Liblouis Release 3.26.0

05 Jun 2023 - Liblouis

This release contains one new feature, namely the possibility to mark a test as an expected failure just for back- or forward translation. On top of that we have updates for Danish, Hungarian, Norwegian and Nemeth Braille plus the usual assortment of code cleanups and bug fixes.

I'd like to thank everybody for helping to bring liblouis forward.

For a detailed list of all the changes refer to the list of closed issues.

New features

  • The YAML syntax to define tests has been improved so that expected failures can now contain a direction attribute. In other words you can now specify whether you expect a test to fail for both directions or just for forward or backward translation. For more details consult the updated documentation on how to write YAML tests. Thanks to Christian Egli.

Bug fixes

  • Fix an out-of-bound write in brl_checks.c thanks to Bert Frees for the fix and to Han Zheng for the report.
