Hi all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I'm happy to announce the first co-ordinated Linux and macOS release of the fully open source LKB (LKB-FOS). There's full information at <a href="http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbFos" class="">http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbFos</a>, including installation
instructions and a summary of improvements over previous versions of the LKB. I have also recently updated <a href="http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbWishlist" class="">http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbWishlist</a>, <a href="http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbBugs" class="">http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbBugs</a>,
and <a href="http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbMacintosh" class="">http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbMacintosh</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Apart from usability improvements, the most visible change in LKB-FOS is to the type hierarchy display, which shows a target type's ancestors as well as its descendants, and includes commands to zoom in/out and to display type constraints. I hope
this will make it easier to debug type hierarchies. I attach a couple of screenshots.</div>

Best wishes of the season,</div>

Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
I’ve just uploaded a new macOS version of the LKB with improved Unicode support and much faster GLB computation. This version addresses most of the points in "Proper support in the display/entry for non-ascii encodings" at
<a href="http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbWishlist" class="">http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbWishlist</a> .<br class="">
<br class="">
The main highlights are:<br class="">
<br class="">
* The macOS 'Input Sources' menu can be used to switch between language scripts, and the 'Keyboard Viewer' provides convenient multilingual text entry.<br class="">
<br class="">
* Window titles are now able to show any Unicode character.<br class="">
<br class="">
* Grammar and lexicon files are no longer subject to Unicode NFC normalisation.<br class="">
<br class="">
* Much faster GLB computation for large type partitions.<br class="">
<br class="">
The download link and installation instructions are at <a href="http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbMacintosh" class="">
http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbMacintosh</a> . I’ve still got a long list of suggested enhancements from the DELPIN Summit and subsequently. I’m working on them, and I also hope to make a Linux version soon.<br class="">
