JSesh Changelog

What's new in JSesh 6.3.1

Mar 2, 2013
  • This version adds a basic line justification system, better behavior when importing Winglyph files (if JSesh doesn't understand a line in a winglyph file, it will now read the rest of the text and display the MdC line as plain text, instead of printing an error message and stopping reading), a help menu (which opens the JSesh documentation website), and a few bugfixes.

New in JSesh 4.3 (Jul 4, 2010)

  • This version has complete coverage of the "manuel de codage", undo/redo capabilities, color separation for PDF output, easy typing of user codes for signs, and many bugfixes.

New in JSesh 2.10.5 (Jun 4, 2009)

  • new families from S. Thomas : P, Q, R and S families are now complete
  • lots of work done for the IFAO :
  • PDF copy/paste now available on the Mac. As far as I know, works with Word 2008 but *not* with Word 2004, nor with Openoffice/NeoOffice.
  • Wysiwyg PDF option for PDF file save.
  • Note that currently, the available layout options are a bit limited. The may JSesh layout algorithm has no idea of the page size, and hence the result might not be what you want. I'll fix this, but meanwhile I would suggest using SVG when a fine and controlled output is needed.
  • The PDF files use correct CMYK black colour (important for printing workshop)
  • Document preferences are now saved: line, column, small signs centered...
  • cartouche line width is also saved as a software option.
  • JSesh can use a separate set of signs for small glyphs drawn in a small scale
  • shading symbols are available as signs from the menus (they were understood by JSesh from day one, but I didn't think it was interesting to use them. However, If used in conjunction with groups, they allow specific shading to be edited.
  • Square brackets and shading signs are now selectable in the group editor (note that in the future, I indend bracket to scale automatically according to their surrounding, and I will also add sign shading).
  • new drawings for ecdotic marks

New in JSesh 2.8.9 (Feb 4, 2009)

  • New families from S. Thomas : "M" and "O" families are now complete.
  • Improved palette. I need to write a documentation, but you can now combine searches, e.g...
  • you can find signs in the "A" family which are both "armed" and "seated"
  • you can filter the displayed signs to find one which contains a given glyph.
  • I have entered some data about glyphs to eases searches for some families. Basic information is now available for "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F" and "G" families. Families "B" and "C" are fully functionnal as far as the "palette" is concerned.
  • It is now possible to use Window's "Enhanced Metafile" format for exporting graphics from JSesh, both as a files and in cut and paste. Beware: Mac OS X has only a partial support of EMF, so EMF exports are probably not a good idea on the Mac, nor if you want to send a word file to a mac user.

New in JSesh 2.7a (Oct 10, 2008)

  • This version fixes a problem with cut and paste which occurred at least in the latest updates of Word for Mac 2004: the hieroglyphs ended up way too large. Besides, there is again a number of new families from S. Thomas: The "D" and "I" families are complete now. (Hence JSesh has now an almost complete coverage for the families : A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L).
