Christian Egli10f66b22021-09-03 11:15:15 +0200[diff] [blame^]21For this release Bert Frees has been hard at work to clean up the code
22base. He fixed a few bugs one of which was causing memory corruption.
23Others have contributed corrections to braille tables or even provided
24new tables. For example there are now tables for Tshivenda and for
25Russian contracted braille.
