in FieldWorks 9.2.9 (stable) that is new since the previous stable version (FW 9.1.25):

·       Export dictionaries to Microsoft Word (without going through Pathway)

·       Ability to reorder the fields in the UI in Lexicon Edit view.

·       A new field “Exemplar” has been added to the Sense level of Lexicon Edit.

In the area of the automatic parsers, some major new features include:

 

·       Ability to reorder affix templates.

·       Novel Root Guesser: Provides guesses about which part of an inflected word is the root, if all the affixes can be parsed.

·       Parse Prioritizer: The choice of which word analysis to show as the “most likely guess” now takes into account context and other clues.

·       Parser Test Reports:  Provide extensive detail about parse successes/failures and speed, for easy comparison as the parsing setup is developed.

 

More detailed information is available in the <a href="http://software.sil.org/fieldworks/release-notes/">Stable Release notes.</a>

Afaict, the server is down. I can't even get to
https://software.sil.org/
It just times out.

I looked up the IP address, which appears to be
54.173.104.17
When I ping that, I get a 100% loss.

Hi Mike,

Kem said this was good, so I sent it. Then the issues start rolling in.
I was having trouble with the server. It seems okay now. The link here
should be https://software.sil.org/fieldworks/release-notes/. Sorry!

Confirmed, it's working now. But why does this link
https://software.sil.org/fieldworks/download/fw-92/fw-929/
offer the 9.2.9 version for the patch, but the 9.2.10 version for the
offline installer? Is there something wrong with upgrading to 9.2.10?

And 9.2.10 isn't even mentioned in the "Recent news posts" here:
https://software.sil.org/fieldworks/
although it is mentioned in the release notes link you gave me:
https://software.sil.org/fieldworks/release-notes/

The patch is the same whether online or offline. If using the online
version, the way intended to get the patch is by using auto updates. If you
want to download it, you can get it from under the offline section.

I created the news item for 9.2.10 yesterday, but forgot to publish it. I
have done so now, Sorry about that!

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the updates!

While we're discussing the links on the website: maybe the menu item Downloads > Current Version should point to the same page as "Latest Stable Release" at https://software.sil.org/fieldworks/download/?
Right now it points to 9.1.25 (and seems to be the only link to it).

However, a page with links to older versions as such would also be helpful if the user wants/needs an older one.

Best,
Sasha

It should point to 9.2.9.  Ken was having a problem with this yesterday.  Maybe due to caching?  Is this what you see?
