upgrade Liblouis to version 3.8.0 #9013
Comments
I will provide a pr for this which will also switch to using UCS4 under the hood, being much more friendly to emoji. I intend to add the new Spanish and Arabic tables. I'm not sure about Turkish, though. There is a tr.ctb table that is classified by NVDA as turkish grade 1, but liblouis contains another turkish grade 1 tables. |
Don’t forget to add the arabic computer Braille and arabic grade 2
And also don’t forget to rename the german tables.

The SHA-256 checksum for "de-de-comp8.ctb" is the same in Liblouis 3.1.0, 3.5.0 and 3.8.0, but not in 3.0.0 and before. SHA-256: 6a6f3682bdb20c53458ee813773288d115d094b965c9f58ef0bc3ff98ce80c24 |
Ho to all,
Today, the Liblouis 3.8.0 was released to the public.
It brings a ton of bubfixes, and a lot of renamed braille tables.
The biggest change to us is that pass1 only flags are removed completelly, and the braille tables where updated, and new tables were created.
Here is the excerpt from the changelog
The liblouis developer team is proud to announce the liblouis release 3.8.0. The release is available for download at:
Introduction
Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It features support for computer, literary and math braille, supports contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages[1].
It plays an important role in an open source accessibility stack and is used by screenreaders such as NVDA, Orca and JAWS. A companion project liblouisutdml[2] deals with formatting of braille.
Changes in this release
The major focus of this release is on braille table updates. There are major updates to German, Arabic, Chinese, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Latvian, Spanish and Ethiopic. Some of these new tables have only been possible because Bert Frees fixed some nasty long standing bugs behind the scene. Also there is the usual assortment of code improvements and cleanups.
For a detailed list of all the changes refer to the list of closed issues[3].

now as they are based on `lou_maketable'. As they now work for any

set of tables for the different grades. Thanks to Christian
