Noteworthy changes in this release
==================================
-This release contains significant updates to many existing braille
-tables (Chinese bopomofo, Hungarian, Japanese, Russian, Swedish, UEB
-grade 2 Ukrainian). On top of that it also contains new tables for
-*Chinese Common Braille Scheme*, Kinyarwanda and Luganda thanks to
-Cary-Rowen and Jake Kyle. Behind the scenes Samuel Thibault has been
-working tirelessly to fix memory related bugs.
+This release contains major updates to Hungarian, UEB, and Chinese
+bopomofo braille. Danish has been completely reworked and there is now
+support for the Danish braille standard 2022. There are also some new
+tables so that liblouis can now generate Georgian computer braille,
+Swahili (Kenya) and Chichewa (Malawi). Aside from that there is 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 [3]_.

-Bug fixes
----------
-
-- Fix a problem in the parsing of faulty unbalanced context
- expressions. Thanks to Samuel Thibault.
-- Fix a buffer overflow problem when ``output.length`` is larger than
- ``input.length``. Thanks to Samuel Thibault.
-- Fix an endless loop in the handling of computer braille. Thanks to
- Bert Frees.
-
Braille table improvements
--------------------------
-- Remove computer braille from Japanese Kantenji as it is not part of
- the standard. Thanks to Kensaku Yoza.
-- Bring Swedish tables up to date with the latest standard published by
- Punktskriftsnämnden (the Swedish Braille Authority) in 2009. The
- table for uncontracted braille was replaced and new tables for
- (partially and fully) contracted braille have been added. Thanks to
- David Renström from Insyn Scandinavia AB.
-- Improvements to Hungarian (added more exceptions) and migration to
- the ``nonumsign`` opcode thanks to Attila Hammer.
-- Fixed a bug in the Ukrainian table that led to wrong translation of
- some uppercase letters. Thanks to Andrey Yakuboy and Bert Frees.
-- Augment the UEB grade 2 tables to resolve an ambiguity between lower
- groupsigns and punctuation at the beginning of words by placing a
- letter sign at the front of punctuation. This resolves an ambiguity
- between, for example, "discount" and ".count". Thanks to Krzysztof
- Drewniak.
-- Add a new table for *Chinese Common Braille Scheme* which is a type
- of braille used for spelling Mandarin Chinese. It is a variant of the
- *Chinese Current Braille System* but has more perfect marking rules
- and produces less ambiguity than the latter. For more information see
- the comments in ``zhcn-cbs.ctb``. Thanks to Cary-Rowen and Frank.
-- Updates to the Chinese bopomofo braille table thanks to Bo-Cheng
- Jhan:
+- New grade 1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 2 tables for Swahili (Kenya) and
+ grade 1 table for Chichewa (Malawi) thanks to Jake Kyle, Dipendra
+ Manocha and Martin Kieti.
+- Improvements to Hungarian thanks to Attila Hammer.
+- Update braille patterns of some Chinese characters and phrases in the
+ Chinese bopomofo braille table thanks to Bo-Cheng Jhan.
+- Add experimental Georgian computer braille table thanks to Harris
+ Mowbray and Mariam Mikiashvili.
+- Updated the Danish tables to the new 2022 Danish braille standard
+ thanks to Bue Vester-Andersen.
- - Update braille patterns of some Chinese characters and phrases
- - Add braille patterns for various Greek symbols
- - Add "Math rules" section and the mixed number rule
- - Add braille patterns for ☐ (⣏⣀⣹), ☑ (⣏⣿⣹), and ☒ (⣏⣭⣹)
+ - Limited contraction level (grade 2l or 1.5) is no longer part of
+ the Danish braille standard 2022.
+ - There is no longer any need for "literary" tables. In Danish
+ braille, capital letters are now always indicated, and steps have
+ been taken in the standard to ensure better back-translation.
+ - As requested by The Danish Braille Committee, the tables for the
+ 1993 standard will be kept as an option for at least a year. All
+ the 1993 tables have been renamed to include ":sub:`1993`" in the
+ filename, so the new tables will be used as default.
-- New table for Kinyarwanda braille thanks to Jake Kyle from Compass
- Braille.
-- New table for Luganda braille thanks to Jake Kyle from Compass
- Braille.
-- Improvements to the Russian contracted braille table thanks to Andrey
- Yakuboy:
+- Improvements to UEB thanks to James Bowden.
- - Now prefixes "из" and "без" are correctly contracted before hard
- sign (ъ).
- - Fixed a contraction for word "кое-где", now it is contracted
- according to rules.
- - Other minor fixes and improvements.
